re: #199 dogg

Charles, you have left the “right”, why were you there?

Any thinking person does not view themselves part of the right or left.
Clear analysis of issues requires not having an ideological starting point.

I admit because of life experiences and reading of history I am conservative and skeptical of much of current liberal thought.
However I would find it intellectually dishonest to put myself on the right or left.

This is why I am skeptical of the current LGF climate debate. Any questions or statements disputing the lefts climate change thesis are trashed as silly.

Please keep LGF independent thinking.
Invite debate and limit closed mindedness.

I’m not quite sure how you can criticize Charles while in the exact same message showing how “intellectually dishonest” you with the snarky little comment about “the lefts climate change thesis”. If you WERE intellectually honest you’d address the specific questions and/or statements which you think were/are valid and yet trashed.

I have always found Charles willing to listen, research and review just about anything. I have also found that he does not suffer fools lightly, especially ones who continue to rehash previously researched and rejected arguments. Which describes about 95pct of the current climate change denier babble.

If you want to get it on and debate then put your money on the table and get in the mix. Man up.
