You know things are going terribly wrong when the New York Times decides to reach for ratings by swinging the blade of President Obama’s infamous campaign trail budget scalpel right at at the throats of the administration.
In a “scoop” piece posted the other day, it leaked a report about the advertising campaign underway to change public perceptions of global warming and therefore gain public acceptance of the administration’s wish to further enslave, then drown the country in its idiotic tax scheme of cap & trade. The alleged research upon which the summary report is based is being done by an organization called “ecoAmerica” (among ecoAmerica’s advisors is Wes Boyd, from MoveOn.org, which speaks volumes about their credibility and real intent). Here is a snippet of its published statement of purpose. Pay close attention to the italicized words:
Our biggest environmental challenge is global warming.
Al Gore labels it a “planetary emergency” and won
an Oscar and a Nobel Prize for getting the word out.
Magazines, movies, corporations, NGO’s, universities
and state governments have been sounding the alarm
and taking steps to address the issue.
Yet, Pew’s annual survey on public policy released in
January 2008 reports that global warming declined
from 38% to 35% as a “top priority” for Americans
over the past year. We rank it 20 on a list of 21
priorities. This is not a good sign if you’re working
to accelerate and enhance environmental solutions.
If we want Americans to change their priorities,
we need to change ours. Too often we think of people
primarily as just a step on the way to public policy.
We need to make people themselves a priority.
That’s our mission at ecoAmerica. We work to restore
deep and comprehensive connections between mainstream
Americans and their natural world, and change
their personal and voting behaviors.
I’m all for treading lightly across our Mother Earth, but the only ones who are going to benefit from all of this nonsense are the environmental groups who are utterly dependent upon having some crisis or another as their reason d’etre and donations so they don’t have to get a real job, people like Al Gore, who pollute their way around the world spreading the false gospel of fear, a handful of businesses hand-picked by the administration to handle the logistics of cap & trade, and other countries around the world who will more than happy to take in American manufacturing jobs.
It’s all very sneaky and slimey. But par for the course from our community organizer in chief.
