Pawlenty calls for phasing out ethanol subsidies — in Iowa

Republican Presidential candidate Tim Pawlenty today called for phasing out ethanol subsidies — in Iowa.

We need more candidates like this, willing to say these kinds of things face-to-face with the very people who benefit from the funding.

Conscious Choice cover

Now available in hardback and paperback as well as ebook!

 

From the press release: In this ground-breaking new history of early America, historian Robert Zimmerman not only exposes the lie behind The New York Times 1619 Project that falsely claims slavery is central to the history of the United States, he also provides profound lessons about the nature of human societies, lessons important for Americans today as well as for all future settlers on Mars and elsewhere in space.

 
Conscious Choice: The origins of slavery in America and why it matters today and for our future in outer space, is a riveting page-turning story that documents how slavery slowly became pervasive in the southern British colonies of North America, colonies founded by a people and culture that not only did not allow slavery but in every way were hostile to the practice.  
Conscious Choice does more however. In telling the tragic history of the Virginia colony and the rise of slavery there, Zimmerman lays out the proper path for creating healthy societies in places like the Moon and Mars.

 

“Zimmerman’s ground-breaking history provides every future generation the basic framework for establishing new societies on other worlds. We would be wise to heed what he says.” —Robert Zubrin, founder of founder of the Mars Society.

 

All editions are available at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and all book vendors, with the ebook priced at $5.99 before discount. The ebook can also be purchased direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit, in which case you don't support the big tech companies and I get a bigger cut much sooner.

 

Autographed printed copies are also available at discount directly from me (hardback $24.95; paperback $14.95; Shipping cost for either: $5.00). Just email me at zimmerman @ nasw dot org.

    This is unconventional rhetoric coming from Pawlenty, and we need more of it. What’s called for is a direct assault on all fuzzy thinking, emotive-minded political rhetoric or this nation is doomed to decline. We need more reasoned, common sense statements from Pawlenty that cut through the 40 years of liberal indoctrination and social engineering of the far-left. This country can’t afford one more minute of living in the purple-hazed pipe dreams of the idealistic 60’s and 70’s flower power generation that pervades media, academia and pop-culture. Unfortulately, those in power are presicely this same generation with its wide-eyed, ecology minded, hands-across-the-world-zeitgeist that is ruining the american experiment. Wake up, Americal!

  • yes i was also impressed by mr. pawlenty’s call for an end to subsidies in iowa . yeh definately unconventional and a hopeful sign . i’m interested to see how this plays out!

    I listened to the Rush Limbaugh interview with Mr. Pawlenty and when he was asked about that speech, his response was “There wasn’t any applause.” The Dems will demogogue this type of rhetoric, but all the Republicans have to do is point out where we are (broke and going downhill fast), and the fact that we’re represented by a man whom, as Netenyahu, Sarkozy, and the Olympic committee demonstrated, no competent leader takes seriously.
