Unsustainably Green

The Sustainability and Green movements came from the 1992 UN Earth Summit. This group created UN Agenda 21, Project 60 and ICLEI. these are programs designed to protect the earth at your expense. George H W Bush, the hapless, agreed to these plans and grant money flowed. The man-made global warming myth was developed by “political scientists” to use junk science to support the notion that “global warming” needed to be reversed at all cost.

“Green” folks are a unique phylum of Liberal. They are right-brain nature lovers and they drank the kool-aide. They have been political activists ever since Three Mile Island and the Hudson river caught on fire. They have been successful in getting the federal and state governments to spend trillions on wildlife preserves, uninhabited national parks and they run the EPA. Because they also own the federal government, grant money has flowed to biology departments for the first time in human history. The current task is to do studies that support man-made climate change. Using junk science. They have given “political science” a whole new meaning.

The problem with “green” is cost. We get electricity from coal and nuclear powered plants.for 2 cents per kwh. Wind and solar still cost over 10 cents per kwh. If “greens” had their way, we would be spending 5 times more for our electricity. The second problem is that they hate cars and want us to live in urban transit villages, so we can walk and bike everywhere. Our current infrastructure supports living in suburbs and driving our cars everywhere. Scrapping this lifestyle and its infrastructure just isn’t in the cards. They like public transit with heavy tax subsidies; they like trains and they love light rail. The problem with these is that they don’t go where we need to go. They are, therefore, low use, heavily subsidized, very expensive failed business plans, buried in impenetrable government bureaucracies.

UN Agenda 21 allowed “green” to be written into our planning and zoning ordinances. The George Soros funded ICLEI trains our city council reps in the ways of “green” and UN Agenda 21 implementation.

Tea Party Thoughts

We want to quit the UN, close it and send it to Somalia. We want to repeal all overreach in environmental regulations. We want to drill oil and natural gas everywhere. We want to sell all state and federal lands to the private U.S. citizens and U.S. corporations. We want to close the Department of Education and voucher students into non-public schools. We want all transit to be private, unsubsidized businesses. We want to keep our coal and nuclear electric power plants. We want to keep our cars.

We don’t like appointed government commissions or unelected officials or taxing entities. We want state, citiy and county government to stick to the basics and the federal government to drop half of what it’s doing and comply with the U.S. Constitution and 10th Amendment as written.

Are We Barbarians ?

Yes. But we want to end ocean dumping, adult-proof packaging and plastic disposable water and soda bottles. We want garbage recycling to cost less than mixed garbage dumping. We want to end disposable electronics and disposable everything. We want to end ethanol. We want a non-union phone company. We want to pay for cable by the channel and we pick the channels . We want to keep our incandescent light bulbs. We are mad as hell and we’re not gonna take it any more !

Hey Norb,

I'd like to extend an invitation for you and your members to attend the Dunwoody Candidate Forum on Sustainability, sponsored by the Dunwoody Student Volunteer Organization. 10/25 6-9 pm at Peachtree Middle School. During the meet & greet (6-6:45 pm), the kids will have homemade cookies and coffee provided by Starbucks as a small fundraiser. The proceeds are going towards installing vegetable gardens in each of the public schools in Dunwoody. Pretty neat, eh?

Also, stop by one of the city's Sustainability Commission meetings. Held the second Thursday of each month at 7:45 AM (yes, early in the morning) at city hall. Here's info on what the commission does for our community:

We're always looking for volunteers. I'm helping organize a Kid's Bike Rodeo at Brook Run on 10/29 and could always use some help:
