What are the funding figures for those proving climate change... just out of curiosity?
In the interests of a balanced argument - [ClimateGate](http://joannenova.com.au/global-warming-2/climategate-30-year-timeline/)

Sometimes the truth hurts, it’s not ok for the big companies to have this much power it makes me super sad and I don’t think we can fix it. Load up your guns and kill the Exxon executives and their heirs to the companies (i.e. children and grandchildren) |
That is complete myth. These companys have billions invested in alternative energy, the only projects they try to sink are the competing ones being built with tax payer money. Like any other profit driven company in America does. I see it everyday. Don't tell me it's myth. |
We have certain 'cultural areas' in the US where the residents have a very high percentage of murderous thugs among them. IIRC, this cultural demographic commits about 50% of all murders, and takes casualties at just under that.

Explain why oil has increased so much since the beginning of 2000. The costs of producing the oil have not increased by 300 percent. It's basically wall street raising the price of crude oil because of fears. Why raise the price until those fears materialize? >producing

I wish I could see a poll that breaks down who is buying the ammo. Like party affiliation, gender, race, what region of the country they live in etc...I'd be real curious to know. Southern, white, male, paranoid Republicans.
And also neckbeard armchair reddit militias. |
Yeah, there's no more sure-fire way to create jobs than to employ a philosophy we tried for ten years straight in the 1930s with no success. Ace has never found anything from the Left he doesn't slavishly worship and adore. |
This was pretty painful to listen to. Is his audience 7 year olds here? I see what is trying to be done here and I'm glad this pisses off the republicans but sweet jesus this is a bit patronizing.

Not as much as the other side, based on how much they talk about taking it from people who have slightly more than they do. Bingo. Bring up unions and watch normal folk refer to them as thugs. |
Oooooh! A liberal circlejerk in /r/politics.
*getting popcorn ready* Oooohhh. A conservative with nothing to add to the conversation. Paint me surprised. |
Having assault weapons is civil rights? Can you elaborate why assault weapons = civil rights? (I'm not trying to provoke you, I'm hoping you'll explain to me your point of view). "Arms" are not specified in the 2nd Amendment, thus, I must have the right to any and all "arms" that I may want. You can have my home-made... |
Sort of irrelevant to the larger point though isn't it. Reply hazy. Try again. |
A rifle IS NOT easier to aim than a shotgun. That is completely ridiculous and it is completely aside from the fact that you can have a shotgun and a rifle of equal length. Anyone making this claim has very clearly never fired either weapon. Hell, most shotguns don't even have a rear sight because they are so easy to a... |
Ha, and all we hear are crickets after your comment. The problem is, Obama knows he can say whatever the hell he wants and the media will only report what he SAYS he said, not what he actually has done or said in the past... without any questions or fact checking. Obama is trying to destroy the republican party, and he... |

Is it really any wonder that players like Biden and Obama can politically outmaneuver a bunch of semi-literate freepers and NRA lobbying shills? Not really. Triangulating the right wing of America is like shooting fish in a barrel. Obama and Biden have been doing it masterfully for years.

At least that's what the media is told to tell you. Don't be a fucking idiot, open your eyes to obama's tyranny. Why are people downvoting you? This is Nazi USA. Americans, You have no more rights. None. Open your eyes. |
And somehow the majority of Americans go to college, own smartphones, and consume enough foodstuffs to get diseases of excess.
Wat do? Make it illegal to hire people that aren't worth 9$ an hour so they eat less is a good start. |
Why not just embrace all democrat principles that way elections would just be about people's favorite color. LOL |
Your false sense of morality will lead this party into the wilderness and never to return. I wish I could "like" this comment. Seriously, it's perfect. |
Right now I could disclose publicly available information about /u/xxxxx. It's publicly available information provided by the ATF that reddit almost certainly has a right to know about since he is using that license to sell assault rifles on reddit.

Ann Coulter vs a room full of libertarians
Can they both die off? That would be the greatest thing ever. How tolerant of you.
You must be very liberal. |
There is nothing wrong with having faith in God. With the number of downvotes you got for simply stating a neutral (i.e. not negative) opinion of religion, I had to check to make sure this was in /r/politics, and not /r/atheism
Seriously, people? |
Contentment is the biggest crutch in America right now. From the poor, to the corporations, to the government, just at different levels.

Please send the drones after every member of Congress who voted in favor of DOMA. Agreed. The irony is FANT-FUCKING-TASTIC!!!
A president that thinks it's constitutional to kill Americans just because he says so, is the same president that thinks something is unconstitutional.
HA HA HA HA HAAA!!!!! |
That is hilarious, though. Came here to say this, but I'm kinda glad I didn't cause people's downvoting you.
People need to stop being so butthurt, downvotes are for saying you dislike something someone said lol. |
For a party that says they LOVE democracy, they sure HATE democracy.
[Warning signs of Facism](http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ToNpS1dbero/TOmfiGVvXCI/AAAAAAAAAIY/_UZH2Juj4zI/s640/early+warning+signs+of+fascism.jpg) WOW! Minus one or two things, you just completely described Obama and the democrats! |

I've seen it brought up more than a few times where you didn't deny it, why the shift? I either ignored the post entirely because I was flooded with similar comments or they didn't say I did it for karma. That's an important distinction, even if you can't understand why. |

Entitled doesn't feel like the right word, but I feel like the person who faked cancer doesn't have any room to talk. You don't know the whole story, you have no room to criticize me at least until you find out and decide for yourself what went down.

Some people have some wacky ideas about the second amendment, like it justifies any weapon they want to buy. I have an inherent right to defend myself and my family from violent criminals flying Apache helicopters. |
As an "American-Israeli" Anarchist, I can't figure out why this is here. I've seen it on r/Israel, /r/Worldpolitics, and probably other subreddits, but what's the point here?

r/politics digs up shit from 2004 in a desperate attempt to blame the sequester on republicans.

This should be the top comment. Yeah, but it's reddit and most people here are left leaning idealists who don't like to hear that liberalism is just as bad as conservatism. I guess it's to be expected from a site with most users in their early 20's. Ah, to be young and full of ideals. |
No. They need to take responsibility for their actions and raise that child. I'm not going to pay my money to get some little hussie laid.

This feels even worse when you look at the numbers of representation. Each house seat represents about 700,000 constitutents.

Wrong. The GOP rejected Obama's offer of $1.2 trillion dollars in new taxes, set to take effect immediately coupled with non-binding promises of future spending cuts. Promises of future spending cuts mean nothing. It means a lot on r/politics |

Did I just watch a Congressman act like a child on national television? I could care less about Hannity and Fox News (or any mainstream news, for that matter), but I can't believe an elected Congressman just behaved in such a manner... You're getting downvoted by people who didn't even watch the clip. |
Yeah he got thrown off because he acted like a rude piece of shit on live TV! Thanks for taking the downvotes. I watched the clip and thought the same thing, then resolved that I would get massively downvoted for stating this observation. Now I will only get a few downvotes for agreeing with you. Thanks again. |
I am not a fan of Hannity, but when a talk show host invites you onto their show you should show a bit if respect even if you disagree with them. This is the difference in having a strong opinion on a subject and being a rude asshole. This post is why Democrats lose. |

So what? Is this "relevant" because they're black people from Chicago? Libtardians try really hard not to appear racist by bringing in black viewpoints whenever they can.

It was awkward to have a song about America being sung in other languages. It would have been much better if it was all in English showing that we are a melting pot where all races are united as Americans. It's not a melting pot, it's a white nation that is being overrun by foreign invaders. |
