They’re almost laughable – socialists and global warmists

First on the Socialists – an observation from El Rushbo:

Let me give you an interesting observation on William F. Buckley. It’s a quote, but it’s more an observation. Buckley pointed out that in the ’30s we were told we had to “collectivize the nation,” i.e., big government. Go socialist. We had to collectivize the nation because the people were so poor, and now we’re told that we have to collectivize because the people are so rich — and he’s right.

Back in the thirties, FDR, all the boys? “Oh, yeah, we got way too many poor people! We need to go socialism so that we can raise standards of living.” Today why are we doing it? “‘Cause we got too many rich people, and they’re stealing everybody’s everything, and we gotta take it from ’em.” I think it’s a great observation.

And from the Globull Warmists?

They first started off with “global warming” and that the whole world had to be made to modify its behavior to “save us all” – I think Prince Charles’s declaration of doom is (like Obama’s campaign promises) has expired.  When ClimateGate hit, they switched their meme to “climate change” (as if the world had never experienced such ever before) and wailed that the threat was even worse and the demands that in order to save our freedoms, they had to to be taken from us by the Rule of the Experts (shades of George Bush) who were all too ready to decide how we were to live.  Now are onto the next scare phrase of “extreme weather” because their warming models were as close to matching actual temperatures as I am in sounding like Pavaratti (not a freaking chance!).

In each case, the laughable part is that they just can’t be truthful about what their end goal really is.  They constantly must change what their language is, redefine commonly known words, and present their arguments from different viewpoints – all in the chance to reel you in, and make you a useful idiot to their end game.

Politics and climate – both are used for one and only one reason.  These people believe that for “the common good” we individuals MUST live according to their ideas and ideology.  There CANNOT be a choice made based on individual needs, wants, or thoughts and there is no ability to opt-out.  They aren’t satisfied to collectively gather together and live their lives according to their notions and then persuade the rest of us to join.  That would be, well, allowing the rest of us a choice.

Laughable now turns to scary – they have no problem in co-opting our Government, originally founded to protect individual freedom, to protect the “good of the collective”.  Just like in Soviet Russia, or East Germany, or Latvia, Estonia, Lithuainia, or Bulgaria, or Viet Name, or North Korea.  For collectivists, they do not learn from history and their FORWARD! is only a return to sad state of humanity when Kings and courtiers had serfs.

Come to think of it, does Obama think of us as….
