    Is President Obama a Far Leftie?....Or something else?

    regarding Gitmo, Obama sincerely wants it closed but was stunted by the congress. But he has not sent one new person there, and has worked to get those cleared of terrorism sent to other countries. Guantanamo Bay detention camp - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    Fact-Free Liberals

    Facts are not mine to give away. Here's a chart to go along, showing how Obama is as much or more "conservative" as every modern president except Bush 43:

    Obama's Economy in 17 Charts

    I don't think cons are "low information voters", but rather "high misinformation voters". I would imagine it's very easy to live in the 24/7 bubble of am radio, Fox, dozens of right-wing websites and think tanks, and the religious right movement.

    A Progressive Case for Gun Rights

    I think the vast majority of Americans, both lib and conservative, are for gun rights. The serious debates are over types, sales, and licenses. And the "revolution" argument doesn't hold water. No amount of small arms is gonna beat tanks, apache helis, and F-35s. Luckily, our military is made...

    Evidence for the Bible / God [W536; 634]

    Evidence of the bible - yes, men created it. I have one on my bookshelf. Evidence of a god - none except mans feelings. Evidence of a creator - maybe, but it begs the even more fantastic question, who created the creator? And why would a creator demand I spend my whole life worshipping it...

    The definitive post on why global warming is not 'paused' and is not 'cooling'.

    I'm sure it's exasperating for scientists who see their words and work cherry-picked for denier fodder. Here's an article and nasa climatologist explaining the slowdown, not stoppage, in warming: Global Warming 'Pause' Isn't What Climate Change Skeptics Say It Is - weather.com Goddard...

    Yes I've seen the childish "benefit" argument posted earlier, but declined to comment in order not to embarrass. Certain amounts of things like sunshine, oxygen, and of course Co2 can be good, other amounts can be deadly. Let's move past 3rd grade please. Again, it just shows how you only want...

    You seem to be willing to accept some science, but not all of it. As much or as little Co2 you want to attribute to man, the levels were at 280-300 300 ppm generally for the last 20 million years. Now we're at 400 ppm and climbing fast, so the Earth is not absorbing it. We can't change what...

    We can control our actions that affect our environment. Are you arguing that isn't possible to destroy our environment, or just on a global scale?

    So, the scientists of today, with satellites and computers, monitoring the climate in real time, have it all wrong. got it. Again, ...Why gamble that all the world's scientists are wrong?

    Indeed, and as deep into space as we can see, this is the only liveable planet around. Why not try and keep it that way? ...Why gamble that all the world's scientists are wrong?

    Wait, how do you know that? Why do you trust what scientists say happened millions of years ago, but not what they say is happening now?
