Moonbats: Pittsburgh Could Turn Into Alabama
Fear-mongering moonbats have been trying to terrify residents of Western Pennsylvania by warning that if they do not start drinking the global warming Kool-Aid, their state will turn into Alabama.
Squawks Jerry Melillo, director of the Ecosystems Center at the Marine Biological Laboratory in Woods Hole, Taxachusetts:
It's up to you to decide if your children will live in a Pittsburgh like Pittsburgh […] or an Alabama-like Pittsburgh.
Scary stuff. What could be worse, from a liberal elitist's point of view, than Alabama, land of flag-waving, pickup-driving, Skynyrd-playing rednecks? So abandon your modern ways, Pennsylvanians! Throw away your car keys, unplug your appliances, climb up in a tree, and pray Gaia forgives your sins! After all, it's up to you to determine the weather — and you sure wouldn't want it to be warm like it is in Alabama.
On a more somber note, Brian Hill of the Pennsylvania Environmental Council is pleased to announce that legislation to address climate issues has been introduced, and the governor plans to announce a climate change strategy.
We have no control over the climate, but we are perfectly capable of destroying the economy in the name of moonbattery.

On a tip from Reid.

As I've heard in the past, in PA, you have Pittsburgh to the west and Philly to the east, everything in between is already Alabama.
So, instead of people in Pittsburgh retiring and moving south, they can stay put and the weather will just move to them? I can see how they will be furious about this.

PA is already stuffed full of old geezers, we dont want any more!
Raspy voice Governor Moonbat Casey is trying to tax the oil companies to death and is trying to bring socialized medicine to the state; so far Republicans have stopped him. I was somehow hoping Lynn Swann, former Steeler receiver, would unseat this joker. Alas it didnt happen. Now Governor Moonbat is going to mess up PA even worse than it is by raising taxes causing more people to flee the state. Its pure hell living in a Blue State.
I saw that article on the Pittsburgh Post Gazette website and couldnt stop laughing; same old crap thats repeated every month or so for the last 2 years. That paper is only slightly to the right of the Daily Worker. The idiot weather men cant even get the 5 day forecast right, yet these jokers think the same scientists are right about climate change now when they were claiming the coming Ice Age 30 years ago? Its only a matter of time, and few cold winters, before the pendulum swings back the other way.

What gets me is that these environmentalists will dangle some scaremongering scenario in front of people and tell them we have to implement draconian measures or else our children and our children's children will suffer. Well, how about this: what sort of legacy will we bequeth to our progeny by taking the freeest country on earth and turning it into some kind of environmentalist totalitarian dictatorship? Personally, I'd like to bequeath to future generations a free country where they can decide freely what they wish to do and how they want to act by their own convictions and not the convictions of every last moonbat that can force their personal beliefs and agenda on everyone else through the force of government.

Not to be snarky, but is Pittsburgh that great? I seem to remember it being the butt of jokes not that long ago.

I live in Birmingham and I see Pennsylvania tags year-round on I-65 heading to Gulf Shores for sun and fun. Who the hell goes to Pittsburgh or Philadelphia for vacation? Only the environmental elitists prefer Pennsylvania the way it is, polluted, industrialized, and cold, all the rest can't wait to excape to Alabama.
Idiots....I swear!
Posted by: Ed at July 12, 2007 1:17 PM
You guys kill me.
I get a kick out of the fact that you bash politcians who want to tax oil companies - as if you posters here are multi-millionaire oil magnates or any other kind of multi-millionaire.
Its a hoot.
Posted by: G. at July 12, 2007 1:48 PM
Ed,
Not to burst your red state bubble - but... Alabama is a backwater state. Everyone knows that.
AL or MS - which one is more backward?? Its a close call.
Posted by: G. at July 12, 2007 1:51 PM
I'm from South Alabama. All those condos you see in that picture, and 90% of all the homes in that area, are owned by snowbirds(yankees). They flock down here like geese.
We don't really mind though. Come, fish, enjoy..
but keep your liberal crap at home.
Posted by: Dave at July 12, 2007 1:56 PM
Dave,
I will not be going to AL - they probably lynch gays down there like they used to do to blacks.
No thanks.
Posted by: G. at July 12, 2007 2:08 PM
Actually, we get along quite well with blacks down here. Mexicans too if they are legal. But thanks for your concern. It's nice to know you view the world like it's 1955.
We quit lynching blacks when we switched from the Democrat party to the Republican party.
You're not coming to visit?
Now you've upset me. I was sooo looking forward to seeing your pasty skin in a g-string.
Posted by: Dave at July 12, 2007 2:19 PM
Dave,
That is just a party label you switched - the mentality among the GOP there now is the same as the mentality then.
I do not even own a bathing suit. Haven't been to the beach in over 10 years.
I definitely do not view the world like it is 1955. My point was that AL does.
If I were to go there, and assuming I weren't bashed in the head for being gay, do you think I could go to ta tractor pull or watch some hillbillies sitting around a trailer park - for a cultural experience?
Posted by: G. at July 12, 2007 2:24 PM
I guess you're right. We are the only state left with no gays. We were tied with Mississippi, but they got themselves one last year.
BTW, I'll match your "hillbilly" with a "fag" and raise you a "homo".
Grow up dude. No one cares if your gay. Just learn to live with it and stop thinking that's who you are. It's only your sexuality, not your identity.

I guess you havn't been to Pittsburgh in the last 30 years or so. It's occasionally cold, but polluted and industrialized it ain't.

G,
Down here, when someone gets rear-ended, we assume it's a car wreck.
Why don't you take your obstinate attitude and low regard for your fellow Americans and pack it up your ass, if it is not full already.
Posted by: Eneils Bailey at July 12, 2007 3:23 PM
>>>Everyone knows that.
Lamest retort in the history of the world.
G., your insistance on repeating stupid steriotypes is nauseating! I just makes me want to put on a hood and burn a cross!
Er, I mean, uh.... oh crap.
Posted by: KHarn at July 12, 2007 3:26 PM
G - the liberal's liberal - open minded, no pre-(mis)conceptions, tolerant, un-bigoted - and dumber than a creosote post without the creosote.
Alabama's schools may not be the best in the country, but at least they are better than California's.
While you come join us in the Heart of Dixie to get a better education than you have gotten to date, you flaming twit, feel free to join us bumpkins at The Seventh Largest Shakespeare Festival in the world.
If you promise to be good, you may join the aduts on the veranda of the double wide for a feast of grits and moonshine after.

Eneils Bailey,
Pack it up my ass? That's a real good one.
Pack something down your throat so nobody has to hear you.
Posted by: G. at July 12, 2007 3:40 PM
Louis' Lues,
I forgot about moonshine - I am there!!!
Posted by: G. at July 12, 2007 3:44 PM
G,
Yuk, Yuk,
Stop slandering everyone you encounter on the subject at hand while you hide behind your frilly veil of homosexuality.
This debate started over some liberal's comment about climate change and the threat that not abiding by Comrade Gore's universal plan would send you into a third-world existence.
I have news for you, we even wear shoes and have obtained electrical appliances down here.
Think about what this moonbat's statement is intended to do, appeal to the lowest instinct in your miserable soul, and he has succeeded.

Eneils Bailey,
Maybe Al Gore is right - despite the fact that you disagree with his politics.
Maybe the Greenland ice cap will melt and NYC will end up at the bottom of the new ocean floor along with Boston, Miami, AL, MS, TX - and our economy becomes crippled.
Posted by: G. at July 12, 2007 4:20 PM
And maybe magic unicorns will come down from the planet of fairies and bring us ice cream.
There is no ideal Earth temperature. The Global Warming likes to think there is. And by some strange coincidence, the Earth's ideal temperature and climate are... the conditions that prevailed when boomers were in their prime years. Wow! What an amazing coincidence.
The problem isn't Global Warming, it's global narcissism. The Earth's temperature has varied vastly over the millennia. (Ever hear of the Ice Age?) It's only arrogance and narcissism that compels people to believe there is an ideal Earth temperature, and that humans have the power to set the global thermostat.
Posted by: V the K at July 12, 2007 4:36 PM
G,
My point here is not Algore, it is your behavior.
"despite the fact that you disagree with his politics."
And you got that right, Algore's global warming is not science, but pure politics.
Dance around, all you like in your pink tutu.
"Maybe the Greenland ice cap will melt and NYC will end up at the bottom of the new ocean floor." In some people's eyes, that would not be a big loss. You really don't want to bring the Greenland icecap into this debate. Scientific evidence from the ice cores there have revealed much larger temperature variations have taken place in the past. Did your bunghole buddies ten thousand years ago drive around in SUV"s. No.
"and our economy becomes crippled" Our economy becomes crippled if Americans take Algore and fools like you seriously.
Posted by: Eneils Bailey at July 12, 2007 4:36 PM
Eneils Bailey,
Did my "bunghole buddies" ten thousand years ago drive around in SUV"s.
Geez - I never looked at it that way before. You may have a good point there. Has anyone ever told you that you might just be a genius?
Posted by: G. at July 12, 2007 5:02 PM
G,
"Has anyone ever told you that you might just be a genius?"
Why yes, they have.
Has anyone ever told you that you are a terribly misguided idiot? If they have not, they have missed a grand opportunity to help a fellow human being and you have missed a chance for personal introspection.
Posted by: Eneils Bailey at July 12, 2007 5:13 PM
Eneils Bailey,
["Has anyone ever told you that you are a terribly misguided idiot?"]
No they have not. Thousands of people I have known and no one has ever said that to me - not until you.
I wonder who is right?
Posted by: G. at July 12, 2007 5:25 PM
G,
"No they have not. Thousands of people I have known and no one has ever said that to me - not until you."
Billions of flies eat shit every year, I don't.
I don't care if you suck it up before breakfast, take one for the boys before lunch, or put on a weenie roast in the afternoon, how about trying an intellectual statement without blasting other people for whatever reason because they don't like queers like you.

Are there any liberals in this world who have an inkling of an understanding of economics? If you tax the oil companies, then they will have to raise the price of gasoline. It will come out of our pockets, Einstein. It is precisely because we are not oil magnates that we don't want any more taxes!
Part of the reason that gasoline prices are so high is that a large chunk of it is ... can you guess ... state and local TAXES!

Eneils Bailey,
You don't like me? I like you. I would not normally interact or give the time of day to a hillbilly in my everyday life. Blogging makes it acceptable for some reason.
I like you b/c you are entertainment and a curiosity. Like going to the zoo.
Posted by: G. at July 12, 2007 5:58 PM

Ever been to Alabama, Princess? Didn't think so. Try getting out of your San Freakistan bubble and see what the rest of the country looks like. It just may shatter those stereotypes. You know, stereotypes? Those things that you so abhor hearing from other people?
Dipshit.
Posted by: Crush Liberalism at July 12, 2007 6:03 PM
"Like going to the zoo."
Heard you like to play zoo.
You bend over and growl, and the boys throw the meat to you.
G, you are OK, you just use the old left strategy of discrediting personal attributes when failing to respond to the substance of the argument.
G, not meaning to ignore you, but everyone should go over to NewsBusters and read this from Diane Sawyer.
Diane Sawyer: "You know, I wanted to sit on a jury once and I was taken off the jury. And the judge said to me, 'Can, you know, can you tell the truth and be fair?' And I said, 'That's what journalists do.' And everybody in the courtroom laughed. It was the most hurtful moment I think I've ever had."
Does that not speak volumes about the network news readers.

I don't live in San Francisco - I have not visited there in over 10 years.
But to be honest with you I prefer to visit areas where there are educated, intelligent people, culture [not WWE and tractor pulls], national league sports teams.
AL is not on the list.
Posted by: G. at July 12, 2007 6:35 PM

I must admit, for a biased and bigoted bugger, G, you have raised the Argument From Ignorance to an art form.
Posted by: Louis' Lues at July 12, 2007 6:50 PM
G,
You ever been to a tractor pull? It's our sport.
Don't you dare insult WWE, it's our form of opera. The funny thing people like you think it is fake, tell that to a wrestler's face and you will find out how real it is.

Geez, now wrestlers are right-wingers? Holy shizit, Queenie, you are an obtuse, unintelligent f#ckwit.
Posted by: Crush Liberalism at July 12, 2007 7:20 PM
Crush
Easy there, it might not be political - please note G neither said how heavy the weights are - a five lb dumbbell is a weight, after all - nor why s/he/it wanted the wrestler in his face, nor what parts of said wrestler s/he/it wanted in his/her/its face.
Having seen WWE wrestling that could be a whole lot of things too terrible to contemplate.
Posted by: Louis' Lues at July 12, 2007 7:29 PM
After that last comment, G., I'm thinking you might just be Andrew Sullivan, if Ace's last ost on that jackass was true. Bodybuilder...suuuuure. And besides, a "right-wing bigot" would most likely just shoot your silly ass.

Oh, goody, you have faked my name - can I now stamp my feet and have a temper tantrum as you did yesterday ?
Perhaps you would rather take to your fainting couch and play the dying swan over the cruel comment - but face it, G, if you don't want to be the butt, don't be your own straight man.
I hope you don't swoon over that inadvertent pun.

I said the opera thing about WWE in the above post. By the reply of "G" I am convinced he is a troll, perhaps a welcome troll. I was guilty of trolling myself, expecting a VERY stereotypical, yeah I got an over the top response.

You are not buying it.
So it was intentional? Maybe even a left wing conspiracy.
I don't know how it happened - I am assuming I somehow accidently pasted it when I posted.

Don't be a bigger ass than you have already shown yourself to be.
Whether you are a troll or a froll is immaterial - I am guessing by your general lack of wit, poor language skills, and other factors, that you are maybe 16 or 17.
Regardless, you still exhibit all the traits of a typical lefty. I may be a bit redundant here, but you are smug, arrogant, condescending, superior, supercilious (all those without any cause to be), biased, close-minded, insulting, and ignorant.
Alas, those are your good qualities. You are also a whiny little snot.
You feel free to insult and make slurs about anyone you want, but if it happens to you, you take the vapors. You have a hissy fit when a goon posts under your name. You get busted doing the same thing and we get a four year old’s excuse – wasn’t me – no clue how that happened, old chap. Maybe “accidentally” cut and pasted your name.
Horsecrap – it is easier to believe the FSM touched you with His Noodly Appendage and caused you to do it.
Now, getting back on topic for this thread, if you want to open that tiny and closed mind of yours and even try to discuss the relative merits of Alabama – which, BTW, has gay pride parades without a single lynching – fine, if not, go home (or more likely upstairs) and tell your mother she wants you.

If Pittsburgh transformed into an "Alabama" then
