Wow! This is great!

Sarcasm on

I wonder why this isn't being given the coverage that the anti-globalism protestors get? Gee, it couldn't be because the media has an agenda, could it??

Sarcasm off

Hundreds of "anti-summit" protestors took to the streets here Thursday to criticize what they see as the "sustainable poverty" agenda of environmentalists at the Earth summit, formally known as the United Nations Summit on Sustainable Development.

"Everything they are discussing here is actually going to retard development..." marcher Barun Mitra told CNSNews.com . Mitra is a farming advocate for India and a member of the Liberty Institute of New Delhi.

Wow! Is there a FR chapter in New Delhi? And they went all the way to Johannesburg to FReep the UN conference? Kewl!

If there isn't maybe there should be. Glad to see we're not the only ones who think the UN sucks swamp gas.

"We at the Sierra Club stand in solidarity with our comrades in the North [industrial northern hemisphere], and especially the South [developing southern hemisphere]," he added.

Translation: "We at Marxist headquarters sit in luxurious judgement on the world from our opulent headquarters in the North and we don't give a crap how bad it is in India. We intend to push our agenda forward until our own workers burn nothing but cattle dung for heat and ride Chinese made bicycles to and from their jobs assigned by the proletariat."

Boy, that Kucinich guy looks like he's been embalmed.
A couple more servings of tofu and he'll be there.

[ArneFufkin]

That's a 4 man crew of dismal proportions. 64 collective years since any of them have been laid. Amazingly, the last one was Linda Ronstadt for all four. Jerry Brown was Governor of California, a candidate for President of the U.S., and now he is mayor of Oakland. How pathetic. If he keeps this career path up, he'll be Class Treasurer at Redding Middle School by 2005.

He looks like a ventrilouquist dummy.

'Sustainable-Poverty'

I love it. Great rhetoric. Use the leftist's own catch phrases against them.

[A Ruckus of Dogs]

I would say the fault is less with the environmentalists than with the political policies of third world governments.

Boy, that Kucinich guy looks like he's been embalmed.

Up close and personal, DENNIS!! looks like 'the mummy' with a grotesque, dyed, jet-black do.

Earl Blumenauer of Oregon

Just wonderful. This is my representative, pi**ing away our tax dollars, at a kookfest halfway round the world.

I have no representation in Congress.

[BullDog108]

Well, his hair caught on fire when he was the mayor of Cleveland! Affectionatly known as Dennice the Menace!

Charlie McCarthy would be insulted. Howdy Doody would be incensed. Of course they are made of wood which would make them biased against environmentalists.

Joan Veon has stated something about "sustainable" being just another word for "communism."

[TigersEye]

I would say the fault is less with the environmentalists than with the political policies of third world governments.

If third world governments align their policies with UN Agenda 21 then the blame kind of comes back to environmentalists, doesn't it?
