There's actually people who want to parse the headline when what the C.I.C. told the cadets was hysterically exaggerated. Not border control. Not keeping terrorists off our shores or intercepting the MEGAtons of dope coming in by sea. Go Ctrl-F yourself Oopty Doodle.. Climate mentioned 28 times, about 30% of his address.
Drugs --- mentioned once.
Yes, the grownups are focusing on reality, and that's causing denier meltdowns. FOX has been leading the mass bedwetting over ISIS for a while, and WUWT has officially jumped on to that very drippy bandwagon. It will soon be a mandated state-of-mind for all conservatives.
The phrase for it is "ooga-booga tactics". It's nearly impossible to take someone seriously if they fall for ooga-booga. Or if someone declares with a straight face that MEGAtons of drugs are arriving by sea, for that matter. That's taking innumeracy to new heights.
I don't think ooga-booga is a viable strategy in the long run, for conservatism or denialism. Can they really maintain that level of terror until the election?
I'm glad to have a CIC who calmly focuses on actual threats instead of ooga-boogaing, and who works on preventing problems before they happen. And the military certainly agrees, as they take global warming very seriously. I guess the military is now part of the socialist plot.
