It was certainly the Superbowl equivalent of a Cheap Trick.

The Green Police, they live inside of my head. The Green Police, they come to me in my bed…

The planet is dying! Go green! Pass climate change legislation! Unless of course it impacts the lives of wealthy progressives. The Boston Herald reports that wealthy liberals on Martha’s Vineyard are fighting MA Governor Deval Patrick’s plan to build wind power turbines there.

What a surprise! They’re all for “green” power unless it’s in their backyard.

“Blazing a trail for renewable energy, Go. Deval Patrick is alienating Martha’s Vineyard’s liberal rich and famous by pushing a plan to lease state waters for 166 450-foot-high wind turbines between the pristine vacation spots of Gay Head cliffs and Cuttyhunk Island.”

“People come here because it’s a very special place. Not because they’re going to see David Letterman or someone, but because they can see the world the way it used to be,” argued an outraged Chilmark resident Andy Goldman.”

“Goldman, a retired trial attorney, and his wife Susan Heilbron, a former commissioner of New York City’s waterfront, are generals of the grassroots uprising Let Vineyarders Decide.”

“I plead guilty to thinking global warming is a real problem, but that doesn’t mean everybody who has a plan with the word ‘green’ has to be supported,” Goldman said.”

“Patrick’s final plan, due from Secretary of Energy and Environmental Affairs Ian A. Bowles no later than Dec. 31, would permit a commercial wind farm of up to 100 turbines southwest of the wildlife refuge Nomans Land adjacent to the Vineyard and another 66 turbines off Cuttyhunk Island. State waters extend three miles from shore. The turbines would be comparable to 50-story buildings crowned with strobe lights.”

“James Feiner, a Vineyard real estate broker, claims he lost a $2 million-plus home sale on Gay Head this fall when his client – an environmentalist, no less – got wind of Patrick’s plan and bolted.”

“A mortified Feiner wasn’t even aware it was being discussed.”

“For them to run a band (of turbines) from Cuttyhunk to Nomans Land is idiotic,” Feiner said. “It would have impacted the whole water view of (my client’s) property.”

His client’s property??? Hasn’t Mr. Feiner heard that we’re all socialists now? It’s no longer his client’s property, it belongs to all of us.

The religion of global warming, that is. Behold!

BEEF. It’s what’s for dinner.

After listening closely, I’m wondering. Was this video narrated by John Boehner? Hmm…

This may have been before Van Jones was appointed the “Green Jobs Czar” but that doesn’t excuse it at all. This is a man who is a self-described Communist, who works for the President of the United States.

The left will devour this as the juicy red meat it is but they have no idea how much it hurts their cause. Have they already forgotten that approximately 50% of the country didn’t vote for Obama?

Paging all the Prius driving, Birkenstock wearing, granola eating, environmental activist Obama supporters…

What’s up with this?

It’s ironic that after all the hype about Obama and his supporters stressing their GREENNESS that they left DC an absolute DUMP.

I guess all that talk about protecting the environment was just talk.

Woodstock in 1969 was left in better condition than our nation’s capital city yesterday.

It’s really just more “do as we say, not as we do” from the sanctimonious left. I’m sure we’ll see much much more of this over the next four years.
