AP: Republicans Pounce... By Scheduling a Vote for the Green New Dream (or Whatever) Legislation Democrats Claim to Want to Pass Into Law...?

The Democrats say they want to pass the "Green New Dream (or whatever)" into law. Every Democrat Senator running for President has said so -- or at least said they'd vote for it.

So, given that legislation is not just supposed to be a campaign stunt but an actual practical code you intend to make into actual law, Mitch McConnell has announced he will schedule a vote on the "Green New Dream (or whatever)" bill and give Democrats the chance to express their support as actual legislators rather than as mere MSNBC/CNN bloviators.

I mean, yes, it's a nonbinding resolution, but do they want this resolution resolved, or not?

The reaction from Democrats has been vehement.

The only people more outraged by this underhanded stratagem of calling for a vote on a proposed resolution are... the neutral and objective fact-finders of the media.

This is a real AP headline, fam:

McConnell wields Green New Deal as bludgeon against Dems

When pouncing and seizing aren't expressive enough -- turn to "bludgeon" as your loaded term of choice.

Meanwhile, Congressman Ed Markey, the same Democrat who co-sponsored and jointly announced the "New Green Dream (or whatever)" with Alexandria Donkey-Chompers, now claims that scheduling a vote on it is a "Republican trick" which will "sabotage" the effort to have a "national conversation."

Um: You know what's usually a great time for a national conversation, Dummy? When Congress is preparing to vote on a piece of transformative socialist legislation.

Or did you not actually want that at all?

Even a roof full of solar panels and a basement full of batteries in every house wouldn't give us all the consistent, always-on power we enjoy today.

And even the best solar systems have huge issues with high draw devices, like air conditioning compressors. Tesla claims to be working on a solution to that, but... anyone who lives anywhere where they run AC will just have to go back in time to pre-AC days I guess.

114 Unlike Obamacare, here is a chance to read the bill before it's passed. Senator Markey and AOC are telling citizens--If you like your car---you can't keep it. If you want to fly from Los Angeles to visit your grandkids in North Carolina--you can't fly. You have to take the train. If your cow farts--well you'll just have to go without that beef you were planning to put in the locker.

Well, speaking of green things, there is the titanic cornichon we face. The Democrat Party represents and is an anti-American entity with the goal of destroying the country as founded.

To allow them to participate in a normal political framework/context is suicide because one day they will regain power and then go all out to consolidate it permanently.

The only real solution is that party's abolition and the removal of anyone and everyone from office, the judiciary and really academia and media.

And you can't do that unless you start a hot civll war.

Recall who empowers every idiot Dem (or idiot/dishonest GOP, as the case may be) around the country, from city council to the Senate. And with/without Trump in the Oval, the tectonic forces of idiocy may well have become too powerful to overcome.


Hence the (over-simplified) dichotomy: Trump - Speed Bump or Direction Change?

I think that part of the reason Trump has had so many problems with even the GOP in Congress is that he seems to not believe in the Imperial Presidency, and actually expects them to do their jobs and take a position on important issues. Congress, naturally, is outraged by this notion.

1. lecture from them to everybody else2. declare debate is over3. declare anybody that wants to actually have a conversation a hater.
4. pass laws to ostracize and ruin the haters

No. Milk is torture that keeps cows in perpetual estrus and exploits cow labor.

If you want to have fun with a vegan ask how they feel about honey. The hardcore believe that honey exploits bee labor and is haram.

The left are just a bunch of disturbed perverts who really got fucked up by attempted potty training and have never recovered. Everything in their useless lives revolves around shit and anuses.

Why did this happen? Because most of the people who became the driving force behind the left are the freaky deakies in society.

446 The whole cow fart deal is ridiculous. Tony Heller has a good video up showing that methane greenhouse effect in the atmosphere is dwarfed by, get this, water vapor, and methane in the atmosphere is relatively short-lived in the presence of, get this, oxygen.

More junk science taken as a starting proposition, for a final solution that was pre-ordained.

How about dems eat cow farts, we'll take the rest

447 Not that they will EVER replace cow burgers at Chez Smiley. But they are surprisingly good.

Sure, I actually eat a primarily vegetarian diet, not out of some commitment to plants or feeling sad that cows died, but because I like how veggies taste. I like rice, I like beans, I don't like steak. Its just how my palate works and what my body craves. It makes staying fairly thin easy because I don't really like fatty foods or sweets very much.

But that's a big difference between making it some kind of lunatic religion or compelling OTHER people to eat the way I do.

Wild animals' farts are comprised of free range methane and mercaptans, both of which cherish, cuddle with, and then release trapped heat into outer space. In that way they differ radically from man-caused methane and mercaptans, which serve as churlish jailers of trapped heat.

I agree with the first stement...100%.

The second is problematic. Many begin their defense of Veganism with health concerns, which is a personal choice with which I certainly don't have a problem with. Then it creeps to the environment, and then it creeps to social welfare, then it creeps to political philosophy. Only when pressed do they begin to reveal the political goals inherent in the destruction of an animal protein-based diet.

When Anthony Bourdain visited other parts of the world, he liked to regale the locals with tales of American veganism/vegetarianism. There was always an incredulous reaction, a you're-kidding-me response. (One Portuguese guy said flatly, "There are no vegetarians in Portugal.") It's considered decadent and wasteful to not use everything edible you can get ahold of, because your family starves if you don't.

467 Veganism isn't really a leftist cause in and of its self, its not a progressivist concept.



I completely disagree. It's not healthier, it's about anthropomorphizing animals, but still probably being for abortion. It is now inexorably linked to a strong emotional belief in "climate change" and protecting the environment because eating animals as opposed to soy for protein supposedly causes a bigger "carbon footprint." Of course the entire climate change thing is about controlling the population, they're just the ones who want to be controlled the most.

Stanford did a study where they asked people how they would vote on bills that would limit personal property, limit transportation, and raise taxes to support green initiatives. They then took the same people and put them through brain washing sessions where they were made to feel guilty about their own carbon footprint, ie they were told it was high compared to others. Then they retested them on "green initiative" voting. The worst they felt about their own "carbon footprint' the more likely they were to vote away their own liberty and convenience (and health).

Most people aren't even aware that it's a relatively unhealthy diet, low in necessary fats and proteins and high in simple carbs. Veganism can cause diabetes and inflammation diseases all on its own. But Gaia---the replacement god.

469 I think people are mistaking the end result from the origins with veganism. Vegans didn't become vegans as part of some overarching scheme to manipulate society and economics away from meat products. I know a few and they all are lefties, but they are all vegans simply because they think of animals as people and are horrified by causing pain to someone. They're stupid and ignorant and all have ill health and nasty skin, but they didn't set out to establish some sinister hidden leftist cause.

Leftists have adopted veganism to promote their goals, but that's what became of it, not what it started out as.

There's also the major issue of calories burned per day vs those consumed. My daughter was vegan. Then she got a job that required her to put many tons of cans on the store shelf over an eight hour day. Veggies were no longer cutting it. She needed high calorie protein in order to do the job.

The people - let's call them 'takers' - who move around very little, think vegan is the answer to everything and don't have to contend with the same issues the 'makers' have in life.

Yeah those are the boutique vegetarians, the ones who took it up because its cool and/or a lifestyle they want to promote or they just feel sad for baby cows.

There are vegetarians who do craft a diet they can survive on and get their nutrients. Its expensive and difficult, but it can be done. Its stupid, I can't figure out why anyone would do it, but hey, as long as they stay in their stupid lane, live your own life.

Posted by: Christopher R Taylor at February 13, 2019 05:15 PM (39g3+)

475 Once years ago I leafed through a copy of the Vegetarian Times magazine. Thick magazine, and every other page was an advertisement for pills. My impression was that vegetarians aren't really that into food, they'd rather swallow vitamins. Funny how such healthy eating requires so many supplements.

477 Low protein causes bone loss, low protein in adolescence causes life-long low bone density and less than optimal growth.

I agree. Even with a really careful strict diet to get the proteins you need, its STILL not enough for a high impact job or heavy physical activity. Beans are not as dense or fast at delivering proteins the way meat is. God made us omnivorous, its idiotic to think otherwise. It defies science in any case. We have bodies designed to eat meat and vegetables, grains and dairy, etc.
