Well, it's very late and I have to sleep.

you all have fun.

The libs will get all ticked off and start demanding the thread be locked / removed and me be banned or something again.

Although, it is ok for them to post endless diatribes about people on the right being racist, prejudiced, ignorant, ad nauseum.

I guess we'll see.

But you put yourself in the group. And criticized me for lumping you in said specific group.
I asked you for facts. I will continue to criticize you for avoiding those facts.

LOL!!!! You jumped right in, both feet... Your first comment was:
I admit, the water was fine.

No, I very specifically qualified EXACTLY who I was talking about. But you missed that and claimed it was about you. Right here:
True. Yet you can't prove it.

Provide evidence that 'the same liberals who insist that a few instances of perverse or unusual weather means it's "proof" that global warming is destroying the planet...'

And they 'insist that when 90% of everyone experience dramatically increased health insurance rates it isn't evidence that Obamacare is bad.'



If you could, you would.

It is late. Your generalization that 'the libs' will want this thread locked, removed, or you personally banned, is well noted.

Mine increased by an average of 2.8% per year before ObamaCare, about the same rate as inflation.

Why do you believe a handful of climate cranks, talk radio hosts and bought-and-paid-for shills of the fossil fuel industry instead of every reputable scientist on the planet?
The overwhelming amount of scientists that put out that drivel have massaged their figures to get the result desired.

East Anglia emails mean anything to you?

These "scientists" have a financial interest in publishing conclusions that will encourage more funding to come their way.

Not sure where the OP gets the 90% saw dramatic hikes, because I'm not seeing it when I talk to people. Mine went up by $20, so i don't see it on my bills either.
