I am just speculating here, but my guess is that all this wild deflection and projection is because you can't emotionally risk the possibility of any part of your worldview being wrong.  Proof that your understanding of the SCOTUS decision is wrong?  Those wacky liberals!  Al Gore thinks pollution literally put the planet into a giant microwave and we're seeing its light bulb instead of the sun!  And who's going to pay that electricity bill?!

Or maybe you're just addicted to hyperbole.  If that's the case, I urge you to get your fix in a less contentious realm than politics.  Sega 4 life

What did I deflect? What did I project? How am I wrong? I don’t pretend I know everything and have admitted plenty of times when I’m wrong.I’m not wrong about the unions or the EPA though. Don’t talk shit and cry hyperbole when it comes back at you.

Forcing those workers to finance union activity violated the First Amendment, Justice Samuel A. Alito Jr. wrote for the majority. “We conclude that this arrangement violates the free speech rights of nonmembers by compelling them to subsidize private speech on matters of substantial public concern,” he wrote.

Compelled speech, eat it.

You completely ignored the bigger half of my previous post.  You went off on a rant about Al Gore which had nothing to do with anything.  "Fear mongering" lol.  What I said was far, far from worst case scenario, which would be more like the states dismantle their environmental protections as well.  (Instead of problems stemming from areas where state level protections are already weak, propped up by the EPA.) 

The cold fact is that you alleged that the recent ruling prohibited the unions from doing something that the SCOTUS already prohibited 40 years ago in a separate ruling.  And when this was pointed out you went off on a barely coherent rant against Al Gore. 

Let me tell you a little story.  There was a guy on this site called MikeB.  He was a PS3 fanboy who could be interesting to talk to, but you couldn't take him seriously any time the conversation topic was more than a week in the future.  In 2009, he predicted the PS3 would be at 80-100 million in 2012 and 140 million in 2016. 

You are a political fanboy, and worse, you aren't even operating within the same "shared reality" that tied MikeB down to an agreed present-time with the rest of us.  Calm down, take a good hard look at some of the things you are assuming must be true (especially if you are hearing about it from biased sources even if you like them), and look at my signature. 

Get outraged about stuff that is true, not stuff that is false.  Predict stuff that is likely, not stuff that is unlikely.  You will be happier, and we will be happier.

My advice to fanboys: Brag about stuff that's true, not about stuff that's false. Predict stuff that's likely, not stuff that's unlikely. You will be happier, and we will be happier.
