Moonbats Hold Up Wal-Marts for 5 Years

Humans won a small victory over environmentalists Friday when a judge finally ruled after a five-year legal battle that Wal-Mart can build a couple of stores in Bakersfield.
The stores were green-lighted by the Bakersfield City Council back in 2003. But then a group of moonbats calling itself "Bakersfield Citizens for Local Control" stepped in. Opposition was largely based on Wal-Mart supposedly not having completed a satisfactory environmental impact report, though the chain was later asked to prove that its wide selection and low prices wouldn't put any other stores out of business. So much for economic freedom.
Lee Jamieson, the developer of one of the stores, observes:
This had nothing to do with the environment, this had to do with labor unions and shutting down Wal-Mart. [Moonbats used environmental law] as a club, and used it to blackmail people — and they did a good job of that.
That's what environmental law tends to be for. The primary objective isn't to save polar bears from their imaginary threats, but to cripple the capitalist system by any means possible, the better to usher in socialism.
