   It can’t be Alberta, there’s no ducks.

   I wonder when they’re going to visit The Solyndra Fire Pits. They say if you throw money into them…
   Nothing happens.

   California threatened to close some parks due to funding, asked the public for help. later they ‘found’ millions in accounts they had ‘forgotten’ about.

   Unfortunately, about half of the American public has fallen for that claptrap. They support those who actually vote against their very interests, and those who actually want to eliminate as much education as possible.

   Exxon created one of those when its tanker spilled about 8 million gallons in Valdez, Alaska.

   What people seem to forget is that oil IS natural. So is coal. Why do you think they call it NATURAL gas? We could just as easily call it NATURAL oil and NATURAL coal. And people seem to forget that right in Los Angeles is the La Brea Tar Pits. Another NATURAL thing. There are natural oil seeps off the coast of California and in the Gulf of Mexico. Drilling for and using the oil would reduce these natural seeps.

    Is it? Which party wants to eliminate all environmental controls so that its pet corporations can run about unfettered? Hint: It’s not the Democrats.

    Right on! It is only human hubris that leads us to believe that we can actually destroy nature. As Jeff Goldblum said in Jurassic Park,“Nature finds a way.” Down with tree huggers!

    Hadn’t heard about national parks being privatized, but if true I say “Full speed ahead!” Private interests ALWAYS look after their property better than government bureaucracy does. Every acre that Forever Wild, Sierra Club, Nature Conservancy, and government grabs is doomed to deteriorate. The power company in my neck of the woods owned an entire watershed to protect its hydro plant resource, but once it abandoned the hydro plant as too small, it donated the acreage, some to the state and some to the feds.
    Guess what? Where the power company provided public use access and maintained the forest and trails to generate revenue, the government goons neglected to do even the most basic things to protect the resources. Result: lower water quality, eroded and degraded trails with increased erosion, and a massive kill-off of trees from a borer infestation. Today, the once beautiful, park-like forest has suffered several devastating fires and still has a massive fuel load of dead trees waiting for the next inferno. Private ownership would never have let this happen.

    I have to agree with you today.
    That pretty much sums up today’s education system thanks to the Corrupt Party.
    Last night’s debate was a huge breath of fresh air. Say hello to President Romney!

    You really have no clue what Tea Party is do you?

    Tip #1 do not believe what you hear in the media.

    Tip #2 It is not a national platform/party, in my area they are a combination of liberals and conservatives who all care about having a balanced budget. Thus both major parties keep hijacking it.
