Looking to the Progressive Horizon

I am often amazed at how out of touch I am with the alternate reality that appears to permeate American society. Nothing drives this point home however more than the socialism packaged in the "green" mantra; especially as it concerns global warming. This "impending disaster" is the socialist ideolog's dream; an impending global catastrophe that can only be thwarted by the sacrifice of power and wealth to the global elites by the masses.  These elites, incidentally, happen to find themselves in the position of being the only ones with sufficient intellectual fortitude to save the planet from the ravages inflicted upon it by these same masses attempting to achieve a standard of living beyond what those same elites think is best.

However like Saddam Hussein's Republican Guard, those who hold this global hoax to still be the Gospel according to Algore are in retreat to their safe reality-free zones in pristine and posh locations such as university campuses, Hollywood, CNN, and the DNC. But with the planet now beginning its normal cooling cycle attempts to rename warming to Climate Change ring hollow in the ears of those who remember the not so distant past. Reality is making the would-be world savers look a little like Baghdad Bob, who's ridiculous proclamations of victory while the reality beyond the studio was the Republican Guard in flight.  This made him, and the world-savers, look all the more loony.

I believe that those who make it their business to create--from thin air--problems that only they can fix,  are probably already developing their next catastrophic scare-scheme. With this in mind I have conceived of four attributes that will most likely provide the framework for that scheme.


1. The scheme must involve the creation of a new evil that has never before existed. And the blame for that evil must be placed on the backs of man… no, make that productive man.

2. This new evil must be of such a huge scale that “leaders” the world over will need to meet in posh and beautiful locations to pool their more than ample mental muscle in order-out of their compassion-to save the intellectually inferior from our self imposed impending doom.

3. The evil must be of an extremely high and specialized technical nature; impossible for anyone to understand except world leaders and highly trained scientist who are open-minded enough to grasp the necessity that many must suffer through wealth confiscation in order to ward off sure global disaster. This will ensure that detractors can be dismissed out of hand as being restrained by some primitive closed-minded ideology; or as simply lacking the required intellectual capacity required to grasp such an extremely complex problem.

4.The evil must be solvable by socialistic legislation and the handing over of power and wealth to the compassionate few who have the rare qualities of both, the mental fortitude, and the self-sacrificing nature one would expect to find in a socialist leader bent on saving the world from the parasite that is common man who bears the shame of eking out an existence and striving to better his lot.
