 i have solar panels and love them.  
 
how about if we all agree not to leave a carbon footprint any bigger than John Kerry’s?  any conceivable reason why that wouldn’t be fair?
 
I’m supposed to ride the bus instead of driving myself, but because his wife’s family owns a lot of ketchup, he can still fly in a private jet?  Not buying’ it…
 
IF the greenies are right about this, and IF we all lived like Kerry, Denver would be underwater and Anchorage would be exporting sugar cane.  Obviously Kerry doesn’t believe what he claims to believe.

 Only you 2 would define waking the walk when you support a party who denies climate change even exist 
 
So let me understand you 2 correctly if you don’t own an electric car have solar panels on a house or the means to buy these things .  Your not walking the walk 
 
Ps But Trumps private 757 is nothing to see because He has called climate change "mythical", "nonexistent", or "an expensive hoax"   And you twist that .and proclaim  at least he’s not a hypocrite ..
 
Sorry I can’t compete with that kind of rationality
 
Teamwork is a foreign concept..  to todays. conservatives it’s all about individualism  when it used to be they embrace traditional conservative values, which place communities, nations and collectives above individual rights and individuals themselves.
 
not everyone’s a Tom Brady but in today’s GOP team players are communist or Socialists 
 
But individuals are The Real  Americans

 if climate change is real, caused by man, and a grave threat…why is it acceptable for john kerry to zip 
around in a private jet?  it’s a fair question.
 
the climate is changing ( as it often does.). Man is probably contributing to it.  john kerry doesn’t seem all 
that concerned. neither does al gore, the only thing he has unplugged in the last 20 years is his treadmill.

 you have it exactly wrong.  i’m not saying people who can’t buy an electric car are hypocrites. i’m saying the liberal elites who demand that we make sacrifices that they themselves would never consider making, they are the hypocrites. 
 
this is a sincere honest question, maybe for rockhound. do we know that EVs are better for the environment?  mining for the batteries, disposing of them, charging them with electricity that needs to be generated, , all of that has some environmental cost. 
 
i’m convinced that many people think batteries generate their own electricity.

 and people who lecture others incessantly about the environment and continue to run all of their gas guzzling vehicles and tools and electric devices at home powered by fairy dust I guess.........
 
it's like a fat guy stuffing a pizza and coke and ice cream down his gullet as he tells others they need to go on a diet   
ps....this guy is also demanding free insulin

		 it seems like you never, ever point out when liberals misbehave. why is that? 
 
Guess you never heard of a thing called  Scale ...   you just can't compare the 2 when it comes to Scale but i know you will try..   because in your brain   Republican or conservative misbehaven 10 times  and a liberal or democrat misbehaven 1 time  are equal   because they both misbehaved ...  no matter the severity of the misbehavin

 to you, “scale” means ignore everything bad the left does, and obsess over everything bad the right does
 
When you do that, i agree the right looks pretty darn bad. But i’m pretty sure that’s not  right way to do it, and i’m pretty sure most people 
know that.

 i do?  summer of 2020, how many murders, how many billions in damage?  biden saying republicans want to put blacks in chains.  democratic governors violating their lockdown orders daily.  Andrew Cuomo killed gif knows how many by forcing nursing homes to admit covid positive residents. Andrew Cuomo, an absolute hero of the left. ( book deals, hollywood awards) exposed as a predator.  democrats and the doj lying together to get a FISA wiretap in an american citizen who hadnt done anything wrong. democrats telling god knows how many lies about Kyle Rittenhouse, Democrats telling god knows how many pies about Nick Sandman.  Throwing cops under the bus.  how far back do i have to go, einstein?

 Who held the White House?
 
Am I shocked Republicans would block aid to veterans who are injured?”
