    What exactly was said there that's offensive to anybody? Not polluting and trying to conserve seems like a pretty sound message, no?

    PS the comments on there are hilarious.

    If there was a lyrics along the lines of, "The future of green starts today and only Obama can pave the way"
    then you may have a case, but this is nothing at all, not even the beginning of a slippery slope.

    In 2010 it's been climate change, in 2000 it was recycling, in 1990 it was saving the rain forest, in 1980 it was littering, in 1970 it was pesticides. I'll have to wikipedia this but I'm pretty sure within that timespan repubs and demos have both been behind the wheel.

    Re... remem... ber when you were warning us about that 'Indoctrination Video' in which Obama was going to recruit all the little children on the first day of school?

    That was cool.
    Whatever happened with that?

    Clean air and clean water are very, very bad things. Keep the children away!

    Indoctrination is surely inferior to education but I'd rather hear these kids do a little pro-earth rap over having them chant "Drill, baby drill" any day! And if you really want to teach a kid something very cool and useful, go outside with them and plant a tree.

    I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say, 'I imagine the people quoting Hilter and Stalin... commenting about Marxism and Socialism... are the same people who want the 'Pledge Of Alligence' and teacher/administrator lead prayer in our schools'.
    ...
    I said I'd go out on a limb... but, not very far out.

    Let's not forget that the chants of "drill, baby, drill" were loud and clear before the 11 men who died on the Deepwater Horizon were even laid to rest. Some compassionate country we got here. Repulsive.

    You STILL hear that chant. The 11 lives don't really matter when you remember the bumper sticker slogan, "Freedom... er... Oil Isn't Free!". In that case, they died doing what they loved... so, that makes it okay that they died.

    Actually... I don't understand why a Conservative wouldn't like Conservation. They only differ in the last two letters.

    Maybe they don't really know what "to conserve" means.

    "Don’t buy plastic products off the super market shelf"? "Boycott, petition, and let big business know"…

    How about recycle your plastic instead?

    Oh my god, the horror :)

    You know what's most absurd about this outrage? It's that Republicans and especially Tea Partiers keep telling us that we don't need pesky environmental regulations. They say we don't need the EPA, the FDA, etc. They say that business will police itself because businesses know that if they don't, consumers will vote with their pocketbooks and they'll lose money for having poor business practices. (This is utter BS, by the way - witness the BP oil spill - but it's what the right and their minions have repeatedly said).

    So now you say that you're not only against regulation, but you're against boycotts and petitions, too? That's ridiculous. Make up your mind.

    completely agreed here. big business can not police itself. if it could we woukd not have so much of the predatory capitalism that we have today. unregulated business is one step away from fascism.

    yesterday ... extreme weather took the life of approximately 175 people in the southern united states and caused millions of dollars in damage ...

    this is not meant to take a tragedy to push an agenda ... it is simply a plea to those who continue to not witness the changing world and trust the scientists that have dedicated much of their lives to our understanding of weather and global warming ...

    as long as we continue to believe the lies of big oil in order to further their greed - we can expect to see more destruction ...

    yes on friday april 22 a tornado ripped through the neighborhood next to mine and damaged our airport pretty badly. the airport is about a mile or so from my house. i had a very close call and only had some trees come down and got a leaky roof out of it. people i know from high school had their homes completely destroyed and lost everything. on 4/23 i was basically barricaded in my neighborhood due to streets being clased. on 4/24 i went out and surveyed the damage and it was just incredible. many of the streets around my home are still unpassable and people are still without power 6 days later. on the street i take every day to go to my gym there is a stoplight. when sitting at that stoplight if you look to your right before last friday you would see a 2 story log cabin type building that housed several businesses. it was a good size building. i went to the gym sunday, stopped at that light, looked to my right and could see the highway. then it dawned on me that that building is gone. completely blown away. the only thing left was the foundation. truely scary stuff

    these tornados are very real, and in april of 2011 we have had a record nuber of them here in the US and there are still two days left with strom storms still over the country.

    Until people recognize that this extreme weather is global warming, the Right will continue with the 'indoctrination' bullshit.

    The idea of Global Warming was brought to the mainstream by Al Gore. Al Gore has a "D" next to his name. This causes instant opposition because the people of America only see in Rs and Ds--they do not have the mental capacity or intellectual curiousity to see any differently. Environmentalism is simply labeled "liberal , hippie propaganda."

    Also, there is the whole thing concerning that 2,000 year old book of fiction, that fairy tale that people still cling to s the "word of god." Genesis 1:26 reads: “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness. And let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over the livestock and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.”

    That is the opposition: stupidity and fairy tales.
