It isn’t really a coincidence that Earth Day falls on the same day as the founder of Communism’s Birthday!  Isn’t it that odd that with 365 days to choose from that Lenin’s Birthday is the chosen day to celebrate Earth Day. But then, EnvironMENTALism is the chosen substitute for Communism. Just follow the dots.

Earth Day Is Lenin’s Birthday – Coincidence or Communism? by Alan Caruba

In 1955, then Soviet Premier, Nikita Krushchev ordered April 22nd be designated a day to celebrate Communism. In 1970, it was chosen to be Earth Day by Gaylord Nelson, one of the founders of the event. Those founders had 365 days from which to choose. They chose Lenin’s birthday.

When Communism was imposed on Russia in 1917, the first thing it did was to outlaw the ownership of private property. Under Communism, the State owns all property and all natural resources. In recent years in the United States, the Clinton-Gore Administration has declared millions of acres of mineral and oil-rich areas to be national monuments. The U.S.government already owns more than forty percent of the nation’s landmass. Individual States own property as well, bringing the total closer to fifty percent. There are measures in Congress right now that would provide a dedicated stream of funding to insure that States will purchase still more property to put off limits to any use or development. The keystone of Capitalism is the ownership of private property. The Founding Fathers felt so strongly about this the Fifth Amendment protects this right, stating that no private property shall be taken for public use without just compensation. Across the nation, however, the government has effectively “taken” private property through such devices as the Endangered Species Act that denies the use of any property on which a listed species is found. Owners of such properties effectively lose them to government control. Wetlands legislation has a similar effect on owners of private property, denying them the use of their property if it is designated a wetland. These are environmental laws.

The similarities between the philosophy and programs advocated by the Greens and totalitarian forms of government are numerous. What better way to undermine the economy of this nation than to deny its citizens the benefits of its natural resources? Even access and use of national parks is being increasingly restricted.

Today, fully a third of all federal laws and regulations are devoted to the so-called “protection of the environment.” They impact property ownership and the use of all energy sources. Vast areas of the U.S., despite known, huge reserves of oil and coal, have been put off limits. Virtually no structure can be built without an environmental impact study being undertaken. Right now, there are Administration efforts to destroy dams providing hydroelectric power in the northwest, ostensibly to save salmon. In countless ways, so-called environmental laws impact our lives, even down to the amount of water one can use to flush a toilet!

Hmmm. Seems to me the Congress just passed MORE legislation restricting land use.

So, instead of celebrating Earth Day, we can all celebrate Lenin’s Birthday and the birth of Communism/Earth Day.

This is what the environMENTALists want YOU to be driving!

Earth Day, Lenin’s Birthday, communism, progressives, junk science, Mother Gaia

The Progressives always come up with these feel good names of bills to completely buffalo you to the bills true intentions. This bill sounds like the “UN Convention on the Rights of The Child”.

From Andie Brownlow at Pajamas Media:

Just in case you decided to give parenthood a shot, you may be interested in some new legislation on the horizon. The Safe Babies Act of 2009 (S.1554 and H.R. 3474), in conjunction with S. 678, is designed to promote judicial activism and create the establishment of a national authority for all court cases involving “maltreated” children 3 and under. There’s nothing like a rigged courtroom to make parents feel all warm and tingly inside.

Upon the bill’s passage, the director of the National Institute of Justice, in cooperation with the Department of Health and Human Services, will award a five-year, twenty-five million dollar grant to a national early childhood development organization. For an unnamed entity, its full description in the bill is suspiciously specific.

The grant recipient will work with an agency from the Department of Justice to form the “National Court Teams Resources Center.” This center is tasked with recruiting “local court teams” consisting of judges and social service workers in all parts of the U.S. The center will “develop materials to guide qualified judges in the decision making process regarding maltreated infants and toddlers, and to train members of local Court Teams and others in the community regarding the appropriate care of maltreated infants and toddlers.”

A commenter tells about how things are in the UK with the UN Conventions:

There are bills to have the state “model” correct parenting and make home visits. There’s the UN Convention on the Rights of The Child, which requires parents to negociate with their children; this treaty has been used to have judges undo curfews and punishments of parents. In Britain parents can’t give their children a kiss good-bye at school, can’t enter their children’s schools without a criminal background check, can’t carpool other children, can’t baby-sit unless they get government permission; There are many families required to live with cameras in their homes to make them do as the gov’t says in rearing their children. It will be like that here soon if we don’t oppose this madenss. Please see attached article from the UK Daily Mail:

Sen. Tom Harkin (D-IA) and Rep Rosa DeLauro (D-CT) are the creators of this parental rights take away.
