“If the Facts Don't Fit the Theory, Change the Facts”


By Chuck Lehmann —— Bio and Archives--May 4, 2019



If the Facts Don't Fit the Theory, Change the FactsThose prescient words, spoken by Albert Einstein, seem to have relevance today, especially if you listen to the candidates for the Democrat nomination for president.

In order to generate votes and to appeal to the very vocal far-left base of the Democrat Party, the Democrat candidates are spouting nonsense as facts .  Most all are championing many of the economic theories and principles of Socialism.
.
How could a substantial number of our population fall for this “snake oil”?

An example of what these candidates are proposing include the following: latching onto the “New Green Deal”; Medicare for all; removal of all walls and fences at the U.S. border; abolishing the Electoral College; free college tuition and mass student debt forgiveness; letting imprisoned convicts vote; and, in addition, letting 16 year olds vote.  It has been estimated that if all these cockamamie proposals are enacted, we would have a national debt of around $94 trillion.  Outrageous !

They have been. Adjusting temperatures and proclaiming global warming was one such example, and there are others.

And in just 12 years from my mark, if we don't tax Americans to death and make them live in the equivalent of a third world sh*thole, the world will end...(so have a blast while you last! )

I really like how we have gone from "Stardust, million year-old carbon" to wanting to be "carbon free". Fine. If all the Communists/Leftists/Liberals/Socialists/ecowhackos and environazis just quit exhaling, that would significantly reduce the human contribution of CO2 to the atmosphere. Let them lead by example.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
