Thomas Friedman: the proper response to the Boston Marathon bombing is a carbon tax

Boston BombingEh, wot?

Sometimes you just have to think that Leftists are filled with innocent April 1st deception and overall jollity.

Except that Leftists wouldn’t recognize general humor if it walked up and put a nailgun into their heads.

Thomas Friedman, columnist for the New York Times, wrote this past Sunday:

UNTIL we fully understand what turned two brothers who allegedly perpetrated the Boston Marathon bombings into murderers, it is hard to make any policy recommendation other than this: We need to redouble our efforts to make America stronger and healthier so it remains a vibrant counterexample to whatever bigoted ideology may have gripped these young men.

With so many societies around the world being torn apart, especially in the Middle East, it is vital that America survives and flourishes as a beacon of pluralism.

Rebuilding our strength has to start with healing our economy.

So what to do?  We need a more “radical center” — one much more willing to suggest radically new ideas to raise revenues, not the “split-the-difference-between-the-same-old-options center.” And the best place to start is with a carbon tax.

So, when you kill people in Boston, when you kill cops who respond to the threat, the logical response to this is a tax.

All of those who think this is insane, please raise your hands.

    • Leftists make a linkage that disavows reality and gets back to their Talking Points that don’t mean a THING to the Boston bombing.

      WTF??
