Why do I call them Eco Nazis? Because they are Eco Nazis!
The UK Telegraph ^ | 2/15.2011 | James Delingpole

You’ll note from that “whoulda thunk?” that I am not altogether surprised by the Nazi connections with the green movement and AGW theory. That’s because, during my research for Watermelons, I discovered how intimately they were bound. The Nazi obsession with “Blut und Boden” (”Blood and Soil”) and the quest for Lebensraum did not die with Hitler in his bunker in 1945: in only slightly changed form they continue to permeate green ideology ...

He is so right. From the 1800 to today Fascism is Fascism. They can put a Green bow on it but it still is ugly and reeks.

Someone quipped on Delingpole’s personal blog that ‘underneath the green leaves are brown roots!’

Aren’t there goon squads of enviro-wackos who burn down houses under construction. What do they call themselves? Earth-firsters or something?

There are more than a few such groups. Eco terrorists are toward the top of the FBI list for domestic terrorism. Here are some links for you. Some of them are actually Neo-Nazis as well. This is why many neo-Nazis hide in the woods of Idaho. They are greeners - http://www.fbi.gov/news/testimony/the-threat-of-eco-terrorism & http://www.cnsnews.com/node/22327 & http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9B05E2DD163FF930A15750C0A9639C8B63 & http://www.canada.com/news/Neighbours+shot+police+Nazi+environmentalist/2147430/story.html.

PAINT THEIR SWASTIKA GREEN
by Brien Bartels

     Whenever a group of enviro-lefties get together a lot of clumsy comparisons get thrown around concerning Republicans, free-marketeers, businessmen, and their alleged resemblance to fascists and Nazis.  Which is odd because those groups, however much you like or loathe them, are of various Christian denominations or even Jewish, don’t advocate street violence or eugenics, don’t tend to subjugate individuals to abstractions like racial purity, etc.  In fact the list of dissimilarities goes on and on. 
     But, when you look at the political wing of the environmental/socialist movement, the various Green Parties of the world, you see the following ominous parallels.
     The Green Party is led by a bunch of pagan, vegetarian dropouts.  So were the Nazis. Hitler was a failed artist and vegetarian.  The leader of the SS, Himmler (another soy-sucker), wanted his Black Corps to be the vanguard of a pre-Christian back-to-the-land movement.  The rituals and symbols he devised to replace Christian services looked like really bad art direction of a performance of Wagner’s Ring Cycle
     The Green Party claims to stand for workers’ rights. "Nazi" is short for National Socialist German Workers’ Party.
     Sometimes the Greens wear animal costumes to political functions. The Nazis went to their rallies in drag as well. 
     The Greens stand up for farmers and peasants, foreign and domestic. The Nazis were wonderfully agrarian, even advocating organizing farming. They just wanted the farms to be in the Ukraine, tended by the untermench
     The Greens advocate "decentralization." The Nazis practiced decentralization by giving their colonial governments life and death power over the organic farmers in their jurisdiction. 
    The Greens wage a defensive war of sabotage and propaganda for the oppressed  peasants of the world.  The Nazis waged a defensive war for the oppressed Aryans of Central Europe. 
     Greens occasionally smash shop windows to get their point across.  One word: Kristalnacht.
     I’m not sure, but I imagine the Greens disapprove of smoking tobacco.  The Nazi regime tried to ban smoking in public places, forcing its soldiers to set an example of abstinence. 
     The Greens hate guns, especially private ownership of guns.  The Nazis inflicted on the world groundbreaking "gun-control" laws, which they tested by confiscating the arms of German Jews. 
     The Greens are big tree planters.  Seven years ago, an aerial survey of the former East Germany revealed a stand of larch in a forest of pine.  These trees, planted by an early and flamboyant supporter of Hitler, formed a huge bright green swastika for a few weeks in spring and a flaming yellow one in the fall. (Ironically, the Germans, those engineers, fooled around for five years before removing the swastika, because they thought cutting down only the larches would just leave a swastika shaped hole in the forest.  I guess they eventually got permission to flatten even de-Nazi-fied trees.)
     The Greens want investment in alternative energy.  The Nazis pioneered not only synthetic oil from coal (to cope with the small problem of a hopeless war) they also invested a ton of Reich marks in an alternative energy system exploiting an until-then useless substance called uranium. 

  And of course, there is the whole fetish for Volkswagen Mini-buses.

Die, Eco-Weenies!
by P.J.O'Rourke

   There is no oil shortage. Experts at the Economist magazine have estimated that there are up to 650 years worth of ultimately recoverable hydrocarbons at the current rate of consumption...and price doesn't lie. Supply versus demand equals your MasterCard bill. According to Cambridge Energy Research Assosciates, if you adjust for inflation, gasoline prices are now six percent lower than they were before the 'energy crisis' of the 1970's and nine percent lower than they were in the lead sled days of 1963. In fact, in absolute terms, the price of crude oil is lower now than it was 100 years ago, when the average vehicle owner wasn't about to put it in his carriage horse.

   Nor does imported oil threaten our national security. If the Chevrolet Suburban's 13-mpg EPA city driving figure leaves us at the mercy of people who wear picnic tablecloths on their heads, then what's our army for? Excuse me, I forgot. The purpose of the United States military is to invade Haiti.

   What comes out the tailpipes of new cars is practically breathable. In recent testing in London, it was determined that the exhaust from the Saab 9000 was actually cleaner than the air it took in. How sad for the Wall Street punter trying to kill himself by running his Saab in a locked garage. The night wears on; he's out of cigarettes; the suicide note keeps getting longer; his wife is banging on the overhead door. "Honey, are you dead yet? The kids have to go to school."

   I love all cars, if the truth be known. We're told cars are dangerous. It's safer to drive through south central Los Angeles than to walk there. We're told cars are wasteful. Wasteful of what? Oil did a lot of good sitting in the ground for millions of years. We're told cars should be replaced with mass transportation. But it's hard to reach the drive-through window at McDonald's from a speeding train. And we're told cars cause pollution. A hundred years ago, the city streets were ankle deep in horse excrement. What kind of pollution do you want? Would you rather die of cancer at eighty or typhoid fever at nine? Cars have made us richer, freer, happier people. Life is better because of cars. Cars are good. If you don't think so, try making out on a country lane on Rollerblades, you eco-weenie.
