John Kerry's French cousin, Brice Lalonde, a former environment minister and Greens leader has said he and Kerry are on the same environemtal page. This must be one of those foreign leaders who is behind his candidacy.

A strong ecconomy will protect the environment far better than a poverty environment. Environwackos are only about figuring out how to get their mits on your property. After all envirowackos care more about society than anyone else and therefore they should have dictatorial control.

I used to be an "environmentalist". Then I found out who was running this movement, who was involved in it, and what they were trying to do. Now I have only contempt for them and their "movement".

They tend to be self-annointed "activists" with mediocre minds and morality, backed by the enormous wealth of various "environmentalist charities". The effect is to arm the schoolyard bullies with enormous power.

Some of the meanest, cruelest, most sadistic, most disgusting people I have ever know were in the "environmentalist" movement.

I still recycle. My wife's still a vegetarian. But I have adopted this rule of thumb: If the "environmentalists" are for it, oppose it. If they are against it, support it.

Libs are perfectly content to burn down all our trees with assinine policies, but doing something intelligent to save them is evil capitalism.

Here's an environment question we never see in these polls:

Given a choice, would you drink a cup of water from an American river, or a river in another country?

The lefties are very unclear on the whole "liberty" thing.

They just don't get it.

When environmentalists publicly admit that trees are a crop instead of something sacred, I'll listen to them. Not before.

I'm a hunter. I'm a fisherman. I support protecting the environment, and when it comes to protecting it, ourdoorsmen walk the walk. We all also understand that people are part of the environment.

These 'enviromental groups' - PETA, Greenpeace, Friends of the Earth, Earth First, etc - are not environmental groups. They are communist and they are hypocrites in their concrete jungles.

"You get initiatives that actually weaken the Clear Air Act called 'Clear Skies' and you get initiatives that increase logging of forests that are promoted under the heading of 'healthy forests' and the fact is it's a handout to the timber industry on public lands," Mr. Blackwelder said.

More Americans prefer healthy wallets over "protecting the environment">

Whatever the heck "protecting" the environment means..............."the environment" probably needs more protection from the Third Way Sustainable Development New World Odor Elite..

You can grow pulp trees in three to five years....if the nation allowed commerical production of hemp we could really have some renewable pulp resources...

I think the biggest Bush bashers are teachers! One said Bush is destroying our environment. I said "Really?" I thought the "Healthy Forest Act" was sensible. Get rid of dead and diease trees to avoid out of control wild fires. How much environmental damage did those Southern California wild fires cost? No vegetation to protect the top soil or water tables. He didn't have a good answer but to say Califorians can pay for the damages. He thinks Republican's are not good stewardship of the forest. He also blames Bush for underfunding "No Child Left Behind Act" which was passed in the Senate like 85 to 10...but that's another story.

I relish driving away the greenies who knock on my door. Just last month one started in on the logging industry rules here in Oregon. After posing 2 points -

A)They grow back. and

B)How does the big evil capitalist timber industry expect to stay in business after cutting down all of their product?

The dirty little commie just backed off my porch in a hushed stupor.
