When we recently saw a DVD titled “Resisting the Green Dragon,” we were thought it had to be a bad 1980’s Kung-Fu movie.
We were wrong… it was MUCH WORSE than an 80’s Kung-Fu movie…
This 12-piece DVD set comes from a coalition of religious groups, including Right Wing Watch.
It battles with the newest demon to threaten the world as we know it: ENVIRONMENTALSTS!!!!
Check out this bit from the press release:
“One of the greatest threats to society and the church today is the multifaceted environmentalist movement,” says Cornwall Alliance founder and national spokesman Dr. E. Calvin Beisner. “There isn’t an aspect of life that it doesn’t seek to force into its own mold.”
Essentially, this series intends to dispel “rumors” of climate change and delegitimize “radical environmentalists”.
Evidently Right Wing Watch thinks environmentalists intend not to save the planet but to (insert scary music here) destroy the Bible and Christianity as we know it!!!
We at US Democrazy are huge supporters of democracy, and enjoy a robust discussion on issues of the day.
But we also think crazy contributors to this discussion should be challenged vigorously.
Do you think “Resisting the Green Dragon” is a little on the crazy-side?

We at usDemoCrazy love appending any noun (we mean any!) with the word “gate.” (you know… like Watergate)
Though not the most recent “______gate” scandal, climategate is one that is still going strong.
Climategate began when a hacker broke into a server used by the Climatic Research Unit of the University of East Anglia (England). The hacker stole thousands of e-mails and other documents and released them to the public. The public (read: probably not scientists) alleged that some scientists researching climate change “falsified data to support their theories and destroyed data that refutes them.”
In other words they were cooking the books on Global Warming.
This perception of scientific wrongdoing has stood–until now:
It appears climategate is a hot topic once again.
Being a skeptic is not entirely a bad thing.
If fact, we at USDemocrazy think it is healthy to question common wisdom (which is in short supply in our office). …read more.
Some people think it is time for urgent action to help save the world from climate change. Other folks are much less worried. President Obama seems to know in which direction he wants to go… it just may slow going! (cartoon by Kal)
In the spirit of the holidays we have decided to give you a carol to sing with your friends and neighbors.( Courtesy of David Horsey). Of course there are some cynics who don’t believe in climate change… We at USDemocrazy know it is a certainty… because Santa told us so…
