Could this explain Pelosi's motive for blocking the vote on offshore drilling

Patrick Moore - Co Founder of Greenpeace on what has happened to the environmental movement.

The Rise of Eco-Extremism
Two profound events triggered the split between those advocating a pragmatic or "liberal" approach to ecology and the new "zero-tolerance" attitude of the extremists. The first event, mentioned previously, was the widespread adoption of the environmental agenda by the mainstream of business and government. This left environmentalists with the choice of either being drawn into collaboration with their former "enemies" or of taking ever more extreme positions. Many environmentalists chose the latter route. They rejected the concept of "sustainable development" and took a strong "anti-development" stance.

Surprisingly enough the second event that caused the environmental movement to veer to the left was the fall of the Berlin Wall. Suddenly the international peace movement had a lot less to do. Pro-Soviet groups in the West were discredited. Many of their members moved into the environmental movement bringing with them their eco-Marxism and pro-Sandinista sentiments.

For those who have had enough...

When the staffer tells you that you are not a constituent (if you don't live in Ca) Kindly remind the staffer that she is a member of the United States Congress, not California, and as such her "decisions" affect all of our wallets. you'll only get to leave a message, but it's fun nonetheless.

Eco-fascists, Eco-marxists, Eco-terrorists are all the same. They cannot accept that they have always been wrong, always will be wrong, and have not had an original solution in 50 years. Instead of solutions, they managed to lie, cheat, and buy the US congress; and that became obvious Friday.

I did try to contact Pelosi and Reid, and like any typical liberal, they aren't taking calls. So I emailed, pointed out my disappointment with each of them, and also describing my wish for them to charged with treason and shot like stray dog. I'm sure they don't care, they will go home and drink sparkling water and eat caviar and brie; while I take on a second job to pay for the gas to get to the first one.

Drilling will get us more oil for a few decades but after that is done, then what? We are back to square 1 with no oil and no alternative fuel sources!

Don't get me wrong, I am not a tree hugger and I could care less about the birds but we need an alternative fuel source!!!

Why are you surprised?

All real Americans have known for years that she is corrupt, malfeaseant, subversive, and treasonous.

She is taking her direction from "watermelons"....
Green on the outside red at the core..

Pelosi.. Taking the Democracy out of Democrat.

Damascus Nancy must be voted out then tried for treason! She's an idiot who betrays the intrest of the United States at every turn! I've called her uselss office countles times

Pelosi isn't caving in to the oil companies' demands so, therefore, the Republicans hate her.

Neither of your "explanations" fits. Offshore drilling is simply put, a bad idea and unnecessay.

Nancy Pelosi is nothing but a fascist who does not believe in free speech or the democratic process.

ms. pelosi is a toxic waste dump herself with hazardous levels of

botox in her system!

It is really hard to take anyone seriously who thinks we can drill our way out of the problem.

Anyone who think we can drill our way out of this is stupid What next If I earn more money this increase in gas well not hurt me so bad Think people

No. The "motive" is very simple. We know that global warming is a serious threat and tat is cause is the burning of fossil fuels. That must be phased out.

Pelosi knows that--and isn't on the payroll of Exxon, etc. Unlike the Republicans, she puts our country first and lining her pockets with oil money second.

BTW: thee is NO SUCH THING as "sustainable development" if it includes continued reliance on fossil fuels. Period. That isn't even debatable.

LOL, let her do her thing, If she keeps this up the majority of the house and sennate will be red again like it should be so we can give McCain all the support he needs to get the country back on track. You got some real winners with the three below me
