On the Fact that in 1985 President Obama's Science Adviser, John Holdren, Said THIS -
"Carbon-dioxide climate-induced famine could kill as many as a billion people over the next 35 years."............O.K. He's got 4 more years before we can completely dunk him but does anyone in his or her right mind really think that this is going to happen? The real truth of the matter is that climate-related deaths are actually down by over 95% since 1935 (this, despite the fact that the population has markedly grown) and that this has happened as CO2 levels have risen by more than 45%. I mean, I know that these doomsday scenarios are part of the DNA of these lunatics and all, but the fact that they've become so anti-progress when it is progress MORE THAN ANYTHING that has literally saved the lives of millions - maybe we need to start pushing back a little/calling them (the Michael Manns, the Al Gores, the Bill McKibbens, the John Holdrens, etc.) out on this bullshit (in this instance, SUVs and power-plants killing 1,000,000,000 people). You know that I'll be doing it.
On the Fact that the European Union Has a Total GDP that Is Six Times Greater than that of Russia and Yet a Large Number of the Member Countries (Norway, the Baltic States, Poland, etc.) Still Spend Less than 2% of Their GDP on Defense
They must figure that since we're willing to bankrupt our country with wasteful defense spending PROTECTING THEM, there really isn't a necessity for them to do likewise (which of course affords them the opportunity to bankrupt themselves on other items; green energy idiocy, the welfare state, bailouts, etc.).

On the Claim that Since Most Black Slave-Holders Were Mulatto it Doesn't Really Count
Alright, then Obama isn't the first black President then (though, yes, Mrs. Obama is still America's first black First Lady).
On Steamboat Pioneer, Robert Fulton
The man was a genius. We learned this from history books. But what these same history books frequently leave out is the fact that Fulton was also a) a crony capitalist who received government handouts, b) granted a monopoly for Hudson River steam travel, and c) a fellow who eventually went bankrupt (Vanderbilt - who challenged that monopoly and won - kicked his ass up and down that river)....Hm, could it be that these leftist historians simply prefer losers (and especially if they're government darlings)?
Healthcare Economist, Michael Tanner, on the U.S. Economy
He referred to us as, "the fastest horse in the glue-factory (a reference to the fact that, even though we now have a higher debt to GDP ration that countries like England and France, we still have the world's preferred currency, more wealth, a manageable deficit - FOR NOW, etc.)."
On the Fact that Some People Oppose Economic Change (Trade, Immigration, Automation, Regulatory Reform, Tax Reform, Privatization, etc.) Because it Hurts Certain People
If that mindset had prevailed throughout history, we'd still be in the damned bronze-age.
