Germans get an eyeful when they get to travel around the USA. They can’t conceive of so vast and varied a place. They can’t understand how it works to inhabit one continent with one language (kinda sort-of).

No. I’ll drive what I want, when I want, whenever I want.

Screw anyone that attempts to stop me.

Thanks 2ndDivisionVet.
Americans are divided: Half of them regard climate protection policies as socialist, and half want to save the world.
No problem -- the United States should ban all German auto imports. Problem solved, Der Spiegel...

Germany is the vision of rat energy Utopia. Germany has triple our electricity rates and gas prices. Solar panel use is high in Germany despite its location. The German government is now subsidizing the industries most impacted by the high energy taxes.

The left believes very high levels of energy taxation will save the planet. All evidence suggests that high energy taxes will only bring misery. Europe has had very high gas taxes for 25 years or more. Is Europe any closer to an oil substitute than any other country?

This is yet another leftist attack on remaining American freedoms.

Greenism amounts to conversion by the sword to an alien religion. I ain’t no Green dhimmi and neither are any of my friends.
