CAG: 35 Years of Irrelevancy June 8, 2009
It’s hard to believe that the local Citizens’ Action Group has marked it’s 35 year anniversary.
Never has so much publicity been given to so few who have done so little with so much out of state money.
износилование порно Look, all the Citizens Action Group people are nice people. They all WANT to do good things. But, for the most part, and especially at the legislative level, they are considered… well… kooky.

And, when their 35th year anniversary is marked by a celebration where they honor foaming-at-the-mouth-enviro Vivian Stockman and Delegate Barbara Fleischauer.
Yep, the kookiness is confirmed.
Some of their causes are good causes. For instance, there is nothing wrong with wanting more openness in government. I even support their position to at least pilot some public financing of judicial campaigns. OK, I can go even that far.
But, most of their causes are kooky… well… actually I’m OK with kooky causes, at least they are causes (Ron Paul for instance is at least entertaining). But, what has happened with CAG and most of the enviros is they are simply irrelevant.
Kooky is fun, although misguided.
At least there is some entertainment value in watching the kooks like that one little dude who gets called the “keeper of the mountains” and gets all the press because someone is mining across the vista. Now, at least there is some entertainment in him explaining that the main reason he is against mountaintop removal ISN”T because his land has lost value but because he wants to protect the environment and the red-tailed blue-headed, silver-tongued wombat. Again, entertaining at least.
Oh, and there is the nutcase from Louisiana who chains himself to Massey equipment. Now, there’s a kook in the true sense of the word. He is one of those guys that would probably sue Massey for getting hurt while illegally chaining himself to their equipment, but hey, at least he’s kooky and not boring.
But, the problem with CAG is they have gotten to the point of total irrelevancy. I don’t even know what they do anymore. I couldn’t even tell you who in the heck their leader is. I’m sorry to say this, but they are irrelevant and boring.
How many times can you award the same four people, err.. the ONLY four people, who support them in the Legislature? I mean, how many plaques can you give Fleischauer, Bonnie Brown, Dan Foster, and Nancy Guthrie?
Oh, and where do I sign up for the $150,000 prize that the one lady in Boone County just won? You have to love that - she ran the mining and all the miners who earned a living out of her little patch woods and then knocked down a cool $150,000 for herself. I’m sure the irony in receiving a financial reward while she put many in her community out of work is lost on the enviros who hail her as a modern day Joan of Arc.
And, don’t get me wrong, I’ve liked some of the people CAG had working there over the years, but it simply gets down to a point that no one knows what they do or, even worse, cares.

Entertaining column, Vic! I love it when someone pokes a sharp stick at the enviro-wackos!
Oh Lord, you mentioned Ron Paul. Now we’re in for a gazillion lengthy lectures from people who insist we’re a bunch of socialists and claim to know what conservatism REALLY is.
so you are no longer posting daily, instead you are reposting old blogs? what about the scotus ruling on the Caperton/benjamin matter…nothing?
Big Ron Paul guy here, thanks for calling him entertaining. He is very entertaining
I don’t know much about these Citizens’ Action Group but from the sounds of it just another government money pit.
Have to check it out, maybe even shut it down if need.
Although I don’t know these people of this CAG you are really demeaning yourself by calling them ‘kooky’ this much. Even thought you do trying to sweep it up with ‘nice’ I’m just kidding comments.
I’m new to this area but it kind of reveals the kind of person you are….
