Environmentalists look at human population as the problem. More people = More problem. The only solution is: fewer people. Which is why they didn't shed a tear when sentencing millions to death by malaria. They want the whole world to be divided up into socialist camps and environmental parks, which they get to administer.

"They want the whole world to be divided up into socialist camps and environmental parks, which they get to administer."

Well said, Sam. You're right. They're too stupid to think any further than that--the incompetent bullies and the rich do-gooders who enable them. Their dream is to regulate "the environment"--with laws with teeth in 'em!--and to regulate people just as brutally and ruthlessly.

Environmentalists have the same attitude towards parkland that the old European monarchies used to have: For The King (and his ministers) Only.

And leftists have the same attitude towards people has Stalin had: they must either submit or die.

You're very clear, Sam. What you say bears repeating:

"Environmentalists have the same attitude towards parkland that the old European monarchies used to have: For The King (and his ministers) Only."

~Samtheman

Yes. And "environmentalists" envision themselves as either The King or one of his enforcers, with the authority to permit their "favorites" to use them according to their whims.

"And leftists have the same attitude towards people as Stalin had: they must either submit or die."

~Samtheman

One thing that is so disgusting about this is that many people who are not "environmentalists" are more environmentally sensitive than the "environmentalists" are--and most non-leftists (i.e. non-"Liberals" in the U.S.) are far more liberal, in the true sense of the world, than are "Liberals" or leftists.

"Liberals"/leftists and "environmentalists" love Orwellian paradox. The must be dishonest and manipulative. If they were honest and forthright, all sane and decent people would ignore them.

The frustrating thing is how reversed all this is in the liberal mind. Kerry says "this is the worst environmental president in history" and the libs cheer because they KNOW it's true. I have a friend like that. A nice enough guy. But he doesn't know the slightest thing about science or scientific studies or the environment, and yet he repeats these charges as if they have merit. It's very frustrating to listen to.

"Liberals" are either dishonest or delusional. If they weren't, they wouldn't be "Liberals" in the first place.
