Freedom

Dear Editor,

I’ll never be politically correct. I like my freedom and that brings me back to the New Green Deal and the dreaded internal combustion engine that is responsible for all the woes, according to the climate mongers.

When I was a kid I loved working on cars If we buy into this deal of the New Green Deal we give up our cars and our creativity in building and owning them. We’ve got lots of classics here in Kingman and adjoining areas. We also own lots of SUVs and big four-door pickups.

When I take my dog out walking I see a kaleidoscope of colors of vehicles – four-wheel drives, SUVs, Mustangs, Camaros, Chargers, foreign sports cars. Freedom is what I see. If the socialists win, that’s gone forever. That’s not scare tactics, that’s a God-given truth.

According to the doom fanatics, if we don’t give up our internal combustion engine cars, in 10 years our planet is doomed. Climate change will destroy us, seas will rise 20 feet, it will be ‘Noah’ all over again. It’s nonsense and they know it!

What really bugs me is all the politically correct news media. You might as well say socialist left media, force it down your throat.

The truth is that this from an environmental scientist that does not believe or buy into scare tactics of the left. He says that in the last 100 years the earth’s temperature has risen 1 percent.

I even heard that the Arctic Ocean has risen this winter to 72 degrees. If that were true all the ice would have melted and California would be at least the lowlands 20 feet under water. As far as I know, there are still beaches in California.

Yes, we do have environmental problems. Look at all the garbage deposited in our oceans, that wash up on our beaches. That has not been caused by the internal combustion engine, just by people who are lazy and don’t care about the environment! Wake up America!

Now they want to stop the drilling for oil in the arctic. What the left doesn’t realize is it takes fuel to run our cars and trucks, to get us to work, to bring our groceries to the supermarket. It takes trucks to bring all our goods to Walmart, Smiths, Bashas, Big Five, Ross, the 99 Cent Store.

But the left doesn’t care. The socialists only care that they destroy America as we know it. The socialist system has never worked. It can’t work. Look at what Hitler, Musolini, Stalin did. Look at the wreck Venezuela has become. Shining example of socialism.
