This is sort of a part 2 to my earlier post 'Political Correctness'. This is an explanation of why I am happy to be politically incorrect. Basically, I see it as an antidote to all the political correctness that surrounds me in this country. And how do I accomplish this in practice? Primarily by being anti-green. First of all, I have a large V8 SUV with four wheel drive. The fuel economy is so bad that I'm not sure you can even measure it in miles per gallon. Gallons per mile might actually be more appropriate. I think there should be at least one on the road for every Prius.

Next, things like glass bottles, plastic containers and even batteries go straight into the regular trash. I only use the recycling bin for large items like cardboard boxes in order to cut down on the amount of trash bags I have to use. Now,  don't get me wrong - I don't do this in order to keep the plastic bags out of the land fill. No, I do it so I don't have to take the trash out so often. With four kids our family generates a lot of trash and it becomes a real hassle to empty the trash can multiple times per day. As soon as my son is big enough to empty the trash, thus giving me some help, we may never use the recycling bin ever again.

But let me be serious for a moment. Why would I want to jump on the 'green' bandwagon? It is an idea that is being championed by the liberal media and the crazy people in Hollywood so why would any sane person want to be a part of it? And isn't it interesting that so many of these people who want to 'save the planet' care nothing at all about saving unborn babies? And with that we come to the real reason for this post.

I will not be green or try to save the planet or any other such nonsense until such a point that the unborn are completely protected. The reason for this is that there seems to me to be a huge fallacy behind the idea of being 'green'. It is the idea that mankind is here to serve the planet instead of the planet having been created by God for the use of mankind. Now, I am willing to admit that men are the stewards of the planet and that it actually belongs to God. Therefore, we don't have the right to treat it in whatever way is convenient to us: such as dumping toxic waste into rivers or lakes. But all the other 'being green' nonsense that is touted by the pro-abortion liberals is absolutely ridiculous. Why would I want to save the planet unless all the people who it was created for are allowed to be born so that they too may use it as God intended?

Now that's a little about how and why I am anti-green. But let's be honest: I'm only one man. If this anti-green campaign is going to catch on and succeed I will need your help. So the next time you're at your favorite fast food restaurant make sure you use the drive-thru. Also, make sure you don't turn the engine off; instead, crank up the A/C and rev the engine. Next, when lighting your house use only the biggest, brightest incandescent bulbs you can find and leave all of your lights on 24 hours a day. Lastly, whenever you're at a red light and the light turns 'green' then floor it and burn rubber.

Great blog and great piece, Father. It makes me think of John Zmirak's line about how to tell subculture Catholics (of whom he is one and I hope to be): you know you have one when you see them In a large van with Pro Life/ Pray the Rosary/Fatima/Medjugorje/NRA stickers.

Thanks for the comment and tell others about my blog. I like the imagery of the big van with all the stickers. Especially the NRA sticker. That's funny.

An excessively bold person could aggressively ask for money, or persistently push a person to fulfill some request, and so on. Boldness does not necessarily mean obnoxious; it is possible for one to be bold, while staying silent. Thanks for sharing.
