I agree with everything with maybe the exception of the left using it strictly as a political hammer. I also am not in agreement that mankind will cause its own extinction, unless we continue down the same path we have been going down.

I’m also not saying this is issue number one facing the US, but to dismiss it as a non issue, to abandon our global partnerships and to deregulate and reverse course is a bad change of course. Look at where we are today technically as compared to a generation ago and imagine where we will be in another, I have to believe solutions to cease or even reverse the carbon problem will be available, provided we don’t do to much damage before that’s available.

I can see the planet doing a major reset by a super volcano like Yellowstone blowing, some large metor impact before a Bruce Willis and grew can get to it, mankind being stupid enough to get into a global nuclear war or than there is is the new buzz over the UFO sightings; could they be a precursor to something 👀👀👀

Is there an issue for which the left doesn't do this?

If you are pro life, you hate women.

If you support legal immigration, you are a xenophobe.

If you are for strong national defense, you are an Islamophobe.

If you believe in traditional marriage, you are a homophobe.

If you think there is a limit to how high taxes can go, you hate poor people and want them to die.

If you are opposed to socialized medicine, you hate sick people and want then to die.

If you believe our priority should be to help Americans thrive, you are a white nationalist.

If you don't want to live in a yurt and walk to work, you are a science denier.

If you think economic growth is awesome, you only care about rich people, because somehow middle class and poor people are absolutely immune from the benefits of a surging economy, only hedge fund managers benefit from a surging economy. I have never heard an explanation as to why that is (I'm more of a 'rising tides lift all boats' kind of guy), but liberals sure believe it.

Hilary's "basket of deplorables" comment summed it up very nicely.

You know what you rarely see from the left? Rational explanations of why their ideas are better. What you hear far more often, is how hateful and racist everyone on the right is. You hear that often, and it is usually delivered by someone screaming and who is very angry at the moment. Watch CNN or MSNBC in primetime sometime.

Wayne - Jim and I have largely been on the same page WRT Deficits / Debts as long as he's been on the forum. I would venture that we both protest this the most.


Why bother? We're already dead due to Net Neutrality

That generalization on what most Democrats believe or stand for, is about as far off base as stating all republicans are racist, white nationalist women hating old school farts. As an independent I see much wrong on both sides and at times I’m as disgusted (Omars past comments) with what I hear on the left as I am with what I don’t hear out of the right.

Term Limits if only!

did you hear hilary’s desirables comment? i watch cnn and msnbc most nights, that’s what i see. in the other thread, spence called
me intolerant because i don’t think Rep Omar is fit to serve in congress because she was so dismissive of 09/11. spence is very smart, but he’s liberal first, and he can’t begin to address my concerns about her, so he lobbed the bigot charge. i’m not even a little
bit wrong.

watch an abortion debate. one side will
claim that it’s alive and life is precious, the other side will
shriek about enslaving women ( despite the fact that tons of women are pro life).
