Conservatives Intentionally Making Their Cars Spew Black Smoke To Stick It To Obama, Liberals
Meet the newest form of Conservative protest: Coal runners. It’s also highly disrespectful to everyone around them and the planet they/we live on. Conservatives in pickup trucks intentionally pour out black smoke into the air, for freedom and stuff. They do this to stick it to liberals and Obama. Seriously.
“Coal Rollers” are diesel trucks modified with chimneys and equipment that can force extra fuel into the engine causing dark black smoke to pour out of the chimney stacks. These modifications are not new, but as Slate’s Dave Weigel pointed out on Thursday, “rolling coal” has begun to take on a political dimension with pickup drivers increasingly viewing their smokestacks as a form of protest against environmentalists and Obama administration emissions regulations, according to Business Insider.

Even worse, this form of protest is gaining in popularity.
Business Insider reports:
Last month, Vocativ noted many coal rollers focus their fumes on “nature nuffies,” or people who drive hybrids, and “rice burners,” or Japanese-made cars.
“The feeling around here is that everyone who drives a small car is a liberal,” a roller named Ryan told Vocativ. “I rolled coal on a Prius once just because they were tailing me.”
Weigel spoke to a seller of coal rolling customization equipment who described why some drivers see spewing smoke as a political protest.
“I run into a lot of people that really don’t like Obama at all,” the salesperson said. “If he’s into the environment, if he’s into this or that, we’re not. I hear a lot of that. To get a single stack on my truck—that’s my way of giving them the finger. You want clean air and a tiny carbon footprint? Well, screw you.”
On a Facebook page which is dedicated to this new form of protest, they’ve garnered about 16,000 followers and over 100,000 rolling coal posts have appeared on Instagram and Tumblr.
With this explosion in online attention, the battles between coal rollers and their environmentalist enemies are playing out in social media pages, Youtube videos and internet comment sections. Many of the rolling coal Facebook pages feature memes (like the one pictured on the right) that mock hybrid drivers and liberals. Coal rollers have also posted videos showing their trucks blasting more environmentally efficient cars with smoke.
Opponents of the practice have also taken to the internet. Weigel noted “a mid-June surge of comments” from progressives attacking coal rolling social media pages in the wake of the Vocativ article. In 2012, one outraged YouTube user posted a video entitled “Victim Of Coal Rolling” that showed a pickup shooting fumes at his car.
“Blow your smoke at me you son of a bitch,” the driver says in the video.
Comments on the pickup driver’s side of the argument weighed in.
Because, Confederate coal.
One alleged human replied, “What a loser you are, ain’t nothing wrong with rolling some confederate coal.”
“Stupid ricers. what were you gonna do you bitch?” another supposed human chimed in.
Conservatives are just awful people. Case in point:
“This is hilarious. And it freedom of expression – lefties want to make everyone drive small underpowered vehicles,” one YouTube commenter wrote. “This is a protest to that ideology, and it’s beautiful.”

Here in California, vehicles that belch black smoke like that get cited with repair & report citations. They have to prove that the condition causing the smoke has been repaired or remediated. This idiotic “protest” wouldn’t last long here. Now, I’m gonna hear from all the idiots who defend this “protest.”
ChristianEconCom July 9th, 2014 at 11:04
And these regressive idiots are mostly in red states dependent on Cali.

This is just their version of the occupy protests in a way; A bunch of idiots providing no productive argument while being a burdon to everyone around them. Its one extreme versus the other….. And the environmental impact? Not even a drop in the bucket carbon-wise, not even a microscopic dot in the bucket really…. If anything this will actually be like free advertising for the clean car movement. Plus, rednecks are just awesome in general so let them have their fun :)

So it forces them to burn extra fuel. Fuel that’s already an arm and a leg to use wisely? Go right ahead “conservative” fools.

It’s an “arm and a leg” because Obama refuses to open America’s oil industry to world competition. Think about this: America overtakes Saudi Arabia as the most prolific oil producer and gasoline prices go up. That could only happen under Obama policies. You are being screwed by this administration and you don’t even know it.

Obama refuses to open America’s oil industry because he thinks that America runs on Dunkin. He, and other ivory tower elites, have no idea how our economy actually operates. They think there is some magical non~emission fuel, and that the secret to finding it is by denying petroleum from the American marketplace.

Get your facts straight. Under Obama we have actually become the #1 in oil production. We are beating Saudi and Russia.

Nothing a little sugar in the gas tank and a pair of pliers to rip out the valve stem wouldn’t fix.
superdude July 8th, 2014 at 14:02
Why not confront the smoker? What, are you a coward? You don’t need to answer, we already know you’re a chicken. “When that scary rich guy goes inside I’m gonna sneak up and vandalize his vehicle.”
big time liberal July 8th, 2014 at 19:42
Oh yeah, tough guy? I’m gonna buy a gun and show you who the coward is. We’ll see how well you like the second amendment when me and all my liberal friends have our guns pointed at you. Bet you won’t be so tough then will you? We’re going to lock you up in Guantanamo and water board your sorry ass. The world’s changing neoclowns, we’re taking over! Barack Obama for a third term, watch and see.

What is me confronting these douches going to do? All they will do is nod, perhaps laugh, and smirk at me and just keep doing what they are doing. They don’t give a shit about anyone let alone the environment or regulations. So, tell me smart ass, why the hell should I confront these people when I can easily just pour sugar in their gas tank, or slash their tires. If they want to hide behind the big ‘scary’ truck with billowing smoke, then someone can easily deface their trucks while they sleep or getting a burger.

How can I make my car put out white smoke? In case I have to announce a new pope or something?

Me and my buddies from Goldman-Sachs enjoy taking our dirt bikes out into the desert and terrorizing the little creatures that attempt to survive out there, we get a big kick out of racing around the desert. Bawaaaaawwp, bawaaaaaaaap, bawaaaaaaaap, “outta our way varmints!” We figure we’re doing them a big favor, after all that which does not kill you makes you stronger. The survivors are better off because of it. When we’re done we load our bikes back onto our jacked up pickups, and light the smoke machine. We really dig watching those smoke stacks pour out the black coal. I don’t know what I like better, rollin coal or chasing varmints and scaring them to death. Being a Republican is cool.

Blue states should cut off red states for a while. Make them beg from the economies that feed them.
superdude July 14th, 2014 at 18:03
Red states should cut off the blue ones for awhile, stop allowing blue states to cross their land, stop selling them food produced on red state land, show the blue staters who’s boss.
