Unacceptalbe Doctrine
This posture now adopted by Stantis and many of his friends on the Right with respect to the environment is -- to put it as mild as I possibly can -- really fucking funny.
After years of the Right pushing back as hard as they could on the environment -- conflating environmentalism with hippie-dom, tree-fucking, and paganism; arguing against scientists -- you know, those jokers who peddle in facts and figures and all that fancy talk when this here Earth looks fine from where I'm sitting yessiree Bob and in fact it just snowed! Explain THAT all you hippie scientists! -- after all their fight and bluster, the Right must now sit in absolute horror that Environmentalism has hit the mainstream with a bullet.
So what can they do now? What can they do when the insurgent, paradigm-shifting Environmentally-concerned school of thought has finally gone mainstream and they're left looking like the old, doddering, confused, intelligently-designed fools they are?
Why, they simply start posing as the insurgents. WE are the ones who are questioning the mainstream, they say. WE are the ones concerned with TRUTH and FACT, not crazy theories, they say. WE are the ones forward-thinking enough to question "ACCEPTED DOCTRINE."
Well, Scott-n-Fox-n-Friends, I'm calling your bullshit. And I raise you: Irresponsible Frauds.
Comments
We went to war because it was accepted doctrine that Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction and was responsible for the 9/11 hijackings, despite the fact that 15 of the 19 were Saudi, because the Saudis are our friends! That's another bit of accepted doctrine. And that, more than climate change, is the greatest threat to Scottie's big old penis-extension SUV. Because surely, he's an SUV man, right?

Somebody needs to ask Stantis if he thinks the Earth is really 6000 years old, since those are the same folks that were saying the world is flat and the center of the universe.
