[Well, 'tis the global warming season among other less intensely celebrated religious holidays. We will observe it with an intense fervor not seen in many a year. And AGW, I might add, has ascended to become mankind's first global religion. This week's Economist features its cover story titled 'Clear thinking on climate change' in which the lead commentary accepts the kool-aid with the short statement "that climate change is happening, that it is very largely man-made and that it is exceedingly dangerous, are all now hard to deny". Then it goes on to discuss the political situation in Paris, and that any real agreement will be hard to achieve. And then, I kid you not, in its 14-page spread to induce the promised "clear thinking", it goes through a major dissertation on the models and science, admitting that essentially nothing is well known about the dynamics of earth's climate and less about making the models used to predict near term catastrophe intended to launch thousands of laws and regulations to tame earth's temperature. Now there we have a good and clear example of liberal thought. gjr]

PaulE 1133am – Good piece Paul. The authors recommend that we apply the Reagan response to communism – contain it and let it collapse of its own weaknesses. Add to that the Rebane Doctrine of topical constrained strikes against their infrastructure and cash generating capacity, then we just may have a working solution to bring down ISIS. Will it also bring down the other jihadist organizations starting with Al Qaeda? The answer to that is no, their support structures are more distributed across global Islam.
What in my mind would best mitigate the subdued hostility that the west has toward anything Islamic today is the launch of regular counter demonstrations by the claimed moderate Muslim communities.
Today the polls describe the anti-western sentiment in these communities. Visible, strong/strident, and continuous demonstrations by such Muslims in response to EVERY jihadist strike would do much to support the narrative that Islam is not an anti-western civilization (now only promoted by the Left).LikeLike

Walt, what’s your take on the Islamic terrorists today in San Bernadino? The deathtoll from Muslim attacks in the US since 2001 continues to mount. Breitbart reports a video exists of a black vehicle exiting a nearby Syrian Refugee camp this morning.

No fucknut…..I can only speak for myself but watching you assholes put on your climbing gear to ascend the pile of bodies and put your right-thinking on display every time there is a shooting gets a little tiresome. I guess we’re getting tired of getting blamed all the time.
The couple of guns that I own have killed precisely 0 people Ben.
“Just curious. It seems like everything scares the daylights out you.”

Or if you want to go the more rigorous route follow these five easy steps.
Want to create a gun-free America in 5 easy steps?
Here’s all there is to it:
Step 1: Elect. For a gun-free America, the first thing you’ll need is two-thirds of Congress. So elect a minimum of 67 Senators and 290 Representatives who are on your side.
Step 2: Propose. Then, have them vote to propose an amendment to the Constitution which repeals Second Amendment gun rights for all Americans.
Step 3: Ratify. Then convince the legislators of 38 states to ratify that change.
At this point, the Second Amendment is history, but you’ve done nothing to decrease gun violence. All you’ve done is remove the barrier for Congress to act.
Step 4: Legislate. You need to enact “common sense” reform.
You can try to do what Australia did and…ban all guns? That’s not at all what they did, but whatever, fuck it. Go big or go home, right?
It will have to be passed by Congress and signed by the president.
Great! The law is passed and guns are now illegal. The only thing left to do is…
Step 5: Enforce. Guns won’t just disappear because you passed a law. You need to confiscate some 350 million guns scattered among 330 Million Americans.
Sure, you can try a buy-back program like Australia, but like Australia that will still leave behind anywhere from 60 percent to 80 percent of privately owned firearms.
The rest you have to take.
You’ll need the police, the FBI, the ATF or the National Guard—all known for their nuanced approach to potentially dangerous situations—to go door-to-door, through 3.8 million square miles of this country and take guns, by force, from thousands, if not, millions of well-armed individuals. Many of whom would rather start a civil war than acquiesce.
So inevitably gun violence, which is currently at a historic low, will skyrocket.
But that is how you get a gun-free America in five easy steps.Easy Peasy Jonny Queasy!
