The fierce verbal combat between liberals and conservatives never seize to amaze me. You have a polarity in your political views only matched by the British Parliament.

I can really miss some of that liveliness in our politically mellow debate.

With all due respect to weenie, a bad analogy. In the above case, a liberal would immediately raise taxes everyone in the county to fund a 10-yr study of all electrical switches in the neighborhood to determine which switch manufacturer needed to be sued. The conservative would go to WalMart ... ... and by a new freakin switch.

The neo-cons are old Trotskyite communists for the most part.

First of all, you aren't a conservative. Your argument as if you were is specious.

Ohhh Noooo! I've been outed!

P.S. Actually, you're correct. I'm a liberal but not a leftist. Know the difference?

Whole lot of BS. There are NO renewable energy sources at this time, not sun, wind or whatever. Nothing even close for the next 500 years or so.

Also the leftie types don't like wind or solar because energy is not their true agenda. As to so called fossil fuel, it may indeed may be one of the renewable ones, as it may actually be produced by methane gas from the earths internal core. But we really don't understand the whole thing at this point.

but back to the point, the lefts desire to wreck the world because they are not willing to try anything that might actually work. The left always waits until there are NO choices left. Only the complete extrermination of the opposing side.

I always thought conservatives were the Pabst Blue Ribbon types. Wasn't Blue Velvet an allegory on the two-party system? Hopper plays a great con!

I guesss that joke is too old for most of you. It's an old Irish joke. A Bass house served Bass ale and you couldn't get Guiness there.

The conservative would go to the wrong place and ask for the wrong solution to the problem.
The corrective action does not fit the root cause.
You know like attacking Irag to get kill terrorists, OBL.

But if you get the wrong beer at the wrong place, you might get the beer you're after.......... never mind.

You are wrong if the theory of Abiotic Oil formation is can be proven beyond doubt. One of the serious proponents of the theory was the Thomas Gold an astrophysicist at Cornell University.

Another really inspiring OT thread. You should all be very proud of yourselves.
At the time we dropped the bomb, they were JAPs. Still one of the most racist people on the face of the earth. But notice, contrary to the lefts view point they did surrender, unconditionally. I just hope the next one dosen't take two A bombs to make it happen.

Next time read all of what I said, exactly what you have stated. Quoteing myself "As to so called fossil fuel, it may indeed may be one of the renewable ones, as it may actually be produced by methane gas from the earths internal core." Oil may indeed be a renewable resource.

But the others, the wind, solar are all fantasies. Even a first year engineering student can do the calculations, it will never happen, no way, no how. Just like the electric car debacle. In the early 1960's the best way of conserving energy was to utilize hybrids, in larger cars and trucks. But no the political types intervened and pursued electric. Set back hybrids by at least 35 years. I wrote a paper for the local auto shop class at Saddleback college about 5 years ago, stating this. Now they know its true. But it was obvious to anyone with an IQ above 10 all along.

I am an electrical engineer, so I am biased, in favor of all things electric, but I do not subscribe to the electric car fiasco. Never made any sense to anyone with over a 5th grade education.

Now the political correct types are pursuing hybrids. but in mini cars. Makes no sense whatsoever. Only on giant busses or large trucks, maybe an expedition or suburban, but nothing smaller

But then you realize, its not about energy, its politics. Left wing politics.

So vaporizing 100,000 or so women and children will solve the terroism problem?

Your OK with incinerating children?

I stated that I hope that it dosen't take two A bombs to make it happen. What can't you understand about this? You lefties are the ones that are pushing us to that choice, not the reasonable "right wing" people.

And Yes vaporizing the opposition does fix the problem, permanently.

But I happen to like a lot of the Iranians and Mid eastern peoples, and I do not want this to happen to them. But if you lefties keep it up, it will become inevitable.
