Paul Krugman endorses Moore-Coulter

Max,
Would it be OK if I assumed all conservatives were white supremacists? If not, you should really stop equating liberal with hippie.

"The thing is" there are plenty of anti-scientific views on the left, many of which should not even be in dispute. The whole organic foods, GMO foods, sustainable food religion is one example, as is the attendant hysteria over plastic grocery bags (so much so many communities ban plastic, require the purchase of paper bags, and some will soon require cloth bags).

Sustainability really is a bug in your bed?

Many of these folks have a whole lifestyle based on unscientific beliefs; driving hybrid cars

Seriously? Driving hybrid cars?

insisting on natural fibers for clothing, imagining intolerances to just about every food, fragrance, or vapor in existence.

The mantra of "sustainability" is lifestyle of redemption through the church of the environment. And of course, this secular religion creates pointless sacrifices and inefficiencies for others in the forms of demanding regulations for low usage water shower-heads and toilets, uneconomical sources of power, banning light bulbs, etc.

Oh god help us! Using less water and light bulbs that last for much longer and use much less electricity. The fucking horror! Jebus... I can see you running into the radioactive core of a nuclear power screaming that the Government has no business regulating how much radiation people should be exposed to each day.

Don't be absurd.

Because protofascists have been equating all liberals with hippies for decades, it is now acceptable for us to equate all conservolibertarians with buck-toothed, cross-burning, sister-boinking rednecks who think the world is flat.

You mean who know the world is flat.

Given your Poe act, pretending to be a progressive who can't tell the difference between conservatives and libertarians,

The difference is clear enough. Most non-conservatives and non-libertarians can discern the difference. It's conservolibertarians that can't tell the difference. They go around calling themselves libertarian while espousing a conservative dogma. Hence the name and underseer's tired act.

First off: "conservolibertarians" aren't the topic. We're talking about conservatives using the modern US meaning of the term.

Conservolibertarians are conservatives. They just happen to be attempting to market themselves as libertarian.
