: As I've stated so often before, environmentalism has nothing to do with "saving the earth". It is merely a tool of the Imperial Communist who, quite frankly could care less about the environment, his real concern is power. If he can recruit foot soldiers to do his work (ie. to build an earthly empire) for him under the guise of "saving the earth", then all the more clever, is it not?

SDF: So suggesting that people might consider riding their bike to work, as the people here do, is really a plot for global takeover, it has nothing to do with using less gasoline, getting more exercise, or putting out less carbon dioxide. Have you any evidence for this assumption, as it might pertain to these people?

: To demonstrate it today just look at the chameleon greens (ie. Mr. Fischer of Germany) who are in support of depleted uranium being exploded all over the Balkans today.

SDF: Let's recapitulate: You're arguing that, because some Greens (Mr. Fischer et al.) do unGreen things, all Greens are phonies.

So, if we used this same logic, we could argue JUST AS YOU DID that, because a few Christians conducted the Spanish Inquisition and because a few Christians participated in the genocide against Native peoples in events such as the forced march along the Trail of Tears, that all Christians are phonies, that they don't really "turn the other cheek," and that they're all part of a genocidal conspiracy.

: Not a peep out of the "Earth Day Crowd", now is there?

SDF: No, actually the Greens are threatening to withdraw from the coalition that put Mr. Fischer in his current state office.
