The high cost of radical environmentalism

Richard Viguerie:

Radical environmentalists and their liberal mouthpieces in Washington are responsible for the current energy crisis – crippling the economy while imposing a heavy burden directly on the American people, especially on working people and small business people, and endangering our national security.

Thanks to the environmentalists and their liberal friends, we have gasoline at over $4 a gallon and milk as high as $5.25 a gallon.

These radical environmentalists -- many of whom promote internationalism and use violence and terrorism as a force for change -- and their friends are responsible for the deaths of millions by malaria (caused by the DDT ban) and, soon, the deaths of hundreds of thousands or millions by starvation (caused by ethanol/biofuels production, which drives up the price of food worldwide).

They are even responsible for many of the great environmental disasters, such as the tinderbox nature of our Western forests (due to restrictions on clearing forest land), and the loss of rainforest (due to the clearing of land for biofuels production).

It’s time to go on the offense politically against environmentalists and their co-conspirators in Big Business as well as the media and make them pay a major political price for the harm they have caused.

As I’ve noted before: We need to make our case in every venue open to us including: talk radio, TV, press releases, syndicated columns, op-ed articles, newsletters, media interviews, letters-to-the-editor, blogs, e-mails, political debates, and resolutions at political party meetings/conventions, local government meetings, etc., etc.

It’s time to fight back at every level, and that includes in the U.S. Congress. It’s time to challenge every single measure that has been passed as part of the great eco-scam and to make our own legislative assault.

Sorry about the lack of a link. This came in one of Viguerie's email alerts, but his point is certainly valid. It goes beyond just the high cost of fuel and the dependency on those who don't like us. The environmentalist are the underbrush in our forest that are feeding the flames of forest fires and the high cost of food and other commodities.
