NADER'S 2000 VETO - KNEEL DOWN & PAY HOMAGE
Advertisements [?]
Nader has almost become a name like Quisling or Benedict Arnold but if we can go beyond the dementia of conditioning, we can see that Nader is the man who forbid the Democratic Party from calcifying into republican lite. As the party searches for its and soul, we need to show great respect to Nader.

America's future must not be in the oil fields of Arabia or in the bombing of the innocent children of opec nations. We need this generation at home and not killing and dying in the streets of some third world country merely to satisfy pollution politicians thirst for oil, blood, and power.

By the force of our nation's collective will we can create a whole economy based on renewable energy. It might take a generation or two, but doesn't it make more sense to create in our own back yard what we really need to sustain our existence? That would be much better than following fossil pollution politicians to armageddon for the sake of an energy system that is toxic, expensive, temporary, and evil.

We subsidize our precious oil with a global military, multiple gulf wars, thousands of innocent dead (so-called collateral damage), our own dead and maimed youth, and a debt that we may never pay off. Let's instead put are money in renewable energy. At least the money would stay in this country and not go to some country were it would eventually end in the hands of terrorists.

Be ahead of the history curve. Give Ralph Nader his due.
