Welcome to Free Republic.
They assume that they are on the side of good and decency, and that anybody who opposes them is evil. Is it really such a leap to resort to thuggery to prevent “evil” from continuing? If you really do buy all the Eco-Weenie propaganda crap, putting beat-downs on old men watering their lawns is not only justifiable, it is a moral imperative!
I have a theory as an arm chair psychologist that these radicals are emotionally stunted adults who as children were always given false praise by their parents and teachers and thus have an inflated sense of self. They imagine themselves to be God incarnate. They can do no wrong and anyone who is not in agreement with them is “evil”.
They are predatory, but when the game they think are cornered dare put up a defense edgewise, then that is a crime punishable with the power of the fist.
I bet that killer wastes more water than anyone. There is always a bigger bully down the block, especially in a jail-block. It won’t be long till he gets it back in spades.
One of the things that is really beginning to rub me the wrong way, is where corporations are starting to partner with the green causes.
I was just watching an add last night where ABC (I believe it was) is going to promote “GREEN ISSUES” all next week. They’ve got some clever marketing program all set to go, and it’s labeled something like, “GREEN WEEK, WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE” or some variant of this.
What this does is brainwash, or stampeed a lot of people into believing that this planet may be saves with lots of work, but it’s going to be a real close call. That simply isn’t the case. This planet is just fine.
I feel like calling ABC, telling them I’m making a list and that I won’t buy one damned thing from one of their advertisers for the next year.
Something is going to be put somewhere... but the nose may not be the right direction.

And yes, very nice debut for FR. Welcome aboard. Mind the step.
Nature abhors a vacuum. If you have raised a child to respond to nothing but praise, and with no solid foundation of morality, what will he do when he is an adult, and Mommy is no longer there to put his fingerpainting on the refrigerator? He will fall prey to whatever “holy” cause is fashionable at the moment, and feed his insatiable need for praise self-esteem through outward adherence to the proper behaviors.
Recycling is the new Religion.
I agree, seriously. You deserve a PHD with that thesis. No need for a 300 page book to explain that thought on the subject matter, Dr. Lawgvrl1955.
What a beautiful description (definition) of a full-blown elitist Liberal.
IN HIS HORN
WITH AN EAR OF CORN!
Prayers for the victim.
Do you have to say that? Everyone joins sometime, or maybe you meant it sincerely. If so, I apologize. It is usually meant in a snarky fashion.
No, I really was welcoming him. I almost put in parentheses that I was serious, for the very reason you mentioned, but I was hoping that it wouldn’t be necessary this time.
I started to add, “Good first post,” but I don’t want to give the guy a swelled ego. :-)
