Among the items to be banned from any family feast, green bean casserole is one of the least offensive. I'm all in favor of bans of
For some other good advice, you may be amused byThanksgiving Letter to the Family 2016
You forgot the crushed potato chips, ya communist moonbat hippie traitor.
Banger will want to know how you define “communist moonbat hippie traitor.”
Why don't you tell us, Pear?
At a bare minimum, "communist moonbat hippie traitor" = "one who promotes a green bean casserole recipe that does not include a crushed potato chip crust." On that we can all agree.
As time goes on it appears the hippies have been right about damn near every thing.
I'd like to see how Pear defines "radical environmentalist."
Al Gore
If people had followed Gore's climate policy recommendations, or if the Supreme Court hadn't stolen the election from him, we might not now be losing the Florida coastline, island communities, and decimating our agricultural economy. Those radical environmentalists in the US military, the biggest oil companies, and most of the civilized countries of the world know that climate change is real, and we must act.
USA prints the NASA satellite maps showing world land temperaure net change for the last decade:
Al Gore was right. Your grandchildren, along with everybody elses, will pay the price for not listening to his warnings.
You don't see a certain poetic justice in Florida sinking into the sea? Of course, Scalia and Rehnquist are not around to see what they brought upon us. (Although they did live long enough to see the disaster that was the Iraq War.)
And by the way, thank you Ralph Nader! He played his part in giving us George W. Bush.
Well said, MJ. See, you and I can agree on something.
As for Pear, the prudent conservative takes steps, even if the science is not 100% clear.
Once again, Pear, I refer you to this web site:

You might also spend some time reviewing in more detail what led President Reagan to sign the Montreal Protocols treaty in 1987.
Reagan the environmentalist!
Funny how events of the last 38 years have made even Ronnie look like a tree hugger.
I'm old enough to remember Reagan claiming that trees and bushes (the shrubs, not George H.W.'s family) were major contributors to air pollution.
R & R: Reagan, like all recent presidents, except the current one, was a mixed bag on conservation issues. Yes, he made some silly comments and he did give us James Watt as Secretary of Interior for a while. But, he signed the Montreal Protocols. Another little known fact about Reagan is that he signed more wilderness bills into law than any other president, to date.
I think Trump will go down, in history as well as infamy, as the worst president, by far, when it comes to reasonable and common sense environmental protections.
An extra little known fact: the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge was first created by another Republican president, Dwight D. Eisenhower.
IIRC, our junior senator's first order of business in the upper chamber was to open ANWAR for the Koch? That said, Nixon gave us the EPA (sans the scourge of TSCA), Papa Bush delivered the first market-driven cap-and-trade program (acid rain) to great success. Papa Bush also tried to battle API over aromatics, which cause a couple-hundred billion dollars in indirect health costs each and every year.
Jr gave TX one of the most aggressive renewable energy standards in the nation (ERCOT is a model we should all we looking at) a national RFS and the Bush Supreme Court declared CO2 a pollutant.
Nixon gave us the Endangered Species Act and the National Environmental Policy Act. NEPA by itself gave average citizens a greater voice in lands decisions and took the planning process out of the smoke-filled backrooms dominated by the extractive industries.
Bush Sr.'s EPA administrator vetoed the notorious and bigly unnecessary Two Forks Dam project here on the Front Range.
I guess I will be the one to find your equivalency piece sickening and repulsive. So the racial hate that generates murder of thousands of people every year can be made light of by your clever diversion?
Let me hear you defend the real targets of hate. People of color, women, the gay community, scientists, Muslims, etc. ad infinitum. Until you do, you are an empty shell of a human being, completely undeserving of sympathy or attention.
You are not funny.
I should have known that I couldn’t get anything past you. You clearly recognized my missive was a dog whistle to spread racism through the world of vegetables. Be very afraid of the vegetables you put on your plate and what that may say about you. You will certainly want to avoid anything white, like mashed potatoes and gravy, pork chops, white meat turkey, ice cream, whip cream, marshmallows, navy beans, cucumbers, bread……. have a happy Thanks Giving.
I think Roger's piece was a delightful piece of humor. Come on, Duke, a good laugh two or three times a year won't kill you.
Pear occasionally makes some sense. I get my "humor jollies" from reading posts by Moderatus. Too bad he hasn't been around since the election.
Sorry, V. No sense of humor when it comes to that. Making fun of resisting hate in this country, no matter how cleverly contrived, is designed to do just what "Pear"admitted there. Trivialize opposition to the assault of the nationalist (read: fascist) right on humanity.
Unless you have gotten to know someone who doesn't resemble the person Powerful Pear presents him to be, I will let you be amused as you will, and I will pass. Enjoy your holiday.
