George W. Bush, in his personal life, in the home he lives in when he's not at the White House, is easily the most environmentally conscious president we've ever had.

A point that needs to be shouted loud & clear.

Most "environmentalists" think they're "doing something for the environment" when they live on bulldozed concrete-slabbed land, live on products shipped halfway 'round the world, and use enormous amounts of power. GWB, demonized as anti-environmental, preserves hundreds of natural and near-natural ranch land, has a small house heated/cooled by passive means, and largely uses locally-produced products. If "environmentalists" would live like GWB, much of the economy would collapse from simple disuse - ironically, their goal.

What I find most interesting about how the communists and other hard leftists have found a home with the environmentalists, was host the greatest environmentalist disasters have occurred in leftist and communist countries. Look at Eastern Europe immediately after the fall of the Iron Curtain, just as one example.

Hey, I love Ender as much as the next guy, but Scott Card is getting a little strange. He seems to be one of those guys who is going throwth a political evolution (he was a Democrat 6 years ago remember) and is going through a glitches in the transformation—it’s o.k. Orson, you can change your opinions without repudiating yourself. No need for the construction of elaborate chimeras for liberalism. It’s intellectual bankruptcy is apparent already.
