That’s not what he is saying. The graphs measure when people interpret the data correctly. It’s not about some objective truth about fracking, climate change or gun control. It’s just about if the data presented is interpreted correctly.
If there’s a battle at the Capital in DC, you’ll want to avoid the botanical gardens and the American Indian History Museum, but the US History and African American History museums should be out of gunshot range.
Also, Jose Andres owns like 5 restaurants in Chinatown, and he seems to handle crisis situations relatively well… My plan is to hunker down in Jaleo until we drain their stockpiles of Sangria and jamon iberico.
As the GOP brings in more kooky types this kind of fusing environmental and anti immigration arguments is going to get more traction
But the movement seemed to be experimenting: What would happen if you took Tanton’s warnings about population and the climate and merged them with people’s fears of outsiders and paranoia about the limits of resources? What would happen if you truly turned the immigration debate into an environmental debate?
In February 2010, as Republicans gathered for the prestigious annual Conservative Political Action Conference, or CPAC, at the Marriott Wardman Park Hotel in Washington, D.C., the Center for Immigration Studies’ longtime executive director, Mark Krikorian, sat on a panel about immigration reform in front of a packed audience, along with Robert Rector from the Heritage Foundation and Steve King, the lightning-rod congressman from Iowa. Near the end of the session someone in the audience asked why the center was publishing reports about climate change if it was a hoax?
Krikorian, who declined to be interviewed for this story, offered the group a simple yet telling answer: The climate issue was a potent opportunity. He saw it as a wedge that could scare — and divide — the American left on immigration. The suggestion was that by doing so the Center for Immigration Studies would give liberals reason to support hard-line immigration controls and perhaps also offer conservatives an avenue to fold global warming into their narratives of a country under assault.
It’s stuff like this that makes me believe in the long-run progressive/liberal/leftist (whatever you want to call them) views will never persist as long as these people and other conservative institutions like them have essentially unlimited funding. No one on the left can compete with this type of cynicism when it’s coupled with funding and a massive media apparatus.
We’ve been mostly winning for 250 years. I don’t expect that to stop, but setbacks can arise, sometimes for decades. We write the books and, ultimately, we write the history.
Does anyone know what actually happened with this Maccabi Tel Aviv in Amsterdam situation? Ive read conflicting things and dont care enough to try to figure it out.
