As I said in my previous post, nobody wants a dirty, unlivable planet. I've not met any "conservative", "moderate", or "liberal" who has ever wanted such a thing. That being said, a well-balanced plan for keeping our world clean, beautiful, and healthy is something I think all can agree on.
But it seems that there are now extremists who think that by having abortions and sterilizing themselves will "save the planet" because having babies is such a "selfish" thing to do! This is happening now!
Sound incredible? Could people really come to believe such a thing? Please read the following article: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/femail/article.html?in_article_id=495495&in_page_id=1879.
This is going on across the Atlantic, but I'm sure you'd find plenty of U.C. Berkeley students and professors on board with this. It is only a matter of time before it becomes a real political issue here in the U.S. China has been forcing abortions for years now. I would hold that the politicians in this country who are whole-heartedly pro-"choice" would have no problem with this supposed "enlightened" idea to save the planet. How ironic that the same people who would want so much power are asking their constituents to cause their own extinction.
There is a lot more going on here with this so-called "green" movement than meets the eye, and it is beyond the scope of this blog to go into detail.
We all need to do our homework, watch, and listen very closely to what is going on in the world today. The wizard of Oz said, "Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain", but it is there where we will find the truth behind this odd concept of "environmentalism".

Green Vs. Pro-Life
Being an avid fan of talk radio, and listening to all the moaning and groaning about all the "green" propaganda and all the "global warming" propaganda, one thing came out today on the Glenn Beck show that really got me to thinking; NBC is doing a "green week" on television, with almost all of their programming (from the "Today Show" to "Scrubs") having something to do with "green" issues.
The dirty little secret is that General Electric, the owners of the huge propaganda machine known as NBC, has a lot at stake. GE, makers of fine light bulbs everywhere, also makes plenty of other stuff that you hardly even think about. For instance, they make jet turbine engines used on all types of aircraft, and with that technology, they also make very high-tech windmills that produce electric power, high-tech solar panels, and who knows what else. I have nothing against GE, or their windmills, and being a former aircraft technician, have the utmost admiration for their fine engines.
But did you know that GE has a larger lobbying budget than ALL OF THE MAJOR OIL COMPANIES combined? Meaning, that if GE can get so-called "green" laws passed, they stand to make untold millions of dollars.
It has always frustrated me that it seems pro-lifers are almost always put in the same category as big-business loving, pollution-generating, war-mongering bigots by big media, and therefore, pro-life, as a cause, will always be divisive, and will never have their own "Al Gore" making movies and getting Peace Prizes and accolades, much less an entire week of television dedicated to pro-life. The problem, it seems, is that the only ones able to make a buck off of the abortion issue is Planned Parenthood. The pro-life issue is so much more concrete than so-called global warming issue, yet that is what sells advertising on t.v. shows, and puts big money into lobbying groups.
I don't know anyone who wants to drink polluted water, or live in filth, or breath dirty air. But it is easy to build that straw man, and knock him down. Global warming may very well be happening. Or, it could be global cooling. There is much evidence that many of the so-called "facts" and "science" on this issue is flawed, and that there are many good scientists that admit they don't know, or that if the earth is warming, there is not enough proof that it is caused by man. But you won't hear it in the mainstream media. Because, there is much money to be made if you buy Mr. Gore's story, hook, line, and sinker.
My point is this: Beware of "bandwagon" issues. The easiest way to spot them is to watch who is making the biggest profit from it all. What would happen if the folks at GE (or any HUGE corporation) suddenly became pro-life? But we who volunteer our time and money to the pro-life cause will continue, big lobbying budget or not, because it is the right thing to do.
