Sorry, I thought I said CO2, not offshore drilling or recycling, etc. Might want to go back and read what I typed again CO2 is not a pollutant, mercury is.

If you vote republican, that's what your supporting. Actions speak louder than words guy.

Also, Co2 is a pollutant. Not only is it a green house gas, but it's also toxic genius. I think you should go breath into a paper bag for a few minutes and test the "theory."

No, it is an asphyxiant. Not classified as toxic. Do you think nitrogen is toxic also? It makes up 78% of the air we breathe. Water is also toxic. Stick your head under water for 15 minutes and then get back with me.

I think the American people have spoken on how they feel about the Republican party! Who is in the White House? "TWICE"?

How long do you think it will take before we start to see major changes in the republican party regarding social views?
"If you aren't a liberal by the time you're 20 you don't have a heart, If you aren't a conservative by the time you're 30 you don't have a brain"

I was a big time liberal up until 27 years old and I voted for Obama in 2008. Now when I consider American politics and the USA socially: I am more in line with Republican values. This change occurred when I began travelling the globe and realized American decadence is an extreme and I started considering what world I want my future children to grow up in.

CO2 is toxic because of the hydrogen ions in co2. If CO2 builds up, so does the concentration of hydrogen ions in the body. This causes the bodies ph levels to drop to unsafe levels. This drop in ph can change the structure of important enzymes in the body that we can't live without.

And yes nitrogen in it's pure form is toxic. Have you never heard of nitrogen poisoning?

The older I get the more conservative I have gotten.


When I was still young I wanted someone to take care of me. As I have aged, I see with that care, comes a lot of control and less individual freedom.

I would say, that Ron Paul opened a lot of liberal eyes to what all politicians do, not just the opposite political party.

Everything is toxic by your definition.

There are Material Safety Data sheets for pretty much every gas on the planet CO2 is classified as non-toxic and non-flammable class 2.2 by the Department of Transportation.

Nitrogen is toxic. That is funny as hell.

A list of known toxic gases, ya ain't gonna find nitrogen or CO2 on it:

Itd be nice to see both parties social views come closer together so that they could be engaged more based on fiscal policy rather than social policy as well. Its not easy making a decision when youre limited to two sides of the coin that have any electability. One you applaud soicially, but dont agree with fiscally and vice versa. It nmight be easy for some of you to say one is more important than the other, but how do i enjoy fiscal freedom without personal freedom? How can good fiscal come into play without decent social policy? And btw I feel both sides are getting it wrong in both areas, just more in tune with aspects of one or the other issue.

Why should we back off? The country is made up of more conservative thinking people (more people describe themselves as conservative) than liberals.

Progressivism is what is destroying Liberty. Progressivism is the enemy of Liberty, and the enemy of America.

I think if you listen to Sarah Palin's CPAC 2014 speech, you'll know why your premise is wrong.
