Question

Do you think environmentalists will be the fascists of this century and the downfall of our country?

Answer 1

There are a lot of things to be said for making changes in our lifestyles that are better for the environment. Some of the positive changes we've seen are the result of environmental activists.

There are, however, a lot of contradictions in the green platform. An example is the fluorescent light bulbs. Sure the fluorescents use less power and last longer than the incandesant bulbs but the toxic mercury and phosphorous used in the bulbs will eventually wind up in our landfills and cause even more serious problems.

It would be a mistake to allow a single issue party based on environmental platform. It would be a fascist government that would make changes for the common good based on some peoples opinion of what is good at the expense of individual rights and freedoms.

There was one environmental crank on the radio not too long ago who was protesting the construction of site C, a large hydro electric dam in Northern British Columbia. He stated he would rather see brownouts and rolling blackouts than see any type of electric plant built. That type of idealism is a form of fascism where you freeze in the dark for the sake of the environment. Such fascists as this crank must never be allowed in our governments.

Answer 2

Yes, they are killing American companies far as competition goes, they are killing the American workforce... American companies have to follow so many expensive guidelines in order to operate.. This means it cost more to operate so workers get paid less.. Why do you think many jobs went to Mexico? Why do you think many are still heading to China? its not all about cheaper labor but cheaper operating cost due to the fact of environmental laws.... Why do you think China is drilling of the shores of America for oil? Because American companies are not allowed at this point do to environmental laws.. Don't get me wrong, I agree we need to have environmental laws but their needs to be a balance and more studies... There is no 100% proof to global warming..

You look into History and you will see once a country stop its industrialization it is the beginning to the end.. America is doing just that, sending it elsewhere and not building them here... Only things being built here in America are warehouses to store all the goods we import, Very VERY few factories are built anymore...

Answer 3

They have all ready started the down fall...a bunch of self centered idiots that blow their ideas out of proportion..they obviously do not do real research before  they act

Answer 4

impossible - they are always the underdog

Answer 5

The answer my friend, is blowing in the wind. The answer is radioactive dust from depleted uranium used in weapons and in in the radioactive sand from uranium mine trailings.

It's interesting how the spin doctors can blame their opponents for the very thing they are doing. The cost of being environmentally responsible is negligible. The cost of being irresponsible is deadly.

What an absolutely ludicrous question. My answer is that it is the military - industrial - congressional complex that represents the fascists who will see the downfall of American civilization due to irresponsible greed. This group values profits over people.

If you like pollution, please move to a place that has lots of it.

Answer 6

All the leftists are trying to destroy America. But they would be harmless without the democrats doing what they demand. So if we remove all the democrats, all the kooks go with them.

Answer 7

No, quite the contrary.  I think they will be the heroes.

Answer 8

Absolutely. They are already the cause of many price increases and delays in private and public projects.

They worship this planet as if it were a god.

They follow a leader (Algore) that is a major fraud, but harps out the right words that tickle their ears.

They decry anyone and everyone that 'leaves a carbon footprint' on dear mother earth. If they truly believe their propaganda, they would be killing themselves faster than the Muslim vest bombers. They too leave a carbon footprint on their beloved godearth even as they sleep. So I wonder whats stopping their Exit?

As for me, this place is just a stop over until I get to my permanent home. Yeah, its like I'm just a renter....

Answer 9

Its almost like a religious cult.  I dont see anything wrong w/ taking personal responsibility to do more eco-friendly things, but when they buy into every global warming scam and start influencing law decisions then i take issue w/ them.  Animals become extinct.  Earth's climate changes.  Nothing they do will stop those things from happening.

The ethanol craze makes me want to punch people.

I dont think they alone will be the downfall of the country.  At least for the most part their heart is in the right place, no matter how misled they are.

Answer 10

Environmental ideologues (not real environmentalists) are only the beginning.  They are paving the way for the real fascists to gain power.  Then the real fascists will squash the environmental ideologues.

Those who see the real conflict brewing, rather than tilting at windmills, are the real hope for freedom.

Answer 11

If they are right and ignored we may not have a country...but they are up their own a$$es a bit...
