This year, once again, April 22 is the date for the dumbest holiday on earth, Earth Day. Despite its name, it is not a celebration of the Earth or Gods Creation or the majesty of nature but, instead, a wholly cynical pretend holiday that is designed to make radical environmentalist wackos seem mainstream and normal so that, ultimately, money can be taken from middle class Americans and given to people in other countries. It should be called Hooray for Redistribution Day. Or, you know, something similar to my idea but that is good and clever.
On this absurd day (out-absurded only by the impossibly dumber Earth Minute), environmental activists and Hollywood celebrities and virtue-signaling corporate patsies and high school kids and all the rest of the mixed bag of nuts are going to put on their usual plumage and perform their stop mating rituals and tweet about electricity and, well, a whole bunch of stupid stuff that Ive compiled on a computer using top manufactured technology I bought at a reasonable price thanks to progress and human ingenuity and capitalism into a list I like to call The Seven Most Idiotic Things About Earth Day You Will Definitely See and Certainly Hate. It could probably use some trimming but hey, I live in a rich country with many resources so Ill use a couple of extra words now and then.

I think I’ll have a bonfire tonight to celebrate Erf Day.
Put a lot of hydrocarbons and ash in to the atmosphere just for fun.
Gia be d@mmed.
I’ll be rolling in my “Six Fo”. It’s got a 327 no emission controls with a tankful of NON-ethanol fuel and a gas guzzling Edelbrock carb, With low-res dual exhausts so I can pollute the air twice as fast. Howdya like me now tree huggers? :)
I love those pre-1970 V8s.
One day I will have another.
I still have my timing light and dwell meter packed away.
And don’t forget to turn on all the lights!
April 22, happy birthday Vladimir Ilyich Lenin.
Coincidence?
And don’t forget May 5 th, “Cinco de Mayo”, happy birthday Karl Marx.
Another coincidence huh?
I remember that the United States used to have pretty bad air and water pollution and lots of toxic waste sites. It has been a big improvement in our country that this has been cleaned up a great deal and now we set an example for other countries. Also this started to change around the time of the first Earth Day and I don’t see anything wrong with designating one day a year to celebrate this.
Now’s the time to buy if you got the $$. From I’ve seen in the recent Old Cars Price Guides and Barret Jackson, prices have been stable for past few months.

If it were about “celebrating” achievements in reducing smog and such, you might have a point. (Though you might wanna hold back on the high fives in places in the US where the water is unsafe) But “Earth Day” is pretty much all about what this article says; a day for people to promote misc goofy leftist causes and to remind everyone that humans (especially Americans) are nothing but planetary parasites who need to be culled.

That’s a good un, too, really rocks. I think just about everyone released a V8 song back then.
Global Warming on Free Republic here, here and here

Don’t be such a clean freak - do it the Arlo Guthrie\Alice’s Restaurant way and just dump the whole mess over a cliff.
lol.
Save the earth.
You think they know the earth doesn’t give a @#$@#$ what we do?
It’s such a broad, utterly stupid phrase.
Pave the Earth.
One People.
One Planet.
One Slab of Asphalt. . . .

“And why is it the only people concerned about overpopulation seem to be overwhelmingly WHITE?”
It’s the guilt that is constantly being foisted on them simply
because they are successful, modern, white and weak.
It’s how the Obama got elected.
