Quote(s) for the day...

...from Christopher Monckton at the Heartland Conference...
...Where are they all today, those bed-wetting moaning Minnies of the Apocalyptic Traffic-Light Tendency–those Greens too yellow to admit they’re really Reds?The main message of this conference to the bed-wetters is this. Stop telling lies. You are fooling fewer and fewer of us. However many lies are uttered, the scientific truth remains unalterable.The Forces of Darkness, with their “global warming” chimera, came perilously close to ending the Age of Enlightenment and Reason. They almost ushered in a new Dark Age. Yet they have failed. Why? They have failed because you, here, have had the courage to face them down, to confront their falsehoods, and to nail their lies...
and from UK Labour MP Tom Harris...
who observes: ‘Politicians are not expected to talk about moral absolutes. Raising questions about other people’s choices, after all, could offend someone and nothing is less acceptable these days than causing someone offence....
...Cranmer goes on to say...Mr Harris has confronted his Labour critics head on, asking: ‘What kind of society have we created when the above paragraph will inevitably be seen by some as offensive, narrow-minded and intolerable? As for the accusation of giving comfort to the “Right-wing”, when did it become “Left-wing” to tolerate such a colossal waste of lives? Why is it “Left-wing” to allow millions of people to remain on benefits instead of working? When did “Labour” stop meaning “work” and start to mean “benefits”?..more from Cranmer here...
