Earth Day is a Celebration of Misery and Death Yahoo! Contributor Network By Mark Whittington | Yahoo! Contributor Network – 2 hrs 47 mins ago
COMMENTARY | Today is Earth Day, the annual bacchanalia of self abuse invented by the environmental movement to remind everyone that the human race is a pestilence upon this planet. It is a celebration by the self righteous for the hysterical.
Robert Zubrin, writing for the Washington Times, points out the inconvenient truth of the carnage wrought in the name of the environment, the better to contain that cancer known as humanity. The death toll is in the hundreds of millions, including infanticide conducted on behalf of population control in China and preventable deaths from malaria in the Third World thanks to the banning of DDT.
The desire for clean air and water is being used by professional agitators to stop projects that would provide energy and natural resources, as Brian McGraw points out in the Daily Caller. President Barack Obama's resistance to the Keystone XL pipeline is just one battle in this constant war of environmental hysterics against human progress.
The Endangered Species Act has been used to stop development and, in the case of California's Central Valley, to create a desert where once was fertile farmland because of something called the delta smelt. Former Alaska Gov Sarah Palin sarcastically suggested that human lives were being destroyed for the sake of bait.
Here is a modest proposal. Let's cancel Earth Day. Environmentalism has been used to commit too many atrocities to be a cause to be celebrated. If anything, Earth Day should be a day of mourning and reflection for all the lives that hugging the planet has taken and snuffed out.

I have completed my “Annual Earth Day Cut Down a Tree for Fun” ceremony.
Happy Ira Einhorn day to all the componere!
It is neo pagan earth worship. The rituals are druid like and give emotional solace to the post religious lunatics who have far too much influence in this country.
Earth Day is part of the attack on American greatness and liberty.
I remember back when they had the big Earth Day Celebration on the Washington Mall....it took two days to clean up all of the trash they left behind.
Nailed it! I’d like to buy the writer a cigar.
BTW, a leftwinger was first to reply in the comments section. Some freeper with a facebook/google/yahoo account needs to log in and give him a proper taunting.
Funny how no one mentions him as Earth day founder any more
Environmentalists make good compost.
And it's not even a "day". In the elevator at work, the ads on that monitor that you can't escape are all about "tweet your "earth day" experiences all month to blahblahblah..."
gawd i'm so over it.
.....”Earth Day,.... the annual bacchanalia of self abuse invented by the environmental movement to remind everyone that the human race is a pestilence upon this planet. It is a celebration by the self righteous for the hysterical.”.....
The New Age Spiritual Movement is tied directly to the enviro-weenies as well...Wiccans and many other cultish groups as well join in with the “worship of Mother Earth”.....it’s all hocus pocus nonesense!
I want to kill the environment.
When is Uranus Day?
I almost walked out of church today when the substitute priest devoted his homily to Earth Day. It was all I could do to keep myself from commentiing to him on the way out.
Fr. Veik tried to link Earth Day to St. Francis of Asissi, claiming that he had ariginated it. (I’ve never heard that before.) I wanted to ask him if he had ever heard of Ira Einhorn and Holly Maddux. Instead, I just offered the Mass for Holly.
If Fr. wants to credit St. Francis, that’s all well and good. But, he should differentiate between the good Saint, and the modern Marxists and Murderers who have co-opted the idea of Earth Day, IMHO.

I will celebrate this day as German Shepherd Dog day. It seems more fitting.
Wowzers....I’ve just sent that one around.
EPA= Enrichment Prevention Agency. Or many other appropriate names could be attached to this obamanation. I know he didn’t start it but he could end it. Riiiiiggggghhhhhtttt!
As far as certain planet days, are there rings around it? Never mind. TMI!
Helping keep mankind warm for almost 65 years.
Laura Bush “celebrated” Earth Day in Dallas. Gave a big speech about it.
