21. They do truly fear environmentalism
Mon Feb 13, 2012, 01:51 PM

Being puppets for the wealthy they are doing all they can to shift public opinion towards them from what will be ever increasing news stories about the effects of climate change. They are now busy laying the groundwork of denial labeling prognosticators and journalists as Satan's puppets of the liberal media.
Sadly for them this issue knows no party bounds. I have been able to speak to people who years ago belittled any kind of environmentalism as "crazy hippies" but who now clearly see the loss of salmon, the trees dying at an ever increasing rate, the decreasing amounts of fresh water. They see this and they don't want it to get worse. The Masters of the Universe fear this thinking for in it they only see loss of profits.
I keep hoping at some point my party will start to aggressively pursue supporting the environment over personal wealth. I believe it will happen, has to happen, soon. If we want to remember things like redwood forests as more than just pictures on an electronic screen.
