Anything the LA Times, or any leftist for that matter, claims is “a threat to our democracy” has my undying support.
Kennedy Jr. castigates fossil fuel companies, throws his support behind the Green New Deal, and says that every Democratic presidential candidate has an environmental agenda better than that of President Donald Trump.
“There are going to be major disruptions not just to humanity, but ultimately to civilization,” says Kennedy Jr, the son of former U.S. Attorney General Robert Kennedy and nephew of former President John F. Kennedy. “This is part of the cost that we’re paying for our longtime deadly addiction to coal and oil.”
“Right now, we have a market that is governed by rules that were written by the carbon incumbents to reward the dirtiest, filthiest, most poisonous, most toxic, most war-mongering fields from hell, rather than the cheap, clean, green, wholesome and patriotic fields from heaven,” Kennedy adds.
On climate change, Kennedy Jr. voiced his support for a Green New Deal proposal put forward by Queens Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez but primarily called on governments to divest from fossil fuels and impose a tax for carbon emissions.
“I think the Green New Deal — and all that stuff — is important,” Kennedy Jr. says. “We ought to be pursuing it

Good post.
Do I think the Koch Brothers are treasonous? Yes I do. They are enjoying making themselves billionaires by impoverishing the rest of us. Do I think they should be in jail? I think they should be enjoying three hots and a cot at The Hague with all the other war criminals who are there.
Morano: What about politicians who deny [climate change]?
RFK Jr.: They’re selling out to public trusts. And I think those guys who are doing the Koch brother’s bidding, and who are against all the evidence of the rational mind, are saying that global warming doesn’t exist – and they are contemptible human beings, and that, you know, I wish that there were a law you could punish them under.
Any time you see the term “threat to democracy” used, replace the word “democracy” with “unelected DC Uniparty” and you’ve pretty much got the truth.
Me: He has spent his whole life as a dedicated environmental activist.

I’m pretty sure we became something of a Democracy in 1913 with the seventeenth amendment allowing We The People to directly vote for US senators. It changed the power structure of fedgov overnight as well as take power away from the state governments.
Bingo.
Please don’t say that. Or even think it. Just keep RFK, Jr in your prayers.
Yep.
“Just keep RFK, Jr in your prayers.”
Why pray for that left-wing nut?
This hostility seems to drive home the point that the Democrat Party has become either Authoritarian and or Marxist.
“And while he (RFKjr) is not actively “pro-gun”, he is definitely NOT anti-gun and supports the 2nd Amendment and its original intent.”
He is anti-gun but a realist, “the Supreme court has spoken”, and current gun control efforts ineffective.
So, one of the largest, most prominent newspapers in America, itself a CLEAR AND PRESENT DANGER TO OUR FREE REPUBLIC, calls RFK Jr. a threat?
LOL!
THE HYPOCRISY IS LAUGHABLE!
“If RFK Jr. and Tulsi run together, that would be something.”
Tulsa does not align wth nutters.
“Please don’t say that.”
I hope that by saying it that more people will be concerned for the man and that it becomes less likely.
Cockroaches don’t care for light to be shined on them. And if there is light somewhere the vermin will remain in the dark.
LA times is a threat to Civics 101.
It has been observed, by an honorable gentleman, that a pure democracy, if it were practicable, would be the most perfect government. Experience has proved that no position in politics is more false than this. The ancient democracies, in which the people themselves deliberated, never possessed one feature of good government. Their very character was tyranny; their figure, deformity.

“Right now, we have a market that is governed by rules that were written by the carbon incumbents to reward the dirtiest, filthiest, most poisonous, most toxic, most war-mongering fields from hell, rather than the cheap, clean, green, wholesome and patriotic fields from heaven,” Kennedy adds.
Well, we are rewarding Saudi Arabia, UAE, Iraq, Syria, Russia, Yemen, Iran, China and others instead of drilling and using out own oil.
Of course, if they were really wanting cheap clean energy, we’d have nuclear power plants in every state.
