re: Commie Pope Francis Tells 60 Minutes that Conservativism Is “A Suicidal Attitude”

Yet he represents the radical left that has a history of failed economies, mass murders and corruption.

You confuse his idyllic ramblings on the environment with an American political categorization.

Did you read any of the encyclicals or his statements with an understanding of past Papal messages like Rerum Novarum? It is easy for the American to see the Pope's words on the environment and think it is an attack on our SUVs, energy sector, and an attempt at wading into US domestic politics.

Sure, I bet he does have an opinion about us. Still, much of what he has said regarding the environment is very much true when you consider that he is also talking about horrific battery material mining and Chinese manufacturing processes.

I am not a Greenpeace devotee and am no lover of the EPA, but you can be honest and realize that he 1) doesn't just talk to Americans and 2) is not saying anything that we aren't thinking when he discusses the real harm that some economic activities are having to large portions of the earth.

Do you think it is evil when kids are mining toxic stuff out of the earth in slave conditions in the Congo, all in the name of allowing first world hippies to live "green" lives?

Do you think it is evil when China poisons the lands, waters, and air to make cheap stuff?
