Uh oh… The evil, hate filled, GOP now has control of the US Senate. Clearly the world will soon end. (Lucky for me, I have stocked up on guns and ammo… So I’m feeling better prepared than my Diana DeGette-loving neighbor.) Ben Adler, the former Newsweek.com editor, was among the more frantic examples of post-election meltdown. Appearing somewhat like Chris Matthews during a Republican victory, Ben scrambled to express his frustration at conservative gains with over-the-top rhetoric. He even went so far as to say that conservatives should not be mistaken for “rational human beings” or “patriotic Americans”.
Super classy.
Adler insisted that Republicans are already “gearing up to cause climate mayhem” (watch out… flying diesel-fueled-monkeys are clearly on the agenda for Senate Republicans). The totally unbiased former editor of Newsweek.com backed his allegations up with some “facts” about those evil GOPers: Apparently conservatives want to rein in the EPA (seriously… who will control all the farm dust?), and approve construction of the Keystone XL pipeline (I know my Jeep runs off of a beanie-copter and unicorn dust, doesn’t yours?).
To top it all off, Adler claims that conservatives are “lying” when they say there was popular support for their anti-Al-Gore agenda. Which, if true, would be pretty impressive. After all, getting a majority in the US Senate (and control of more State House seats than any other time since the 1920s) is quite an elaborate ruse.
Heck, Adler even blasted the GOP for potentially working with Democrats to move the Keystone XL project forward... Stupid Republicans. How dare they work with members of the minority party to move job-creating legislation forward!
Of course, in reality, the Keystone XL would be a far more environmentally-conscious method for transporting oil. And, let’s not forget that energy independence (even with evil fossil fuels) would allow the US to reduce our dependence on third world nations with horrendous environmental standards. But that’s probably just the GOP-brainwashing typing.
So, clearly, conservatives are irrational morons who hate their country. (I guess that explains their affinity for the Gadsden Flag, right?) So, let’s get this straight… According to Adler:
The Republicans have two top energy-related demands: stop EPA from regulating CO2 and approve the Keystone XL pipeline.
Okay. So Republicans are evil, because they think that regulating a natural (and necessary) component to earth’s atmosphere might be overkill? And they’re interested in building the Keystone XL, which would make all those crude-oil train crashes (operated by a Warren Buffett firm) a thing of the past. Apparently Ben would rather see America resort to killing bald eagles (which is what wind farms seem to do on a regular basis), or destroying the desert ecosystem (which is what several acres of solar panels tend to do).
But Republicans are unpatriotic and irrational. (Said the guy arguing for fewer American jobs, and more dead Bald Eagles.) Ben, ironically, epitomizes everything that Americans voted against on November 4th of this year. He’s arrogant, derogatory, and (worst of all) completely wrong.
The GOP is not evil, unpatriotic, or irrational… They’re just the loyal opposition, Ben. And it’s officially time for you to start talking with them, rather than insulting them. After all, you’ll probably need their help if you want them to help hunt down manbearpig.
Today CO2 and Keystone, tomorrow the world.

Easy for you to say!...heh heh
Someone should mention to Adler that Democrats sold out the environment by voting for the partisan 0bamacare insurance program.
Counting Landrieu who is 24% behind in the polls for her December 6th run-off election, 29 out of 60 Senators who voted for 0bamacare in 2009 are no longer in the Senate.
If Democrats cared about the environment more than about healthcare insurance, then they wouldn’t have passed that career-ending bill.
...lol! But they did!
Ha ha!
What if we had a POTUS who ignored the voters, congress and did what he damn well pleased? WE DO!!
The question: WHAT IS TO BE DONE ABOUT IT???

I had not seen that particular image before....it’s priceless!
Latex paint went from $3/gallon to $30/gallon thanks to the EPA. Red and blue automotive paint...$500/gallon. All due to the EPA. They have done nothing for us but raise prices. Do you think that latex paint is damaging the environment? VOC’s are damaging the environment? Let me remind you that German subs torpedoed thousands of tankers which burned or spilled millions of gallons. The entire continent of Europe burned to the ground. A year later you couldn’t tell it had happened. So, VOC’s from paint booths are damaging the environment? Really.
I thought no one was supposed to question another person’s patriotism.
That sure is what we’re scolded about whenever we do it.
what would a commie fag loving RAT know about Patriotism??? feh...
I read an article or post on FR recently by a PhD who indicated that the co2 level in the atmosphere is declining overall. If it continues to decline at the current rate in about 200 years there will not be enough CO2 to support plant life.
Who the hell is Ben Adler and why should we give a good crap about his lunatic ravings?
He’s typical of the left and nothing short of a frontal lobotomy is going to change his thinking.
However, it would be fun to try, won’t it? Ma, where’s that hacksaw?
This adler thing is only worthy of ridicule.
