They don’t need to go that far.

Just try blocking traffic in Georgia Avenue on the north side of DC—the locals would have target practice... ;-)

Looks like May Day in Rome and Vienna when I was a kid living in Europe.

Communist holiday celebration.

Red flags and banners everywhere.

Twits. Don’t they understand that most everyone in DC is a lefty?

I hope they cause the biggest traffic snarl yet.

From what I heard this past week, the wheel is turning, very hard and rusted, but turning.

The amount of illegals flooding the metro is getting to the very ones who caused this mess to begin with.

BTW, you never hear them discuss the REAL reason for the environmental crisis: OVERPOPULATION IN AFRICA, SOUTH AMERICA AND ASIA.

So, should we take them all in and pave over the national parks and farmlands? Or should they use some restraint and limit their offspring?

I know, that’s racist. /s

In 1968, pollution was a crisis. Dead and deformed fish, smog, burning rivers, etc. Plenty of legislation was enacted, and most of the problem was solved in the US. Pollution is no longer a crisis, or even a major problem. Plastics, glass and metal are recycled. Tabs no longer are detached from cans. Sewage and industrial waste are treated.

But dumbasses who weren’t there when all these reforms were enacted want to keep the crisis going so they can feel important. Eric Hoffer uses this phenomenon to differentiate between good and bad mass movements. The bad movements want to keep the active phase going forever, and keep inventing fantasy pretexts to effect that. A good mass movement is willing to declare victory, and hand over the movement to practical men who can give the movement permanency. We see Hoffer’s distinction unfolding before our eyes. Environ-mental-ism is a bad movement.

This Greta Eurotrash looks retarded and acts retarded but she is the leader of the Ecotards.

“A call-to-action document for Shut Down DC highlights worsening superstorms, floods, droughts, and wildfires, and notes that they unevenly hurt people with low incomes and people of color.”

They forgot pestilence, locusts, and brimstone. And what, no mention of the suffering of women and children!?

Those red flags and the historic meaning of “red” are why it is so outrageous that the propaganda media flipped the red and blue colors for Dems and Republicans.

If I send them a check, can they permanently shut down DC?
Finally they are doing something most Americans would support.
LOL

Climate activists will escalate their protests next month in Washington DC, seeking to shut down traffic with blockades at key intersections to bring attention to the intensifying crisis.

Climate activists, acting on a false premise, will escalate their mindless protests next month in Washington DC, seeking to shut down traffic with blockades at key intersections to bring attention to themselves.

Climate change is caused by the Sun, and perhaps other outside elements in the solar system, not you and not mankind.

The behavior of the climate activists is akin to children's temper tantrums. The Democrat party is regressing more and more.

Because 0bama believed in global warming. Now that Trump is scrubbing the words “climate change” from the EPA website, they’re coming out of the woodwork.

For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. Swing the government rightward, expect a lot of leftist protests. That’s just the way life is.

The red and blue colors for political maps and reference were flipped during the 2000 campaign. The Dems wanted to stop the reference of themselves to the communist party. Look at the flags of China, North Korea, the Soviet Union and Vietnam Nam. All red. References in literature, political writing, etc always call Communists, the Reds.

If the Dems didn’t have the dishonest media on their side, they would almost never win an election.

I knew about the red being communist colors. I was in Rome and Vienna on May Day when I lived in Europe as a kid. Both cities were covered in red flags and banners.

But I just didn't know about the switch of our pwn political party colors.

The democRATS are always running from their own shadows. I was at a pool-side potluck for my townhouse association in Arizona years ago. I was talking to a neighbor who was a flaming liberal.

When I mentioned that she was a liberal, she got offended (as they always do) and proclaimed, "I am not a liberal. I am a progressive!"

As if that euphemism somehow disguised her commie leanings. They think everyone else is so stupid that no one would notice the change.

Same ideology, just spelled differently.
