Michelle Cottle asks "What Would Jesus Drive?" and endorses a campaign by the Evangelical Environmental Network against SUVs. She sums up as follows:

. . . with Republicans now in charge of both the White House and Congress, our only hope for protecting the environment may be if thinking-green becomes a cause for the Christian right. Ralph Reed: Environmental Holy Warrior. Has a nice ring to it, no?

Do these people really think that God cares what we drive? As I understand it, Jesus walked everywhere, but he didn't have to be on time for work and he didn't have to deal with sleet and snow.


I'm coming to the conclusion that a lot of Democrats and Environmentalists have high school mentalities. Just look at Maureen Dowd. They don't seem to be able to tell the difference between what's really important and what's trivial, and they seem prone to adopting cause fads without the slightest bit of critical thought. They can't spot their own inconsistency. They complain constantly about the loss of our freedoms, while advocating more government dictates with apocalyptic fervor.
