Why do US Richclass Republicans ride fences & back damaging industrial acts saying “it’s just temporary”?

US Richclass Republican fence riding:

“Kansas Republican Gov. Sam Brownback said that while he supports exploring alternative energy sources like wind and solar, he also supports building the $7 billion Keystone XL pipeline…”

US Richclass Republican hedging on environmental destruction:

“Kansas Republican Gov. Sam Brownback said that… he also supports building the $7 billion Keystone XL pipeline because “for the foreseeable future we’re going to need oil.’”

Do US Richclass Republicans think we’re so stupid that we (US working class) are unable to construct return attacks — SUCH AS MY QUESTION HEREWITH??

Who gives a damn about the Kardashians and WHY?

I do not watch the show but hear about it all the time from other people and even supposedly real ‘news‘ shows. Who frickin cares, why do people care about these spoiled rich, no talent brats? Why don’t they do something worthy with their luck of being blessed to be born into wealth…like helping the poor, teaching people or helping people to live green to help save the planet, raising money for research to cure cancer, aids or any other catastrophic disease? Anything except their self indulgent life of self promotion. They are right down there with Paris Hilton, and all the dozens of other stupid reality “stars” with no talent. The world climate and environment is in crisis, we need to get some kind of health INSURANCE reform, people are dying for wars over OIL when we should be conserving our water because that is what will be the next cause of war…very soon. Alternative energy options, green jobs…..If you think I am wrong, just Google H.A.A.R.P. (they are actually bending the ionosphere to Change the weather patterns-weather warfare) and ‘The Truth About The Pickens Plan’ (“green-washing” building giant wind power mills while actually buying up all the water and land rights so TBoone Pickens can be the very first water tycoon owning the Ogallala water aquifer http://www.waterencyclopedia.com/Oc-Po/Ogallala-Aquifer.html and check out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=70HFEHB6dag ), the coal ash spill in Tenn./worse environmental disaster in US history http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ekoWkRx9K8M&feature=player_embedded ….. Geez! Wake up America!

Is Obama keeping his promise to bankrupt the coal industry?

In 2008, Sen. Barack Obama told the San Francisco Chronicle that he planned on intentionally bankrupting the coal industry. He said the following:

“Let me sort of describe my overall policy,” Obama began. “What I’ve said is that we would put a cap and trade system in place that is as aggressive, if not more aggressive, than anybody else’s out there.”

“So if somebody wants to build a coal-powered plant, they can; it’s just that it will bankrupt them because they’re going to be charged a huge sum for all that greenhouse gas that’s being emitted,” Sen. Obama said further. “That will also generate billions of dollars that we can invest in solar, wind, biodiesel and other alternative energy approaches.”

Remember also that, in addition to bankrupting the coal industry and effectively putting thousands out of work, under his plan of a cap and trade system, Obama promised that “electricity rates would necessarily skyrocket”?

So instead of using cap and trade, is Obama using the EPA to achieve his goal?

want some proof that drilling for oil will do nothing?

http://news.brisbanetimes.com.au/world/opec-to-cut-oil-output-as-prices-plunge-analysts-20081019-53×4.html

there you go. as oil would be sold on world market it is now obviously clear opec will do whatever they can to manipulate the price to their likings. seriously if oil is drilled in the US opec will just continue to slash their production so prices will go nowhere.

i just hope world leaders might actually start to invest in alternative energy properly so we’re no longer held to ransom by oil and oil producing countrys
no id rather al gore had won and we’d all be driving hyrdo carbon or electric cars by now and paying about 10c a litre to do so in petrol terms

Great job Obama US Biofuels are dead do you still want carbon credits?

nice story to su up the death of biofuels in the US here
http://finance.yahoo.com/news/Bad-year-for-biofuel-ends-on-apf-896269665.html?x=0

personally i don’t mine that the tax credit killed them because as a conservative i say if you cant swim you sink however liberals beloved EU put huge tariffs on them so i feel sorry for them in that respect

that being said its the liberals that so desperately wanted us off OPEC and whine about “peak oil”
and i kinda agree with them on getting off OPEC one of these days and bio fuels would have been a step in that direction

my final q isn’t new alternative energy more important than health care on a strategic level
yet the story makes it clear by 2022 we will be no where close to getting off foreign oil
your thoughts on Obama not being serious on this issue yet has been throwing around money like its no tomorrow :/

What is the best eco-friendly industrial cleaning supplier, with products that are affordable and effective?

Our organization is renting space in a building that uses toxic cleaners. They are happy to switch if we can recommend alternative products that aren’t much more expensive (probably means in bulk) and work well. The primary need is for them to be free of synthetic fragrances/deodorizers, ammonia, bleach, and other toxic and irritating ingredients. They need an all-purpose cleaner, a window cleaner, and a deodorizing product.

Why government of India are not emphasising on eco-friendly products?

As such no generation of humanity has full and absolute right to dominate others on the earth. Every body has to live her only as a tenant, with full responsibilities to repair the damage done to the earth.For doing this we have to UNITE with each other and make a ECO– FRIENDLY CLUB in each & every state.

how do eco friendly products help us?

From where I can find eco friendly home décor products in Miami?

Where can I find holiday products that are eco friendly?

I need to find holiday products but I want them to be environmentally friendly…. any help???

isn’t Obama stealing (borrowing) Dennis Kucinich’s plan from 2004/2008 here?

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20081122/ap_on_go_pr_wh/obama_economy

not complaining but it is not the first time he took the same things Kucinich said for years. I don’t know..although I voted for him, I just don’t trust him like I do Kucinich.

any comments on this question or Obama’s plan to create millions of jobs..about time they do some alternative energy things.
look you frickin b..I voted and campaigned for thew man. i have a right, due to our freedom of speech laws, to comment on him. Another coward who makes rude comments and blocks email comments. I like the guy, but he did steal Kucinich’s plan and take the credit himself. You get over it, loser

Do you think Barack Obama is the new FDR?

That’s what I heard them say on the news. He’s certainly going to have more challenges to face than any President since FDR. Our economy is in the worst shape since The Great Depression. Do you think his new program to invest in alternative energy is another New Deal with a new alphabet soup program? Do you think he’ll legalize pot and tax the $hit out of it like FDR repealed Prohibition? I know he wants to legalize stem-cell research which I’m all in favor of.
FDR was Franklin Delano Roosevelt. He was arguably the most popular President we ever had. He is the only President to have served more than two terms. He died during his fourth term.
I am in favor of stem-cell research because most of those cells are going to be destroyed anyway. I believe it’s past time we legalized it so we can find a cure to cancer, AIDS, paralysis, and other diseases. If the US is the greatest country in the world and we always have to tell other people how to run their governments, then the least we can do is lead by example.

Is the United States in decline?

According to news reports many nations are looking to the euro as a better currency. The high tech jobs that still are here are being filled by h1b visa workers and gates wants to increase the quota. military aircraft are now being built by airbus in favor boeing. It seems our government does not invest in it’s people as it is seeking to send our tax dollars overseas. meanwhile our economy works for the superrich but for the rest of us we’re treading water or sinking. not to mention the gas prices are sky high. after 8 years of bush our country is not prepared for the future. we have no alternative energy strategy. bush wants us to be dependant on his oil buddies. i really feel the US is in decline because of policies that target the short term but do not prepare the nation for the futre. the other huge burden is bush iraq policy which is a financial heavy weight and has tarnished our image worldwide. Prove me wrong but i don’t see things looking very good for this country.

Climategate: the final nail in the coffin of ‘Anthropogenic Global Warming’?

If you own any shares in alternative energy companies I should start dumping them NOW. The conspiracy behind the Anthropogenic Global Warming myth (aka AGW; aka ManBearPig) has been suddenly, brutally and quite deliciously exposed after a hacker broke into the computers at the University of East Anglia’s Climate Research Unit (aka Hadley CRU) and released 61 megabites of confidential files onto the internet.

When you read some of those files – including 1079 emails and 72 documents – you realise just why the boffins at Hadley CRU might have preferred to keep them confidential. As Andrew Bolt puts it, this scandal could well be “the greatest in modern science”. These alleged emails – supposedly exchanged by some of the most prominent scientists pushing AGW theory – suggest:

Conspiracy, collusion in exaggerating warming data, possibly illegal destruction of embarrassing information, organised resistance to disclosure, manipulation of data, private admissions of flaws in their public claims and much more.

But perhaps the most damaging revelations – the scientific equivalent of the Telegraph’s MPs’ expenses scandal – are those concerning the way Warmist scientists may variously have manipulated or suppressed evidence in order to support their cause.

When will Barack Obama put out a good political ad?

He is either trying to link Bush to McCain, with that whole 95% of the time he voted for Bush , But Barack has voted 100% PARTY LINE, that is not a unity centered , if bush is soo dumb and bad, hey why would barack vote 40% of the time with him?politician.policies.http://www.factcheck.org/askfactcheck/is_it_true_john_mccain_voted_with.html

the other thing barack has been doing is bad talking Iraq, o.k. so Iraq has a good profit from oil revenue, GUESS WHAT? at least NOW the people will see some of this, and NOT a dictator! obama is foolish when he dogs Iraq,>>the last paragraph<<http://news.yahoo.com/s/mcclatchy/3010139
does obama want them to spend it fast and foolish like another certain government we know ( ours )?

“Fast Track” alternative energy, HOW? we have been fast tracking it for the past 20 years.

And the last thing i want is a canadite to try and BRIBE me with $1,000 check that he plans on STEALING from a profitable business, WHY? record profits for OIL means record taxes from OIL, how about a WINDFALL profits tax aimed at our BIG government spending!http://www.taxfoundation.org/blog/show/23178.html

So, when will Barack have an ad that has any general substance and American values?

i would agree that mCcain ad’s are pretty lack luster, but for me when Obama basicall wants to BRIBE me with a “stimulus” check that is at best STEALING from a company, when the fact is BIG government is spending WAY too much, thats from the war all the way down to Foriegn AID!

$1,000??? why not make it $1,000,000 for each person, the government could pay that to EVERY person in the United States and have BILLIONS left over

What are the best methods of shopping to stay green and eco-friendly?

For clothing and other non-food items, I think it’s best to buy used at thrift shops, yard sales, book sales, etc. Then it’s good to buy recycled products at stores, so at least you aren’t wasting gas having something shipped to you on a truck. Then order recycled goods on the Internet, followed by buying non-recycled items at a store. The worst would be ordering non-recyclible stuff from the Internet. Am I on the right track here?

Where can I find eco-friendly children’s clothes online?

i want to be Eco friendly?

kay, i am only 13 and since i am still young i would like to get into the habit of being eco friendly.

Looking for stores that sell organic or eco–friendly clothing.

Which eco-friendly (100% natural) ways of tackling static electricity on clothes can you think of?

Does life really matter?

Did the T-Rex alive 65 million years ago think about the kind of world it was leaving behind when it was it was eating another dinosaur? Or even when it was dying. Did it worry that its ofspring would not have enough meat to live?

Why then is humanity so obsessed with environmental issues, recycling and some humans even forgo meat to impress others.

Who cares what happens in a hundred years or even a million. We will all be dust by then. We are tought to care about the environment our ofspring will live in, yet they are not taught to care about the environment we die in.

Pollution and the environment is the next generations problem, not ours. If I die at 45 will my ofspring really care about wether I get 1st class private ticket to the end or a second class budget ticket?

Deppressing thoughts for a 26 year old, but its the truth. The media trains us to care about the next generation, not informing us that all they will want is our money.

Is recycling glass or plastic better?

I’ve been wondering why there is more plastic than glass in the US. which is better for the environment if it cannot be recycled? which is easier to recycle?
which issue is more important, environmental repercussions or ease of recycling?

not a democrate or republican ..I have options that fall on each side of issues..help with choosing canditate?

Iraq .. Not for immediate withdrawal but willing to set up a plan for working with UN and neighboring countries to provide stability and then gradual reduction of troop with no timetable

Taxes.. No increase in taxes, repeal tax cuts for most wealthy

Gun Control.. No new restrictions on gun control, supports the right to bear arms

Immigration.. border fence and more border security .. plan to tax immigrants and opportunity for citizenship through scheduled plan over a period of 10 years or so

Economic.. Work to keep more jobs in US .. protect US products by reevaluating free trade agreements

Environment.. pro environment ..environmental incentives for companies willing to reduce waste.. reduce greenhouse gas polution .. work to eliminate excessive packaging and plastic bags ..etc

Abortion.. Pro choice .. but limit abortion to only very early in the pregnancy .. or in case of danger to the health of the mother or rape/incest .. provide funding of pro life options
Yes I am very moderate .. I like alot of Obama’s opinions on issues but I disagree with the immediate withdrawal from Iraq .. it would cause a huge power vacuum, more violence, soldiers have died to achieve stability and that would put their sacrifice in vain .. I did not support the Iraq war but leaving now would be only slightly less irresponsible then invading in the first place.
I wouldn’t say I am a democrat, because I do not favor Iraq withdrawal right away, I do not believe in raising taxes for a whole ton of social programs, I do not believe in restricting the right to bear arms, I oppose most abortion practices, I believe in a strong military and increased military spending.
glassbooth.org .. I like the idea behind that website I wish it was more fine tuned with more questions

my results listed my answers as most compatible with Huckabee .
This site seems to provide some good comparison information

I am getting discouraged about where to live, any recommendations?

I live in Michigan right now, I have all my life, and I will be graduating from college in a year. Winter, and cold weather in general completely depresses me, it always has, and I know that I belong in an area that is going to be warm all year long. I have dreamt of such places as Hawaii of course, but all I hear is how expensive it is and the race issues going on there. My major is creative writing, and my minor is environmental studies…so no help there. I want to go to cosmetology school maybe, but that wont make much money either. Wherever I look, it seems it will be too expensive for me. I wish of being by the ocean, beaches, somewhere liberal and where the people are kind. I know this is a lot to ask, as most of us cant afford this…but isn’t there any hope? I can not stay here, I feel restless and trapped, and I have to get out. Any suggestions on places would be very helpful, thanks.

I’ve been tasked to lead a Multi- national schools expedition across Australia and the Arctic over two years.?

Our expedition carried out by schools from Western Australia, Sweden, Wales and England. We will be surveying glaciers in Sweden, ground water in Aus then working in the arctic to measure ice cap thickness, twice in two years to see what the difference is. We have schools ready to work with us and will film all aspects for TV documentary lasting two years. The surveys will be carried out by Uni entry level students each year looking to do science degrees. We are trying to improve the awareness of environmental issues with students and foster international friendships and also physical fitness.
Surely we should qualify for some grants and possibly the Aus $50K ask. grant through our WA school. We need sponsors also.
I have been asked to lead the expedition and put it together, and as part of a challenge issued by the producer
I have to find a job with a multinational company that can legitimately send me to Sweden and Aus and sponsor me through salary for the next two years at least

Are Republicans smarter than a 7th grader?

The drill, drill, drill crowd complained that alternative energy would take too long to come on line. Read the attached: perhaps Republicans thought American know-how couldn’t solve problems because they were too buys kissing up to the oil industry. Are they smarter than a 7th grader?

http://news.yahoo.com/s/zd/232218;_ylt=AppgX5QohKbgUeT85f57ko4DW7oF

EAST COASTER: Thanks for answering my question. Are you aware that any drilling approved today will take decades to produce oil and, according to geological surveys, will likely produce heavy sour, not light sweet crude that our refineries use? You really don’t understand this, do you? Yet, you are going to vote for Republican, and perpetuate the problem? Perhaps you should re-read the original question.
I am Obamas Lack of Experience: Why would you answer a question without saying anything?
EVAN: High C leadership types are never leaders; I’ll send you a red pencil.
KEN: see response to East Coaster.
electraglyderydyr: Pompous, does that imply inaccurate? The truth is we cannot drill our way out of this problem. Republican obstruction of alternatives is real, for the purpose of creating an election wedge issue and eliciting the responses seen here. Lose 17 points in popularity for a YA answer. 99% of the folks on here are partisans. I participate because as a true Republican I am embarrassed and humiliated by the lack of leadership in the party I used to love. Wedge issues instead of leadership: pathetic.

HOW COME THE SCIENTIFIC COMMUNITY HAS NOT ACTED IN VALIDATING WINSTON KAYANAN’S CLAIMS ON THE ENVIRONMENT?

UN Sec. Gen. Ban Ki-moon is incredibly committed to push his predecessor’s anti-life Kyoto Protocol and possibly, its mandate in October 2009 and amendment thereof come December in Danish capital of Copenhagen. However, he does not seem to understand that the carbon emission reduction as what the organization has been espousing is only a hypothesis which does not guarantee the right solution to world’s environmental woes. And the 12 long years of delay to finalize Kyoto Protocol is a proof of hidden force from God in giving a strong reluctance, i.e., posing threat to world’s economic survival and hence, how can the highest organization achieve a better world when its philosophy in the environment requires the expense of global economy? There is no wisdom, spirit & power in this philosophy. The mission could not give a brighter vision in beholding the light of day for a possible better & freer life in accordance with UN’s charter.

In an attempt, the author Winston Kayanan from the Philippines (claiming to possess the right answer in global warming & climate change) gave the most powerful argument ever voiced out & directed against a world organization, about his antithesis against carbon emission reduction last of which, was in May 2009 in the internet via yahoo’s question & answer. Contrary to world’s concern on economy, his attack was rather on undiscovered & undetected UN’s basis in science that gave carbon emission reduction as its mission. In spite of the author’s move in providing leads & clues as well as answers, he gave ample time of 3 months (from June to end of August 2009) for the scientific community to give second thought on one of the author’s objectives, i.e., O2 regeneration vs. UN’s carbon emission reduction but nothing seemed to be perceived when most could not picture or understand much as to how we can entirely meet sensibly & intelligibly to solve problems. Up to this time, there is no good news on science breakthroughs, particularly coming from them (the rest of the scientific community).

It is surprising to find that the scientific community had not conceived anything deeper. They missed the whole point because scientific studies should be analyzed & concluded in the beginning and then finally resolved in the same way, i.e., scientific than jumping into economic theory in the end. Like for instance, decay microorganisms vs. transportation & industries (regarding the issue on emission increment of greenhouse gases); laser-effect of solar radiation vs. arson (re: wildfires) or vs. mutation (re: drug dependence); biomass as organic matter vs. biomass as alternative energy (re: soil infertility); soil rehabilitation vs. plant forest (re: desertification); declining agriculture vs. sanitary landfill (re: land deterioration); carbon retrieval vs. carbon trading (re: lop-sided greenhouse gases); rice lands as source of methane vs. food production (re: food shortage or famine), among others. Some showed criticisms just for the sake of opposing & rebutting when these were merely contempt for knowledge & wisdom and hence, world’s brains are not working.

They also thought the author was some kind of disturbed person, dubbed as an alarmist, while others thought the questions & answers were some kind of entertainment. These passive notions do not serve world’s slogan “save man & save earth” and thus, the mission to purge the environment is unknowingly perverted and people are eventually deserted. In a matter of life & death situation, where is the humanity here? Is there no people power from the scientific community being cooked up to confront UN and its scientists, for giving the wrong direction & the wrong science to the world? Future generations may either judge the scientific community of treachery (in concealing the real science) or negligence (in not rendering the true science) – unfortunately at the expense of people and earth.

It took 3 months for the author to draw a natural but powerful technology (scientific evidence) in the year 2001 and took 2 minutes within 5 days to decode the 4-Beast vision of Daniel in the Bible (theological evidence or religious knowledge) in 2004. In this tandem, God made the author see the world’s faults in the environment. And the author who has already known the right answer to global warming & climate change 8 years ago, carries a timely revelation of the Word of God that was essentially made for the purpose of settling current outstanding global issues & problems in the environment as well as exposing characters responsible for the faults. These are not presumed or assumed but currently agreeing with facts & logic. They are clearly interrelated, a synthesis of two strong connecting sciences, intelligibly working & complementing not only for the physical world but metaphysically because there is a permanent structure to reality above & beyond what people are not aware of and hence, these would be the best of all possible worlds. God gave scienti

Is all of the work of global warming starting to unravel as people learn more about this hoax?

1. Australia’s Senate rejects Emissions Trading Scheme for a second time.

2. Danes caught fiddling their carbon credits. – Carbon trading is the Emperor’s New Clothes of international finance. It was invented by none other than Ken Lay, whose Enron would currently be one of the prime beneficiaries in the global alternative energy market, if it hadn’t been shown to be (nearly) as fraudulent as the current AGW scam

3. Hats off to The Daily Express – the first British newspaper to make the AGW scam its front page story

4. BBC finally gets round to reporting – sort of – that Climatic Research Unit at University of East Anglia may have been up to no good

5. Legal actions ahoy! – Two scientists, one British, one Canadian, who intend to pursue the CRU for criminal fraud. Their case, quite simply, is that the scientists implicated in Climategate have gained funding and career advancement by twisting data, hiding evidence, and shutting out dissenters by corrupting the peer-review process.

Is the bloom off the Algore Global Warming rose?

Gore’s presentation on climate change draws 800 as 200 protestors gather outside

“Tickets for the event sold for $44 to $339, with proceeds going to the nonprofit Alliance for Climate Protection that Gore chairs.

“Gore began his remarks by calling climate change “the most dangerous problem we’ve ever faced. But it is also a tremendous opportunity for us to solve problems that have been neglected for a long time.”

“Organizers allowed the media to cover only the first few minutes of Gore’s presentation.

“In addition to his nonprofit advocacy, Gore is a partner in a venture capital firm that finances “sustainable” and alternative energy businesses, prompting some critics to accuse Gore of promoting environmental policies that will fatten his bank account.

“Cap & Tax — Don’t Be Fooled: Al Gore Will Make billions,” read a sign carried by Alan Tudor, who drove from Tampa to attend Saturday’s protest.

“Gore’s Favorite Green Product? Your money in his pocket,” said another sign.
http://www.palmbeachpost.com/news/gore-s-presentation-on-climate-change-draws-800-59205.html

Brother Al is poised to be the first “green billionaire” because of his Powerpoint movie, bilking millions from the True Believers, and using his connections to generate the Global Warming crisis from which he will profit nicely due to his “green investments”.

Why don’t America just print money to pay off debt?

Can anyone give me some insight here? A am studying economy myself, but can’t come up with any arguments why not to do it (that are not ethical please)????

Printing more money to buy back their debt from especially China (a debt which is in american dollars) will both lower the real value of the debt and of course lower the debt in terms that they pay back.

Another effect is the export which will rise giving money to the industry, therefore creating jobs and taxes to the government. Of course it would be expensive to buy imports but say they waited to do this until they are independent of oil (using from their own sources and alternative energy) it wouldn’t be that bad with the import.

I know the dollar would devaluate, the rent would rise and the inflation would be great. But can’t see that it would matter. Especially the inflation as it would be expected.

Here’s why I had the thought: http://moneywatch.bnet.com/economic-news/blog/macro-view/qe2-600-billion-fed-move-targets-new-jobs-but-risks-inflation/2747/

Globalization Questions?

List three problems that stem from globalization.

What are some environmental issues related to globalization?

“you can’t run a linear system on a finite planet indefinitely.” What does this suggest for the future of globalization?

said it is the government’s job to take care of us? Do you agree? Think about some of the serious issues that affect the future of the earth. What role, if any, should government have in finding solutions?

What changes are needed to make sure our economic system supports, rather than destroys, the planet’s biological systems on which we depend?

Should the Catholic Church lose its tax exempt status in the US?

“And while the church recognizes the importance of a wide range of issues — from war to immigration to poverty — fighting abortion should be a priority, the bishops said.”

“The bishops say helping the poor should be a top priority in government, providing health care, taking in refugees and protecting the rights of workers, and the bishops highlight the need for environmental protection.

However, they also oppose same-sex marriage, euthanasia and embryonic stem cell research, in addition to their staunch anti-abortion position.

The prelates say torture is “always wrong” and they express “serious moral concerns” about “preventive use of military force.’ But at the last minute Wednesday, they added a sentence acknowledging “the continuing threat of fanatical extremism and global terror.'”

Environmental concerns!?

i have a scenario for people who are concerned about the environment.

if you live around the US-Canada border then u might know that the garbage from Toronto is shipped to Michigan to fill up the land. the trucks that carry the garbage from Toronto pass through mostly farmland and residential areas, and some industrial/commercial areas.
lets pretend that you are a transport company employee. now what concerns will you have regarding this issue. also try to consider environmental impacts in your answer.

Good Luck!

Conservatives do you agree with our Liberal agenda and if not why not?

The living standards of workers and the natural environment on which life depends are under constant attack due to the drive for maximum profits inherent in capitalism. Our party fights for jobs and economic security, a decent and rising standard of living, peace, justice, equality, a sustainable environment, gay rights, health care, education, affordable housing, the needs of seniors, democracy, and a fulfilling life for everyone, with socialism as our goal. Only through the abolition of the capitalist system and the socialist reorganization of society can exploitation of human beings by others, and the evils of oppression, war, racism, environmental degradation, and poverty be ended. We seek to build a socialist society which puts people and nature before profits.

Our country’s founding Revolution exalted the ideals of equality, justice, and democracy, of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness for all. Marxists have long hailed its progressive significance, while recognizing its historical limitations, chief of which was the failure to abolish slavery. The Communist Party today upholds the continuing struggle to realize these ideals. The revolutionary democratic traditions of the United States call for radical change when injustice, inequality, and exploitation become unbearably oppressive. This legacy gives us, the working class and its allies, the right and responsibility to build a new society. We advocate an expanded Bill of Rights to guarantee religious, political, and individual freedoms, but also freedom from poverty, hunger, joblessness, and racism

Racism plays a particularly destructive role in the life of our country, imposing severely impoverished living standards on tens of millions of the specially oppressed, and lowering the quality of life for all workers. Racism harms all workers, obstructing the development of working-class consciousness, driving wedges in class unity to divert attention from class exploitation, and creating extra profits for the capitalist class. The Communist Party is unalterably opposed to all manifestations of racism, national oppression, U.S. national chauvinism, male supremacy, homophobia, and anti-Semitism, which are used by the enemies of progress to divide the working class and people’s forces. The principles of democracy, equality, justice, and class self-interest require a joint fight against all expressions of racism and gender oppression. We fight for full equality for all who suffer from racial, national, and gender oppression as an essential aspect of the unity that is basic to all social progress.

Issues of war and peace, wealth and poverty, ecology and pollution, racial and national division, gender discrimination, and international conflict are all connected to class struggle, and have common features on which to build unity among peoples, organizations, and coalitions. The working class as the necessary leading force along with the other core forces—all racially and nationally oppressed groups, women, and youth—can build a movement that also includes the many streams of our working people—such as family farmers, small business owners, and the self-employed—who united together have the power to make fundamental progressive change.

What if your favorite environmental/animal rights book?

I am looking for more books about veganism, animal rights, the environment – which are packed with information.

I have already read (or am reading) the following:

Skinny B****h
Animal Factories
The Food Revolution
In Defense of Food

Are these any good?

The Long Emergency
A Spring Without Bees
Animal Liberation
This Borrowed Earth

Any suggestions, ideas, comments? I love to stay active and read a lot of the current issues. I’m not a huge fan of books that make us scared of everything (like “Slow Death by Rubber Duck”) – OR is that not one of those kind? Have you read it?

Experience with eco friendly products?

Hi all I just seeked a number of these really neat bags (http://tuckerbags.com) and wondered what’s the preferred material for most of this stuff. Anyone know? I have a friend that bought a dress made out of recycled lace/denim/silk material.

Are you looking for environmentally friendly products? Or are you looking for an eco-friendly business?

changing to all eco friendly beauty products.?

i’d like to change to all eco friendly/natural beauty products! 🙂 that means makeup, hair, face, bodywash, etc. i already use origins face products and lush shampoo/bodywash, but i’d like to know, what are other good brands for eco friendly makeup, hair products (especially for wavy/curly hair!(:), and face things that aren’t ridiculously expensive like origins.?

thankss (:

Why do eco-friendly products cost more than normal product!?

I thought the whole reason for something being eco is that it’s recycled; they’re not buying material, but they put stupid prices on products! And then they talk about saving you money with a kettle…………..LOL FO! How the hell is making something cheap and selling it at stupid prices AND THEN preaching about “saving energy, money!” actually benefiting us, YOU!!??
On one of these eco companies websites, they have an identical kettle to the one I’ve got, but there’s costs a lot more than my! I’m struggling to understand all of this eco sh*t!

Can Obama & Democrats get away with more corruption because 80% of US Media will ignore it,is in bed with them?

If a Republican President exploited a federal program of providing money to alternative energy corporations by conpsiring to create phoney holding companies re-selling obsolete Chinese technologies at a loss so that executives could pad their wallets and launder money back to their re-election campaign, would ABC News, NBC News, CBS News, CNN, MSNBC, AP, NY Times, NPR let them get away with it????

But would they ever bother looking at Obama and Solyndra, Abound, Evergreen Solar since it might hurt their liberal agenda???

What about all the lies we heard about Obama raising taxes?

Here is what he is saying:

“cutting taxes for the middle class, raising taxes on the wealthy, pouring money into ‘green energy‘ and requiring employers to set up retirement saving plans for their workers.”

“Obama said he could pay for his programs by eliminating the Bush administration’s tax cuts for the wealthy, winding down the Iraq war and spending more on alternative energy programs that eventually will save money.”

So where is all the claims that he is going to do away with Bush’s tax cuts? He’s going to do away with them for the wealthy.

He is real clear how he pays for everything. He is going to get the rich to pay for it with higher taxes. Them and the rich corporations. Health care and social security. They will pay what they were suppose to pay a long time ago.

Is This the Reason Obama Said ‘No’ to the Keystone Pipeline?

Comments (305)In rejecting the Keystone XL pipeline project this past week, the Obama administration did exactly what they told everyone they were going to do.

The question many are asking is, “Why?”

Why did the President kill the pipeline deal that so many Democrats, Republicans and labor union leaders support?

Was it done because:

A. – As the administration has said publicly, there is not enough time to do a proper environmental impact study?

B. – Thanks to alternative energy companies like Solyndra, we’re on the path to becoming an oil-free energy generating country?

C. – Billionaire Warren Buffett (and Obama advisor) has an investment in a Canadian railway that would benefit from killing Keystone?

D. – Is it because Brazil, the country whose deep-water oil fields we agreed to fund, is going to be selling us cheap and plentiful oil?

In the case of the environmental impact study argument, it has been noted that the project could begin moving forward and jobs be created as another study commenced. If the findings show that the pipeline’s route needed to be changed, or additional safety measures put in place, those could easily be added to the project.

The Solyndra question answers itself.

Concerning the Warren Buffett investment, Bloomberg News reports:

How Could Everyone Have Fallen For OPEC Trap?

I just was watching news ticker on bloomberg channel and it says ”that oil is expected to rally/go up to $75 or higher before mid-summer because of demand rebounding.What is all of this nonsense when we are in a global recession,people losing their jobs left and right,”supposed to be conserving energy”,”supposed to switch on to alternative energy & off-shore oil drilling”(what pres.obama promised in his campaign),auto makers possible bankruptcies and more possible lay-offs,people ”supposed to have been driving less”,and supposed to be buying small compact fuel efficient hybrid type vehicles.Were you’ll serious about carrying out these stuff or were these just empty threaths that played right into opec trap?
Will it be like 2007/2008 and wait until crude oil get back to over $125 a barrel then make more false threaths to OPEC with absolutely little to no action to back it up?

Laws of Sustainability

Close to the peak of world production
Worshippers of growth hit the headlines
They have proudly reached the top
The uphill climb that can only end in a drop
A decline another heartless head line
World war hurt population growth.

Read all about it below 3% Dip Recession
News reporters spread lies
To prevent depression
Ease the pain to sell papers for gain.
But to be intellectually honest
The arithmetic of steady growth attained
That growth of population
And growth of rates of consumption
Of rate of resources cannot be sustained

So our worshippers of growth
Turn to worship science and technology
A growing industry to solve the problems
Of population growth, food, energy and resources

We can buy it all with copper in our purse
It’s plentiful and if it runs out
Make it from other metals
Chemistry will figure it out someday so said
A trusty advisor “Julian Simon” sunny spells
Washington DC exalted his name

But what survives over population
Can democracy, human decency,
World population present growth rate at
Ten thousand people per hour
But everyone talks about Smart Growth
Surely that means we simply have such good taste
So much so we eat ourselves to death
Our taste for the environment too goes hand in hand
Threatened only by Global Warming ashes to ashes
You understand USA so please set an example to the world

Your manmade solutions have created more problems
Galileo! Galileo! Do the fan-dangled in a while crocodile
Leave nature alone
But by all means do look first at the problem
But look too how the solution could cause further problems
Remember the tears of the River Nile

The more the merrier so the saying goes
But is this really demonstrable
After all exponential function y=e^x
To simplify if we stop wars
Improve health, grow more food produce
Find alternative energy supplies
And we therefore increase in number mode
This would be utopia or just claustrophobia?
Left without a moral code

Washing clothes at 30 degrees, is it really more eco friendly?

I only ask because this morning I set a load of washing to wash at 30 degrees rather than the usual 40 or 60 and the washing machine told me it would take half an hour longer than a usual 40 degree wash to complete. I know here in the UK they say 30 degrees saves a lot of energy but if the washing machine is running for half an hour longer, doesn’t this use the energy that would have been saved? Any answers would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Are there any eco friendly ways of washing clothes?

Eco Related Clothing?

My friend has a bunch of really cool hoodies/t shirts that have something to do with the environment. Do you know of any companies that make these kind of clothing? (i don’t mean eco–friendly, i mean eco related)
