JUST BECAUSE THEY PISS ME OFF: THE SIERRA CLUB

High gas prices?!  Damn oil companies!  Damn tycoons making all that money, how dare they make a profit!  Wait...  Isn't that what they are supposed to do?  Isn't it in their best interest to remain profitable and find new sources of revenue?  Of course.

Enter the Sierra Club, those caregivers to the environment they care so much don't they?  I mean, recently they even went out of their way to speak out against the alleged trophy killing of two Bison in Canada.  Two.

If any liberal is reading this please listen.  The Sierra Club cares nothing about the environment and is only concerned with destroying capitalism and replacing it with socialist communism.  Just look at the commie scumbags that fund them:  Thanks Discover the Networks!

 

Over the years, the Sierra Club has dropped all pretense of being non-partisan. In June 2004, it published a "fact-sheet" alleging that the "Bush administration is weakening proven clean air protections and threatening the progress we have made over the last 30 years." A similar warning was voiced by Sierra Club President Larry Fahn, who gave Democratic Presidential candidate John Kerry his organization's official endorsement.

In addition to publishing calendars and books for children as well adults (proceeds from which underwrite Sierra Club initiatives), the organization publishes Sierra magazine, a bi-monthly periodical featuring articles of interest to environmentalists. Additionally, the Sierra Club distributes the Sierra Club Insider, a bi-monthly newsletter informing subscribers of the club's ongoing campaigns. The Sierra Club also publishes its own blog, called "Field Notes." Authored by Carl Pope, the blog focuses heavily on the alleged environmental transgressions of the Bush administration.

In 2002, the Sierra Club reported $23,619,830 in revenues, and disclosed $107,733,974 worth of assets to the IRS. Among its financial supporters are the Bauman Family Foundation; the Beldon Fund; the Compton Foundation; the Geraldine R. Dodge Foundation; the Ford Foundation; the Scherman Foundation; the Bullitt Foundation, the Energy Foundation, the Foundation for Deep Ecology, the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation, the David and Lucile Packard Foundation, the Joyce Foundation, the Blue Moon Fund; the Morris and Gwendolyn Cafritz Foundation; the J.M. Kaplan Fund, Pew Charitable Trusts, the Nathan Cummings Foundation, the Rockefeller Brothers Fund, the Turner Foundation, and many others.

The Sierra Club has endorsed a document called the Earth Charter, which blames capitalism for many of the world's environmental, social, and economic problems.

The organization co-sponsored the April 25, 2004 "March for Women's Lives" which advocated unrestricted access to taxpayer-funded abortion-on-demand. It is also a member organization of the Win Without War and Abolition 2000 anti-war coalitions.

The Sierra Club.  Because they piss me off.
