The Magical Disappearing Issues
Ever notice that if liberals turn out to be wrong about something, instead of them fessing up to it, the issue simply disappears?
For instance, what’s the major issue of the current Presidential campaign? Using attention as the barometer, it’s either Obama’s inexperience/cult of personality/flip-flops, or energy.
Remember when Iraq was the big issue? In an April 2007 Democratic debate, Brian William’s first question was to Hillary Clinton, and it was about Iraq (Harry Reid had apparently recently said the war was lost).
Just last month, Iraq saw the lowest U.S. casualties since the war started. If a debate is held today, do you think the war is one of the first three questions?
What about stem cells? I remember them being an active debate back in 2000, when it was Bush v. Gore. Back then, adult stem cells were considered useless, and puritan conservatives were supposedly against the science somehow. What happened there? Adult stem cells have proven to have viability. I’d be surprised to see stem cells even mentioned in a Presidential debate these days.
Remember AIDS? It was politically incorrect to call it a “gay” disease. But it turned out that the threat of AIDS for straights outside of Africa wasn’t as big as originally thought. After decades of public awareness campaigns, no one made a peep when this news was made.
It just leads me to wonder what other scientifically debatable ideas liberals have that won’t live up to the hype.
Cough! Global warming! Cough!
