The systematic dismantling of everything liberal & progressive

[tex-wyo-dem]

This is an article from Outside Magazine published in the May 2005 issue. Although the article is about how the RW is dismantling and "rebranding" environmentalism, you can be sure this very same tactic is being used for all sorts of liberal and progressive institutions...Social Security comes to mind.

It's all about think tanks and how to sway public opinion through marketing tactics. It's sold as being good for everyone, where in reality it's only good for the corporatists and ultra-wealthy.

Check out the 20 most powerful voices leading the environmental counterrevolution...some interesting names.

Thanks for posting.

It's amazing how those of us who want to protect the environment are called "tree-huggers" and "granolas".

3. Couldn't agree with you more...

My heart really lies in issues regarding the environment...as I see it, it trumps all other issues in importance.

What's happening now with the RW machine could dismantle environmental progress made since the '60s...and it's making me sick.
