I just hope conservatives are prepared to sacrifice the Keystone pipeline for our long term freedoms. I have no doubt that the pipeline will only be approved in return for a carbon tax and that’s a price too high.

Agree. Under no circumstance should any carbon tax be imposed.

The evil left and the contemptuous GOP-e want to tax us into oblivion.

I’ve already tested my theory on liberals being greed and envy based. I told liberals I know that I would oppose the keystone pipeline if it meant a carbon tax were included.

They went ballistic. Screaming that gas prices will rise to $10 per gallon overnight. I told them that $10 gas was a reasonable price to keep my freedom and a carbon tax would likely push prices that high anyway and cost me my freedom to boot.

Just the fact that I am willing to sacrifice my comfort for greater freedom just enraged them.
