American Consequences - December 2019

FROM OUR INBOX

The consequences of ignoring this crisis are building and are undeniable. If you care about the future of this country, or of the world in general, I encourage you to accept the obvious, and work to support development and industries that will reduce our carbon use. By supporting Green infrastructure and initiatives, you can actually do something good for working people. – Brian R. Steven Longenecker comment: Perhaps, though the Democratic candidates have a funny way of showing how much they like folks in rural areas... who are generally more conservative, more religious, and more likely to own property, a gas-guzzling truck, or a super-scary shotgun. They’re also more likely to be self-employed and intimately familiar with how government regulation makes their lives harder – not easier. Do any of the current Democratic candidates have proposals that might appeal to that group of folks? Hillary Clinton’s “basket of deplorables” comment very well may have cost her the 2016 election. I suspect something similar will happen in 2020... the Democratic nominee simply won’t be able to resist blurting out his or her real opinion of people who live in rural areas. Likewise, no U.S. politician or government policy is ever going to fix the climate. The only way that so-called green infrastructure and initiatives will ever replace other energy sources is when it’s cost-effective to do so.

Court members, is trying to get control of immigration and so on. Looking at the Dem line-up in 2020 the only thing one can conclude is that they have gone absolutely crazy. Batshit, Commie, Nutjob crazy. I plan to vote for President Trump in 2020, and I think there are quite a few like me out there. – Donald W. Buck Sexton comment: Lots of very wise people had their trepidation about Trump at first, but it’s very tough to argue with the results: a roaring economy, markets at all- time highs, unemployment at record lows, relative peace, and overall prosperity. On the other hand, the Democrat Left offers social justice virtue signaling, socialism, and higher taxes. This is not a hard choice in 2020 for people thinking clearly. Donald, glad you are with us. P.J. O’Rourke comment: Donald, I’m not personally much of a Trump fan either, but I hear you loud and clear. I have a businessman friend, an ex-Never-Trumper, who told me, “The Trump administration isn’t so bad if you turn the sound off.” Then he paused for a moment and said, “... and the picture.” Re: ‘You Didn’t Build That’ Redux The Democratic candidates don’t hate the places or the people who live in rural areas, or who make their livings in fossil- fuel-related industries. They are concerned about the effects of climate change.
