Republicans Seek to Destroy Environment
#2
RE: Republicans Seek to Destroy Environment
Never underestimate the greed of the other party.
Republicans are traditionally about smaller government (and huge profits) . Bush 43 was one of the best examples of a GOP member during the campaign and a swift turn coat to Liberal after the USSC gave him the nod.

The environment, for both parties, is something to be exploited. It's what happens when the electorate thought an oil man was a great choice for President, and it'll happen repeatedly as long as there's something in nature that can ring a profit. While those ultra-right wing Conservative types, who refuse to let a woman have the right to decide for her own body, are more than happy to decide for the future generations that they the power and the corporations they serve have every right to exercise that proverbial dominion over the earth and everything that walk, crawls, flies or lies buried beneath their feet.

One activists worry over global warming is a another activists golden egg. And it's not like we can't manipulate our environment in some way. Especially with what we're being told we're already responsible for altering it to the level of "climate change" or "global warming crisis" already. What ith all those satellites up there and HAARP and all manner of other things we know nothing about holding the potential to do what sci-fi thought possible, while head in the sands deny anything is possible and dismiss any chance they could be wrong with; that's just conspiracy theory. (No, it's not a theory when it's a conspiracy of facts!) It's government. If nothing in our history has ever resounded so loudly it's that government is capable of anything.

All legislation that stands to make puppet masters big profits, stands every chance of passing. Always has always will. It's all out of our hands anyway. We can email, snail mail, set in on legislative sessions, and we have nothing on influencing our representative government like the multi-million dollar lobby's, Corporations and special interests. Domestic and Foreign.

And nothing about that is ever going to change. Sure as hell not with the Tea's backed by the cartoon pair featured in the OP. Because people have been programmed to fear getting in trouble, getting tasered, getting arrested, losing their job due to zero tolerance policies that can be enacted against anything an employer chooses and virtually enforced not only at work but off the clock too, because we're an "at will" employment nation. People don't want to risk what they've got, lose what they think they own, while taking a chance at fighting for what they want.

It's much easier to bitch and feel that's enough.

Till that changes, it will be.

That's a great American tragedy. One of many.
