Heartland VP: ‘Yankee taxes’ on global warming will lead to ‘another Civil War.’»

Last Friday, Alexandra Liddy Bourne, Vice President for Policy and Strategy at the global warming denier group Heartland Institute, spoke to the Heritage Foundation. She warned that state-led climate legislation unfairly burdened the South and would lead to “another Civil War here in a short period of time”:

So yet again, the South has to pay on its back the cost of using coal in this country to the northern states. We’re going to have another Civil War here in a short period of time, because the cost is going to go up. So the Southeast has not bought into this because they understand that they’re going to have to pay a very high price. Maryland has decided to sort of stay out of it because they have coal, as is Pennsylvania. They don’t necessarily want to pay Yankee taxes, right?

  4. mary Says:

    This person was speaking at the Heritage Foundation. ‘Nuf said.

    Isn’t there a good think tank we can talk about? You know, one that promotes productive efforts?

    Why does TP give so much space to the likes of the AEI, the Heritage Foundation and all the rest of the tax-exempt propaganda machines and right-wing welfare providers. Although I hear that even the AEI hasn’t hired Alberto Gonzales….yet.

    We need to counteract the propaganda but it feels like we’re just getting mired in smelly muck!

    I have to say that the idea of another Civil War is one of the most creative points posed by the global warming deniers I’ve heard yet. Are they running out of intelligent points to make (not that they ever had any)?

    The South isn’t likely to secede from the Union over this. Whatever they might save in global warming mitigation costs would be more than offset by the federal money they have pouring into their states for other things.

    Sigh, I can’t post the link, but I can explain it. Go to http://www.f—thesouth.com, except fill in the letters those blanks take up…

    Choicest quote from this rant:

    “All those Federal taxes you love to hate? It all comes from us and goes to you, so shut up and enjoy your f—ing Tennessee Valley Authority electricity and your fancy highways that we paid for. And the next time Florida gets hit by a hurricane you can come crying to us if you want to, but you’re the ones who built on a f—ing swamp. “Let the Spanish keep it, it’s a s—hole,” we said, but you had to have your f—ing orange juice.

    The next dickwad who says, “It’s your money, not the government’s money” is gonna get their a– kicked. Nine of the ten states that get the most federal f—ing dollars and pay the least… can you guess? Go on, guess. That’s right, motherf—er, they’re red states. And eight of the ten states that receive the least and pay the most? It’s too easy, a–hole, they’re blue states. It’s not your money, a–holes, it’s f—ing our money. What was that Real American Value you were spouting a minute ago? Self reliance? Try this for self reliance: buy your own f—ing stop signs, a–holes.”

    No evidence of racism on my behalf, but plenty on Obamas. This question has been raised numerous times by many people, and avoided, but why does the left loosely use the term ‘racist’?

    First of all… you don’t know what I want. When I have said anything about raising taxes here, or any other time? I haven’t. That’s just ridiculous on your part.

    Deny job security… tenure… and demote those who are skeptical???????

    What are you talking about? You’re ascribing an awful lot to me that… that… that doesn’t even make sense.

    YOUR comment is incoherent.

    And if you had ACTUALLY read what I post, I hardly ever use profanity, other than the occasional ‘*asshat”, “shite”, or “WTF”.

    Out here in California, PG&E, which is as about corporate as you can get, has gone so green so quickly it’d make your head spin.

    Insurance companies are beginning to factor in the the future risks of global warming into their actuarial charts.

    Sorry, it doesn’t get much more pragmatic and hard-headed than that. Perhaps you’d like to the CEO of those corps they’ve been duped by people like me.

    What does any of this have to do with “leftists” dealing with the money of other people, honeybuns?

    GDumbya has been very good at dealing with the money of other people. No, he hasn’t raised taxes. He’s just blowing the money he’s borrowed in our name from the “other people” in China.

    There is a reason why TP has had a flag button in the comments section. It is so drivel such as yours can be removed in order to save you from displaying your obvious and overwhelming ignorance.

    “… AIG (Charts), the giant global insurer, issued a statement on climate change that says it “recognizes the scientific consensus that climate change is a reality and is likely in large part the result of human activities that have led to increasing concentrations of the greenhouse gases in the earth’s atmosphere.”

    One of them will be President. Hillary is now guaranteed Pennsylvania by a wide margin, she will win Indiana, and the chances are increasing that she’ll win NC.

    There is nothing like Mardi Gras ; and the variety of cooking style(s)in Louisiana is unmatched .

    No wonder everyone views Chimpy as a piece of crap (which he is , actually) ; all his screw-ups are bad enough , but to allow New Orleans to be destroyed is a stain all the apologizing in the world can never clean up………..

    One of them will be President. Hillary is now guaranteed Pennsylvania by a wide margin, she will win Indiana, and the chances are increasing that she’ll win NC. The superdelegates will give her the votes she needs to secure the nomination. I won’t care if she wins the general, but no to Obama.

    Actually, MCMetal, Jason “Reist” Hendler suffers from Aspergers.
    Here’s a list of diagnosis.
    A.Qualitative impairment in social interaction, as manifested by at least two of the following:

    (1) marked impairment in the use of multiple nonverbal behaviors such as eye-to-eye gaze, facial expression, body postures, and gestures to regulate social interaction
    (2) failure to develop peer relationships appropriate to developmental level
    (3) a lack of spontaneous seeking to share enjoyment, interests, or achievements with other people (e.g., by a lack of showing, bringing, or pointing out objects of interest to other people)
    (4) lack of social or emotional reciprocity

    sound familiar?

    I am in favor of using up all of the worlds oil supply as fast as possible. I have no problem paying 6 to 8 dollars for gas. Then there will be a world depression and we will start over from there.

    We, as a country got along without oil for over one hundred years. When Diesel (who designed the engine) he used peanut oil which did just fine. We need to get back to basics.

    I am not sure whether global warming is a natural cycle or caused by pollution but it is warming and soon all of the major port cities in the world will be under about 40 feet of sea water. That will cause a world depression anyway.

    Believe it or not. We are doomed and will have to start over.

    dbadass@108

    National Geographic did a piece on the West Antartic Ice shelf which is resting on a slope and is rapidly sliding toward the ocean. The scientist said that when it slips into the ocean in a few years, probably less than 20, the seas around the world will rise approximately 20 ft.

    The scientists have GPS location receivers on the largest glacier tracking the speed it moves. It is accelerating every day. When it slips into the ocean it will cause seas to rise around 20 ft. also.


  106. dbadass Says:

    Yeah but did they mention the doom?


  107. dbadass Says:

    Oh man I almost missed it. It is ANTARCTIC damn it!!!! This is as annoying as “drive safe”. See now I can no longer take you seriously (or should I say serious?)


  108. MOONBAT Says:

    dbass@112

    What problem do you have with my stated facts? Don’t you believe me or don’ you think if you drop large ice cubes in one ocean that is connected to all oceans around the world, that they would all rise simutaneously. Get real.


  109. dbadass Says:

    MOONBAT:
    I think you are trying to reference Archimede’s principle. I question nothing but your integrity which isn’t my business. See you are implying a very simplistic system, sort of like a bathtub which the oceans are not. I suppose that you think that in the absence of wave the sea is level since that is what happens in said bathtub.

  112. MOONBAT Says:

    dbadass@114

    What do you think is causing the oceans to rise in the last 10 years? Melting glaciers from small to large all over the world. The rushing water under the glacier in Greenland can be seen as a torrent. This was unknown to happen before and is increasing yearly. Under the West Antarctic ice shelf, which is accessable thru a shaft bored down to the dirt a steady increase of water flowing under the ice is causing a greasing effect. As soon as it is slippery the whole shelf will slip into the ocean. I hope this will clarify everything.


  113. dbadass Says:

    Damn It!! It is ANTARCTIC!!! Come on, you want to suggest you have simplified the complexities of global climate to child’s play yet the name of the continent is baffling to you? I call bullshit!

  124. JosephW Says:

    Hey MCMetal, when’s Obama going to explain how he was born 4 years before his parents got together at the 1965 Selma march? When’s Obama going to explain why a “typical white person” is less offensive than being referred to as a “boy” (in a second-hand way)?
    You worthless “progressives” who just looooove to be so “fair-minded” can’t wait to slam the South at every turn yet you just love to ignore the fact that it was LA cops who decided to turn Rodney King into a piñata and that Boston fought school busing with the same vehemence of the 1950s and 1960s Southern segregationists. You tend to ignore the Aryan Nations compounds (and their ilk) that, for some inexplicable reason, love the Pacific Northwest and you love to ignore the fact that the 20th Century’s KKK was as active in the North (activities ranged from New England to the Mississippi River, and even the Pacific Coast saw Klan activity).
    Yeah, it’s easy to see why Obama’s comments in San Francisco had to be “explained” when so many of his supporters (fans?) are just as snobbish about people not like them.


  125. MOONBAT Says:

    dbadass@128

    I just thought that since you engaged in a conversation with me I thought you were concerned about what would happen if the world keeps warming up. I didn’t know that you were just playing around. Plus polar bears would probably eat penguins if someone would transport penguins to the south shores of the arctic sea.

    You made me laugh with that one or you thought I am that stupid. I am going to buy some property about 50′ above sea level and it will be worth a fortune in 20 years. I hope you are located that high. I don’t care what is causing the world to heat up I am retired and have many secure investments and my children and grandchildren are all set. I hope you are too.


  126. dbadass Says:

    Why did you chose MOONBAT? Anyone who is not concerned should probably be. Good luck with your coastal real estate plan. You might want to also consider what latitude you wish this estate to be in what with the arrival of the expanding hordes of pathogens


  127. JosephW Says:

    What I don’t understand though is what in the hell is this woman even trying to say.
    So yet again, the South has to pay on its back the cost of using coal in this country to the northern states. We’re going to have another Civil War here in a short period of time, because the cost is going to go up. So the Southeast has not bought into this because they understand that they’re going to have to pay a very high price. Maryland has decided to sort of stay out of it because they have coal, as is Pennsylvania. They don’t necessarily want to pay Yankee taxes, right?
    “Has to pay on its back the cost of using coal”? Huh? Is this supposed to mean that the coal-poor South is going to go bankrupt paying for Northern coal? Right now, the South (courtesy of all the offshore Gulf of Mexico oil rigs) that’s producing a good chunk of US oil and natural gas. I’m also a bit confused since most “climate legislation” tends to focus on renewable energy resources.
    “Pennsylvania”? Huh? When did Pennsylvania get transferred to being a part of the South? Or is this woman somehow suggesting that Pennsylvania won’t supply coal to Southern states? (The Maryland thing completely eludes me since that state’s coal reserves are pretty negligible.)
    Does this woman not realize that ENERGY RESOURCES had very little to do with the Civil War? Petroleum had been discovered in the United States just a few years before the Civil War and certainly didn’t make that much of an impact on the war’s overall outcome. People relied much more heavily on (get ready for it) RENEWABLE ENERGY RESOURCES, such as hydro power (both from rivers and steam power) and wind power as well as human and animal labor (note that the human labor does NOT simply mean “slavery”).
    No, instead of focusing on this woman’s outrageously bizarre “comments”, far too many people have turned this thread into a “bash the South” forum. But, that’s soooo much easier to do. (Note folks, the reference to the South is purely a work of fiction from what passes for her brain but it didn’t stop a group of “progressives” from thinking that “the South” was supporting her.)


  128. MOONBAT Says:

    dbadass

    Pathogens do not concern me. I have probably breathed more lead paint dust and asbestos (thanks to the US Navy) than the average american. Played with mercury too as a child. I have been very lucky I am not dead yet. Concerning pathogens in the air there are very few places in this country that are dangerous. Those places are usually around refinerys, coal fired plants and they are usuall populated by minorities.
