We're stepping out into dangerous waters once critics of Government Science are being put in jail.

I think someone that makes millions of Climate Change crap and wants it to be dictated as ABSOLUTE fact is the one that should be in jail.

RE: Al Gore says that Climate Change skeptics should be "Punished"
Vox Chief Ezra Klein: “Al Gore Should Run For President” To Combat “Existential Threat” Of Climate Change…
So Gore should be Pantsuits backup...oh boy.
Quote:Many Democrats would like to see a first-tier figure challenge Hillary Clinton for the party’s presidential nomination. Vox editor-in-chief Ezra Klein agrees, but his choice isn’t Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders, or Martin O’Malley. On Monday, Klein sent up a trial balloon emblazoned with the name of Al Gore.
As Klein sees it, reducing the “existential threat” of climate change should be the main theme of a Gore candidacy, though he admitted that the issue might end up costing Gore votes. That said, it’s a risk that could pay off big if Gore’s elected, since “climate change is an issue where the president has real unilateral authority.”
In any event, funding the campaign wouldn’t seem problematic. Klein noted that Gore himself now is “fabulously wealthy — richer, even, than Mitt Romney” and added, given super-rich environmentalists’ esteem for the star of An Inconvenient Truth, that “it’s easy to imagine, say, billionaire Tom Steyer gathering some friends and putting some massive superPAC money behind Gore.”
From Klein’s piece (bolding added):
Democrats need a debate about where their party goes next. Obamacare’s passage marked the rough completion of the social safety net that liberals began constructing during Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s presidency. The end of the Iraq War drained Democrats of their foreign policy fervor. The rapid acceptance of gay marriage has robbed them of the next civil rights fight…

Someone should tell Gore and Obama that ISIS doesn't believe in climate change. We'd have ISIS wiped off the face of the earth in no time.

Gore is smart. If all the deniers would just go away he'd make more money.

I don't think being put in jail is what Gore means by being "punished." Although, on the other hand, maybe it is. The ambiguity of such statements is a classic example of how the Overlords try to keep the rabble in line.

Ezra Klein is giving voice to the inner-id of a lot of liberals. For all their blather about "imperial presidency" and "checks and balances", what the Kleins of the world really want is for the proverbial Strong Man to step forward and take charge, regardless of what Congress or the voters have to say about it.

I think people should be allowed to put their money where their mouth is, so the prospect of Steyer/Gore/etc. bankrolling a campaign is not disturbing to me. But let's remember Klein's comment the next time you hear liberals whine about "the rich" trying to "buy" an election. As long as it's rich liberals who are doing the buying, they aren't bothered by it at all.

It's not.
It's voicing that skepticism that will get you clinked.
