That seems to be what this global warming hoax is all about. They want the government to take over the oil companies and put the biggest tax on C02(a harmless gas that we all breathe out) that we have ever seen. They mascaraed this tax as a cap and trade program which will cost more than national heath care program

John Muir was an environmentalist way before Communism existed. There are avid environmentalists in all political parties who believe that if we don't cut back on over consumption that we won't have a planet that has the ability to sustain life. It's not just environmentalists that believe this either, most scientists who study the planet also believe this.

Oh dear. What is a Communist anyways!!!? Marxist? Leninist? Stalinist? Maoist? All anyone seems to know about communism is that it = BAD. The communist movement isn't even worthy of a noun described them like that because they never seem to agree!



On another note- To Gary G

Please Please Please don't tell me you believe C02 is harmless. PLEASE. You are joking right? Haha?

HOWEVER

I agree with you though that the cap and tax idea is DUMB. However the idea of a Carbon Market as sucessfully being applied in Europe right now is a GREAT idea. Not only will it generate a new industry- it will help the enviroment too!

Tea social gathering bigwig, Sen.Jim Demint, has his wellness-care totally paid for from the taxpayers, and he would not think of he could desire to offer it up, nor does he think of the militia could desire to offer up their "socialized medicine". So our society accepts a number of those "choose based" Marxism. And Obama and his wellness plan are the two so lots greater Capitalist then the two previous examples of "Marxism". So all of the assaults on him are purely worry-mongering lies from professional-company crypto-Fascists who've hijacked the Libertarian pass. undergo in strategies the old observed, "a sturdy offense is a robust protection" nicely that's precisely what the Tea-social gathering does. by potential of accusing Obama of being an extremist (by potential of calling him a "Nazi" or "Commie") they deflect grievance of their very own extremism, that's professional-company crypto-totalitarianism cleverly disguised as Libertarianism. actual libertarianism, with a small "L", is a sort of individualist Anarchism (that's the thought of having a society without coercive aspects). regardless of you think of of this concept's practicality, this is a some distance cry from enormous enterprise subsidized Tea-social gathering thuggery! which will in no way make a greater advantageous international (in certainty, particularly the alternative) no count what number Demint-ed politicians they put in workplace.

No, not 'Communist', maybe 'Anarchist' would be more accurate.



You get Retards, like the ELF, which completely fit that description.



Then, there's the AGW fanatics who don't know what real science is.



Then you get the Renewable Energy fanatics who are pushing bio-fuels which is forcing an artificial food shortage worldwide, raising prices of food across the US and causing more pollution than fossil fuels themselves. Read the URL below.

Could be in some cases. But most tree huggers are just naive and suckers - they believe everything they hear on the news without hearing the facts from scientists. I'm not saying we should trash the earth, but tree huggers love trees more than people. They are living in la la land.

If that was true, I wouldn't be surprised. Some people use the label communist to anyone who dares to think differently.

Only in the eyes of fervent neo-con nut jobs who can't get over their anti-liberal conspiracy theories.



But I guess slapping the "communist" label on anything you disagree with is pretty convenient, isn't it?

No.



Do you hate the environment?



Do you realize that without trees you couldn't breathe?



We have to be stewards of the Earth!

Actually, I thought the new buzzword to disparage someone who ideologically disagrees with you is 'Fascist'.

To a neo-con, anything that is not "neo-con," "KKK," "Nazi" or some other variation of "republican" sounds like "Communist." It has to be the total absence of any education and inbreeding.

NO

why don't you tell us what makes you think that way, so we can shoot down the silly ideas.
2008-06-11 20:14:39 UTC
Yea, thats it.

Now all we need is McCarthy to cut down our forrests to expose the Green Menace.
