A reminder from Weekend Pundit who environmentalists really are:

So true, so true:

Along with the above story, there’s this from Powerline digging into the lies the watermelon environmentalists tell themselves in order to keep working to impoverish everyone….except themselves.

There’s an old line that environmentalists are “watermelons”–green on the outside, red on the inside. A lot of environmentalists will take great offense if you say this: No no! We like economic growth and capitalism just fine! We just want it to be “sustainable,” whatever that means. And don’t ask for specificity about what “sustainability” means in detail, unless you have a lot of time and a full bottle of hootch handy. Before long you’ll figure out that “sustainable” is just a code word for green things we like, and that it has no rigor whatsoever aside from old-fashioned factor-efficiency, which economists figured out over a century ago at least.

But anyway, environmentalists resist being called socialists.

Yet that is exactly what many of them are. They’ve just donned camouflage by using the environment as an excuse to institute socialism by a different means

WP is a mandatory  Sunday night or Monday morning read – I should be linking back more often!  Here DCE (aka, Chan) is exactly right – they believe that they have the GAIA given right to boss everyone else around, take control of their lives, and eliminate their Freedom just for something that MIGHT happen centuries down the road (after all, how many 15, 10, or “WE ONLY HAVE 5 YEARS BEFORE CATASTROPHE ARRIVES!!” panic attacks have we had to endure?).  In fact, it was Chan that first introduced me to the term “watermelon socialists”.

Socialist / Communists / Environmentalists / Progressives – if we give into them, the result is the same from all four groups (although I bet a VENN diagram would show little that DOESN’T intersect).
