You know, this sounds exactly like the same alarmist crap I’ve been hearing from these types for the last 40 years. We’re always running out of everything except alarmist eggheads that want to make everyone live in the dark and eat grass. Screw ‘em!

If your complaint is that left-wingers exploit environmentalism to steal our liberties I am ready at a minute's notice to take my flintlock down from the mantle and join you on the ramparts.

But if you are telling me, a person who has witnessed the doubling of the population of America in his lifetime, that our conservative liberties are not threatened by unrestrained population growth, I will tell you that if you in fact have connection with Idaho your whole lifestyle is threatened by the sheer gnawing, insatiable appetites of a population exploding out of control.

Either we as conservatives face up to the implications of runaway population growth or we will end up living subterranean lives in a civil liberties sense like a rats in an urban environment with no conservative liberties to bequeath to our kids.

Same old lie as always. They try to make it sound like we’re “filling” the planet with immortal flesh and blood beings that can only absorb what the planet contains and give nothing back after (our natural) death that somehow won’t occur.

“The battle to feed all of humanity is over. In the 1970’s and 1980’s hundreds of millions of people will starve to death in spite of any crash programs embarked upon now.”
- Paul Ehrlich - the first sentence of his 1968 ``The Population Bomb’’

Yep same crap different day.
