uruloki’s lair

The latest “Give Me a Break” from John Stossel is once again right on the mark. This time, he addresses the 10 most popularly reported myths. My favorites? Numbers five and up, which basically address the entire liberal agenda of the rich not paying enough taxes, guns being bad, chemical companies killing us, too much garbage being produced by our consumer society, and the catchall “things are so much worse now than they were before.” (No. 1 was only presented during the show, and is not available on the website.)

I was especially glad to see “Myth #3 – Guns are Bad” so cogently and concisely debunked. With more states passing concealed carry laws (Ohio just did), we can long look forward to avoiding Britain’s situation, where thanks to Liberals the only people with guns are the criminals and not even the cops can carry firearms.

In my opinion, the best quote of the piece came from the chemicals piece in regards to the US’s banning of DDT:

“If it’s DDT, it must be awful. And that’s fine if you’re a rich, white environmentalist,” says Amir Attaran, a scientist leading a campaign urging the use of DDT to fight malaria. “It’s not so fine if you’re a poor black kid who’s about to lose his life from malaria.”

A lot of things can be covered by that statement. So many of the Limousine Liberals in this country do not have the intellectual capacity to understand the effect their policies have in the real world. I wish we could institute a stupid tax so that anytime someone espouses a failed idea, such as “Progressive Taxation” and other portions of the Communist Manifesto, they would become subject to an exponential tax. Maybe after the third time, they would figure out that their ideas are neither original nor nor valid.
