Global Warming on Free Republic
Posted on 06/24/2008 11:17:57 AM PDT by JZelle
To their everlasting horror, the global-warming alarmists have discovered that ExxonMobil advertises with the Washington Nationals.
This act of free enterprise cannot go unpunished, so the global-warming alarmists have initiated a campaign to educate the Lerner family and baseball-supporting public in the hope the Nationals will end their relationship with ExxonMobil.
It is unclear whether the global-warming alarmists walked to the ballpark from their homes, took mass transportation or drove there in an automobile. That, of course, is often the rub with the global-warming zealots.
They talk a good game if it concerns you, your neighbor and the person down the block. They just do not always practice what they preach, no one more comical in that regard than Al Gore, the high priest of global warming forever preaching the gospel of carbon offsets from his private jet and energy-guzzling residence in Tennessee.
The global-warming alarmists held placards outside the ballpark's gates that urged fans to boo during the ExxonMobil-sponsored seventh-inning stretch. And boo they did. Other signs called for ExxonMobil to be banned from Nationals Park, which earned a silver rating from the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design, the first U.S. sports venue to claim that distinction.
Of course, it is easy to be disgusted with the bogeyman known as Big Oil. Its overpaid executives stand on street corners all across America and persuade gullible motorists to pull into the nearest gas station and fill up.
The thought of the Nationals possibly awarding the ballpark's naming rights to ExxonMobil sends a shiver up the spine of the global-warming alarmists, which is not to be confused with the thrill that is going up the leg of Chris Matthews.

Someone should get photos of these people filling up their autos at gas stations and especially filling up at ExxonMobil gas stations and then post them on the Internet.
I love baseball!! I think I’ll go fill up my suburban at Exxon!!!
So it’s possible that the naming rights to the ballpark will be sold to Exxon Mobil? Hmmm........
I guess they are supposed to sell the naming rights to socially responsible corporations. There is U.S. Cellular Field, Petco Park, AT and T Park, Minute Maid Park, Lincoln Financial Field, Heinz Field, etc. etc. Remember Minute Maid Park used to be Enron Field.
Can’t think of all of them off the top of my head, but should we make sure that a company sponsoring a stadium be socially responsible?
Bet they would be freaked at the sight of a big old Conoco gas pump out in center field at Minute Maid Park. Come on guys, wear your polar bear outfits in downtown Houston. We got a spot on the wall at the hunting lodge that is just about big enough to mount a bear head. That is if they didn’t have heat stroke from wearing a fur coat in Houston first. Maybe they could buy a ticket and go into the AIR CONDITIONED stadium and watch the roof open around the 5th inning letting all that cold air take off. energy efficient - NOT.
“Remember Minute Maid Park used to be Enron Field.’
We used to call it Ten Run field. Unfortunately it was the visitors hitting that short right field fence.
I’m sure they all get their gas at Citgo.
When are we going after the lawyers?
Global Warming on Free Republic
This is eerily similar to what happened to the cigarette manufacturers before they got sued. The pols and activists gin up anger and hate so that no one can support the villanous offender. Its much easier to kill your prey when they have no cover or defense. I hate environmentalists.
Who would they name these things after? In Grand Rapids, the city I live near, one of the founders of a local company, Amway, donated quite a bit of money to the construction of the local museum, and now it is called the Van Andel public museum. The local moonbats wanted to call it the Peoples’ museum.
