In a recent post here, my fellow blogger railed against Hillary Clinton for lying about her sniper attack in Bosnia.
I am reading an interesting book by Carl Sagan called "The Demon-Haunted World." It talks about, among other things, how the mind can play tricks on you and make you think something has happened when in reality, it hasn't.
I would argue that this is the likely case with Clinton's sniper incident. I was in Bosnia the same time Clinton was. In fact, I was in the audience at the airport when her husband, the president at the time, spoke.
I have taken off and landed from that same airport at about the same time. All airplanes taking off and landing in a war zone take off and land very quickly (and at very steep angles) to avoid sniper fire. I'm sure she got this confused with her plane actually being shot at by a sniper.
And no, this doesn't just happen to liberals.
The esteemed Ronald Reagan was famous for this. He often recollected events in his life which he thought were true but actually came from movies. The Sagan book mentions this, specifically about the time he told a story of his time in World War II where his unit helped liberate a concentration camp.
Reagan actually spent World War II in Hollywood making training films for soldiers and saw the bit about the concentration camp in a movie. It happens to the best of us, liberal and conservative alike.
Liberals by far are lie the most, from their extremist and alarmist ideological concerns. Like the myth of global warming to Gore inventing the internet, they know no shame. Everyone knows the news media is only correct about 25% of the time and most of the media is run by liberals. Drama makes for good ratings. So does appealing to emotions of voters. Rather than telling the truth, the liberal politicians dramatize everything. Look at there track record. I am sure they have good intentions and think they are going to make the world better but thats just not the case. Conservative think logically, have a problem, use logic to find a solution. Edwards and Clinton (Bill) are like the only two liberals that I can remember that weren't extremist. Now if Edwards was running for president, he might get my vote.
ReplyDeleteLike I stated before, Al Gore the poster child for the environment is leaving a bigger carbon foot print than just about anyone else. But people still follow him and his worthless global warming clan.
Remember the Ozone hole? It was 30% smaller in 07 the 06 and at it's largest point was in 1977! So much for that alarmist world ending problem. As soon as scientist found out that the CFC's blamed for creating the hole where heavier than air, all mention of it stopped.
If you want to live with the lies be my guest, I don't
Science is more confusing than religion!

Bricks Don't Float Up
Despite all the information you may have read, there is not one shred of supportable evidence that CFCs have found their way 40 miles up above the Earth. No one has ever found any up there because they are roughly five times heavier than air. They are like a brick in a swimming pool. It is not often that you will see a brick floating to the surface of your pool. CFCs are so dense that even as a gas you could fill a bucket with it and pour the contents of one bucket into another. Secondly there is no evidence that they can destroy anything because they are very stable and unreactive substances. Most dictionaries and chemistry books describe them as inert gases.
