::::So Limbaugh and Fox News are the lunatic fringe, but of course you don't have you anything against the conservatives who agree with you. Who would they be, anyway? If I wanted to know what mainstream conservative opinion was on a given issue, I'd check ''The American Spectator'' ("[http://spectator.org/articles/35953/volt-sleeps-fishes Volt sleeps with the fishes]"), ''The Weekly Standard'' ("[http://www.weeklystandard.com/blogs/chevy-volt-still-not-selling_581956.html Chevy Volt: Still Not Selling]"), ''National Review'' ("[http://www.nationalreview.com/planet-gore/242092/gm-volt-electric-lemon-greg-pollowitz The GM Volt Is an ‘Electric Lemon’]"), or ''Human Events'' ("[http://www.humanevents.com/2012/01/07/obama-blew-more-money-on-chevy-volt-than-entire-gdp-of-djibouti/ Obama blew more money on the Chevy Volt than entire GDP of Djibouti]"). These are all to the right of Fox News, so I assume they'd be extradoubleplus lunatic in your book. [[User:PeterKa|PeterKa]] 01:41, 1 February 2014 (EST)

:::::On this question of what's fringe and what's not, I note that Richard Lindzen, John Christy, and Roy Spencer, [http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/news/jamesdelingpole/100257206/climate-science-is-for-second-raters-says-worlds-greatest-atmospheric-physicist/ leading climate scientists all], are skeptics. Stephen Schneider, father of the global warming scare, wasn't a climate scientist at all, but a rather mechanical engineer. [[User:PeterKa|PeterKa]] 03:42, 1 February 2014 (EST)
