One of the reason the communists have become environmentalists was that they either had to admit communism theory was wrong or come up with a reason why communism lost to capitalism. The theory they settled on was this.
According to classic communist theory, capitalism would result in a downward and endless spiral of living standards until the masses revolted. Didn’t happen. The ‘masses’ under captialism lived far better than those under communism. The communists developed the theory that the capitalists exploitation of the environment allowed them to subsidize the living standard avoiding the downward spiral. According to this theory, the communists only have to become environmentalists preventing the exploitation to subsidize the living standards of the ‘masses’ and the resulting downward spiral will result in the revolt and the world wide institution of communism. IOW, the enviro-communists do want to lower the living standards of everyone to incite a revolt placing themselves in power.
Of course, the big problem with this theory is the environmental record of the Soviet Union. Of course, the communist response is that the Soviet Union wasn’t really communist.
Let me see you give it all up for the cause while you are still alive and need food and shelter. This guy is a piece of work.
I think it is good these things are coming out in the open. It exposes motives and shows fence sitters what life could be like under the ECO-FACISTS. I pray this movement peaks and dies before the '08 election.
In my state you need a permit to prune your trees! You are forbidden to catch rainwater for any reason. (My grandmother used to keep a rain barrel so she could wash her hair in the soft water.) Taxes are so high that you are really just renting your free and clear home from the county! If you sell income property after many years of paying taxes, the state collects horrendous capitol gains, and the feds REALLY ream your profit! So much for private property in America.

You mean Al Gore-bachev?
Never in the history of the world has a system brought so much wealth and opportunity to anyone able and willing to work for it as ours. We have been very blessed. But people became so intent on gaining more and more they forgot to protect the country from slowly being taken over by an element dedicated to its destruction.
Something over fifty years ago, the ACLU, People for the American Way, and the NEA, etal would not have been permitted to exist. Life was good. Taxes were low. Allegiance to the Flag began each school day. A dollar was a dollar - not a nickel. Abortion was a crime. Marriages lasted because vows were kept. Mothers stayed home to raise the children. Schools were locally controlled, and PTA meetings were well attended.
At last Americans are beginning to wake up to find the country changed, with many freedoms lost, and, in many cases, life much harder than it used to be. I hope it is not too late!
