Democrats believe that "politics is war by other means." And they are at war with America, with common sense and even common decency. Those who would mount an effective opposition had better have a high tolerance for slime, slander and abuse.

Oh this is nice to wake up to...
I never called you or implied that you, (or agravan) are a dumbass or a redneck. I never called you or implied that you (or agravan) live a simple and insignificant life. You guys are making me out to be some sort of detached snob. I don't expect you or anybody to treat me differently so hit away, but don't make me out to be something that I'm not please.

It shouldn't be any more panic, considering we already know we can cut a lot disaster relief funds simply based on the color of the State.
Red States no longer want disaster relief funding and that's just fine with me.
Should be a great cost saving in the future.
Chloe, I never meant to imply that you called me a rednek or insignificant. I just thought Pete's redneck comment was funny.
that being said, the fact is that many liberals do see conservatives as ignorant, backwoods renecks, and themselves as intellectually, morally, and just overall superior to us mere mortals. If you don't that's great, but many, if not most, of your fellow travelers do.

I'm not necessarily wanting to promote a lie in order to change behavior since I'd much rather people just do the right thing and be responsible, but my main point was that I fear what people will do if they are told that their actions have no consequences when it comes to air quality and the environment. Imagine 7 billion people all no longer caring about air pollution just because there's no proof it hurts anything any more. It's scary. Maybe having that second thought, that little bit of uncertainty about if an action is going to be damaging to the atmosphere, maybe that's a good thing.
