Recently at my blog,
http://howthemedialies.blogspot.com I wrote an opinion piece about RFK, Jr. and his remarks that anyone who denies global warming is man made is guilty of treason. Here's the article.
=========================
I heard Robert Kennedy Jr. calling those of us who don't believe in man made global warming traitors... I get it. Any time you disagree with the current administration, that's being patriotic (rants Hillary Clinton) but not when you disagree with people who are disagreeing!!!
Wow, that's so convoluted, I almost can't follow the logic! What has Kennedy done himself that wasn't subsidized by his family's fortune? He bashes big nameless corporations who have contributed more in jobs and benefits to the common good than he ever will as an environmental "toady" speaking in front of a bunch of groupies at "Live Earth".
Here's an example of a "have" speaking to a bunch of "have nots" trying to convince them that he is one of them. What a hypocrite. He has been living off his family's trust fund for years to subsidize his "day job" and he has the nerve to call us traitors?
Mr. Kennedy, take your raspy voiced ramblings and go away. And take your fat, bloated uncle Ted with you!

To these I say, "So what?" One of my points was that his family's money is invested in these "evil corporations" he rants about. Hypocrite! And those investments are earning money for him and his family of "toadys" all outside of the inheritance tax and income tax laws so you poor people will never see a cent of it!
But my original obersvation goes like this: If he weren't Robert F. Kennedy's son, who would be listening to him? It's like Heather Mills. Would anyone know who she was if she hadn't married Paul McCartney? NO. There are a lot of people out here who are "just folks" like me who have good ideas, but because our fathers weren't someone famous, we do not have a platform. BULL! The Internet has changed all of that.
And just because Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s dad was famous doesn't mean I have to listen or believe what he has to say! He's just "another guy" who has an opinion about the environment. It happens to be wrong, but we'll let history take care of that. He's tied his horse to the wrong wagon and time will show that he's a blow hard just like his Uncle Ted!
I'm a patriot and no RFKJr can convice me otherwise, the big government liberal "
toady"!
