Lorrie Goldstein- Liberals are so predictable

"Judge for yourself whether Sowell's four-step process accurately reflects how the Liberals have handled this issue.

Stage 1: The anointed declare "the crisis" in which, Sowell observes, "some situation exists, whose negative aspects the anointed propose to eliminate. Such a situation is routinely characterized as a 'crisis' even though all human situations have negative aspects ..."

Stage 2: "The solution" is proposed in which "policies to end the 'crisis' are advocated by the anointed" who dismiss claims by critics that their proposals won't work or may even make things worse as "absurd and 'simplistic,' if not dishonest."

Stage 3: "The results" reveal "the solution" chosen by the anointed either didn't work, or made things worse.

Stage 4: The anointed give "the response" to their critics, in which they dismiss them for being "simplistic" and for "ignoring the 'complexities' involved as 'many factors' went into determining the outcome."

Now consider how the issue of man-made global warming played out in Canada under the Liberals."
