Environmentalist Proposes Tax Breaks For Only Having One Kid... Because Of Carbon Footprint
Posted by: Jillian Bandes at 6:45 PM
It's only a "thought experiment," said Andrew Revkin, an environmental reporter for the New York Times.
...probably the single most concrete and substantive thing an American, young American, could do to lower our carbon footprint is not turning off the lights or driving a Prius, it's having fewer kids, having fewer children.

An even better idea:
Wingnuts having fewer children. Of course, many children born into the wingnut household grow brains and become liberals as soon as they can escape the indoctrination.

Do you suppose....
....this will lead to strangling the girl children soon after they are born like in China.....?

By 2020, there will be 37 million Chinese men without wives. They may just replace Disneyland as the happiest place on earth!
Dave writes: Monday, October, 19, 2009 7:09 PM
Let the Left follow his lead
Sounds like a plan. Everyone who likes the wacky left ideas of the New York Times should have just one kid. The rest of us will take over demographically in a generation.

foxmustang writes: Monday, October, 19, 2009 7:36 PM
Yeah....
we as Americans need to follow the lib-tard European lead and have, on average, only one child. Population levels in Europe began a pretty serious overall decline (dying at a faster pace than the birth rate). However, I believe that trend has now reversed itself.
How so? you may ask. Have the Europeans began to have more children? Uh...no. Have their elderly began live significantly longer? Uh.....once again, no.
Well, how has this trend reversed itself?
Answer:.....The Muslims are FAST taking over Europe and much of the rest of the world. They're populating like rabbits. Is this REALLY what you want to happen?
Much the same will happen in the good 'ol U S of A........EXCEPT.........it almost certainly won't be the Muslims doing it here (at least not at first). Who do you think it will be here?
C'mon......even a dimbulb libtard could answer this (that is, if they're not afraid of being labeled a bigot, a racist, etc). The FACTS absolutely say this country WILL be taken over by those "unfortunate illegal Hispanic aliens".
You know....the ones that the Democrats, and RINOs like McCain, want to give unconditional amnesty to.

EVERYTHING I have just stated here are FACTS...

Call me a racist if you like.........I only traffic in the truth.
clarityseeker writes: Monday, October, 19, 2009 7:42 PM
This one-dimensional ideal totally...
...disregards optimum sustainable population numbers. The U.S. is barely meeting their numbers and it is only because of immigration numbers.
Every country in Europe is lagging behind---some more dramatic. For this reason, muslims will be the dominant numbers in Spain, France, U.K. in approximately 50 years.

Have at it,
liberals. You can eliminate even more carbon output by going childless and not breathing.
Speedicut writes: Monday, October, 19, 2009 9:43 PM
surprisingly
Dem/libs already kill their unborn and infirm, spread AIDS, and enable the deadstyle in the black community (see dead boy in Chicago). They even spread their ideals to other countries - ban on DTD so only the Africans die and not the mosquitos and they cheer on strong men as the people die in the streets during elections. Not to mention their aversion to use our military to free the oppressed. So they are certainly doing their part to control population.

However, as Fox points out, the muslems and Chinese are not cooperating.

I second that motion of foxmustang.

Go away.


Foxmustang, I would suggest "flagging" this immature punk.

"Flag as Offensive"--Spawn-tedious
Flag the punk.

This pathetic Liberal needs to get gone.
arch writes: Monday, October, 19, 2009 11:07 PM
Clarity, Foxmustang
No. I think we should allow the offensive character calling itself Spontaneous, to post.

A perfect example of a lib intellect. No better specimen will ever evolve from the slime!
foxmustang writes: Monday, October, 19, 2009 11:33 PM
OMG...
I am soooooo offended.
Spontaneous used the "poo" word.
Do you have any adult words in your vocabulary or did you not get past kindergarten?
Sorry.....I retract the previous question as the answer(s) are obvious.
AliveInHim writes: Monday, October, 19, 2009 11:55 PM
Hey Sponty
Think it might be wise for you to remove your own carbon footprint via a late late late term abortion?

The trees won't mind...

Will consider this sage advice. Hence in a.generation we will have purged this menace from society.
tribeck writes: Tuesday, October, 20, 2009 1:10 AM
Jillian - arent you pleased?
If all liberals had only one kid or fewer kids, wouldn't that make it easier for conservatives to win elections? I thought Jillian would be happy with the news and finally find some 'bipartisanship' in this view.
K.G. writes: Tuesday, October, 20, 2009 1:14 AM
WHAT are they thinking?
The progressives need battalions of enslaved drones to wear out their lives paying for all their loony spending.

Oh! I forgot. They don't REALLY think; they just sit around in their ivory towers day-dreaming about their stupidly immoral schemes.
K.G. writes: Tuesday, October, 20, 2009 1:22 AM
tribeck: That's what illegals are for:
Dem voters.

The early progressives were all about eugenics, cleansing society of the poor and "darker races." That was the original purpose of abortion, as Judge Ginsberg was quick to remind us.

Since abortion is alive in well, especially in the black community, it becomes necessary to import more people of the "darker races." It's ironic, huh?

Those the progressives wanted to get rid of are now found to be an enormous asset: poor people voting Dem. So much for altruism. Now politicians are just content to sit around scarfing up perks bequeathed them by votes from the people they once wanted to "exteriminate."

Great bunch you hang with there.
tribeck writes: Tuesday, October, 20, 2009 1:41 AM
K.G. - compare and contrast
Dark skinned people may be having babies and needing government support but there is a moral case to be made for people who do not correlate the value of life to a specific standard of living. Hence, developing nations have large families.

On the other hand, the 'superior' race of white people, has voluntarily given up on having kids with 'child free marriages' all over europe or by having one kid only. Hence, europe is turning dark skinned and the white people have been reduced to name calling dark skinned people because they '
'dare to have babies'.

Democrats mean well when they fund social programs for the 'least among us', sort of like the biblical message of 'the poor will always be with you' but when conservatives attack the poor people and the needy and name call them - that just comes from a MEAN PLACE and there is no saving grace.

I will hang out with people who focus on social justice any day - even though the outcomes may be questionable - than those who insult and put down the dark skinned poor people. I get the feeling God does not like the MEAN CROWD even when they say they are representing 'family values' and are 'pro life'. Something smells - hateful and unGodly.
tribeck writes: Tuesday, October, 20, 2009 1:53 AM
foxmustang
Once upon a time, americans referred to the Irish immigrants as 'lesser' to be polite but they still came to america and settled down - against the desires of the americans then. Today, can you say O'Reilly, O'Brien etc?

The people you call illegals and you fail to welcome will be the people who hire your grandchildren or great grand children someday. They too will rise up against the tide and make a life for themselves and by the 3rd generation, they won't need to listen to your anger or anyone elses because they will have accomplished their goal to live in this EXCEPTIONAL NATION.

That is what we the conservatives who can't stand Rush define as AMERICAN EXCEPTIONALISM.
Parker writes: Tuesday, October, 20, 2009 4:05 AM
I like my idea better...
It's only a "thought experiment," said Parker Chandler, a rabid juris naturalist from Ohio.

...probably the single most concrete and substantive thing a kooky, young Environmentalist, who cares so much about saving the planet, could do to lower our carbon footprint is not turning off the lights or driving a Prius, it's simply commit suicide and DROP DEAD!

Makes me want to puke. The enviro whackos don't have an effing clue what makes the world go 'round.

don't sweat it!
Good comments...made me lol!

This is all a mute point anyway..with the Chinese owning our economy ..when they take over they will only allow us one child per couple anyway so don't sweat it!

Hey Paddy o -- by 2020 with 37 million men and not enough womenin China.... it may not only be the happiest place on earth like Disneyland it may be the GAYEST place on earth!

You've got that right. At that, the ChiComs prefer males to females so we at least are all right, having three sons to our one daughter... :P

Never learned the lesson that the power to tax is the power to destroy.

Or maybe he did learn it.
