Essay:Liberal Predictions of the Decade (view source)
Revision as of 17:33, December 29, 2009
, 17:33, December 29, 2009I'm not sure liberal predictions belong in an article about the conservatives of the decade, so I'm creating this article as a place for them.
The first decade of the twenty-first century was marked by many predictions by liberal experts. Almost invariably, these predictions were spectacularly wrong.
Among the most egregiously-incorrect predictions:
*"'''[[Global Warming]] will increase at an exponential scale!'''" We now know that not only was this prediction incorrect, but that the evidence that it was incorrect was so clear-cut that the liberal scientists studying it had to falsify the data, resulting in [[Climategate]].
*"'''[[George Bush]] is a dictator! He's trying to create Empire America! He and his cronies will never give up power!'''" The more extreme versions of this prediction suggested that President Bush would declare martial law or stage another terrorist attack prior to the 2008 elections in order to remain in power. Of course, none of that happened; the election proceeded smoothly, the transition of power was peaceful, and the only fraud committed was on behalf of the eventual winner, [[Barack Obama]]. The outgoing President and his staff didn't even remove the "W" keys from the keyboards at the White House, unlike certain other past administrations.
*"'''Our [stimulus] plan will save or create 3-4 million new jobs, 90% of these jobs will be created in the private sector, the remaining public sector jobs.'''" [ (President Barack Obama on the economic stimulus package.) When the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act was passed in February of 2009 the nation's Unemployment Rate was 8.1%, by December 2009 it was 10.2%.
