President Obama Spent Earth Day Polluting

President Obama Spent Earth Day Polluting

On Earth Day, which was April 22nd, President Obama spoke at a Des Moines, Iowa plant that makes towers for wind turbins.

The President's 1,800 mile trip to and from Des Moines burned 9,116 gallons of fuel. That does not include the gasoline used by the motorcade and all the various support vehicles.

So much for being Earth friendly.

Then again the tale enumerated above sums up the entire environmental movement. The message calling on others to save the Earth is often delivered in a way that's as damaging as the forces the message claims is putting the Earth in peril.

Bottom line, Earth Day, which is now four decades old, and the movement associated with it, is a joke.

It's nothing more than a way for socialist and anti-capitalist forces to redistribute wealth and to tell people how to live.

Us puny humans are in no way going to destroy the Earth. We couldn't if we tried.

Look at the recent eruption of Mt. Eyjafjallajokull in Iceland. That little volcano puffs a little bit, sends a smidgen of ash into the atmosphere, and the world's air travel nearly comes to a screeching halt.

Yeah, and my 12 mpg SUV is going to destroy the world.

Over the past year, scientists supporting the myth of global warming have been revealed as charlatans, liars, and cheats.

Again, more proof that modern environmentalism is a punchline.

The resources on our planet have been put here for us to use. Humans subjugate the environment not the other way around. It's kinda the basis for civilization.

Yes we should be respectable of our environment. Yes, we should recycle, conserve, and preserve. But whenever humans and the environment clash, humanity should win.

We need practical environmentalism even if such a notion is deemed OLD.
