The laughter and ridicule aimed at the latest religious doomsday prophet made me sick. It's not that he wasn't a knave and a fool. But at least he accomplished his knavery the old-fashioned way: by talking saps and suckers out of their own money.
There is no accountability and ridicule for the doomsday prophets of the secular Left. Most of them have made lucrative careers based on the taxpayers' money. The most spectacular example is Al Gore and the Global Warming scam.
I know nothing about Dennis Prager as a pundit. But I loved his article this morning on realClearPolitics.com .
Look at the secular Left's knee-jerk response to the recent tragedies of tornadoes hitting populated areas: Nature is punishing mankind for its Sins. Repent (comply with Kyoto, Cap and Trade, etc.) and ye shall be saved!
As long as superstitions have been around, people have been willing to believe that Thor or Zeus or somebody throws lightning bolts down on them. The secular Left is now selling the same old crap in modern clothes. Is there any pseudo-religion more despicable than one that hides behind a facade of science?

I'm accusing you of what I am guilty of, that is too often agreeing with any source that supports my own opinion.

P.S. I haven't commented lately as I'm busy polishing my credentials as a windshield tourist. We're in a campground tonight that has a good internet connection, so I'm catching up.
I didn't know that realClearPolitics.com was a part of the Forbes empire.
Windshield tourist, eh? Oh dear, does that mean that you'll be starting up a blog soon?
