No wonder our Freepers in SW Oregon are having trouble breathing. Look at all of that smoke covering Grants Pass to Klamath Falls. How much carbon dioxide and other pollutants have been discharged by these Fire is Good Fires? Funny how the left wing Green Maggot Fishwraps never discuss this.
Here's an article by nunya bidness (Sean Finnegan) written for Sierra Times. He will be writing regular updates on the Sawgrass Rebellion for ST. This article includes a review of Carry_Okie's book.
Intended Consequences: Natural Process v. Environmental Arrogance By Sean Finnegan
Every anti envalists should bookmark it for the lies to come forth from the Watermelon Green Jihadists about their direct links to the fires we are having in Oregon and the rest of the country.
This will get worse after GW's speech in Medford this Thursday where he will recommend common sense timber management instead of the Fire Ecology of the mentally ill divisions of the Green Jihadists. They will go ballistic after his speech in Medford this Thursday.
We will have our own Freepers reporting on the crowd and the speech. I'm looking forward to hearing first hand from them.
Remember: Fire Good, SUV Bad.
(keep repeating to yourself until deep understanding pervades your soul)
The land grabbing/rural cleansing water melon green jihadists are working to make Florida just like their private playground, the state of Oregon.
Please go there and read what is happening, bump the thread and ping it to your friends.
AAAbest is one of our best supporters and pingers re Oregon is still burning. (The Sawgrass Rebellion. This is Going to be Huge Folks. Property Rights Action Committee ^ | 08-19-02 | aaabest)
Preserving our property rights for us, our children and our grand children should be a priority to all of us. The basic belief of all the Watermelon Greens, is that none of us have property rights. We are criminals for owning property. This is why a real conservative can never be a Green Weenie!

Maybe we can get the treehuggers to go in next fall and replant. Hey, that's not a bad idea. Think they'll do it for free is we give them the saplings?
