Reply #43: I'd wondered why such a fearless eco-warrior was "taking on" the Sierra Club.

Thanks for the link. He's trying to settle an old score.

The loathsome racists at VDARE supported Watson's bid to turn the Sierra Club into an anti-immigration organization.

A war is being waged for the soul of the Sierra Club, the nation's premier environmental group. True conservationists, who want to preserve America's resources and natural heritage, have been working within the organization's democratic framework to return the 110-year-old group to policy positions that promote population sanity, foreign and domestic.

That means immigration reduction – which the Club’s liberal leaders explicitly eschewed in 1996.

The members have elected three outstanding immigration realists to the Board of Directors (15 total, with five chosen annually for three-year terms). They are: UCLA Prof. Ben Zuckerman (elected 2002); Wisconsin Secretary of State Doug LaFollette; Sea Shepherd founder Paul Watson (both elected in 2003). All are serious environmentalists of many years standing and worthy heirs to the tradition of Sierra Club founder John Muir.
