Taking the Wind Out of Environmental Sails

Teddy Kennedy (MA-Socialist) has long been known as a champion of the environment. Between him and his nephew Robert Kennedy Jr., they are held as paragons, true leaders of the environmental movement. Let us first consider that many environmental groups, like the Sierra Club, are FOR-PROFIT, and thus have a vested interest in your tax dollars going to pet environmental projects, just as all businesses who try and get a piece of the Federal trough. That should provide perspective as to who holds them in such high regard.

Robert Kennedy Jr. has even been on the air waves recently ridiculing the Bush Administration’s failure to adopt the Kyoto Protocols, better known as the “Death of Western Industry” Accord. He and Teddy stand as strong advocates for taxpayer funding, that’s you paying them money, of alternate energy sources. They blame our dependence on fossil fuels on the greedy designs of oil barons and Republicans who sit on their fat yachts and in their fat mansions and plot your environmental doom.

Well, as in all things, the Kennedy’s are rank hypocrites and their stench-filled rhetoric spews from Hyannis all the way to Washington. Although this is an older story, Teddy and Bob Jr. have sought to have blocked a series of wind turbines that would provide two-thirds of Cape Cod’s power through a massive wind farm on the shores of Cape Cod and Martha’s Vineyard. That power is currently supplied by coal-fired plants. So why, gentle reader, would such noble environmental champions want to block such a useful and green project? Is it perhaps interfering with the breeding grounds of some snail or perhaps even a more noble mammal? Is a rare species of kelp at risk from the construction? Should we be chaining ourselves to driftwood off the Cape in protest?

No, if only it were that left-friendly. In a move just dripping with hypocrisy, showing you once again how little those in power, especially the Hard Left, think they should be held to the same account as commoners such as ourselves, Bob Jr. complained “that the project would be built in one of the family’s favorite sailing and yachting areas”. By all accounts, they wouldn’t even be able to see the turbines from their infamous compound six miles away, but heaven forbid we should interfere with the playgrounds of some rich clan smelling of decadence and rot, a family whose foundation was built on the criminal exploits of their patriarch Joe Kennedy Sr.; a family rife with scandal including the abandonment and death by at least neglect and at most design of a young campaign worker for Senator Teddy himself. No, we should bow to their vast and more important need of a place to sail their yachts.

If you’re a big fan of the environmental movement, and if you’re a Hard Lefty who is not a rank hypocrite, and I know there are so few of you, why don’t you vote with your dollars and protest with your computer and stop this walking alcoholic embarrassment and his spoiled brat of a nephew from further besmirching your already besieged causes. Do yourself and peripherally the rest of us a favor and retire these genetic disasters out to pasture. Truly, this is something that should demand bipartisan support, get rid of the Kennedy’s.
