Yup. I know about ira. How much Glade did he use in that time while Holly melted/decomposed in the closet? WOW!
If Obama had his druthers, would Lenin's birthday be a federal holiday? Or would he go for someone else--Che? Mao? Stalin? Beria? Karl Marx? Malcolm X?
I have one of these envirohippies across the street. He has just spent tens of thousands of dollars having solar panels installed on the front of his roof. I walked over and he was all proud and asked when I was going to install mine to help conserve energy. I said “dude, I’m not into conserving energy, I’m into using it, hell sometimes when I get home from work I’ll leave my truck running in the driveway and go inside and watch TV for an hour”. The look on his face was priceless. lol
Or worship The Creator through His creation...
The genetic fallacy is what it is called when you attempt to discredit an idea based upon where it originated from instead of what the idea itself is actually about. It is, as the title indicates, fallacious. Doubly so if the origin you’re using to discredit is tenuous at best.
Attempting to draw associations between earth day and either pagans or communists is more than a little silly. Because the stated intent, the reason most people celebrate the holiday, is to bring to mind the fact that we humans have a massive impact on our environment, and thus have a certain responsibility if we want to keep it. While I’m absolutely certain that there *are* pagans who celebrate earth day in a more spiritual sense, for most people it’s just a reminder to recycle, turn off the lights when they leave the room, and maybe plant a tree.
If you’re going to attack the average earth day celebrant on the grounds that it’s pagan, then you can attack the average Christian for celebrating Christmas, which draws heavily on pagan backgrounds. Where do you think decorating a tree and hanging mistletoe came from?
Honestly, what’s to gain from trying to decry a holiday who’s stated purpose is to try and make the world more hospitable? There are nutty environmentalists out there, sure, but what are we trying to do here, stop people from planting trees?
(it was all natural refuse, choke cherry and dead wood) I am Going Green!!!
In honor of earth day, I am going to take the long way home in my gas-guzzling Mustang. After getting home, I think I will burn an old tire.
I didn’t think about it being Earth day but I was burning brush too. Mostly briars and green willow.
Is Droso_Phila Latin for Douchebag?
I say Stalin is exactly what Marxism was about in it’s true sense.
One can look at Marx’s criticisms of the Paris Commune in 1871, basically he said it failed because they weren’t harsh enough towards their enemies, he basically said all opposition to the revolution was to be annihilated. Stalin and all the Bolsheviks took this lesson to heart, as well.
And it’s interesting to note, that Bill Ayres said the same thing about what would have to happen if folks like the Weathermen ever won power, they would do the same exact thing, annihilate millions of Americans to see their revolution through.
Inventing holidays is the last refuge of a scoundrel.
Ira Einhorn,Founder of Earth day and MC at the first one (1970).Now serving life in prison for having murdered the girlfriend who had the audacity to leave him and then storing her body in his closet until neighbors called the cops about the smell.
Any girl he had was obviously had under duress.
Classy. Do you have an argument, or are you just annoyed that you can’t think of anything worthwhile to say?
Come on now, have some self-respect. You’re better than that.
I can think of plenty to say. Did you really think you would get off scott free by posting pro-earth day propaganda on FR? Earth Day is a leftist’s wet dream and will never be celebrated on FR.
