Germany’s Green Bubble Follows Spain’s; Will Congress Waste More Billions on Ours?

It’s that time again, Lenin’s Birthday — sheer coincidence, I know…unless you talk to some folks who were around at the time, when Sen. Gaylord Nelson created this annual airing of the increasingly exaggerated grievances; remember, he was the same guy who went way to FDR’s left to institute collective bargaining for public employee unions.
The environment was just seen as the latest ‘victim of capitalism’ to which that team could lash their agenda, and that move really took off when the former supposed victim, the worker, shrugged off the yoke of communism leaving our redder friends little option but to don the green as Plan B.
Bringing us back to V.I., whose birthday is nothing to celebrate, as even the massive imposition of death and misery by the modern environmentalist movement pale in comparison to that which he unleashed.
Still, in practice, the two -isms do have quite a lot in common, as I quote so many greenie adherents saying in that best Earth Day gift or treat for one’s self, the Politically Incorrect Guide to Global Warming and Environmentalism.

I was shocked to find this on MSNBC Today.Earth Day co-founder killed, composted girlfriend
Ira Einhorn preached against Vietnam War and violence, but had dark side

Composting is pretty damn green, NJK, so there's that, at least. That should be enough to have given him a more lenient sentence, at least if the Judge was green.
On the other hand, you really shouldn't compost animal matter. It's best to stick to vegetable matter; do you think it's possible that the victim was a vegetable at the time? It's kind of a grey area, in that case.

NJK - BTW I posted yesterday on one of the 'earth' day blog entries here:
Earthday = Ira Einhorn
Anyone who was an adult when that was a news story won't have forgotten it.

Earth Day is Lenin's birthday and the illegal alien front groups always march on May Day.
Suppose there are connections. Can lightening

I covered the creepy origins of the propaganda day at my blog, including Ira Einhorn & Lenin. You can read it here:

Check out the picture of GlobeGirl there.
Those greenies do more harm than good, at my post you can read about the scary and extensive cleanup directions for if you break one of those "environmentally friendly" light bulbs we're forced to use now which are filled with poisonous mercury. Another example of bad consequences from these eco-nuts is what they did to gasoline; they added the chemical MBTE to make it burn "cleaner" and it ended up poisoning groundwater. We live on well water here and my well was poisoned with that crap.
Chris, I'll add your book to my wish list for the next time I can afford to buy a new book & I'll add it to my online bookstore so the people who read my blog can easily find it. My bookstore is here:

I'll put your book in my Books for Patriots section. :)

Has anyone told the Algoreists that the worst environmental scofflaws have been the Soviet Union and Communist China? Russia and Eastern Europe are just recovering from it.
I know that the media says the brown haze we see in China is a natural occurrence. Riight!
