Reply #36: The Environment

[blindpig]

seems like a slam dunk to me. According to LCV 86% of Americans claim to be environmentalist. I think some of that support is soft when things get up close and personal but at the end of the day there will still be a strong majority in favor. Only a handful of greedy Randites and fundie whackjobs will out front oppose saving the earth though treachery and backdoor deals will always be a concern. It's sort of like the polls on religion: when asked most people will identify with the consensus good, even if they are not entirely clear or on board. This is a strength for us. The main problem is that so many Democrats are in bed with big business.

The ruling cabal is working overtime to wreck this planet in so many ways that the mind boggles. Energy, forests, mining, fisheries, air & water, endangered species and their habitats, they do it maximum wrong every time. Can we not hang these bastards with their obvious infamy?

The ESA is about to be mutilated and eviscerated by these pigs. Why not put the blessed and fortuitous rediscovery of the Ivorybilled Woodpecker to work for us? Make the Lawd God Bird our standard, emblem, talisman! Any who oppose the survival and restoration of this magnificent creature will be the vilest sort of scum.

The Environment is but one shaft in our quiver but it's a damn good one not to be ignored.
