At last! Some common sense reason by someone in power. I pray the rest of the states follow Governor Schwarzenegger's lead. It is time we stop letting the environmentalists hold us hostage. Look at the state of the nation right now. You can place a large percentage of the blame for our troubles on the environmentalists and the government bureaucracies who cater to them. The rest you can toss at the gross greed and irresponsibility of our banking and housing organizations and our democrat controlled Congress. But back to the environmentalists. Cut them off at the knees and let's take this portion of America's economy and vitality back.
Yes, we are stewards of this earth and must be wise in caring for the earth. But environmentalists cast wisdom aside decades ago and dove headfirst into the frothing at the mouth, wild-eyed "the sky is falling, the sky is falling" mentality. So much so that it is a miracle that anyone with a thinking mind bothered to listen.
Just a little reminder of what environmentalists have wrought:
Controlled burns save forests and yet in California, where environmentalists have ruled supreme and not allowed these without a fight, fires rage year round. There is no more fire season in California, it simply is on fire all the time. Blame that on the environmentalists not understanding how nature and man should work hand in hand to keep everyone safe, not just the furry little creatures of the forest.
A large portion of the blame for our energy crisis can be placed square on the shoulders of environmentalists. How? Well the technology has been developed to safely and clean plumb the resources of the earth for our energy needs, but environmentalists, and yes Obama is one of them, refuse to accept them and would prefer to see us shot back to the Dark Ages rather than follow a thinking, modern technology method to insure our quality of life.
I see celebrities hawking charities to save the polar bear, or save pets, or save this or save that . . . but in this economic turns, I've yet to see anyone with power or money stand up and say, "Let's gather together as Americans and save our people." We've donated hundreds of millions of billions of dollars to countries in trouble worldwide, but why have we not said to our own people, "We can pull out of this. Let's put our minds, hearts and wallets together and keep people in their homes and companies in business. Let's hold a fundraiser for the American people." That would keep the government out of our business . . . because that's what Americans use to do, take care of our own. When did that stop? When did Americans decide it was better to have the government take care of them than to take care of themselves?
So there are three examples of the extreme danger environmentalists pose to the American people. So now, to the article which made me smile today:
So read what William Warren has to say . . . love it! Stand up. Be heard. Be counted. Your livelihood is at stake . . . are you going to hug a tree or feed your family?

The environmentalist power elite in California is quickly turning green with envy now that Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger is bucking them for a change and siding with the people of California instead.
In fact, the Greens are fuming—far more so than the automobiles they so very much loathe.
In an uncharacteristic—yet highly welcomed—move, Mr. Schwarzenegger has decided to terminate the long-standing environmental regulations that currently serve as roadblock to vital state highway projects and development as a whole. The importance of such a move is heightened by the fact that California is mired in a colossal economic abyss and the removal of draconian eco-restrictions would significantly ease the state’s fiscal burdens—to the tune of some $1.2 billion.
Moreover, the proposed 10 highway projects would create 22,000 jobs over the next three years, the Governor says.
Unfortunately for the environmentalists—who have relished and abused their warm symbiotic relationship with the Governor for years—their crusade to thwart the dubious threat of “Global Warming” flies in the face of the economic viability of the state, the traffic concerns of its residents, and employment opportunities for its workers. As the Los Angeles Times tells it:
“Schwarzenegger has infuriated the Sierra Club and other groups with such proposals and with a letter he sent to President-elect Barack Obama last week asking that federal environmental reviews be waived on the highway projects.
‘This is a stunning turnaround by the governor, and I am baffled by it,’ said Tom Adams, board president of the California League of Conservation Voters.”
And Mr. Adams is entirely correct. Such actions do represent a turnaround—a turnaround that will hopefully prevent California from further veering away from the road to recovery and senselessly careening further into the slough of economic despond.
Mr. Adams also added that “[The Governor and GOP] want to hijack the budget process to enforce minority rule on the environment,” which, of course, ignores the fact that the California assembly is Democrat controlled, and a vast majority of Californians would likely prefer cold cash to hot rhetoric.
Among the projects causing this indignation among the Green ranks are a carpool lane expansion on U.S. 50 in Sacramento, a freeway-widening project in San Diego County, and a tunnel drilling plan into the Berkeley Hills. All of which could cut down on pollution by alleviating traffic back-ups and long commutes.
The real problem the California hot earthers have with Mr. Schwarzenegger’s proposal, of course, is not that it would increase pollution, but that it would decrease their powers. This despite the fact that the Governor would surrender his own prerogatives, as well. As the Times article states:
“Under Schwarzenegger's plan, environmentalists would not be alone in losing influence over how projects are constructed. The power of the governor's own resource protection agencies to intervene would also be weakened: A panel of administration appointees would be able to waive state regulations.”
Clearly, its time for the people of California—as well as their compatriots nationwide—to understand that the environmentalist lobby really cares very little about the well being of those who would suffer most from their economic antideluvianism. In fact, they would prefer to see any and all growth and prosperity stifled—and if that means a return to the Dark Ages for the hai polloi…well that’s a price the elitist hot earthers are more than willing to pay.
Operating under the false banner of “save the planet,” the Greens ultimate priority is to save their power. Faced with mounting evidence that mankind has nothing to do with global climate shifts and that the earth may indeed be cooling, environmentalists are starting to feel the pain of power erosion.
Now, with the recent nasty breakup with former best-buddy Arnold Schwarzenegger, their authority has been compromised within their very own stronghold of safety—California.
If the Greens can be checkmated in California, then there is indeed hope that the rest of the country can avoid the economic car wreck looming on the national horizon.
