Is the Green Party like a Water melon? Green on the Outside, Red inside?

The Archbishop of Sydney, Cardinal George Pell, warned Catholic voters on the weekend to be wary of the Greens, describing them as "sweet camouflaged poison".

Cardinal Pell's weekend newspaper column slammed the Greens' so-called Stalinist roots.

He said the Greens were anti-Christian and opposed to the notion of family.

"One wing of the Greens are like watermelons - green outside and red inside - a number were Stalinist supporting Soviet oppression," he said.

"We all accept the necessity of a healthy environment but Green policies are impractical and expensive which will not help the poor.

"For those who value our present way of life, the Greens are sweet camouflaged poison."

This is in Australia during a Federal election, but the general idea seems quite fitting for the Green parties world-wide. What do you think?

Update:

Mother Hubbard - I sure hope you are being ironic and parodying Green beliefs! I's hate for anyone in the 21st Century to seriously think "Capitalists" are the enemy of the "People".

I thought we let the Communists kill enough Millions of people last Century to prove once and for all time that Socialists are the enemy of the People, and real people are Capitalists at heart.

    Yes, and the party is now old enough that the core is rotten.

    Greens talk environment but then often do completely ridiculouus things financially when in power - they strong armed Germany's Schroeder into agreeing to "shut down" all nuclear power plants in Germany.

    A completely ridiculous thing to try, and of course it didn't work and ended up costing billions of dollars to play catch up.

    Sure, green is the same as red,- environmentalists and commies

    are always discredited by the same business interests.

    The enemies of the people are capitalists,

    the enemies of the land are capitalists.

    Thanx for helping clarify.
