Wow! I shouldn't be surprised that went completely over your head. It follows the same train of thought about how man's contribution to disrupting the climate and our arrogance in that regards. I suppose you had to try and call it a deflection since you didn't comprehend it. I believe we are a minor player in a process we don't even fully grasp. To say "the science is settled" is complete arrogance. There was a time scientist said the earth was flat and was the center of the universe and grain transformed into mice. They even said it wasn't possible to exceed the sound barrier. If the arrogance of the climate change scientists existed then, we'd still believe that. After all, the science is settled! No need to discuss or question it!

And China is who the UN thinks we should emulate. FAIL! If you believe in evolution the you should also believe that how we affect the world around us is also part of the natural process. To believe otherwise is to assume that humanity is somehow separate and above the natural order. We were created and not a part of evolution? Are we aliens placed in this environment and thus upsetting its balance?

I believe that are far bigger and more powerful influences on our climate than us. It's the arrogance of man that leads him to believe we and only we are the levers of change in the climate. Preponderance of science? Really? You mean all those failed computer models that they hung their hats on and now blithely ignore now that they've failed? The one that was exposed as having cooked the numbers to achieve a desired result? THAT preponderance of science? Your inability to accept reality is really beyond belief. It seriously borders on mental illness. You really should see a doctor sooner rather than later.

I believe that the earth's climate is acting exactly as it should. How is that blind faith? It's not possible to deny something that is false. Nothing, I repeat NOTHING that has been predicted by the alleged "settled science" has come has been true. Yet you still deny the obvious. The sad and pathetic truth is you are the denier not me.

I think it's pretty dumb that you still believe even though 100% of the IPCC computer models they used has been shown to be totally inaccurate. You're ability to have such blind faith in that load of crap is truly astounding as well as sadly pathetic.

UN Chief Global Warming Scientist Says Communism Is Best To Fight Global Warming Uh, yeah, right. So if we take away peoples freedoms and liberties, we can fight the non-existent global warming problem. After all, the riff-raff and peasants should have no say in the government and its agendas.

The video speaks for itself about this gun-grabber elitist who "thinks" he knows what it right or wrong for the rest of us. Perhaps before introducing legislation, you should actually know about what you're trying to legislate. http://youtu.be/xI6eE_FAwao

Perhaps they need to put succession on the ballot then...

Presidential, Gubernatorial, Senate and House races have much, much higher turnouts. Constitutional election turnout depends on what's on the ballot but most are in the range of 5-12%.

Message to Mr. Clueless: 8% is normal turnout for a Texas constitutional election. You need to stop talking about shit in which know absolutely NOTHING.

That's why, for the most part, I've stopped participating in these threads. But occasionally I jump in.

I have no clue what you're trying to say here. It's just more of your senseless blathering to me.

You say that voter ID suppresses voting but it didn't. I'm NOT surprised you ignore that.

One more thing: During the first election in which the law was in force, Texas voter turnout was DOUBLE what it was during the previous election in the cycle. Hidalgo County, which is 90% Hispanic, saw a 400% increase in voter turnout. Sorry, LH you are full of SHIT.

There are lots of people in those outlying counties who have a driver's license. I just can't imagine how they did that since it's so impossible (according to your narrative). When I turned 16, I had go to the next county to get my license. I don't recall it being that much of a problem. Sorry, LH but this a bullshit argument. As for the student IDs, they don't go through the same processes as government issued ID's to prevent forgery.

I'm sure they won't let facts get in the way of their narrative...

Yes, you are that stupid. It's not registration. Without an ID to prove identity, you can vote in place of any registered voter. For instance, the recently deceased or the infirmed elderly. It is possible for someone to forge an ID so nothing is foolproof. However it will weed out most of those voting multiple times.

Are you really that stupid? They vote once under their REAL name and again under another assumed name or names as described. Voter fraud isn't restricted to someone voting twice under their same name.

The New York City Department of Investigations says you're wrong

I see no reason we can't enact "common sense" measures to ensure the integrity of the ballot process. Getting a voter ID only takes a little of a person's time. In something this important, that's not too much to ask.

All it requires is someone to get off their ass and get one.

You haven't shown me shit! Just your twisted spin on reality based on liberal talking points.

Bullshit. If you want to drive you have to get a photo ID plus you have to pay for it. You have to provide photo ID to get on an airplane. It shouldn't be any different to vote. Texas is issuing FREE voter ID cards. All you have to do is prove residency and citizenship.

Coolness!

It's all about how prepared you want to be to deal with personal risk. I'm a firm believer in the "I'd rather have it and not need it than need it and not have it" philosophy. I apply that thought process to many aspects of my life, not just firearm ownership. I'm not going to walk through life armed only with hope and faith in my fellow man.
