It is comical when you consider the absurdity that is defined by those who are politically correct or the elite in Washington. The whole world is going to burst into flames before our eyes unless we go back to living like cavemen immediately and though we dare not drill for our own oil and there is certainly no way to stop using it immediately, these things escape those who've declared themselves the keeper of Mother Earth and have made her a matter of Goddess worship again.
It is common sense that at least for now we still need to use oil and gas, but we certainly can't drill our own. In some twisted way this makes sense to the environmentalists. Its not fine to use other country's oil in their opinion, but for some unknown reason it's better to do that and make ourselves dependent on them rather than drill our own until we can make alternatives that work to replace those forms of energy.
Drilling has been shown to be safe and to affect only very small areas but the environmentalists would have us believe that entire species are being destroyed, thousands or even millions of trees are being destroyed or entire populations of fish and huge sections of the ocean are being destroyed if we drill there. Nothing could be further from the truth, but then the environmentalists are not really concerned with the truth.
There is another agenda behind all they are doing. It would seem the real goal of all this environmentalism is to change where the power is as well as a redistribution of the wealth from the wealthy nations to the poor ones. We are at every turn being made to feel guilty that we are creating SO much CO2. In reality, but again we don't want to let the facts bother us, the amount of CO2 we are putting into the air is less than 1/1000th of 1% of all the CO2 put in the atmosphere by all of nature. We don't hear that one volcano going off puts out more CO2 than all the cars in the U.S. do in a full year.
Al Gore does a video call "An Inconvenient Truth" and it's a hit even though it's not the truth. When confronted about this at a recent meeting he had the man's microphone turned off because it was the only way to shut him up. This is just one example of the open mindedness of the left. They certainly don't seem to want to have freedom of the press or freedom of speech. It seems they want to be free to say what they want including lies and the like, but they quickly shut up those who tell the truth about them.
For environmentalists the end always justifies the means. If they have to falsify facts, make up lies about what their opponents say, create false photographs, or even rewrite history it's all ok because the important thing is the environment. The other side however dares not even speak the truth for fear of retribution and press witch hunts to destroy their character.
These are the people we have in government. Between cap and trade or whatever name they keep changing it to so they can try to pass it without opposition and the many environmental laws that are so restrictive you can't even plant a tree on your own property without a 100 permits they are determined to suck the rest of us dry.
It is time for the American people to start using our money as well as our mouths and votes to let these people know we're going to take it any more.
