"Not in My Backyard" Award
Center for Consumer Freedom ^ | January 12, 2006 | Center for Consumer Freedom

Posted on 01/12/2006 8:15:22 PM PST by george76

Given to environmentalist lawyer Robert F. Kennedy Jr., whose fight for "green" energy apparently stops as soon as the results might spoil his view.

Kennedy penned an irate New York Times op-ed in December, condemning the proposed building of wind turbines around the Nantucket Sound.

While Kennedy criss-crosses the country in his jet-fuel-burning private plane stumping for alternative energy sources, he wants an exception for his own backyard.

Greenpeace spokesman Chris Miller was not pleased, saying: "It's about a vision for healthy oceans, not the view from the Kennedy compound."

"If an Old Dog Won't Learn New Tricks, Inject It with Lethal Drugs" Award

Given to People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) for the combined 42 felony animal-cruelty charges brought against two PETA employees.

Adria Hinkle and Andrew Cook allegedly killed dozens of dogs, puppies, and kittens in the back of a PETA-owned van, less than an hour after promising to find them good homes.

Police say they saw Hinkle and Cook tossing the dead animals into a trash dumpster.

The gene pool wasn't too strong with old Joe but it certainly is getting weaker with each passing generation.

To all (including many who call themselves conservatives): if you hate your view of your neighbor's place and want to start trouble, get a larger property for yourself. Otherwise, your dues/taxes will be increased, and you'll begin to feel like a tenant.
