What part of what I said is "conspiracy-theorizing"? What part of what I said is "anti-capitalist"? Please explain. No really... I want to hear your thoughts about this. I could have swore what I expressed was in FAVOR of true capitalism. No playing favoritism. That means no draconian laws meant to impede commerce.. such as: http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2014/04/21/oklahoma-to-charge-customers-who-install-their-own-solar-power-panels-wind/ |

Yeah because republicans never raise taxes, right? Taxes: What people forget about Reagan http://money.cnn.com/2010/09/08/news/economy/reagan_years_taxes/
George H.W. Bush Honored For Reversal On 'No New Taxes' Promise http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/05/04/george-hw-bush-honor_n_5264140.html
...are you not noticing a trend with cutting taxes? THE DEFICIT. Every time taxes are cut, the deficit balloons. It's pretty simple really. If you have bills to pay but stop bringing in the money to pay for it, you go into debt. Slashing programs does not help anyone except those at the top benefiting from low taxes. Everyone else gets screwed. Roads don't get repaired, schools get over crowded, police depts get over worked and poverty hits 99% of the population which is where we are now. |

This is my last post in this thread. It does seem that people are gradually beginning to see the truth. And Cubey....you seem like an intelligent (however misguided person) Might I suggest you keep an open mind. As for the EPA becoming a monster try this: Go to Google and type in "EPA out of Control". You will find multiple pages of links, from dozens of sources. Outrageous lawsuits that have NOTHING to do with what they were originally created for. Take your head out of the sand.....admitting you are wrong is good for the soul and buillds character. |

I did as you requested. I did a search. It's all op-ed online articles, a facebook group and general right wing insnane ranting and raving over things that don't exist. One op-ed article goes so far as bashing Nixon even starting the EPA: "Thank you Richard Nixon: you left us a heck of a legacy on this one." This one goes into some insane racist rant about Wyoming Indian tribes: http://www.thenewamerican.com/tech/environment/item/17427-obama-epa-hands-control-over-wyoming-city-to-indian-tribes They are screaming about "private lands" being "stolen" from whites to be given to people of native origin. I haven't done enough digging to COMPLETELY discredit the insane ranting of the article but I think I've proved it well enough to be nothing more than far right wing psychotic delusions. The irony is they are screaming that it's all the EPA, UN and Obama causing the trouble as part of "Agenda 21" (mentioned in the article above) I did some digging and found this: Creation (republicans in bold):
Opposition:
Take note: The RNC, a generic body of hundreds, if not thousands of people, is who complained about it. Frankly it's a worthless source of opposition to even go by, but I figured I'd show it anyway. Take it how you wish. It's just business as usual for the Republican party. Support the creation of something and take credit for it. When they get sick of it a few decades later, they can scream and point fingers, blaming the Democrats entirely for it. EDIT: Admitting one is wrong when they are not is asinine. It's embraces ignorance which is so prevalent in the United States these days.. I refuse to submit to stupidity. Edited by Cubey, Aug 30 2014, 02:52 PM.

I'm sure my guess is accurate that you didn't read much of anything in this thread. Your silly graphics don't really contribute to the discussion in any way. |

I've been vegetarian since I was 16. That is why I stayed out of the actual "bacon vs kale" aspect of that other thread. I suppose I *could* have gone all PETA about it, but I didn't. Nor am I going to. |

Lecturing everyone about the obvious...that fossil fuels will eventually run out...is a straw man argument. It is a transparent scare tactic, and an attempt to divert attention toward the obvious and away from the fact that the green energy crowd has not come up with any viable answers to our future energy needs over the last 40+ years. Wind and solar are not the inevitable replacements for oil and coal simply because guys like you say they are. It is becoming increasingly possible that they will NEVER advance to the point where they can even begin to replace current energy sources, and this is demonstrated by the fact that they have been touted as "the future" for well over half a century now. Despite having been studied feverishly for decades, they have borne little fruit. Scoffing at, or flat-out insulting, the more pragmatic members of this board who realize that fossil fuels are still abundant, still affordable, still effective, and are going to be around for awhile makes YOU look foolish, not them. You have to be pretty damned arrogant to believe that everyone who realizes what America's energy sources are going to be for the foreseeable future is either a moron or an oil company stooge. You are the one ignoring the obvious shortfalls of green energy, and just because you can't see those shortfalls through your own narcissism doesn't mean they aren't there. We cannot create enough biofuels to satiate the energy needs of our economy. This is a pipe-dream, and another one of those green "solutions", like solar, that is only good on the micro level. Can we run city buses on it? Sure? Can we make enough of it to run the buses, our B52s, all our Abrams tanks, and some Blackhawk helicopters on it...as well as all of our trucks and cars? Oh, and have enough left to eat? No. So get it out of your fuckin' head. EVs are not the answer either, because of our aging power grid. Greenies don't want any conventionally-fueled power plants, they don't want any more dams, they don't want nuclear. That leaves wind and solar to provide for our INCREASING electrical needs, and if everyone started driving an electric car tomorrow the drain on our power grid would be immense. It would be a disaster, so get it out of your fuckin' head. Personally, I'd rather have my head buried in the sand than up my own ass... Edited by Cobrajet25, Aug 31 2014, 03:37 AM.
