Speaking of energy efficiency in building design and effective use of space...

... did you know the Conservatives in the country are calling environmentalists WATERMELONS? 

According to the Righties in the country environmentalists are communists in disguise.  They are green on the outside and red on the inside.

Now, if one is familiar with old watermelon references, it is easy to say it is more than propaganda, but, down right racism.

But, there isn't any sense in going there really.  It isn't productive.  What also isn't productive is calling environmentalists communists.

Because.;

Because the sincerely communist enthusiasts are the Red Party GOP Republicans.  Don't know about the Tea Party, but, it is my guess they are just as red on the inside as the GOP.

It was the Republicans that sold out the USA to China.  It is due to the Chinese influence in the USA that our wages are so low, our benefits are so poor and our pay scales low.  The Republicans couldn't break down the unions by themselves, so they had to out sourced American jobs in order to LEVERAGE pressure in the American work force to bring down wages so they can increase their bottom line AT ANY COST.

So, when Republicans and their right wing media decide to call environmentalists 'Watermelons' perhaps they sincerely should take a long look in the mirror.
