Saving The Planet: It used to be said that socialism was the opium of the liberal intelligentsia. But now the drug of choice for the elite is environmentalism.

The dirty little secret of the modern green movement is that it's become a luxury good for the uber-rich who espouse policies — from carbon taxes to renewable energy standards to closing down coal plants — that impose high costs on poor people who can least afford to pay the green tab.

The uber-rich libs livin' it up at the cost of those less wealthy? WHAAAAA!!!! Not algore huh? That's the typical lib world view. Good for me but not for thee. Kinda like leland yee profiting from gun running while working to deny "commoners" their "guaranteed" rights.

Can’t agree more. For the most part it’s just a bunch of morally superior posturing.

Never be fooled: environmentalism is yet another cover for socialism, not different.

Green is Red.

They rightly have guilt, and this is just their coping mechanism.

Too bad it hurts so many people, eh?

LOL! Did you almost use the word “watermelon”? I think that may be on the endangered “code word” list. :>}
