A major liberal falsehood of the mid-20th century was that intelligent life in outer space must exist, and that America should spend billions looking for it. This falsehood had political overtones in favor of nuclear disarmament, globalism, environmentalism, government spending and atheism. Political and Atheist leaders who were strong advocates that intelligent life must exist in outer space were:
Jimmy Carter

And can someone tell me what peak oil is?
Of course, there can't be life in other planets, but it's not that bad to look for other stars or invest billions in NASA programs.............and talking about Population boom, and particularly Global warming(global cooling doesn't exist.....yet)and peak oil, haven't you notice that the weather is.......a little anarchic, that gas prices are..........well, I stop because I'm going to laugh. I'm not surprised that people think this site is a parody. Last time I saw an encyclopedia, it was more more neutral.
Yes, that's right boys and girls, the oil supply is infinite! Only Satan would expect you to believe otherwise. And spawn all you want--there will always be plenty of room and clean air and water and food for everybody.
It's more sensible to believe in the possibility of intelligent life elsewhere in this colossal and varied universe, which has already demonstrated itself to be capable of supporting us, than in some deity outside the universe, which has not been demonstrated to be capable of existing.
Yes! Adolf Hitler was obviously a liberalist sky-watching tree-hugging atheist who tried his darndest to eliminate nuclear weapons, unite the world under one market and have sex with martians.
@Not Me - Uncyclopedia is the parody, but I asked Yahweh why the instruction not to vote for those entries and got this answer:
A major liberal falsehood of the mid-20th century was that intelligent life in outer space must exist, and that America should spend billions looking for it. conservatives out there protesting the WTO and interrupting G7 conferences? Do they think liberals are trying to cut trade barriers so they can outsource jobs to Malaysia and Brazil?
Hitler = NOT an atheist. Atheists don't have christian symbols above there's or have "God with us" on the belt buckle of their army. Or a cross on their hats.image

Jimmy Carter = NOT an atheist, he's an evangelical xtian
Link
Former President Jimmy Carter, America's first evangelical Christian president, still teaches Sunday school at his Baptist church in Plains, Georgia
Yeah...real atheists teach Sunday school.
Carl Sagan = Atheist, but NOT a political leader so what does that mean? Did Carl Sagan do anything bad in his life? Moron! This guy can't possibly be real...it's too stupid.
Matt:
Praetyre:
Conservapedia, for folks that think WingNutDaily, Free Republic, D. James Kenndy, Jack Van Imp Presents and the Resistance Manifesto are a bunch of left wing twinkes.
OK, you found a way to link Carter with Hitler. Bravo! Too bad it's completely ridiculous. totaly inconsequential criteria!
Aliens are part of the evil liberal conspiracy? What have you been smoking??Jimmy Carter: Not an atheist.
Hitler: Not an atheist, not a liberal.
In fact, he was one of your guys!
Population Bomb: Huh? If you mean overpopulation, this is not a falsehood. Otherwise, you're crackers.
Evolution: not a falsehood, as science well shows.
Global Warming: not a falsehood, sez science.
Global Cooling: part of Global Warming.
Peak Oil: I'm not entirely sure what you mean here.
Jimmy Carter is a moderate Christian, well, a reasonable one, in his conservatism. They can apply the no true Scotchman fallacy with no problem. Concerning Hitler, well, his obsession with the occult puts him in the same level as an atheist(and his murdering obssesion to the above no true Scotchman stuff). Concerning Sagan...........he was a genius. Again, is this guy submitting in an "encyclopedia"?, What credentials!!!!!
"A major liberal falsehood of the mid-20th century was that intelligent life in outer space must exist, and that America should spend billions looking for it."
As far as I am aware, NASA's remit does NOT cover the search for extraterrestrial intelligence. The only 'agency' carrying out this search is SETI, which is primarily privately funded.
1). Except government spending and globalism (specifically the destruction of cultures by other cultures), all those sound good.
2) Godwin's Rule.
3) Every one of things is true except global cooling. If not, it would disprove exponential population growth, the scientific method, and the fact that the Earth has finite dimensions and finite resources.
For this guy, "liberal" means simply: stuff I don't like/don't agree with/can't understand. His second sentence makes no grammatical sense (how can a falsehood have overtones in favor of anything?) and lumps together ideologies, policies and facts, none of them defined. Globalism exists. Governments spend money (on, among other things, nuclear weapons - which our friend seems to approve of). What is he getting at?
Evolution is a fact. Global warming is a fact, the interesting debate being about how far human beings have caused it, whether it's too late to halt its progress, and how much this matters. Peak oil is a proposition which some liberals deny and many conservatives accept. Anxieties about human population growth go back decades and - again - straddle the liberal/conservative chasm. Global cooling is a conjecture which needs more work. Our friend needs to get himself an education.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
