Hypocritical Environmentalists? Say it ain't so!

Glenn Reynolds: "Environmentalists, like feminists, are just another arm of the Democratic establishment: 'running dogs' to be loosed or reined in as politics require. It is thus unnecessary to pay attention to what they say, since it’s just politics anyway."

I hope that enough of us are catching on and will give them the distrust they deserve. A lot of politicians are crooks, but some are far worse than others. We ought to elect people who will cut spending, return responsibility to the states, communities and the people and reduce the size and scope of government. Too much power corrupts, and all of these "movements" become about building and maintaining their power eventually. The Tea Party movement right now are the revolutionaries in the spirit of our founders, but they should never become a political party. All good citizens should work to promote the principles of limited government, personal responsibilities to accompany our rights, and never forget that a government big enough to give you everything also has enough to take it all away.
