The minutia of the greenhouse gases and the questionable science on both sides is neither here or nor there. Let’s get Ron Paul into office so we can get rid of the IRS, keep the money we earn, then worry about the environment after we resolve the over-taxation (slavery) that is threatening to destroy this great nation.

I have no problem with that. But hear me out.

1. We burn a shitload of oil.
2. We burn so much we have to depend heavily on the middle east
3. If we were to attain energy independence through alternative biofuels, more efficient cars, solar power, etc. it would benefit the environment greatly.
4. If we were to attain energy independence through alternative biofuels, more efficient cars, solar power, etc. it would benefit our economy and our country because farmers would be making our fuel, which could end the enormous tax subsidies we pay them, and we would stop pouring billions of dollars a day into a region which hates us and is hell bent on our destruction.

This stone kills SO MANY birds. Even if you think one is bullshit, there are still a dozen reasons people should be behind this.
