THE SKEPTIC ARENA


This web site is dedicated to the eradication of irrational thinking.
Rationalists are those, whose thinking is strictly guided by the laws of logic.
Rationalists only accept as true, that which has been proven to be true,
through the application of the scientific method.

The "Big Boys" have no intention of fighting global warming.

But they do put on a "show" pretending to fight it

The Oligarchs are driving humanity to the edge of the cliffs ... all for profits.
And in 10,000 years, humanity has never figured out how to overthrow the 1%.

I only have one web site that I subscribe to: news@doseofdemocracy.com
Here is one example of why I like these folks so much ...

Headline

"New York officials considering making a 'special hotline' for threats against CEOs"

Editorial Comment (below the headline)

"It really is a little too on the nose that
we can have 323 school shootings in one year and zero action
but ONE corporate executive gets shot and all of a sudden
elected officials are springing into action to keep the CEOs safe."

The comment above was referencing this article

For years I have included the organization "Faithful America" on my About Page.
Today they have justified my trust in them
by standing up to fake, phony-ass conservative Christians
who have been working feverishly to turn America into a Christian theocracy.

Faithful America represents the true "face of Christ" in America

I am proud of them.
To be clear, all my invective is directed towards conservative Christians
and is not intended to denigrate true Christians like Faithful America.

Republicans work for "The Big Boys" and the Big Boys only.
Democrats are the only hope the masses have.
But 21st century Republicans have forced Democrats toward the right.
Progressives like Alexandria Cortez are few and are viciously attacked.
To survive, modern Democrats must sacrifice and compromise.
That explains why, in a close election, Kamala Harris is forced to support ...

fracking

Sad, but that's situation we find ourselves in.
Meanwhile, while The Big Boys are enriching themselves,
the planet continues to ... heat up.
