Environmentalism was hijacked.

True. And now it, like the DNC and the Democrat Party, are Liberal fronts for the Socialist Movement.

I sent this to the usual suspects on my email list, and it's also near the end of these as an update:

I think that if the average citizens who belong to one of these organizations understood the group's true agenda, they would be outraged. But they haven't watched their leaders.

Is he talking about the Sierra Club or the Republican Party?

"Enviros play a very dirty game. Theirs is the politics of personal destruction on a major scale. Do I think the members of most 'environmental' groups support this? No. I think that if the average citizens who belong to one of these organizations understood the group's true agenda, they would be outraged. But they haven't watched their leaders. Where you don't have checks and balances you have abuses. There is no question that the environmental movement has discredited itself and in so doing has done a grave disservice to the country."

Insert "NEA" for underlined words and you've got part two of the problem.

Thanks for the ping.

I have friends who consider themselves environmentalists. They are the most hypocritical people I have ever met. Don't get me started...

"Is he talking about the Sierra Club or the Republican Party?

I believe he was referring to the same people I was, those who covet and fight to keep their turf from being scraped or given to some other agency. All require money and the power to lobby thus keeping the various levels of the movement going, this is part and parcel of the UN Agenda 21. Here is the entire quote:"Enviros play a very dirty game. Theirs is the politics of personal destruction on a major scale. Do I think the members of most 'environmental' groups support this? No. I think that if the average citizens who belong to one of these organizations understood the group's true agenda, they would be outraged. But they haven't watched their leaders. Where you don't have checks and balances you have abuses. There is no question that the environmental movement has discredited itself and in so doing has done a grave disservice to the country."

The Sierra Club is one of those organizations that has gone over the line. I don't think your snipe at the Republicans fits the 'crime', certainly that party isn't part of Gore's Earth in Balance or anywhere close to the tree huggers he courts with false tongue for votes or the practice of politics of personal destruction.

National Education Association or Nuclear Energy Association or National Endowment for the Arts; what ever, all are slightly left of Lenin and you're right...they are part of the problem.

Bump!! Happy Saturday to you, backhoe. It's still more than smokey here in So. Oregon. They keep arguing over what to call this largest of all fires. I suggest, the Green Jihad Burn.

the Green Jihad Burn

That has a nice ring to it-- makes a good "hook."

I've only been close to one wildfire in my life, and I never want to see another. Talk about a primal fear- I can understand why animals ans birds panic and run or fly into the flames...
