'I Feel Duped on Climate Change'

I'm not sure that's true. If they tried to pull what they do in Europe (especially in Germany), I think people would genuinely freak out. There'd be major political implications of tripling electricity rates and $7 per gallon gas.

Glad to see they take a stand on something.

I think Americans would. Of course Germans just bent over and let them do it.

Americans are pretty much bending over right now as well. See the jump in gas prices here and normally skeptical, at best, people on government ideas and mandates just going right along.

Stunning, really.

They're bending over, but compared to the Germans, they're getting a relatively short shaft and with plenty of KY jelly.
 
No dinner or dancing, just a creepy, half senile old man who smells vaguely of a soiled diaper sniffing your hair and giving a quick reach-around to qualify as foreplay.
 
California to Build Temporary Gas Plants to Avoid Blackouts

I was recently in La Jolla and at every restaurant with outdoor seating were fire pits powered by guess what? PROPANE.

Defund the police. Cut back on fossil fuels. Sure. Nothing will happen right?

Only in the minds of Liberals.

This stuff is real folks. Their hype machine preys on the hordes of emotionally impaired and socially maladjusted obsessives out there. And they want to normalize their OCD as a way of governing our country.

Don't. Let. Them.

You know what to do. You know who to vote for.

Reminds me of Germany. They've shut down a bunch of their nuclear power plants while trying to transition to wind and solar. However, since those sources are so unreliable and since they've lost so much nuclear energy, they're having to burn coal. To make matters worse, it's lignite coal, which is about the filthiest energy source anybody uses.

But they look righteous with all the solar panels and wind turbines (which are big eyesores in their otherwise beautiful countrysides), and that's what matters.

That's why Sting said:

"There's no political solution" in Spirits in the Material World.

These a-hole are wholly about virtue signaling and the Libs/Socialists fall for it every time. Just like right-wing Christians do for the Jim Baker's of the world.

You just have to build the solar panels and wind turbines really loudly and then build the coal while they're distracted.

It's like taxing people heavily to pay for programs they like - you just take the money away quietly and then give only some of it back but with a bunch of fanfare.

In case you all didn't know it, she's also quite the lecturer about abortion.

When I first read this, I thought to myself, "damn, that's pretty harsh, Hammer." However, it occurred to me that it's only harsh if you look at abortion the way we do. If you look at it as the hard left does (that abortion is a social good and the epitome of female empowerment), it's not harsh at all.

I have no patience for anti-human views. Go off yourself and let the rest of us carry on in peace and quiet fortitude.

It's really telling to me that, this attitude which you describe well, means Leftist women have a god complex. They literally want the right choose the life and death of people. Leftist men just want to skirt responsibility for their moral mistakes and perfectly happy letting women act as god. Shows how weak they are. Worthless men really.

For some, I think that's true, but I'm not sure that most of them are that deep and are thinking it through like that. This issue (especially on the abortion rights side and by necessity) is buried deeply in euphemism, superficial thinking, and diversion. For most, I think they just want to be able to make sexual decisions that they know to be stupid and want society to basically make it not matter. If abortion isn't on the menu, then you have to think twice (or at least once) before nailing that dude you don't know or nailing that dude you do know and know to be rotten but who's "exciting."

Of course, they like to bring up deformities, Down Syndrome, rape, incest, and all the other scenarios that make abortion seem more defensible. However, you can find out if that's their real concern by offering to make that concession (which would only allow a tiny percentage of the number of abortions we allow now). If they go along, then it is. 99 percent of the time, they don't, which shows you that these pretty rare situations aren't the real concern but something they bring up in bad faith.

The framing of abortion as a men v. women issue is the biggest fraud in an issue dominated by fraud. The media shows the people passing pro-life legislation and highlights that they're usually men in order to polarize women on the issue. Of course, that's true because most legislators in general are men. However, the legislators are just politicians doing the bidding of their activist allies, and those people are mostly women on both sides of the issue. I've been around pro-life activists for 20 years. There are men involved, but it's mostly women. Even if men lean a little more pro-life than women do (and it's not by much if at all), the people who are motivated by the issue are mostly women. The real battle is between women who are family-oriented and women who are not.

And dudes? They probably lean pro-life more than women, but it's not a blowout and not at all polarized like it's framed to be. Large numbers of men are pro-abortion rights for the same reasons pro-abortion rights women are. They want to be able to make stupid sexual decisions and be irresponsible and have a better chance at it not mattering. They may not have the ultimate choice like the woman does, but they can certainly apply pressure. It's a lot tougher to talk yourself into nailing that drunk bridesmaid you have a chance to score if you know you'll be on the hook to marry her or pay child support for 18 years if you get her pregnant.

I think you are right on a practical level. People don't think that deeply. But I also think there are unrealized presumptions that lead people to make these surfaces decisions. I think if they dug deep you get the god complex I am talking about.

You're right. I just wonder how many would come right out and say so if confronted.
