Chris Matthews doesn't seem to know that wood comes from trees, or that the U.S. did a lot more logging before environmentalists tried to shut it down in order to protect the spotted owl.

I found this...

Could spotted owls benefit from forest fires?

A few years ago, a local father shot an alligator that somehow ended up in his creek way north of where they are normally found. His children played in that creek and he thought it was a danger.

Instead of SSS, he notified the local sheriff’s department thinking the sheriff would issue a warning to county citizens to watch out for alligators. Big mistake. Big Big mistake. They notified the game warden and it went downhill from there. I think he finally ended up avoiding prison; but just barely. Most of the time, SSS is the best thing you can do.

Trees are really big weeds. If we cut some down and replant, our grandchildren can cut the next crop. As it is right now, we are leaving the trees to be burned in wildfires.

Because we’re really smart.

In addition to that, and the tingles up his legs, Chris Matthews also has a wooden head.

So the Libs shut down logging to save the owls and thus the planet but forget that forest fires happen more often when trees are not cut down….. so 6,800 homes in Palisades are gone thanks to the owl. The question on everyone’s mind is “does anyone give a hoot”?

I saw that clip, with all the trees behind him he didn’t seem to have a clue how we could possibly make our own lumber.

What a f’ing moron! He is, therefore, the perfect representative of the Left - woefully uninformed about how the world works, yet incredibly self-righteous and arrogant.
