Had to chuckle when I saw one of these bumper stickers on a pickup truck.

Someone please involuntarily commit these leftist morons to insane asylums. The weird thing is that they take themselves seriously. Such moonbat loons.

That last line, “I think everyone should walk to work,” gives me some hope that this whole article was satire.

That's why I'm glad I'm not a satirist. The best satire used to carry individual and societal flaws to an extreme to highlight those problems. Today, the only way to distinguish the two is that satire cannot quite cross the line into absurdity, while reality normally does for liberals.

A true liberal believes that all professional sports should banned for the good of the planet. The fuel that’s burned by race cars is a tiny fraction of the fuel that’s burned by spectators going to all sporting events.

But if all pro sports were banned, Norman “Hanging” Chad would be out of a job.

So, being the idiot and hypocrite that he is, he selectively calls for banning only auto racing.

And like most liberals, Chad surely believes that auto racing fans are knuckle dragging rednecks anyway, so he gives his elitist ego an extra little boost by knocking them.

What if people want to race cars? Shouldn't auto racing be safe, legal, and rare?

Now I know why socialistic countries have almost no form of large scale auto racing events. They have idiots trying to equalize everyone right down to the size of the daily garlic and beet rations, can’t have people grouping in mass of course either, that free will thing can’t exist in either an Islamic or Communist country.

Air conditioning the halls of Congress should cease immediately to save the ozone, members should have their toilet paper rationed to save trees and members should have only smart cars or Segues to get to and from their offices. Let Congress lead by example.

What a homo.

I personally don’t enjoy NASCAR, but I don’t want it to be banned.

>My friends, auto racing is a road to nowhere.

But a bunch of tall steroid dudes throwing a ball into a hoop over and over again is the path to the future, right?

Delivering newspapers in the Internet age is a waste of fossil fuels.

And don't forget all the trees they murder every day.

I am in full agreement with you. The least NASCAR could do is change their name. There is nothing Stock about the cars they are racing.

They are not allowed to race.If someone comes up with a faster car they find out why and then restrict them. That aint racing.

This guy could do his part in reducing greenhouse gases, if he’d just shut his pie hole and quit breathing.

I know, and many are probably endangered species.

"rabid, leftist, environut."

In short, another typical lib sportswriter. Big Media is full of them. Since I was a kid many moons ago, the sportswriting profession has been transformed from people who wrote about sports to wiseacres who write about liberal-agenda driven screeds with sports a secondary consideration. He could write about any major sport as a waste of fuel if he felt like it. They all "waste" fuel and resources. But of course, this nut wants to save the planet. Spare us.

Precisely. If you added up all the emissions from people traveling to any major event and teams flying everywhere, I’d bet you’d find the actual emissions from the race cars itself are miniscule.

We’d be better off shutting down Hollywood entirely. We’d save far more emissions and avoid the horrible cultural pollution they inflict on us. And we would have no anxiety and guilt-ridden stars to cudgel us with their holier-than-thou views. That would be far better for the nation.
