The Heritage Foundation? Are you kidding?

 

http://www.rightwingwatch.org/content/heritage-foundation

 

"The Heritage Foundation will continue to be a key element in the phalanx of rightist groups with an agenda of austerity for the poor, hostility to minorities and women, upward distribution of wealth for the rich, economic domination of the Third World, with repression and bloodletting for those who rebel."

 

You complain about people using skewed facts, but you use Heritage.org as a source of information.

 

You can't write comedy like this. You just can't.

 

 

how about usnews.. is that a rightist group?

What site would you believe? Let me guess, a liberal site that pushes more regulations?

Why do people get angry when people point out they use websites as sources that don't have a minuscule amount of credibility?

 

Well.....unless you also believe Sandyhook really didn't happen and it was all staged with child actors acting like they were dead.

 

We aren't the ones who are trying to pass this crap off as actual valid information.

Wait. You're moving the goalposts here. We're talking about climate change being a hoax. Now you're off on some tangent about ANY regulation being bad.

 

We're not talking about all regulations. We can agree that some are implemented ham-handedly and have bad economic impacts. But let's not pretend that because some are bad, ALL are bad.

 

And let's not use articles like these in defense of global warming being a "hoax." None of them say that - and they can't, because it isn't.

 

Climate change could cost trillions of dollars due to rising sea levels alone. You want to debate which costs more, regulations or climate damage, that's a different conversation. But for certain the shorelines of every major city moving inward by several dozen feet will be a problem.

Well, strict government regulations are bad for the economy, I think most understand that would include EPA regulations as well. No moving goalpost.. regulations are regulations... be it because of climate or anything else. Shall we look at what is happening to VW right now?

 

because of stricter EPA regulations, VW is in a world of hurt and has decided to stop selling diesel cars in the US.

 

 

There is zero proof the sea levels are rising.

Fred, it’s obvious that the IPCC has got lots of ‘splainin’ to do about how their previous global warming doomsday predictions based upon hypothetical computer models they claimed to have confidence in got it so wrong . That won’t be easy. Political operatives at their upcoming damage-control meeting in Stockholm this week will have to figure out how to spin evidence of a 17 year “pause” in global temperature rise and the expanding Arctic ice mass despite what they love to describe as “record high” atmospheric CO2 concentrations.

 

 

Fred is a professor emeritus at the University of Virginia, and directs the Science & Environment Policy Project which has produced a series of scientific Non-Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (NICPP) report studies which often take issue with IPCC conclusions. NICPP’s new publication “Climate Change Reconsidered II: Physical Science” is available at no cost on-line.

I'm about as pro business on this site as anyone. Any business person that is honest with themselves will admit that regulations are needed for business to thrive. Now, we can argue all we want about what regulations are good and which are bad. That is a constant argument that will go on for eternity. However, regulations ARE needed for business to thrive.

You officially have zero credibility. Or you're just trolling. Either way... done.

 

Wow...2000......you really went there?

 

 

Maybe you can explain?

 

I know all about the VW situation, I have two of them.

I think we can all agree that businesses can significantly increase their profit margins by hiring children, polluting at will, and privatizing wealth at taxpayer risk.

 

The whole Democracy thing is about deciding the kind of world we want to live in. America has actually thrived under a combination of free-enterprise and federal regulation.

 

You'd think most people wouldn't feel sorry for billionaires, but that kind of money can buy the opinion of some of our less-discerning citizens.

I say they did what they had to do to get around the restrictive regulations.

 

Again, I know full well what happened, I own two of those cars and I belong to a VW forum.

A lot of folks put their birth year in their screen name.

 

I'm really hoping Huskerfan2000 is 16 years old.

 

What is the point of this post? I am 47 years old, just because I disagree with you doesn't mean you need to make it personal!

 

When I disagree, I make a comment about the post, some of those that are not happy with how I post actually make comments that degrade the poster.. ironic if you ask me.
