People’s World, a progressive rag, lays out the progressive mindset, one that makes Obama’s behavior completely understandable.
Progressives Today (a conservative site that tracks progressive idiocy)-
“Significant segments of our movement celebrate a “green new deal,” that will create an economic boom and new jobs while greening our economy. This is dangerous self-deception. Everyone needs living-wage jobs, but if the additional millions of job-holders produce more products and consume as the typical living-wage worker and their families do today, we’ll collectively emit even more carbon and make the problem worse.
Therefore we mustcouple the new green jobs with significantly reduced hours and substantially increased wages/salaries for all workers, including professionals. These workers and their families must spend their increased funds and free time in a manner that does not produce more greenhouse gases. This complex of interactions won’t work without careful planning and re-education. We’ll make no progress if we create more consumers taking part in the throw-away society.
Progressive environmental activists are also reluctant to talk about population. We believe in sharing the world’s resources more equitably, but don’t calculate what that means as the global population approaches eight billion. The issue of population control has racist roots and a history of unequal practice. In addition, five hundred million relatively affluent North American and Western European whites produce 80 percent of the world’s greenhouse gas emissions, while billions of people of color in the third world have tiny carbon footprints. While masses of people living in poverty are not responsible for global warming, increasing their level of consumption to that enjoyed in the “developed world” will have a profoundly negative impact on the world’s carbon footprint.”
The money quote.
Just like in Cambodia, Eastern Europe, Zimbabwe, China, North Korea, etc. But no ‘tard will admit to that.
Apropos Sultan Knish post, the only likely way to replace the decadent/progressive ruling elite is to cut its head off in the town square. Madam Guillotine should be put back to work. Preferably before they begin rounding up us (a la Lenin and Pol Pot).
I think your average white, scratch that, conservative has identified some sort of conspiracy. But at least in my case I’ve, for the most part, always figured I was over reacting. That stopped about 6 months ago. Now I want to meet the bastards in the street. They fucked up. I’m still armed. I know, I’m a little slow.
Conservatives and Capitalists represent their biggest threat since we think! Thinking is not allowed by the Left. Bill Ayers said that 25 million die-hard Capitalists must be eliminated and the rest be put into re-education camps. This is simply but one of many excuses to achieve that goal! Create a “crisis” then solve it by eliminating those who disagree. It’s what Commies do and have always done!
Pure communism, and the destruction of private property rights. What did you think Obama meant when six years ago he said we couldn’t drive SUVs, or set our thermostat at the temperature we want to. Why the hell not? I pay my gas and electric bill myself, I don’t live in section 8 housing.
My commie professors were spouting that crap back in the 80s. “America is 6% of the worlds population but we consume 45% of the resources”. But we PRODUCE 50% of the worlds goods and wealth. Or used to. What do the bush people in Africa produce? Famine,poverty and war.
Its going to get worse folks. Communists always live in big houses and drive big SUVs. They just want to be the ones to decide who to send the re-education camps. Or burn us alive on our farms. There’s a reason Robert Mugabe is Susan Rice’s hero. Google holodomor.
Interesting that he doesn’t count China, the world number one polluter, as being responsible for any “global warming”. They’re building coal fired power plants all over
I’ve have a simple rule. The first time anyone I know starts blathering anti-white bilge, I cut them out of my life complete, this includes family members, because there is nothing more worthless and stupid than a white person working for the cause of white genocide.
I want $15/hr to hold my breath for 6 hours, the other 2 hours from an 8 hour day will be devoted to bottling my farts, while holding my breath. I should be allowed to sleep the remaining 16 hours at a steady 55 bpm pulse while breathing into a balloon that I will later compress into my green automobile with kelp tires.

Just wait the 2015 Congress is going to impeach his ass on day one.
In the fetid, damaged, deluded brain of a Lefty, this makes sense:
“Why not just pay everybody like two thousand dollars an hour, so 40 people can share a job, and we’ll all be rich and have zero unemployment. The, there won’t be any crime, no homeless and everyone will get along.”
This bullshit “green economy” is about the same. They expect everyone to come home from their 10-hour a week job, till their garden by hand and shuck corn until dark, whereupon they go to bed.
Sound familiar? We had a “green economy” before the industrial revolution. Y’all can go back to 1780, you stupid morons, but I’m staying here.
Of course, the Elites and Beautiful People will still fly in their G-7s and ride in their 3-mph armored, stretch limos.
Hey Liberal Types,
We, whiteys are the ones who design the systems.
We use weights and standards, and maintenance schedules
Get rid of us and you will be cold, hungry, and without electricity.
Pretty much what it was like before we invented civilization.
This explains an awful lot. Here’s the bio of the author:
Robert Meeropol is the younger son of Ethel and Julius Rosenberg. He is the founder and past executive director of the Rosenberg Fund for Children. For over 40 years he has been a progressive activist, author and public speaker.
“Progressive” my ass – straight up socialist.
