Earth Day Nonsense

What’s interesting is the EPA has greenlighted Keystone XL pipeline more than once. It’s the State Department that’s holding it up. Even the most extreme environmentalists at EPA want the pipeline because they know hauling the stuff by rail is a far worse alternative.

Shock of shocks, EPA is the reasonable one in this argument. And the project got a “Present” vote from Obastard, until after the election. This has rotted on his desk the whole time he’s been Resident. “No decision!” is a “No!” decision on this. The unions are getting impatient.

I may have missed it, but when is “Private Property Rights Day?”

I celebrated Earth Day the way I have every day since 1993... I burn a tire.

Did you at least roast an endangered species over it?

[Dilbert San Diego]

we are at a point at which if you have any doubts about global warming, then you are in favor of despoiling the environment. why is this? why do liberals put everyone on the defensive on this?

[plain talk]

I agree. I am an environmentalist. I recycle and drink purified water. Clean air and water are important to me. However those simple reasonable efforts have been pushed aside by leftists hellbent on political goals.

Sadly, if you dare to celebrate such a day, you'll likely be labelled a domestic terrorist.

Forgot all about it. I’ll throw some extra wood in the fire pit this weekend.

After 30 years as the operator of a privately-owned public water supply company, I retired in January. I don’t have to deal with the a-holes at the epa anymore! HOORAY!

Congrats on escaping the rat race. Reminds me of when my main history professor in college told me about a retiring government official with the Farm Bureau. (My professor was originally a potato farmer.) When the official retired, all the local farmers gave him a farewell party. He then blew their minds by giving them straight talk about the bureau as his job was over and he was retired. He talked at length about how they weren't there to help the farmer, but to keep prices low for the consumer. He described in detail their methods of under reporting crops and such. After that, the local farmers never trusted another word from a government official, and I don't blame them.

The problem is that government agencies have no incentive to pronounce the problem "solved". If they do that they will be defunded. So they keep on finding "problems" so they can grow even larger and larger.

There is no way to stop this kind of thing beyond giving them a kind but firm butt kicking and sending them to the unemployment line.

Good story! I have horror tales of my dealings with the epa. They didn’t like us as a small, privately-owned company, and they tried non-stop to force us to sell to a big company. But I beat them every time. Always in compliance, etc..

“If Liberals think Conservatives want to let eeeeevvviiilll corporations pollute the environment, just wait until the millions Mexicans coming set up squatters camps at beaches and National and State parks around the country.”

Anyone who has been to Bear Mountain State Park in NY on a weekend can attest to that; I’ve been hiking there at sunrise when it is gorgeous, and leaving at noon when it is trashed - paper plates smeared with hot sauce and cups blowing in the wind, absolutely filthy...

“...all these immigrants aren’t going to be too keen on paying the Social Security for a bunch of old white childless spinsters so they can sit around and throw birthday parties for their pets.”

Absolutely; they’ve already made it clear that they are not here to kick in to the common till. At least they’ll do something productive with those dogs when their spinster owners die; they need them to train their fighting dogs for the ring...
