You know all of this crap really pisses me off!! Why can't these liberal nazi's try to find out a better way to organize their time and trying to find a reasonable solution, instead of always point the effen finger at every body else!! >:< And I bet about 75% of these liberal nazi's are driving a SUV of some sort......You don't see the Hollywood Celebrities driving a Ford Focus do you?? :roll: No they have to have their bling bling...damn hypocrites!!! >:< >:<
Liberal Nazi? Isn't that a paradox?

Funny thing there. Today's liberals are pretty much leftist type socialists. AS far as the wacko's we are talking about anyway.
The Nazis were socialist as well. The term Nazi itself is short for the National Socialist German Workers Party. In German of course.
Granted the Nazis are now considered to be right wing but the key word is socialism.
Die Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei
The Fuel Cell one is not a good answer if you ask me..
All these cars spewing out water vapors.. You know how much humidity that is? You know what that would do to our deserts?

SUVs are the transportation of SATAN!!!
Yup, It's all our fault! What is wrong with us wanting to live comfortably and drive around in those huge (safe) SUVs. We should all just sell our SUVs and buy 1981 Datsuns like **** sky! :roll: It's funny, MOST of the eco-elite seem to be fairly well off. So I imagine that they are not living in highly concentrated population habitats (i.e. slums)! And they're not all driving high mileage micro transports! After all those H2s and Limos cost major bucks! But if the rest of us (cattle) would just make a few concessions and live a little less exorbitant life, then the elitist could live high on the hog and WE could all "help" the environment!

The Anti-SUV President?
Buying a vehicle with better fuel economy can be an act of peace.
It would reduce US dependence on nations holding the world's largest oil reserves, where terrorists can find support (Saudi Arabia), possibly pick up a weapon of mass destruction (Iraq), or be given money and arms for fighting Israel (Iran).
That simple message seems to be making limited headway with the US auto industry, American consumers, and the Bush administration. Even a religious group has jumped on this slow-moving bandwagon with an anti-SUV television commercial that asks viewers: "What would Jesus drive?"
The latest advance, if that's what it can be called, is rules proposed by the Bush administration that would require automakers to raise the gas mileage of sport-utility vehicles, pickups, and minivans by 7 percent, or 1.5 m.p.g., by 2007. The proposal, which would not be final until April 2003, may not last through all the power jockeying on this issue.
Many industry experts say Detroit can raise the mileage even more than that proposed small amount but that companies are reluctant to do so because it would cut into high profit margins they now earn for the larger vehicles. (Those profits help make up for not competing well with smaller Japanese cars.)
Ford, GM, and DaimlerChrysler all committed themselves to higher mileage two years ago, despite their PR that stiff standards would force them to make vehicles less safe and far too expensive for consumers.
President Bush's weak proposal could just be his way of fending off criticism of a likely presidential contender, Sen. John Kerry (D) of Massachusetts, who wants a 50 percent increase in fuel economy by 2015.
Detroit is banking on technological advances - such as engines that shut down half the cylinders while cruising, or a more efficient transmission - to achieve about 5 to 10 percent gains in mileage. Up to now the pressure for Detroit to change has come from either the government standards or from Japanese carmakers who are winning over buyers who want better mileage.
Adding an antiterrorism theme to this movement against big SUVs and hefty pickups might persuade more Americans to think twice before putting lifestyle ahead of country.
How much will Bush, the antiterrorism president, buy into it?

When all those actor/activist types start walking to the Oscars/Emmies/Grammies/other award shows instead of riding in gas guzzling Limoes, maybe we can take them serious when they complain about SUV buyers. :shocked:
