Our wheezy ol’ President, addled Uncle Joe Biden, really hit the nail on the head when he lashed out at Texas for their “Neanderthal thinking.” They were opening up too early, dropping mask mandates and crowd restrictions and so forth in their mad rush to get back to normal. Those darn Texas Luddites just weren’t following the science.
Except that they were. It’s Biden and vast numbers of the left, assembled conveniently as voting blocs by the DNC and treated as chattel by the government, who don’t follow the science. Instead they have a pronounced tendency to make up science, then cram it down everyone’s throats to achieve one nefarious end or another under the guise of “saving the planet,” for example, or “defeating the virus.”
Nothing exemplifies this better than ethanol laced gasoline. For years and years, we Americans have had to put up with “whiskey gas” as it’s called derisively by those who think about it. Whiskey gas is the kind with 10% of ethanol made primarily from corn. The idea was sold by making people believe that replacing a “fossil fuel” with something organic was better for the environment. Now, unless you hunt carefully for a station that sells pure gas, whiskey gas has to be the tiger you put in your tank because the federal government subsidizes stations that sell it.
The problem is, whiskey gas is actually worse for the environment. It reduces miles per gallon by burning hotter and providing less power. Getting it to the refinery is totally by truck because it can’t be centralized in pipelines like oil. All those trucks burn a huge amount of fuel getting it there. And then there’s all the fuel and other resources like pesticides and fertilizers used in producing the corn. So the science says, whiskey gas is a loser. Even Al Gore has admitted it.
But the farmers – or more accurately, the big agricultural corporations – in Iowa and Kentucky and such states love it. And it just so happens that anybody wanting to be president had better win the Iowa primary. So the winners in Iowa always endorse continuing ethanol mandates and even upping the mix to 15%. That’s following the science, all right: the science that money buys votes.
What is not science is mask and vaccine mandates. Masks provide zero protection from viruses in the world at large. There is not one legitimate scientific study that says they do. Thank God someone at the CDC finally had the cojones to force the issue and get them to drop the “guidance.” The guidance was no science at all, but pure politics.
So why are kids still forced to wear masks in schools? Why is California hanging on to its ridiculous restrictions of personal freedom through June? Why are the vaccines – a Godsend for the elderly and sickly, but increasingly being shown to have serious problems for the rest of us; just ask Eric Clapton – being forced on teenagers, for God’s sake? (Wanna go to college? Better get your vaccinations!)
The answer is, such politics is not science. It is the Flat Earth Society of Leftists at work. It’s the new religion. Ironically but not surprisingly, it is not the Texans and the Trumpsters who are Neanderthals, but the leftists who are the the very thing they love to accuse the right of being – Flat-Earthers.
The freer states – Texas, Florida, Tennessee – are the ones that are prospering the most. Freedom leads to prosperity. That, indeed, is proven science. It is the story of America, at least up until now.
