Maybe he needs to change it to Redcounty; that would be closer to Western political reality.

Or maybe he does know, and the terror of encountering two Democratic female Jewish senators has kept him from ever venturing out here to see what the mountains really look like. I mean, that’s a very very pretty picture, but its spirit is European Romantic through and through, and it’s not a lot like California. Or anyplace else.

Which reminds me: mountains that dwarf the Alps? It takes nothing from my admiration for my native state (I grew out of thinking that way about 50 years ago) that there several more mountains in the Alps that top Mount Whitney than there are in the Sierra.

But you see, he has a true Red State attitude, all the worst of America, “Our mountains are better — and bigger, even though they aren’t — than your mountains.”

If you are talking soley OW.com: yes, free interchange. If you are speaking in general, what with speech codes and talk being outlawed that makes groups feel uncomfortable, I disagree.

Whatever your beefs might be with progressives or liberals, it is certainly not related to our allowance of alternative ideas.

Here’s why:

1) Republicans are the people who believe that golf ponds are wetlands:

2) Republicans are the people trying to sell off National Parks:

3) Republicans are the people who think logging makes forests healthier:

4) Republicans are the people who deny global warming:

I have no comment on whether you as a person are quietly doing your part for conservation. That is your decision as a person, not a party.

As a party, you guys are certainly not environmentally friendly.

” … most republicans do more for the preservation of wilderness than do democrats …”

Mind numbing sweeping generalizations like this blow your argument to kingdom come and illustrate my point. Corroborating evidence, ple ..zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

“It’s the bubble that’s keeping pedugger sane … you notice the distinct lack of participation in the threads post-election?

All they do now is type an occasional “nyah nyah nyah nyah nyah” post then retreat back into the cave.”

respond to”

Much as with charitable giving…most republicans do more for the preservation of wilderness than do democrats. I am not sure why the liberals think that TALKING about preservation some how is better than actually doing it

Bullshit, pedugger. You don’t like the answers/responses you’re hearing and you know you have to continue listening to them because the American people took away the Republicans’ bullshit bullhorn.

The lack of cocky, arrogant ‘we know what we’re talking about … you Democrats have no idea what you’re talking about” responses from pedugger post-midterm election is obvious.

Having built quite a few miles of trails in the rockies and the sierras with the sierra club, I know a thing or two about them. The constant infighting and radical left agenda makes them almost impotent in spite of their size.

Check out this quieter and more effective organization to get an idea of what I mean about the republicans putting their money where their mouths are…

I wonder who might know about the Sierras?

Eureka!

Here’s what the Sierra Club has to say about Bush’s Healthy Forest Initiatiave.

But George, if we tear down all the dams where are we going to get all our renewable electricity from?

See you liberals can never actually SEE the forest, only the individual trees…

Naming a gift to the logging industry the “Healty Forests Initiative” did not make any forest healthy.

“I am not sure why the Republicans think that LYING about preservation some how is better than actually doing it.”

I think their just so comfortable lying as a defense, they forgot how weak it makes them on any issue.

The liberal pinkos are trying to tear down the dam and restore the valley.

It won’t take much digging to get the goods on the Neos. The boxes of the best stuff have been stored discretely for some years now. The IBM Selectric on which Karl did in Rather, it is in a storage bin somewhere in Anacostia.

Living at the Bush level in America is good if you have to eat a shit sandwich once in a while. The more bread you have the less shit you taste.
