Really? Climate change? Here are some real threats

When a sharp knife slices across your throat or is plunged into your heart or that of a loved one... is climate change danger what comes to your mind as an existential threat?

When the airplane you and your loved ones are on disintegrates into fragments and plunges all of you to a horrible death after a terrorist bomb explodes... is welcoming all refugees, immigrants, legal and illegal, what comes to mind?

When a bright flash and a mushroom cloud from a North Korean or Iranian nuclear bomb vaporizes your city and you and your loved ones... will Russian election influence be what comes to your mind?

When your Internet crashes, your cell phones and landlines go dead and your electricity goes out in an EMP event, all in the dead of a freezing winter and the temperatures in your home plummets while you freeze to death... will CO2 and the Paris Climate Accord be on your mind?

When terrorists enter your children’s school and begin to execute them... will the gun ban (you favored) in school that prevented abiding staff and teachers from saving your child, come to mind as a good idea?

If the answer to any or all of these and many more reasonable questions, is “yes,” then you may be a delusional liberal, and likely a coward, and almost as big a threat to our nation as the terrorists who are at war with us.
