Not data, just guesses.

I said “our country, at its founding COULD be considered libertarian.” I supported that notion with a quote from one of our founding fathers advocating for a light hand from government and personal responsibility. That sounds libertarian to me.

Our country at is founding could be considered libertarian. “That government is best which governs least, because its people discipline themselves." TJ

You are overthinking this. If no offense was intended none should be taken, is a good rule of thumb. I know that many Lefties feel it is their station in life to be offended for others, I am just not going to play that game.

Only if one considered “gay” as a derogatory term, which I don’t.

Or confirm them

“In its historical origin, however, the word squaw is perfectly innocent, as current dictionaries also correctly indicate: squaw comes from a language of the Algonquian family in which it meant "woman.''

Of course, as I said I care. “feathering” the blades during peak feeding hours for one however this greatly reduces the power output of the turbines and further contributes to the problem of intermittency

You have no idea of what I care about “Bats are something of a one-species stimulus program for farmers, every year gobbling up millions of bugs that could ruin a harvest. But the same biology that allows the winged creatures to sweep the night sky for fine dining also has made them susceptible to one of Pennsylvania's fastest-growing energy tools. The 420 wind turbines now in use across Pennsylvania killed more than 10,000 bats last year -- mostly in the late summer months, according to the state Game Commission. That's an average of 25 bats per turbine per year, and the Nature Conservancy predicts as many as 2,900 turbines will be set up across the state by 2030…Bats are nature's pesticide, consuming as many as 500 insects in one hour, or nearly 3,000 insects in one night…In all of Pennsylvania, bats saved farmers $277.9 million in estimated avoided costs.” Pennsylvania is where I live, don’t tell me I don’t care. This situation is only going to get worse as PA plans to increase the number of turbines X6.

“Facts that threaten my world view? Dude, I reject those facts and since I have no way of dealing with the uncomfortable truth you just laid out, I will just have to attack the messenger…….Dude”

Please explain how the planet’s climate systems can discern emissions per capita vs overall emissions. If per capita emissions are worth mentioning, we should be talking about Montenegro (25.9 tons) not the US (15.5 tons)

“there have been widespread cave closures on federal lands in the eastern United States, where the disease has been most prevalent,” Looks like it is being addressed, now on to wind turbines.

Why would libertarians want to be a part of an institution they want to reduce?

“Although migratory species are among the most numerous casualties, resident bats are also killed in substantial numbers, particularly in forested areas.”

. "I think these people are all kind of nice people. I think they're very naive, and they're all into language and identity. And that's all right. But they're not winning elections…..Some of these people need to go to a 'woke' detox center or something," Carville told Woodruff. "They're expressing a language that people just don't use, and there's backlash and a frustration at that." If you won’t take my word for it ask the architect of Bill Clinton’s electoral victory.

How many large predatory birds or bats do cats kill? “Unprecedented numbers of migratory bats are found dead beneath industrial-scale wind turbines during late summer and autumn in both North America and Europe,” says Paul Cryan, a research biologist with the U.S. Geological Survey. “There are no other well-documented threats to populations of migratory tree bats that cause mortality of similar magnitude to that observed at wind turbines.”

Obvious strawman

That is partially a function of the age of the populations, 36 years old in CA 42 in FL, and as we all know older populations are disproportionately impacted by COVID deaths. It looks as if that mask mandate isn’t working so well.

I actually asked her and she said it was more offensive to be disappeared.

I refuse to concede to the woke mob. It wasn’t a slur until some leftist academic decided it was. I chose my words carefully.

She is not the only one. Let’s not forget the Land O Lakes squaw who was literally removed from her Land O Lake.
