Ocasio-Cortez: 'There's no debate' that fossil fuel production should stop
Fox News ^ | 10/12/18 | Lauren Lee

Democratic House candidate Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez rallied an audience of supporters in Washington Thursday evening with calls to implement single-payer health care and tuition-free college – along with an appeal to stop fossil fuel production entirely.

Ocasio-Cortez, who is running to represent New York’s 14th Congressional District, has made no secret of her opposition to fossil fuels. She’s called for politicians to forsake donations from the industry and is pushing a “Green New Deal” plan which entails a shift to 100 percent renewable energy by 2035.

But she cast her position in stark terms Thursday, during a fundraiser at a restaurant along D.C.’s hip 14th Street.

“There’s no debate as to whether we should continue producing fossil fuels. There’s no debate. We should not,” Ocasio-Cortez said. “Every single scientific consensus points to that.”

Puerto Ricans coming to America and bitching about the country also needs to stop. They need to stay home on their island paradise.

Seventh generation Floridian here that wholeheartedly concurs! I'm sick of those morons pouring into my state and bringing the same idiotic voting habits that destroyed their "paradise!" And their gibberish too. When I was growing up, you almost never heard Spanish speaking anywhere. Now, you almost never hear English.

Voting for her is an admission that one is not paying any attention at all.

Whenever I see Ocasio-Cortez I’m reminded of a song long before my time.

Bobby Vee and the Strangers’ “Come Back When You Grow Up.”

The sad thing is she is not lying. She believes this.

She lives in an echo chamber, and never hears a contradiction of the nonsense she is spouting.

She has almost no real world experience to do with anything productive or related to the limits of physical reality.

No science, no engineering, no math, no physics, no chemistry.

She thinks the limits of the possible are whatever she can pass as law.

The stupid is deep with this one. If we can get her to proclaim to give up our vehicles for donkeys, we hold the house for 1,000 years.

Were there no debate she would have no reason to say there is no debate. You say, “there is no debate,” when you are trying to distract from the existence of a lot of debate. It is a debate ploy.

Often wrong, but seldom uncertain. (See also Dunning-Kruger.)
