Friday Frolic
You know what, the Barnyard is so sick of the socialists posing as eco-conservatives that we started feeding the Goat the recycle bin, he doesn't like that idea. The Goat happens to hold John Muir and John J. Audubon in extremely high esteem and the barnyard qualifies under the world wildlife federation,WWF, guidelines for habitat. All this 'global warming' squawk is just that , a bunch of "Chicken Littles" running around while grounded scientists, not politicians after a cause or activists, can clearly challenge the debate on any number of grounds.
The "Global Warming" movement is not about the environment, it is totally about Socialism and control of individual rights, where we work, what we drive, where we live and real ownership of that property. The Al Gores, Noam Chomskys and yes, Bin Ladens ,want to control the masses through socialism, Gore, or islamism, Bin Laden. Both are equally dangerous to us as a free republic, from opposite ends of a spectrum that seems to operate in a unique harmony of pain and submission. Though the American left would be the first target of islamic subjugation, Hollywood seems to like the idea of subjugation, let them have it first hand. Back to the enviro-whackjobs, Goat did his time with the Sierra Club, so he can opine as a high ranking contributor for idealistic reasons, the move away from the environment to social engineering, socialism caused the Goat to flee, even was a supporter of Greenpeace at the time. Even as a proclaimed environmentalist, the Barnyard will never support Al Gore in his lunacy .
Early in the '00 race their lunacy was exposed and it has only gotten worse, the propoganda from the left is as deep as the compost at dairies whose machine produces cow farts, that's right, bovine emissions far exceed all human production of gas, not to mention the methane gas cloud over the Amazon rainforest because of vegetative breakdown. Should we raze the Amazon to stop that methane plume? I betcha, the enviros would whack ya good if you tried.
In the Barnyard opinion, the enviro-whack jobs are just another attempt by the socialists, that can't accept the fact it doesn't work, to control society and its free market wishes. The Barnyard is a full believer in the marketplace and it's creative ability to solve problems, not the government's ability to regulate, free the market and watch solutions happen, regulate and stagnate.

Although I have opposed the environmentalist whackos, just because common sense tells us they are nuts, I never really considered their motives.
Excellent perspective, Goat!
Of course! They are Socialists promoting their agenda. I wonder why I never noticed that before.
Wait. I think I know why. I've never taken them seriously enough to want to delve into their motive. Thanks for doing the homework for me.
Mark it was only recently that this perspective came to light for me as well as I have followed the debate. It shows all the classic signs of socialism, spin is truth, stifling of differing opinions, anti-freemarket globaliztion, anti-business, anti-progress and pro-regulation and control of the people.
This is the kind of diatribe that makes me ashamed to call myself a conservative. As much as I can't stand liberals for their rhetoric, your attempt to label every environmental control an act of socialism, is sad at best. Stop being afraid to take responsibility for the maintenance of our eco-system. You can still get laid, even if you don't drive a Hummer.
Charlie, perhaps you missed the part about John Muir and J.J.Audobon. I am very much so into caring for the environment. That kind of shallow reading is an embarrasment to the conservative movement that I very much doubt that you are a part of. The Kyoto Protocols were written by Socialists with socialistic goals not environmental ones designed to control society not help the planet.
Only Hummers in the Barnyard have wings and like to sip nectar, we drive 4x4 trucks from Dodge. Whether your type can admit it or not gastric emmissions from the worlds animal population far exceeds the CO2 output of all the planes,trains, autos and factories combined. That does not even take into account what is released by volcanos and other earthly vents or the cycles of the sun . I suggest you do some research before popping off about being a conservative here.
Sorry but (1) the valcano-theory has surpassed its usefulness, and (2) I did read the part about Muir, though it seems to come across as being more nastalgic than sincere.
As to your first point, lots of people like to point out that natural phenomena like volcanoes (sp) create more CO2 than all of the worlds cars combined. Let me ask you a few serious questions...do coal-fired plants add to the problem? Does the amount of SO2 and NOx emitted from your tailpipe add to the problem? Does the affect of rain forest depletion add to the problem? Does the increase in ozone emissions add to the problem? Do point source emissions from industrial surface coating facilities add to the problem?
Well, my friend, the answer is yes, to all of the above.
I am a conservative. I am a republican. But I am also saddened that my party has been hijacked by people who prefer to make excuses for their behavior rather than change it.

Charlie, you again are missing my point, not that I don't support clean air and water but that the socialists are trying to use the environement as their vehicle for their social agenda of controlling the masses. I am a conservationist and amateur naturalist and yes what man has done to the earth is horrific and we are responsible for it but as far as impact that is lasting we are but a negligable blip in the grand scheme of time and the solar system. I grew up near a "steel" city and remember red skies, no more, those skies are clear now. America is leading the world in clean technology because there is a demand for it and the free market is answering that demand without gov't intervention or micro-management. just fine. That was the point of my blog post.

Oh and Charlie, Senate staffers can be honest here. Going through the bloggers Pledge list are we? I guess we struck a nerve.
Just one point. Other scientists have posited that Carbon Dioxide is not the reason for global warming, (if it indeed exists, since science has yet to prove it) But the result of global warming.
Goat, goat, goat...and I thought liberals were paranoid! If you must know, I work for the Sgt at Arms as a computer specialist...I have absolutely no political affiliation with any members what-so-ever at the US Senate. My opinions are my own. I appreciate that you took the time to look me up however and I might even go so far as to take it as a compliment.
Do you want to know how I found you? I was trying to learn more about Mitt. I am an amateur scientist, fan of rugby, outdoor enthusiast, and self-proclaimed existentialist; and somehow Google pointed me in your direction. Whereas I was hoping to find some information related to Mitt's position on the environment, I instead found your rant on so-called enviro-whack jobs. I have absolutely nothing to hide. I'm an American citizen with an opinion. Yes, they still exist.
Btw, attacking the opposition as whack jobs does nothing to solve the problems we're facing these days. Like my liberal friends here who love to recite the Jon Stewart as though he were an apostle -- we don't need more drama. We need intelligent debate...not rudimentary discourse that stands contrary to science. And science contradicts the position that our actions have not had a negative impact on the globe.

Science has yet to prove anything, even the latest UN report acknowledges that fact as the article I pointed to a couple comments back. That is my point, the socialists want say that it is proven, stifle all dissent and use it to control the people through massive gov't regulation that science says will help but an iota. You are a Republican and conservative so you should be able to understand my point. I am all for the debate on global warming, just all sides of it should be presented, there is as you know zero gospel in climatology. We don't really know what will happen despite all the computer models because it is God's hands ultimately. We should be good stewards of His gift and we can do that without the gov't telling us to.
