Global Warming Propagandists Trivialize Iwo Jima
Time magazine's desperate efforts to breathe new life into the flagging global warming swindle is not winning any friends among the greatest generation. Check out the April 21 cover:
According to Time propagandists, we are to devote a WWII level of intensity toward empowering government bureaucracy and crippling our own economy in the name of the discredited hoax. Patriotism is to be replaced by reverence for the "red, white, and green."
Comments Lt. John Keith Wells, leader of the platoon that raised the flags on Mt. Suribachi:
That global warming is the biggest joke I've ever known. [W]e'll stick a dadgum tree up somebody's rear if they want that and think that's going to cure something.
Iwo Jima vet Donald Mates elaborates:
The second world war we knew was there. There's a big discussion. Some say there is global warming, some say there isn't. And to stick a tree in place of a flag on the Iwo Jima picture is just sacrilegious.
But the damp little weenies who run Time magazine live in their fantasies, and would be unable to comprehend a struggle against an enemy that isn't a fabrication. They got a small taste on 9/11, but quickly blocked that experience out of their minds.
Time aggressively advocates increasing taxes and regulation in the name of the global warming farce — i.e., they want the sort of excessively powerful government that the Marines were fighting at Iwo Jima. For more irony, see Time's 1974 claim that the sky is falling because of global cooling.
Managing editor Richard Stengel comments on the magazine's leftist advocacy journalism:
I have felt that one of the things that's needed in journalism is that you have to have a point of view about things. You can't always just say "on the one hand, on the other" and you decide. People trust us to make decisions. We're experts in what we do.
Three things I'd like to tell Stengel:
- The moonbat fantasists at Time are hardly "experts" at climate science, and even the real experts don't know which way the climate is going, only that it will continue to fluctuate as it always has.
- We little people most decidedly do not trust you pompous liars to make our decisions.
- Show some respect for the vets who, unlike the media establishment and its phony campaigns, deserve it.

Van, thanks for that trip down memory lane. Even though TIME said we were facing a disastrous cooling in 1974, who/what do you think they pointed the finger at?
Man, too, may be somewhat responsible for the cooling trend. The University of Wisconsin's Reid A. Bryson and other climatologists suggest that dust and other particles released into the atmosphere as a result of farming and fuel burning may be blocking more and more sunlight from reaching and heating the surface of the earth.
So burning fuel blocks sunlight causing global cooling.
Cool.

Brilliant counterpunch combo. What ass-hat arrogance, that the self-anointed cultural effete are the "trusted" (by themselves) decision-makers for we great unwashed masses, aimlessly shuffling about, in dire need of direction.
What a pompous jerk...

No we don't. Seen any polls on the people's opinions of journalists?

Hopefully a big ole Marine with an attitude with roll up a few copies and take them to Time Magazine's headquarters and shove em up Managing Editor Richard Stengel's arse!!!! Now THAT would be some entertainment! Next time I go to the doctor's office... I'm collecting all the Time Magazines and taking them out to the dumpster!!! THAT'S where they BELONG!

Does anyone still subscribe to Time? I suppose some dentists and doctors still do for the waiting room. It used to be a good choice many years ago when it was considered to be a fairly objective news magazine. Same with National Geographic, another waiting room staple.
I wouldn't put that stuff out in a waiting room anymore to antagonize all the sane customers. Bad business.

I quit looking at Time when they got into putting Bill Clinton's photo on the cover and of course they have put terrorists on the cover too. They went libtard some time ago.

Sure Stengel, people trust you. Then explain your revenues tanking. Twit.
I would trust Edward R. Murrow to REPORT the news. Stengel and others like him are journalists, scribblers with an agenda. Big difference.
To advance their political cause, Time manipulated a picture of six brave men. Three of whom did not leave Iwo Jima alive. One surviving Marine being Lt. Keith Wells, recipient of the Navy Cross for his actions on Iwo Jima.
Some people wonder all their lives if they've made a difference. The Marines don't have that problem. - Ronald Reagan
And then the heroes of the day began literally to stand up and be counted.
One of the first was Lieutenant Keith Wells of Easy Company's 3rd Platoon. Wells did not tell his men to follow him. He simply got to his feet, waved his gun toward the mountain, and began running. "I just thought it was just pure suicide," he later recalled.
His mute example stirred the troops. Behind him, hundreds of scared boys stood up, leveled their rifles, and advanced against the mountain.

If they were really concerned about the envoirnment, would they still be using paper as their medium?
