Port in a Storm [View all]
I'm not real optimistic about any kind of bipartisanship these days. I thought this article was a really good synopsis of where we are today on environmental issues that used to just be taken for granted as things everybody pretty much agreed on.
Strip away the sportsmen, the believers in sound science, and those who think it immoral to destroy our nations resources from the GOP and it starts to become a very lonely place. Without these groups it becomes a party of millionaires, presumably sitting around discussing Ayn Rand, complaining about how difficult it is to be rich in America and shooing away fringe lunatics who want to see President Obamas birth certificate.
Port in a Storm-Politics of the Environment
This is an interesting discussion of whether or not environmental issues can be used to wake up some Republicans and restore at least a bit of bi-partisanship to our political debate. I think its worth the 5 minutes it takes to read. (I think he forgot about the racists, Luddites, & Fox News/Limbaugh zombies who will never abandon the GOP, but the idea is the same
)
