Endangered Species Julie MacDonald, Newt Gingrich and George Bush

bushism1 When not dodging shoes thrown at him, our dead duck President – riding an anemic elephant – is quietly doing everything possible to undue as much as he and his fellow Republicans can to reverse every environmental concern they can get their hands on.

Whether it be increasing lead content in our water, increasing carcinogens in our air, or removing plants and animals from the endangered species list. He and the Republican Party are using not only executive orders but every other trick in the book to spur on climate change. To actively and purposefully hurt the Earth in every way possible. It’s the Nature of the Beast.

Remember the past Governor of New Jersey? Christie Todd Whitman who after only 3 years as the EPA director resigned because she could no longer defend the Bush Administration’s War ON the Environment (it was mostly about VP Dick Cheney) and went on to write best selling book, It’s My Party, Too: Taking Back the Republican Party… And Bringing the Country Together Again.  

juliemacdonald The EPA’s most infamous character in the Republican War On the Environment was Julie MacDonald.

[It was very very hard to find a photograph of her which seems to mean she is in hiding somewhere  around Hell. This is a picture of her with an off road lobbyist trying to open up a quiet federal park to loud obnoxious dickheadmobiles.]

MacDonald, hired to protect our environment, was a purely political appointment to do exactly the opposite. She came under fire constantly for not only editing and denying scientific facts, but profiteering from removing various species from the endangered list. She subsequently resigned in 2007 after the Union of Concerned Scientists declared McDonald had,

“…personally reversed scientific findings, changed scientific conclusions to prevent endangered species from receiving protection, removed relevant information from a scientific document, and ordered the Fish and Wildlife Service to adopt her edits.”

An internal investigation by the EPA and a congressional committee both found that to be true and MacDonald was forced to resign in May of 2007. Source at Wikipedia

There is a very unexpected and unintended savior in this business of Republican and Presidential orders to kill the very Earth they live on.

newtism9 An angry and powerful Newt Gingrich as Speaker of the  House wanting to keep President Clinton from trying to help sick people and save the Earth through executive orders and such, got the Republican held Congress to pass the Congressional Review Act which was used by the incoming President Bush to strike down Clinton’s standards for carpal tunnel syndrome. There must be a poll somewhere saying people whose hands don’t work don’t vote.

But now the shoe is on the other foot with a Democratic Congress which can use Gingrich’s gameplay against Bush, Gingrich and the Republicans. Congressional Review Act

As an after word I want to remind people of two things. First is that Newt Gingrich who truly is an evil megalomaniac – just read that quote there – is already running for President in 2012.

And secondly that if you tune in and listen to the likes of Limbaugh, Hannity or what have you on the radio, their biggest issue, the new enemy of humankind are environmentalists. It is no longer communism, homosexuality or immigration that is the central evil in the world today, it is the LIE of Climate Change. This evil is being led by Satan himself, Al Gore and his right hand man, NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies director, James Hanson. Righ-wing Talk Radio is the truth, science is the lie, war is peace and Republicans care about you.
