So what do loony lefties do when one of their new pals, like Venezuelan dictator Hugo Chavez unveils plans to cut a 5,000 mile scar from Venezuela to Argentina straight through the heart of the South American rainforest? Not a word.
Nearly every whacko lefty has been down to Venezuela lately to suck up to that communist thug Chavez. Jesse "Shakedown" Jackson, Harry Belafonte and now the witch Sheehan have been leading the red brigades to worship another America hating socialist.
Yet, with all the hate-filled anti-American screeching, not one peep about this rape of nature.
Well no surprise I guess. After all, these folks who profess to care so much about peace and human rights are quick to look the other way when a Chavez or Saddam starts butchering people.
Maybe we could get Chavez to drill for oil in the Artic National Wildlife Refuge. What do you bet the left wouldn't say a word?
Winston-Salem Journal: Environmentalists were caught off guard when South American leaders announced plans to build a major natural-gas pipeline through the Amazon rain forest.
Proponents say that the $20billion project, still in early planning stages, will help satisfy the growing regional demand for gas and help make South America less dependent on outside sources.
But environmentalists say that it could damage part of the Amazon - the world's largest wilderness - by polluting waterways, destroying trees and creating roads that could draw ranchers and loggers.
President Hugo Chavez of Venezuela says that the pipeline is a central part of his efforts to reduce dependence on the United States and its pressure for free-market policies known as the Washington Consensus.
It is 'the beginning of the South American consensus,' Chavez has said. 'This pipeline is vital for us.'
