World’s worst person dies

Rachel Carson is dead.  If only there were a hell…

From American Thinker:

This attitude of Carson’s was imported into environmentalism whole, becoming the standard for dealing with environmental matters of all kinds.

DDT became target number one for the new environmental movement (one organization, the World Wildlife Fund, was founded with no other goal than its elimination). It was an uphill battle for several years, since serious scientific analysis of Carson’s claims overthrew virtually all of them. DDT did not cause cancer. It had no health effects whatsoever on humans, mammals, or any other higher animals. The sole deletorious effect involved the eggs of raptors, where ambiguous evidence of shell-thinning was discovered.

The EPA’s head, William D. Ruckelshaus, was a committed environmentalist and a member of several environmental organizations, with widespread connections throughout the movement. On June 14, 1972, Ruckelshaus rescinded the registration for DDT, effectively banning the compound. (Many sources, such as this site, claim that there never was any such ban, a contention easily answered by this EPA release.) Ruckelshaus later worked for the World Wildlife Federation, a fact that may or may not be relevant.

Despite clear evidence as to the effects, international aid groups such as the World Health Organization and USAid ceased supporting DDT operations. By the mid-80s, malaria had reached and surpassed previous levels. Up to 500 million people were suffering attacks each year. Two to three million of them died as a result. Up to nine-tenths of the dead were children under five.

So it continued for a quarter of a century. The tide began to turn when South Africa was persuaded in 1995 to abandon DDT in favor of the more expensive pyrethroid. Within three years, resistant mosquitoes appeared. By 2000, malaria cases had shot up by more than 1200%, to 62,000. The government resumed DDT spraying, and within months the disease rate dropped by four-fifths.

Elizabeth May and the Green Party are going to kill your children and spit in your cereal

I can’t mention the Greens without saying that they are fascists and will lead us down the road to tyranny.

Do these sound like the words of a democrat:

“We have a moral obligation to our Lord and Father to ensure we don’t destroy the creation that was given to us. Through the power of our Lord and Jesus Christ, we can meet this moral obligation.”

Those are the words of the Green leader, Elizabeth May. If you’re keeping score, the only thing remaining between her Greens and a textbook case of fascism is the support for violence. Her supporters are already there, I’m certain she’ll join them well before the election is called.

With that out of the way – I found an article on their leader Elizabeth May, by way of a blog called: politiquevert.wordpress.com .

The article is from Free Republic and is entitled: Derisive Comments Against Evangelicals Have Got to Stop

As you can see in some of the posts below, I’m perfectly fine with being very critical of religion – however Elizabeth May isn’t being critical of religion but of another sect of her religion. She isn’t basing her arguments in fact or logic but on sectarian bigotry. Furthermore, she isn’t attacking the tennets of a religion, but like her NDP and Liberal colleagues before her, she is attacking its adherents.

From the article:

Elizabeth May’s over-the-top comments at a church service recently might be described as a brush wide enough to tar a lot of people. The Leader of the Green Party’s references to Nazis, name-calling of other political leaders, and stereotyping of Evangelical Christians are not common fare for a church service.

The leaders of our political parties play an important role in forming public policy and helping to shape public discussion on issues. As leaders, their words carry an extraordinary amount of influence, which is why we should all be deeply concerned about recent comments made by a number of Canadian politicians, not just those made by Ms. May.

A few months ago it was the interim leader of the Liberal Party who criticized the hiring of a prominent Evangelical by the Environment Minister’s office—based on the new employee’s faith. And, over the last several months, parliamentarians who hold an evangelical faith have faced criticism from fellow MPs for their personal beliefs.

Clarification on a point

I’ve been getting quite a few links to this page because of a comment I posted at SDA. I said:

John G: What do you have against Green Party Candidate Kevan Potvin? I read that article of his and I have to say, there’s a lot of it that I am entirely in agreement with.

For example:

“When we fight to remove Coke machines from our elementary schools, to filter pornographic web sites from our public library computers, to restrict admittance to excessively violent films in our theatres, and to ban cigarette and alcohol advertising from cultural and public events, we are totally of like mind and purpose with the core of Islamist terrorist cells.”

So let me clear this up – when I say that I agree with Potvin, I mean that I agree that he’s right when he says that the greens and the islamofascists have a lot in common. I totally agree with that, islamofascists and greens do have a lot in common. They both are totalitarian movements that want to use the force of government to shove their personal choices down our throats. They don’t like liquor, so we must all abstain; they hate porn, so they put locks on all of our internet access; etc…

From the few people who understood what I was saying, I also got grief about the comparison. A typical comment:

…those agendas as not the ‘core of Islamist terror cells’. The people who want those actions, eg, removing soft drink machines from elementary schools, blocking pornographic web sites on public library computers, restricting admission to violent films, and banning cigarette ads – are not Islamic fascists. They are ordinary, non-political citizens of Canada, of the US, of European countries, etc. These agendas have absolutely nothing to do with Islamic fascism.

So let me clarify my point here too. I am saying that those ordinary Canadians that want to tell me what I do in my private life and want to push around private companies and limit their right to free speech are as good as fascists for all the harm they do. As we have evidently seen with the environmental movement, slippery slopes do exist. Today you make common cause to ban access to violent films and porn, and tomorrow you’re making common cause to oppress cartoonists and ban hurt feelings. What I am saying – in a nutshell is: Tipper Gore = Kevin Potvin = Zawahiri.
