Dude, it's not that republicans (not conservatives, neocons and tea baggers are anything BUT conservative) ... it's not that they WANT the environment to be bad. They just want to do whatever they want and not have to answer for it or pay their share for the resources they consume. If the environment gets in the way of that, screw the environment. Screw ANYTHING that stops them from doing any and everything they want regardless of the cost or consequences to others.
Fox isn't remotely comparable to the NYT or NPR. They don't trouble themselves with facts or evidence. They just spew whatever noise they think will get them what they want. It works too because people actually BELIEVE they are a responsible news organization but they publish less actual news than Comedy Central.
The problem is this, and I'm tired of dancing around this to avoid offending my friends....
Yes the democrats are idiots, but they don't LIE and CHEAT anywhere near the way republicans do. Sure, you can bust a democrat bullshitting... but republicans don't say anything BUT bullshit. They use mis-information as their PRIMARY campaign tool. REPUBLICANS JUST LIE LIE LIE. It's absurd but it's extremely effective. The more you repeat something to Americans, the more they believe it. Telling the truth doesn't work... it's not exciting enough, it doesn't get votes, it doesn't make you look like a firebrand, the truth is boring and it means we have some sacrifices to make... nobody wants to hear that. They just wann keep doing whatever they want because god is gonna straighten all theis out later on.
Well, I don't believe in god as christians do. And I sure as hell don't want preachers making laws based on beliefs that have ZERO supporting evidence. You want to believe all that fine... I don't and neither do a great many other Americans and we don't want religious laws. We don't want to be an American Iran, we want to be FREE Americans without religious influence. What we do is none of the church's business but if the churches want a say... it's time to pay some damn taxes on all that free money they scam up.
Yes, I'm pissed about this crap. Nobody is trying to outlaw religion, why do christians have to outlaw civil freedoms? Obama signs revision to a 40 year old, highly specific law and Fox News is on like stink on shite. Boner tries to back out of the budget deal HE agreed to and nobody is calling him a flipflopper or a cheat... but he did EXACTLY that in front of god and everybody... why is he not answering for that?
F_cking politics... this is bullshit.
