Only a Liberal…

Just read the excerpt from the Associated Press:

Winemakers and grape growers who forgo pesticides, sow cover crops, reduce waste and energy consumption, provide workers health insurance, and are mindful of their non-farming neighbors will be able to distinguish themselves as certifiably sustainable under a new third-party audit system announced Wednesday by the Wine Institute, a public policy advocacy group.

The article is titled, “Red, White or Green? Calif. Wine Choices Expand.” So believe it or not, the term “Green” now also covers health insurance. Whether a company is considered “sustainable” depends on whether employees of that business are given health insurance.

I will not be nice here. If you have bought into the green nonsense for all these years, you are an idiot. WHAT DOES HEALTH INSURANCE HAVE TO DO WITH THE ENVIRONMENT? And you’re sustainable if you’re “mindful of your non-farming neighbors”? What kind of irrational babbling is this? Being “mindful” is now environmentally friendly.

The Green movement has NOTHING to do with saving the environment. At its best, it is a feel-good (but no good) meaningless movement to label some businesses as evil and hurtful and others as good and compassionate. At its worst, it is simply communism wearing the mask of environmentalism.

The Green movement supports electric cars and opposes gasoline cars, even though the environmental impact is identical. Electricity pollutes when it is created (with coal mostly) and is clean when used. Gasoline is clean when created and pollutes when used. There is no difference. The only way currently to make electricity cleaner is nuclear power… which the green movement opposes.

So why would the green movement support something that doesn’t prevent pollution and oppose something that does? Because the Green movement doesn’t give a crap about the environment. They hate capitalism. They hate corporations. Here’s a great excerpt illustrating the Green/Red movement:

At the 12/09 Copenhagen U.N. Climate Change Summit, Hugo Chavez, the nutty quasi dictator of Venezuela got huge applause. What new scientific data did he provide? Why was he even there at all?

He said the process in Copenhagen was “not democratic, it is not inclusive, but isn’t that the reality of our world, the world is really an imperial dictatorship…down with imperial dictatorships.” [Rousing round of applause]

[There was a] “silent and terrible ghost in the room” [a ghost called capitalism] [even louder applause]

“our revolution seeks to help all people…socialism, the other ghost that is probably wandering around this room, that’s the way to save the planet, capitalism is the road to hell….let’s fight against capitalism and make it obey us.” [standing ovation]

Nevermind that the attendees all showed up to the conference in private jets that they supposedly think are killing the planet.

Nevermind that opposing drilling for oil in the U.S. simply exports the task to countries who don’t have an EPA, and therefore hurts the environment more than if we did it ourselves.

The Green movement does not care about the environment. The evidence is staggering.
