It must be the recent heat wave. Maybe Libs are hypersensitive to the heat. I don’t know how else to account for two totally absurd, off-the-wall moral equivalences that popped up on my radar screen this weekend.
Not that I’m complaining; these two new ones are in mint condition, and are great additions to my ever-growing collection of idiot-Lib-illogical-moral-equivalence pronouncements.
The first one is from Jimmah, our 2nd most incompetent POTUS.
And, apparently, also the dumbest. Ever.
(But, what else can we expect from someone who wrote a book entitled: “Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid”)
via The Washington Times: Jimmy Carter compares Catholic Church to Islam on women’s rights
Former U.S. President Jimmy Carter says religious leaders, including those in Christianity and Islam, share the blame for mistreatment of women across the world.
The human rights activist said Friday religious authorities perpetuate misguided doctrines of male superiority, from the Catholic Church forbidding women from becoming priests to some African cultures mutilating the genitals of young girls….
The 39th president is hosting representatives from 15 countries at The Carter Center, the human rights organization he launched in 1982 after leaving the White House….
Nations represented at the Carter conference include Afghanistan, Botswana, Egypt, Iraq, Malaysia, Nigeria, Senegal and the Sudan. Carter mentioned widespread oppression in many of nations where iterations of Islam dominate, but also had criticism for the developed Western world where Christianity is the strongest cultural influence….
He noted that women in Saudi Arabia can’t drive or vote. Girls in some cultures are forced to marry before they are 10 years old and women in the United States, he said, are paid about 70 percent of what men earn for the same work….
Jimmy Carter studied nuclear physics in graduate school.
Well, I guess education can’t “fix stupid.”
Speaking of education, here is the other “winner” of a moral equivalence, from a university professor.
via The Washington Times: Ariz. professor compares climate change to slavery
A geoscience professor and co-director of the Institute of the Environment at the University of Arizona stated Wednesday that President Abraham Lincoln would have taken action to stop climate change, since it’s the “moral issue of our time.”
“Reading more about Lincoln now – his approach to slavery makes me sure he would move on stop CC because it is moral issue of our time,” Jonathan Overpeck, or “Peck” as he prefers to be called, tweeted yesterday afternoon….
According to his bio, Mr. Peck has published more than 160 papers in climate and the environmental sciences and served as a coordinating lead author for the Nobel Prize-winning UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Fourth Assessment (2007).
There seems to be no end in sight this week from the heat wave.
Or from Leftist lunacy.
My first thought was wondering if Jimmy Carter perhaps has a ghost writer. I wondered if he really aligned the ordination of women in the Catholic Church & the physical treatment of women in some cultures as being in the same conversation? So,
I went to YouTube to see if he is in fact still out there verbalizing his “Wisdom”…
Now I know, Jimmy Carter is still out there. Paula Deen trusts his advice…. Our lives will never be boring in this country. There will always be other view points that will cause us to stop, ponder, & work on our communication of clarifying our
positions. Let us pray that we will always retain the 1st Amendment. Let us always strive to communicate in the thought provoking way “Our Shifra” does so eloquently!
Limited government was intended to protect us from the aforementioned lunatics. Sadly, these clowns are dangerous in our post-constitutional era.
I apologize for using the term “clown”. My deepest and sincerest apologies to clowns everywhere who bring joy and laughter to children around the world.
LOL!
Now that you mention it…Pogo the Clown was one of the nation’s most notorious serial killers. He was also a prominent Democrat activist; there’s a famous picture of him being thanked by then-First-Lady Rosalynn Carter. The badge on his jacket is an official Secret Service validation that this is a man to be trusted. Another grim reminder of what happens when you mix clowns and Democrats.
Another good one here, Shifra. If I’m not mistaken, aren’t all these countries Muslim? Carter has to make a comparison where there is no comparison. He probably thought he would get some shoes thrown his way if he only spoke the truth about how women are treated in these countries. They can’t be the only ones who look bad, Christianity is bad too. As a Christian woman, I’m offended by him and his statement. OBummer is *definitely* the worst Pres, but Jimmah is *most definitely* the dumbest. Wow.
Did Mr. Peck not get the memo that the former “global warming”, current “climate change” numbers were cooked, made up, they lied? Not one phone call was made while he wrote his 160 papers to tell him forget about it. Sad.
Now now Kitten, no fair picking apart the “peanut farmer’s” logic… That man makes Georgians cringe. Makes me sometimes neglect to tell people I was born there.
I am sure Mr. Peck knows quite well that the numbers were cooked, being part of the 4th assessment. Also, he was one of the “masterminds” behind minimizing the Medieval Warming Period, which was about 500yrs of temperatures higher than those today and so much less CO2 emission as to kill ACC (Anthropogenic Climate Change).
Damn the moonbats.
For an appropriate response to a moonbat, I suggest looking for the song Rainbow Warrior by Tyr, then look at why the song was written and who for.
Cern, do enlighten me. As this group is not from America, I can only surmise the song relates to the fraud that is climate change and its effect on the environment?
Actually, it was written as a rebuttal to “Captain” Paul Watson trying to tell the people of the Faroe Islands that they were backwards barbaric savages because they harvest Pilot whales every year as they migrate through the area of the Faroes. The Faroes are incredibly limited as to land area and they cannot support herds of animals and farms large enough to support the human population. So, literally, for centuries they have harvested Pilot whales to supplement their food supplies. The islands are balanced as to resources and it is far cheaper for them to hunt the Pilot whales than it is for them to attempt to import foodstuffs. Of course the Anti-Whaling/Vegan/Animal Rights nuts think they’re the worst people on the planet. Tyr (pronounced Too-eer) are from the Faroes and decided to ask the “Captain” why he felt it was his place to tell their people how they should live. Thus “Rainbow Warrior”. The “Captain” being the “Rusty Old Man” in the lyrics.
I Love these guys. At times their lyrics can be a bit rough edged toward Christianity, but they are of that Norse vein, still rankling at the forced conversion of the Scandinavians these many centuries later. Their general music tends to be melodic metal celebrating Norse myth and folk songs from the days of the Viking raiders, through the Norse traders. Sadly a lot of people fail to make the distinction between the ancient Norse culture and the Nazis/Fascists who stole symbols from the Norse culture and many others for their own twisted ends.
Cern, you are a veritable “hoard” of information. 🙂
