Goreintology - or how I learned to love the Nukes.
If you were not afraid of the army of lawyers that would
descend on you for questioning the faith spawned from L. Ron Hubbards
imagination, you could make a comparison between Scientology and the religion
of the left – Goreintology.
The holy writ of Goreintology is what we could term the
“indoctrin-mentary” known as An Inconvienent Truth. By now the whole world is familiar with
this film and his accompanying books and literature as it is evangelized
globally by an army of faithful.
It is at this point that I should point out that no
reasonable person doubts that something is occuring with the planet and that we
humans could contribute to a greater or lesser degree to what is happening.
Yet what Goreintology prophesizes is global catastrophe, a
“great flood” along the coastal regions, “drought and pestilience” along the
interior, general mayhem will be the rule unless we Believe Right Now.
As many have pointed out this new religion of the left has
great “big tent” appeal, something that can blithely cross into the political
center of America with the sublime stealth of our most modern aircraft,
dropping cluster bombs of fear and panic in its wake.
Yet does Goreintology actually accomplish anything
constructive for the long term improvement of the world and America?
I would argue that what Goreintology does is to polarize the
debate and divert attention, causing practical measures to be sidelined in
favor of slapping ineffective band-aids over the plight of the soon to be
extinct polar bears or the liberal equivilant of building bomb shelters in the
backyard.
The point is that no one would disagree with removing
America from the petroleum teet or otherwise increasing the effacy of our
fossil fuel processes. It is something
that we already persue in a more vigorious fashion than for example,
China.
If you examine historical trends we are overdue for our next
qualitative advance in power production.
America should take a mandate to invent that next great advance, we are
very likely the most capable nation on the planet – no one would argue with the economic boon we would enjoy on top
of removing the Petromonkey from our back.
However that is a forward vision…Goreintology is a religious
reactionary movement that is slowly spreading it’s obstructive tentacles deeper
into the body politic, relying on gloom and doom prophecies that elicit fear
from those who do not educate themselves as to the honest facts.
Goreintology is reminiscent of the radical islam problem,
because in their view there are only the faithful and the heathen and there is
no discussion allowed.
