At a campaign event in Keokuk, Iowa on the morning he officially announced his run for the Democratic presidential nomination, former Rep. Beto O'Rourke strongly endorsed the Green New Deal, saying: "Not to be dramatic, but literally, the future of the world depends on us right now here where we are."

"This is the final chance," O'Rourke said. "The scientists are unanimous on this. We have no more than 12 years to take incredibly bold action on this crisis."

Robert O’Rourke, please show us facts that we can do more damage than Africans cooking with dung? If you can show us facts - such as liberals selling their coastline homes, selling private Jets and living in poverty, then I’ll say that it is real. Until then, I’ll say it is Bullsh_t.

You know, since Trump is going to be president for the next six years, that means they only really have six years to save the whole planet! In the meantime, the commies will try to extract as much money out of the little people as they possibly can with their fear mongering, BS, crazy ideas.

Only stupid people agree with them.

Beto/AOC 2020! /extreme sarc


I agree, and it is good that the crazies are in it for the money, and not the brightest.

However, should something really bad happen before the election time, i.e. 2008 banking crisis, one of those crazies could possibly be elected. Scary!

“A world without the icky great unwashed. Like you and me.”

Back in the 70’s and 80’s, the focus of the gun control lobby was handguns, and that makes sense because the lions share of gun crime is committed with handguns. But in the 90’s, they turned to the “assault weapon” thing. I get the feeling that they are no longer worried about gun crime, but rather can they put up an effective resistance. Pretty scary.

“selling private Jets”

The best was the 2007 Bali climate summit. There were so many private jets they could not park them all on the island.

To a totalitarian leftist, a free man with a gun is the most dangerous threat imaginable. One hundred and fifty million of them is an existential crisis which cannot be tolerated.
