Any further doubts as to where this administration is leading us?

We are officially no longer "normal human beings"

You may not live as one of us,
You may not live among us,
You may not live.

    Just the words "Candy Mountain" pretty well adds up to a Kool-Aid drinking Libtard's dream of the hope and change Socialist Utopia all forcibly paid for--for freaking forever--by the evil rich.

    Didn't Obama get 53% of the vote in 2012 ? Hmmm, she might be correct.

    I thought you were referring to "The Big Rock Candy Mountain" as sung by the great Burl Ives. It relates the fantasy of a hobo who never worked for a living.
    "Oh, the buzzin' of the bees
    And the cigarette trees,
    The soda water fountain,
    All can be found
    When you turn around
    At the big rock candy mountain."
    It's the lazy man's tale of a bum's paradise. Sort of like the promises of the left and Obama, versus reality.

    After watching the You Tube Video all I can say is: Huh! I believe that the employees of the Federal Govt are now speaking Orwell's "Newspeak". The same is being adopted by SCOTUS.
    Let's say that the US adopts all these restrictions are then going to force the whole populated world to do the same? Are the employee's and elected bureaucrats think the weather just resides in the US? The Think Tanks and other organizations have multidegreed individuals researching the enviroment and envision this garbage. I'm beginning to believe Glen Becks idea that we don't want these people in our government. Throw all these high and mighty people in the street. Hire individuals who have some experience and are rational.
    It's not gooing to matter! Anyway where is the new type of power that is not going to be non- polluting. The high taxes in this country and special interests styme any inovation.
    Hello, BHO we are only one country and no one else is really follow our lead! You have created an America Who!?
    This whole administration verbalizing so much Newspeak to sow confusion into the population that individual thought will be scrambled eggs. How can anyone consider beauracrats and elected officials human beings. They are not!

    Huh? The only issue I raised was one regarding whether McCarthy actually meant to insult as abnormal a majority of Americans. That was the position taken by the author of the article in question. See the title of this thread. I thought it was a stretch to say so based on the cited poll. If that is what you mean regarding the "wider issue" then I have already addressed it and you apparently find it futile to comment further about it. If you mean some new issue I'll be glad to render an opinion but keep in mind I am neither a climate scientist nor a satirist so my view may not carry much weight with you.

    I thought the ancient Celtic theology had devolved into ancient Greek mythology.
    Sometimes I refer to the Marxist Utopia (what the BHO legacy is to help lead us to) simply as "Candy Mountain" here.
    I derive the hope and change of Candy Mountain from the first Charlie the Unicorn cartoon to appear on YouTube.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5SJFg7gq...

    After posting the above, I watched the cartoon all the way through for the first time in maybe two years.
    This time the ending caused me to think of Obamacare.

    Reminds me of Joe vs. The Volcano. Meg Ryan's second part of the three she played.Just be glad I didn't spell Satirest with a y.

    Instead of I have no response to that a la Meg try DAMN I''m glad I didn't write that!

    Actually i was trying to address the wider issue without purposes of evasion.

    As for cattle cars the new buzz word is relocalization which applies to humans, food, and other resources. But especially to humans - with or without consent.

    Example of overstating fits this thread. At the top it says over fifty percent. In itself unusual as we were taught even back in the days of fairly decent education that 50% carries a special cache so round up to the next higher number. Even though 50% is the lower half and should be rounded down So let's suppose that the over 50% was 50.000000000001.% Yes round up. But now we are left to wonder what does over 50% mean? If this were politbureauspeak it would be described as greater than the 50% required then close to 100% then a landslide by the time it got to the FMSM. That's how balanced budgets with a surplus are made and elections contested- out of very thin air. Fifty percent of what? All humans. I checked and found the claimed number is 7.324.782.000. 2015. and nine billion by 2040. No sweat I'll give up my space. Maybe. On the other hand 3,662,391,001 and 3,662,391,999 is greater and lesser than 50%.If we put one end in the ocean will the teeter totter turn into a slide? Only the crabs know for sure. To be more exact the population of the Western hemisphere where I live exceeds one billion by a little bit with three major languages. The other half is a bit under six billion with a new language every 100 kilometers. Put another way 88% live in the northern hemisphere about 5,600,000,000. Still too much. 387,500,000 is South America. the least populated. This is where politics gets in the way. Do we head south letting the other hemisphere do the same? After all and like Los Angeles they used up more than their fair share of land. Or do we blame South America for not using their fair share and giving back the rest?

    Question for someone else. Or a problem for an Objective Satirest. Back to you Eudaimonia! join us again anytime different station and remember Australia Oz1 might be the answer. Cognitive first Communicate 2nd.

    I conceded nothing, I merely recognized the futility of arguing with *you* about it.

    I notice that you have not addressed the wider issue beyond what the actual percentage is.

    So, then, cattle-cars?

    Ok, enough with theology. Let's talk about real stuff, like the wonderful legacy BHO will leave us.

    Actual or self labeled makes no difference of course. You and I have exactly the same free speech rights and I am definitely no satirist of any kind. That takes talent I lack. Back to the main point, you still believe the 53% comment was an accurate characterization of McCarthy's intent? I thought you conceded that it was not accurate but did not wish to quibble about it. Well there is no way to answer this with certitude without asking Ms. McCarthy who undoubtedly would not talk about it because she is probably ashamed she characterized anyone as abnormal simply because they refused to be convinced by her "evidence."

    She's talking about themselves...(everyone in government) which happens to match my own observations. The kakistocracies are inhabited by non humans.

    Well, thank you for recognizing my First Amendment right to write political satire as I have for the past six years.
    Maybe in another six, I will be an actual satirist, not merely a self-labeled one.

    I overstated nothing.
    Neither did the article.

    Eudaimonia: I'm not sure labeling oneself as a political satirist provides a free pass to grossly overstate or be rude but the First Amendment recognizes that everyone has that right. Even Ms. McCarthy. But that doesn't exempt her (or you) from criticism. That's why I fault her for her statement that those who disagree with her are not normal. The author of the article overstated his case by attempting to make the pretty obviously wrong point that she was smearing "over half" of Americans as abnormal. I take it you agree.

    Perhaps "not normal"s have increased in percentage since the revelation of not one, not two, but several important data collecting by NOAA, climate *scientists,* and universities were fudged, excluded and simply made up to present a *scientific* case for man-made global warming. These same studies are pushed as agendas within agency legislating bodies even now as they have been exposed for lying in studies and not using ethical scientific methods to collect and report their data. The recent polls reflect Americans' understanding that climate change attributed to human beings has been exaggerated. We were duped. Well, I was not. http://www.gallup.com/poll/182105/concer...

    From the article: "You can have fun doing that if you want, but I’ve batted my head against the wall too many times ..." That kind of damage explains a lot. Her walls are also no longer normal.

    "Sort of like calling someone you know little of a 'religious zealot, useful idiot.'"
    Absolutely nothing like it at all.
    Ms. McCarthy is the head of a government agency which wields a ridiculous amount of unconstitutional power.
    It is *her job* to wield that power as temperately and fairly as she can, and if the power is too much for her, to step the f*** down.
    I am a political satirist.
    It is *my job* to ridicule the snot out of those who abuse their power; the more "intemperate" the ridicule, the more temperately I am doing my job.

    I wield *no power*, "intemperate" language from me results in a controversial piece.
    McCarthy wields *tons of power*, intemperate language from people in similar positions has resulted in gulags and cattle-cars.

    Ms. McCarthy attacked people like me as "not normal".
    I attacked back that she is a "religious zealot, useful idiot, who thinks Galileo should have shut the fuck up".
    She set the terms of the debate... and a political satirist responded in kind.
    My response is not intemperance, it is *fair game*... plus, I backup up my attack with relevant claims.

    " What percentage of people do you think would indicate approval of those points? The fifty three percent referenced in the article? Of course not."
    I will not quibble over the percentage, although I obviously think that it is way closer to 53% than you do.
    The real question is "Do we as a people tolerate whatever percentage of people to whom Ms. McCarthy was referring to be chucked into a cattle-car? Even if that percentage is 0.0000001%? And even if that percentage was verified stubborn and wrong?"

    My answer is, "Hell, no."

    This woman is one of the ones who is not normal.
    She blames everyone except government, for change, and then things dictating to real people will solved a non-problem of climate change. Is she were genuinely interested in climate change, she would be calling for answers to what the Russian, US governmental and private, little climate control installations are doing to weather. Instead, that is a dirty little secret which is never mentioned. Funny how HAARP's heatingof the ionosphere is okay, but oh, that is so far secret now that you can't even find what is going on. Still, there is Obama's pet HAMP, which reportedly can move storms, especially when politically advantageous. These wackos are all rhetoric and no brains. -
