What drives them? The same ignorant arrogance that drives globull warming and every other liberal cause.

I think anti-energy jerks have heard stories of romance involving people in other countries wearing berets and riding their bicycles into town for a baguette and some cheese. They think the US should be like that. But we’re not sophisticated enough to do that. But if our gas cost more, well maybe... Just maybe... Oh, what a wonderful fantasy world it would be!

I like the term/description for these people being the watermelon society i.e. green on the outside(public) but red on the inside (communists) and other like societal believers.

From the Notebooks of Lazarus Long:
There are hidden contradictions within the minds of people who “love nature” while deploring the “artificialities” with which “Man has spoiled ‘Nature.” The obvious contradiction lies in their choice of words, which imply that Man and his artifacts are not part of “Nature”--but beavers and their damns are. But the contradictions go deeper than this prima-facie absurdity. In declaring his love for a beaver damn (erected by beavers for beaver’s purposes) and his hatred for dams erected by men (for the purpose of men) the “Naturist” reveals his hatred for his own race--i.e., his own self-hatred. In the case of “Naturists” such self—hatred is understandable; they are such a sorry lot. But hatred is too strong an emotion to feel toward them; pity and contempt are the most they rate. As for me, willy-nilly I am a man, not a beaver, and H. Sapiens is the only race I have or can have. Fortunately for me, I like being part of a race made up of men and women-- it strikes me as a fine arrangement and perfectly “natural.” Believe it or not, there were “Naturists” who opposed the first flight to old Earth’s Moon as being “unnatural” and a “despoiling of nature.”

Once they nationalize the oil companies in Amerika all restrictions will be lifted.

For the good of the people.

Thanks.

Whenever the liberals act covertly or overtly, we need to ask the simple Cui Bono, who benefits from the action.
