Earth Day?

Um, who cares?

Look I'm all for conservation, clean water, big trees, and all of that. No one would be against all of that. However in today's day and age the environmental nutcases have taken Earth day too far, especially when they start pushing their agenda to regulate your freedoms with such things as Cap and Trade taxes.

CO2 is good for plants, it is not a pollutant. You exhale CO2, plants convert that to O2 which you breath. The volcano in Iceland has expelled up to 300,000 tonnes per day of CO2, that's a lot and it's natural. It's the Earth expelling that kind of CO2 not man, not you, not me. Just search for it, you'll find lots about how much CO2 it is producing.

Now here is one of my favorite articles about one of the founders of Earth Day, Ira Einhorn. It would seem Mr. Einhorn wasn't a nice, tree hugging guy after all as he killed his girlfriend, Holly Maddux in a jealous rage.

I wanted to link to this article though to give my liberal friends easier access to this article about the Unicorn Killer.

While a lot of people see Earth day as some celebration I see it as a stepping stone by agenda driven politicians to curtail your freedoms. If Cap and Trade were implemented it would be on top of the ending of the Bush tax cuts (which EVERYONE who paid taxes got a big break in their taxes and many on the lower end of the pay scale were taken off of the tax rolls) and on top of the possible VAT which would tax everyone again on products they purchase.

So how many taxes are enough? There will be a definitive answer to that question in November when the people speak up and lend their voice to the discussion. It can't come soon enough for me.
