They are, in a word, blockheads.
Take Roanoke Times columnist Dan Casey for instance (please).
In his latest exercise in byte-waste (see "There's no good future in unsustainable practices"), he goes after the Roanoke Tea Party.
Why?
Because the Roanoke Tea Party - as a collective - sees no good in Roanoke County's participation (at an annual cost of $1200?) in a bosomy international kumbaya society that goes by the acronym ICLEI.
So why is the Tea Party wrong for opposing ICLEI?
Here's Casey's reasoning:
ICLEI is for "sustainability." ► ► ► The Tea Party opposes ICLEI. ► ► ► Therefore the Tea Party opposes sustainability. ► ► ► Therefore the Tea Party stands for "unsustainability." ► ► ► And who is for unsustainability?
What?
How do you even argue that?
Who would even want to?
You'd be better off arguing with a potted plant.

It's a religion just like voting Democrat Party of Death no matter who's the nominee. They're beyond reason. Same folks believe in the Climate Change religion. I'm convinced they'd vote for Adolf Hitler if he was running as a Democrat and promised to lower the sea level with hopey change.... a fair share....Oh, wait.....
The problem is that the folks opposing ICLEI have also gone after local governments for zoning, and planning, and recycling at landfills, etc, etc - in other words, all very legitimate functions and purposes (often mandated) of local government.

They probably have gone after zoning due to the new future land use designations they are adopting in Counties across the Country. These new eco-socialist friendly land use designations would and or replace zoning designations that have been on the books for about 4 decades or longer. Instead of R1, R2, C1 and C2 zoning designations you'll have Rural Village and Rural Preserve, and Village Center designations. You would not believe what these new designations nudge the citizenry who live in those new designations to adhere to. So, yah,they are going after overreaching new land use (zoning) designations.
