Environmentalism:
Look, we fought for the air standards we have and you can bug off. We don't want to become China. People Power. The water in Boston is excellent.
Actually, if you don't love the earth, trees and animals, if you don't respect Muir or Thoreau or Johnny Applesead, you should just go away from here. We don't need any non environmental attitudes and in this I am unanimous!
I just realized there must be another fiction going on here: the fiction of the Environmentalists! What's that one. OP?
My own father was a Republican Tea Party card carrier and he also belonged to the National Audobon society, the Wilderness Society, the Save Buzzards Bay committee, the Essex/Cape Ann Watershed society, the Consevators Of Reservations (NE) and about seven other Environmentalist groups I can't remember. Never voted for a Democrat or liberal of any kind In His Life.
Quoting: Anonymous Coward 20442113 Ok, you have a point there, my statement was poorly worded.
I should have stated the following;
I have no time for environmental regulations that do not take into account economic principles, the right for people to make a living and the balanced approach to sustainable growth and prosperity. Knee jerk left wing reactions to proposals that could create jobs, save industry or otherwise enhance the quality of life for humans should be the paramount concern, not ideology.
People who value the earth over human life and their right to exist annoy me.
People who destroy entire communities based on animal protection also annoy me. Goes back to the theory that animals are equal to humans, or in some case, exceed humans.
People who put spikes in trees to injure lumberjacks because they do not agree with forestry industries are vile to me.Domestic terrorists to be exact. Forestry can be one of the most environmentally friendly and sustainable industries around.
Depopulation advocates, who rely on the environmentalism movement as justification for such outlandish ideas.
Carbon emissions alarmists who have successfully hijacked a significant amount of the food manufacturing base ( think ethanol production), to replace agriculture for people to eat with agriculture for fuel substitutes. Although there is proof that the climate is getting warmer, there is no conclusive evidence that this is caused by humans, yet we have to pay for it.
