A National Debate Based on False Premises

Analysts frequently opine that America’s problems appear intractable, that the nation is too divided to agree on common approaches.

A significant part of the problem is that, quite bluntly, much of the national debate is based on faulty information and premises that simply are not accurate.  Here’s a sampling:

Human-made global warming:  By far, the belief that human caused global warming is “undisputed by science” is the most propagated myth of our time.  President Obama has stated this on numerous occasions. Ex-politicians such as former Vice President Al Gore have literally made millions on this this premise.  The problem is, it is simply not scientifically accurate. Recently, 31,000 scientists signed a petition  objecting to this unproven belief.  Research clearly disputing the concept has been censored or hidden. And the facts don’t support it.

This is getting very much popular among them; still many of them are suspicious about the execution and results of this supplement is regencygrandenursing.com cialis prescription not permanent.

Increased trade with China: Both Democrats and Republicans have advocated for increased trade with China in the belief that this will discourage Beijing from engaging in hostile actions.  There is no evidence that this theory has worked, and it is not backed by historical precedent. (Rome  and Carthage, Britain and Germany, are two examples.) China’s vast and rapid military buildup is clearly geared towards confronting the United States, and some of the expertise behind it has been acquired through trade with or espionage within the United States. Even as trade has increased, China has acted increasingly belligerent towards both its neighbors and the U.S.

The Cold War: President Obama, along with Secretary of State Clinton, diligently advocated a “Reset” in relations with Russia based on the belief that the last vestiges of the Cold War were gone. A lop-sided arms treaty was agreed to. American tanks were withdrawn from Europe. U.S. military spending was reduced. In response, Russia sharply escalated its military budget, returned to cold war bases in various parts of the world, re-established threatening anti-American relations in Latin America, invaded Ukraine, and engaged in joint war games with China. Although there has been some awakening to the errors behind the “Reset” thinking elsewhere, the White House and its firmest supporters continue to adhere to a foreign policy unsupported by the facts.
