So true that is needs to be posted.
Environmentalists are good at identifying problems but poor at identifying feasible solutions. Most often they don’t try to work with us but against us, giving aid and comfort to those opposed to the sovereign decision-making of tribes.
Mr. Shirley and the Navajo tribe, as well that Hopi Tribal Council have banned self-proclaimed “environmentalists” from entering their reservation because the “environmentalists” are trying to screw the tribes over because the tribes contract with private companies to mine the coal deposits on their land.
This is killing me with joy, because after all the hype surrounding the “Native Americans” and how they were the “first environmentalists”, one of the last things the eco-socialists is going to say is that the tribes don’t care about Mother Nature.
Either they’re going to have to break down and say it publically, or the eco-socialists are going to have to admit how extreme they themselves are. Which will cause a different sort of breakdown.
Twenty-bucks says the “environmentalists” will start lamenting how the noble Native American people have been corrupted by the evil’s of capitalism and if they would only allow the “environmentalists” to show them the true path back to Mother Nature all would be well again.
Roger Hedgecock laid this all out last night. The Enviros want to shut down all the coal-fired power production, and they have hammered several Native American plants into submission, because their coal comes from off-reservation.
The Navaho power plant is fueled by Navaho coal, mined on their reservation and only the finished product, power, leaves the reservation and is then sold all over the Southwest, where the Sierra Club probably powers their offices with some of it.
The enviros can’t touch the Navaho, and they are grinding their teeth at their own impotence.
BTW, the Navaho have posted their reservation off limits to the enviros, and they are pissed about THAT, too.
