Closed-Circuit to Ann Coulter:\u00a0 Keep your foot out of your mouth.\u00a0 Calling people “faggot” is bad form, and gives the bad guys cheap points; it’s like losing at touchdown because of a holding call.<\/p>\n

Which is especially imporant, since when you don’t have all of your friends backing away for you because of dumb misbegotten “jokes” like calling Silkypony a “faggot” (and getting excoriated by the same people who insist John Kerry’s “be dumb and go to Iraq” jape was a “joke”, ironically enough),\u00a0 you really do hit the nail on the head.<\/p>\n

Like with your latest Wpiece on Algore and Leo D, on your website<\/a>:<\/p>\n

[The global warming scolds] think they can live in a world of only Malibu and East Hampton \u2014 with no Trentons or Detroits. It does not occur to them that someone has to manufacture the tiles and steel and glass and solar panels that go into those “eco-friendly” mansions, and someone has to truck it all to their beachfront properties, and someone else has to transport all the workers there to build it. And then someone has to drive the fleets of trucks delivering the pachysandra and bottled water every day.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Liberals are already comfortably ensconced in their beachfront estates, which they expect to be unaffected by their negative growth prescriptions for the rest of us.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Arguing with a liberal about the environment:<\/p>\n

CONSERVATIVE: Um, the Kyoto accords would spark a worldwide depression.
\nLIBERAL:\u00a0 Bush scuttled the Kyoto accords!\u00a0 Halliburton!\u00a0 Halliburton!<\/p>\n

CONSERVATIVE:\u00a0 Er, actually Clinton – with Gore as his veep – kinda did that.
\nLIBERAL: Bush scuttled the Kyoto accords!\u00a0 Halliburton!\u00a0 Halliburton!<\/p>\n

CONSERVATIVE:\u00a0 A global depression could starve tens of millions of people.
\nLIBERAL: Bush scuttled the Kyoto accords!\u00a0 Halliburton!\u00a0 Halliburton!<\/p>\n

CONSERVATIVE:\u00a0 Um – hey, pitchers and catchers reported for spring training!
\nLIBERAL: Bush scuttled the Kyoto accords!\u00a0 Halliburton!\u00a0 Halliburton!<\/p>\n

Coulter:<\/p>\n

“Global warming” is the lefts pagan rage against mankind. If we cant produce industrial waste, then we cant produce. Some of us \u2014 not the ones with mansions in Malibu and Nashville is my guess \u2014 are going to have to die. To say we need to reduce our energy consumption is like saying we need to reduce our oxygen consumption.Liberals have always had a thing about eliminating humans. Stalin wanted to eliminate the kulaks and Ukranians, vegetarian atheist Adolf Hitler wanted to eliminate the Jews, Planned Parenthood founder Margaret Sanger wanted to eliminate poor blacks, DDT opponent Rachel Carson wanted to eliminate Africans introduction to her book “Silent Spring” written by … Al Gore, and population-control guru Paul Ehrlich wants to eliminate all humans.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

That, and\/or create policies to make mass human death pretty much inevitable.<\/p>\n

If western agriculture becomes hobbled by massive, Kyoto-induced cutbacks in fossil fuel use for agriculture (not to mention the manufacture of things like tractors, fertilizer, pesticides and so on) ,who will <\/em>feed all those people in Congo, Darfur, Somalia…<\/p>\n

It’s just supposed to happen, <\/em>right, Algore, Leo and Missy?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
