Do as we say not as we do! Sierra Club Hipocracy! (my title)

We are people just like you, who do our best to promote the Sierra Club mission statement in our personal lives, but what we do in our personal lives is what works for us and should not be infringed upon.

I can even respond to this without laughing

Good grief! Stacey Hyphen did not even address the part of second-home-ownership that necessitates the felling of more trees for the lumber. Oh, I forgot -- the Sierra Club/"Green" position on THAT is: "now that I've got lumber for MY home(s), thou shalt cut down no tree, anywhere, anytime". BTW, it's "hypocrisy", but I don't want to appear pedantic, so I won't mention it.

Just remember:

What's the difference between a conservationalist and a developer? The conservationalist already has his home in the country.

Hypocracy -- a government of hypocrits. Hmmmm. Pretty much fits, actually.

[wai-ming]

Hippocracy, a government of hippos?

[Tacis]

Why else would you join the Sierra Club than to try to persevre that natural solitude and peacefulness of the place where you built your vacation get away? We don't want cars, kids, dogs, and other houses any where near us and rely heavily on the Sierra Club to help keep it this way.

It's a lot like Redford several years back protesting a mining operation in Utah (?). It would have destroyed a pristine wildernes and spoiled the environment. Of course, it also could have been seen from his out-of-the-way palace and the Sierra Club helped him keep it that way.

I suppose they actually believe that electricity they use to heat their second homes is generated by "free" solar energy and not by coal burning power plants.

Just the name alone adds to my hatred for the Sierra Club. Blech...who makes up names like that?

[Chad Fairbanks]

Wouldn't that be a Government of Horses?

[El Sordo]

Is anyone at all surprised by this?

With a name like that he/she probably also works the AOL helpdesk.

[Fiddlstix]

Good Grief!

I demand to see her birth certificate, but not a photocopy - I don't want to destroy any more trees than necessary.

I couldn't have said it better myself!!! I am going to quote Ms. Hyphenated in my next correspondence with any newspaper or other media outlet when they are trying to make a fallacious charge against SUVs.

We are going to have to make up a new word for this extrapolation of hypocrisy!

[CPT Clay]

Defund the left.

"...what we do in our personal lives is what works for us and should not be infringed upon."

But isn't that exactly what they're critizing the public for? They scream that what works for us in our personal lives promotes ecological destruction, and (if you believe Norman Lear)even promotes terrorism! Do the Hollywood types who pass judgement on us poor groundlings, people like Mr. Lear, Arianna Huffington, Tony Danza, Barbra Streisand, et al., and even these hypocrites in the Sierra Club think that their personal cars, their chartered jets, their collection of classic but fuel-ineffecient toys, etc. are somehow exempt from the laws of physics? I heard of having brass, but these people make the bells of St. Peter's basilica look like they're made out of tin foil...

David Horowitz show last night was about how Sierra Club, ELF, EarthFIRST! et al had blocked all logging in Pac/NW area, and now bugs are destroying the forests, and making a huge fire hazard for alot of people. None of them would go on air to defend their position. The hyprocasy of these people make me sick. They have become politicized to the point that no one is really in charge, and their leadership is so emasculated that these organizations seem to live and breathe on their own. IMO, word needs to get out that donations to the Sierra Club are donations to the most radical and illogical forms of environmentalism.

SUV's emit toxic CO2 into the air

CO2 is toxic now? Yeah it just seems to kill all those plants doesn't it.

We need to do more of this. Maybe we can find out where they live and take pictures of their homes and vehicles and publish them here on our website. This is great!
