Yes, well at least the rest of us can proudly say that our parents are not brother and sister. Must be great for you to be able to hold your family reunion in a phonebooth!
You are going to have to do a lot better than than, mouth breather. Having a feeling of social responsibility toward your fellow man, and the planet which we inhabit, does not make you liberal, it makes you evolved. When you can take a step back and understand that the actions your species are having a negative impact on the biosphere, and that you believe your actions can reverse the damage done to this point, that puts you on a level above the dumb animals who survive on instinct. Failure to acknowledge this responsibility precludes you from that group, and places you in the lower group.

And what exactly did you two favorite bed monkeys Gore and Clinton do for the enviro when they were in office?
Thats right NOTHING. They didnt even have the balls to send Kyoto to Congress and they did NOTHING that comes close to this. What, no smarter than thou everyone who believes in Religion is an idiot comment for that?

If you're proof of what religion can do for someone, its time to finally ban the practice.
You also need a little lesson in history pal. Clinton actually left a substantial legacy when it comes to the enviroment. Even though Clinton had to fight the Republican dominated congress, and many State legislatures that were at the time fighting against federal laws (the Clean Air Act, the Clean Water Act, and the Endangered Species Act).
Clinton ended up establishing 22 national monuments which included some six million acres. In addition there were 42 wildlife refuges created. In addition, Charles Levendosky reminds us there were also 84 million acres underwater set aside in the Hawaiian Islands. This has made him the president who preserved more land in national monuments in the lower 48 states than another other president since Theodore Roosevelt. In addition, Clinton protected more than 58 million acres of forest land in 39 different states by banning the building of roads protecting this forest land from development. Clinton was also able to increase protective regulations over air and water, as well as restrict mining and grazing on public lands, allowing him to claim partial victories over some of the same environmental battles he had lost in his first term.

Go back to wearing berkinstocks and not showering while collecting EI and whining about how people should pay more taxes.

Where in any of the information posted here does it say anyone should PAY more taxes? In fact, I proposed that people should get tax relief for being green and switching to more environmentally friendly solutions to energy and transportation. In fact, that was the only government involvement in any of the plans I suggested. Now was that too difficult for you to comprehend? This isn't rocket science. It's using existing technology to do something we should already be doing, looking after our own back yard. And what's really ironic, you're crying about an enterprise that would GUARANTEE you more money in your pocket. No utility bills, no gas payments, and the potential of selling your excess energy back onto the grid. And all of that is a bad thing. Very short sighted from a very small minded indiviual.
Now, do everyone a favor and stay the hell off your sister. We don't want your genes spreading any further than they already have.
