Environmental Commercials Attack! (Also, why environmentalism is dangerous for America.)

This won’t be politically correct of me to say, but when has that ever bothered me before? The “Go Green” crowd, the enviro-wackos, the big green business machine, they’ve got their brainwashing propaganda going in full swing! They’ve got a brand new touchy, feely, sentimental, commercial that is sure to make you want to run outside and hug a tree!

Have you seen it? It’s for a Ford hybrid SUV. It features a little girl lecturing her dad about the type of automobile he drives. She asks him to drop her off a couple of blocks away from her school because all of her friends parents either bicycle or drive hybrid vehicles. The poor little girl is obviously embarrassed by her father’s SUV. Her dad then tells her that the SUV he’s driving is a hybrid. She then says to him, “Dad why haven’t you talked to me about this before!” The little girl then smiles, and the commercial comes to an end. It was such a touching moment that I wanted to puke.

They showed this during the World Series last night and it made me want to go out on my deck and spray all the aerosol cans I could find inside. It made me want to start a leaf fire, a garbage fire, a rubber tire fire, or just some uncontrollable flatulence.

“Andy you’re such an angry young man! Why would you want to react in such a way?”

I’m losing all hope for humanity. How many people have been hoodwinked by Al Gore and his crowd of enviro-loonies? More and more average people are buying into this garbage. The theory of man-made global warming is highly debatable! I mean, humans haven’t been keeping records long enough to ever know what the long term affects of our presence are! Yet the push continues and it’s fueled by a variety of hucksters and quacks. You’ve got the greenies from groups like the Sierra Club, PETA, etc. You’ve also got the secular humanists on board who worship the earth and believe it’s all we’ve got (no heaven, no hell, no afterlife.) You’ve got big corporations on board who are making some big bucks by pushing this crap. You’ve got trendy progressives who only care about how they look (they want to look like they care, and feel good about themselves.)

“Andy, so what! Who cares! Let them have their “cause” even if you think it’s stupid.”

If only it were that easy. Unfortunately this crowd wants to do major changes to the way people live their lives in the name of their “cause.” Let’s take a look at some of the things done in the name of “saving the planet!”

-Time and energy are being wasted on battling real problems that affect life on this planet. (How many babies are aborted each year?)
-The family and human life are shown no respect and in many ways are under attack by those calling for population control.
-We’re dependent on foreign countries (some of which can at least indirectly be linked with terrorism) for our oil supplies when we could be drilling right here in the USA.
-We could also have an alternative energy source in nuclear energy but the environmentalists keep that from happening too, look at France!
-The automobile industry is suffering because of all of the restrictions in place. More and more are being proposed that could cripple the industry.
-The logging industry has suffered and people have lost careers.
-Some say the reason we’re having wildfires like we are now is because of the pressure to NOT clean up brush and undergrowth in our forests, leaving a virtual tinderbox.
-Private property rights are being taken away through eminent domain in the name of the environment.
-Millions of taxpayer dollars are being wasted to promote ethanol production which has not proven an effective alternative to crude oil. (I also can’t forget to mention how this affects affects the cost of food at the grocery store because the cost of corn has gone up.)

Those are just a few examples that come to mind! So don’t tell me that it’s nothing to get upset over, it’s everything to get upset over. It’s money, it’s time and energy, and it’s big government that infringes on the rights of people. This should have everyone very concerned.

“Andy, don’t you often argue that the culture needs to be cleaned up morally, and that the government needs to be involved in that?”

My first call is never for the government to do more, it’s always for parents and families to do more, and for pressure to be put on the forces that propagate the morally destructive agenda. You see, the environmentalist wackos are in some ways tied in with these folks. It’s a philosophy. Heck it’s a religion. Environmentalism, human secularism they go hand in hand and often times work together to destroy the ideas and values that this country was founded on.

The difference between arguing for one and against the other has to do with the fact that I’m a traditionalist. I believe that the traditions and Judeo-Christian values that our country was based on are good and right. I believe in God, and I believe that America was founded out of a desire for freedom to know God and to make Him known.
