Happy Earth Day

The other day, I was watching Nickelodeon with my kids. I think we were watching Spongebob or ICarly but it doesn't matter. A commercial came on for an Earth Day special episode of Spongebob. In the new episode, Plankton, the evil villain in the show wants to build a highway through Jellyfish Fields. Spongebob decides to take action and protest. Obviously they don't tell you the ending in the advertisement, but my guess would be that Spongebob succeeds and stops the highway from being built. I know what you're thinking, "Glenn it's just a kids show, who cares?". Well, it's more then that. I believe it's part of an orchastrated effort to indoctrinate our children. For many years, I have been watching Nickelodeon with my kids, and every year it get's worse and worse. Until it has gotten to the point where Earth Day has become a bigger holiday then Christmas. Unfortunately, that is not a joke. For many on the left, the environment is their god, so it would make sense that a day celebrating how wonderful the planet is would take priority over a holiday that celebrates the birth of Jesus Christ. The Son of the real God.

Let's look at a couple of issues that are facing us today real fast. How many people blame the governement for higher gas prices? Well, you may be surprised to hear that a conservative agrees with you. However, for different reason then most. Do I think we need to drill for more oil? Yes, I do, but it wont do a thing to change our gas prices. Our gas prices are high because we haven't built a refinery in this country since 1976. Wow, that's crazy, no refineries in 34 years? Why? Well the answer is simple, three letters, EPA. The Environmental Protection Agency has blocked all attempts to build a new refinery. Does that sound like government trying to help the people? Sounds to me like the government trying to limit the people. You know those evil oil companies the left likes to blame for the high gas prices because "they're just greedy". According to the Tax Foundation, the government makes more money off a tank of gas then the oil company does http://www.taxfoundation.org/news/show/1168.html . So don't listen to the left on that one.

Here is another fun fact, the EPA was started in 1970, and in it's time, it has grown into the biggest, most powerful government agency out there. Did you know that the President can make an executive order, to drill for oil, and the EPA can say "No Mr. President, you're not going to do that." Does that sound right to you? A governemtn agency made up of people appointed not elected can override the ELECTED officials the American people put in office to be their voice? Yeah I know, the Supreme Court does the same thing. Here is the difference. The Supreme Court is called for in the Constitution. Nowhere in the Constitution is there anything that sets up a government agency to stop the progress of the country, and answer to no one.

I know I have run on in this post, but the main point I want to get accross is they are trying to get to our kids. Environmentalism is more then just hippy tree huggers. Read about them, learn about them. It is an organized effort to bring down this success of our great country. Just keep an eye on what your kids are watching. Let them watch it but make sure you talk to them about it.
