No dissent form the leftist orthodoxy seems to be tolerated and those who disagree experience quiet discrimination that slowly strangles their ability to work in the industry… Read more here.

Unfortunately the visceral hatred of the “right” by the left is commonplace – and the worrying thing is they seem unaware of how vile they are in the first place.
It’s probably the herd instinct in which the herders feel threatened by the more individualistic conservatives (Republicans) and so spew invective and other vilities to the objects that frighten them out of their comfort zones.
Lefties must really be misanthropes.
“Lefties must really be misanthropes.”
Louis, I’m afraid yor’re right.
It’s like they were just waiting for a crazy proposition like AGW to arrive seeing how they embraced it so quickly and passionately with so little scepticism and scrutiny.
“Where have you been all my life, you perfect recipe for human contempt and ridicule, you!”
Spangles,
a good site to study is the online publication of the book “Keynes at Harvard”, http://www.keynesatharvard.com
It’s worth reading from start to finish, (the book that is) because it explains the origins of the AGW agenda.
It’s a battle between the Fabians, (see online Quadrant magazine) and those of us who prefer freedom and the opportunity to make mistakes.
You have no idea what precautionary bureaucratic bullshit I have to comply with to run mineral exploration operations.
Risk management of the workplace – in my case the “bush”. So what is the appropriate risk management for the situation of a field hand being treed by a belligerent bull in the middle of nowhere? Happens some times 🙂
In terms of the Precautionary principle the company is responsible for ensuring this risk is minimised or eliminated. Which means mustering all the cattle out of our work areas and then, with my luck, being caught for duffing.
The Fabians are in charge of the government bureaucracies and there is not a legal way of stopping it short of civil insurrection.
The Americans seem to thinking along these lines if the articles on American Thinker are an indication.
But seriously, this lefty misanthropism is widespread. My late father, a devout socialist, regarded humanity as a cancer, (and he was a physician!). I escaped the brainwashing from being sent to boarding school for 3 years – wise woman my mother, but she too is cut from the same cloth, but accepted that maybe her firstborn might have a point.
I’ve often raised it with John Ray whether leftists vs others is a brain hemisphere phenomenon – left side versus right side brains. His response was that there was no data, etc.
Anyway, have a Winfield 🙂 (Never smoked them but enjoyed full strength B&H’s for a decade :-))
What blacklist? How do I get one? Why haven’t they sent me a copy. Maybe it just doesn’t exist and the title for this topic is a lie?
I found this article recently:
http://www.physics.nyu.edu/faculty/sokal/nagel.html
It’s about the pathologic corruption of science for political effect (c 1998)
Anyway its an eye opening read, funny and scary.

“What blacklist?”
Look under youe keyboard Will where you put it so you couldn’t see it while writing this drivel.

Unfortunately the post modernists have gained control of our universities – something I just started noticing with the views of some young geologists concerning the AGW issue. Seems the indoctrination is pervasive. Hopefully getting out and about in the real world might jolt some out of the PM mindset, but somehow I doubt it.
Sokal’s trick was excellent and another similar trick was played recently when a publish your own paper was also fooled with a false paper – so much for peer review, especially when it confirms their own bias.
“Look under youe keyboard Will where you put it so you couldn’t see it while writing this drivel.”
In other words, you admit there is no blacklist.
