This is of course about the old Republican standby of demonizing liberals for "Knee Jerk" reactions. That if something bad happens, it is wrong to do anything. Wrong only if it has to do with matters of the environment.
You know second only to tax breaking ourselves into massive debt, the Republican high road is the wholesale destruction of the environment. The Koch Brothers propaganda works, environmentalists are now considered on par with the Klan and al Qaeda in the destruction of America.
The message is clear. If you are not for dirty air and water then Energy companies will not hire you and will fire you after they eliminate unions completely. So please take a crap on the Earth.
