Beam me to Planet Gore !

Ironic and shameful that the "Don't Cut That Tree" philosophy of so-called environmentalist actually results in far greater environmental and property losses.
And they all laughed when I said we need a “Climate Protection Amendment” to the U.S. Constitution, whereby the government is specifically prohibited from making any law, regulation or executive order, or imposing taxes, for the purposes of changing or regulating the climate of the planet.
Also, as with mentions of certain conservative women, I hereby recommend a requirement for posting a certain image whenever Al Gore's name is mentioned in an article:
I like Jonah’s writing. His book, Liberal Fascism, was a good read.
It should be compared more to Islamic than Judeo-Christian tradition. Terrorism, envy, and destruction of Western culture are tactics. It motivated by the evil intent of competitor devastation, power and control.
Well, maybe not a PERFECT remapping of the traditional Judeo-Christian beliefs and myths. For one thing, the enviro-whackos are a LOT more dogmatic. And like Muslims, there is no room for apostasy or heresy. Retribution is swift and merciless.
Environmentalists have caused more harm and cost society far more than all the polluters combined.
Why?
Because environmentalists actually do not understand nature.
Environmentalists create policies by holding meetings at posh resorts or within our cities. Those attending these meetings rarely step foot outside their urban setting. These are not people who have grown up on farms or had parents who were fishermen. These are not people who made a living through logging or papermills.
So, who are the environmentalists?
They are people who never stepped foot outside academia. They are people who joined a movement to feel good about themselves, but who have never subsisted on what nature has to offer. They are people who think they are smarter than those who interact with nature on a daily basis. They are people who have never saved a species---like hunters.
Through enviromentalists' arrogance we have sterilized beaches in Valdez, we have carcinogenic MTBE in drinking water, we have uncontrolled forest fires and we have a shortage of domestically produced oil.
Hmmm...an interesting take. Environmentalism is Islam for secularists.
Man-bear-pig. One of the truly great episodes of South Park.
“it’s time to save the environment from environmentalists.”
correction: “it’s time to save economic freedom from revolutionary socialists”
IMHO
Here! Here! As a recovering wrong headed enviro-wacko I totally agree. The instance that made me realize how stupid I was—having the responsibility of a farm of my own!
Fantastic post.... Thanks!
We owned 158 acres of gorgeous wilderness, teeming with wildlife. We intended to keep it in its natural, pristine condition--did not allow hunting or fishing on the premesis.
The "environmentalists" decided to "help".
After fighting them and their stupid regulations, ideas, and interference for five years--one harebrained and malicious scheme after another--I told them that if they didn't leave us alone, we would have to sell the property, and the only person likely to buy it would be a developer, who would destroy it.
They didn't leave us alone. In fact, they didn't care what happened to the wilderness. What they wanted to to was assert their authority and let us know what Bigshots they are.
A developer made us an offer. We accepted; I couldn't stand dealing with the "environmentalists" any more, and I could not afford to keep spending money to comply with their utterly stupid regulations and requirements.
It is now a desert. Where the animals went I do not know--quite possibly to a nearby hunting preserve where they were killed, but obviously somewhere else since their beautiful home had been destroyed.
We made lots of money in the transaction,
But we wept.
I still feel like weeping when I think of the beauty destroyed and the deer, foxes, raccoons, rabbits--all the animals whose habitats were destroyed by these people.
I HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO RESPECT FOR THESE SO-CALLED "ENVIRONMENTALISTS" AND WHAT THEY ARE TRYING TO DO!
The ones I have known are bullies who ought to be pushing a mop somewhere and what they are trying to do is push people around and let everybody know what Bigshots they are.
The ones I have known are shallow, stupid people, empowered far beyond their ability to handle power and authority--typical schoolyard bullies, empowered by do-gooders with good intentions but too stupid to comprehend what they are actually causing.
I have nothing good to say about these people!
Angry? You bet! I have seen what these people are like--and it is despisable.
Hows all that ethanol farming working out for the rain forest in Brazil?
I’m sorry to hear that.
I saw the same thing in prescott.
There is a bark beetle infestation in the forest and the envirowhackos would allow taking down diseased trees to stave the infestation. Even on private land. You would be fined heavily for trying to save your own property.
The result was a dead forest and declining property values.
would allow=wouldn’t allow
Great analysis.
