Vaclav Klaus' Wake-up Call on "Global Warming" Religion

The Goracle was up on Capitol Hill today, bleating on about the "global warming" crisis that he dreamed up after his embittering loss (thank God) of the presidency. He called it a "planetary emergency." Just like the heating bills for his and ambulance-chaser Edwards' utility bills, no doubt. What a snake oil salesman this pompous ass has turned out to be.

Meanwhile, back in the Czech Republic, one courageous politician, at least, has the common sense to tell it like it is:

PRAGUE – Czech President Vaclav Klaus said on Wednesday that fighting global warming has turned into a "religion" that replaced the ideology of communism and threatens to clip basic freedoms.... "Communism has been replaced by the threat of an ambitious environmentalism," Klaus wrote in response to questions from the U.S. House of Representatives' Committee on Energy and Commerce.

President Klaus has it exactly right, and we can't improve on his assessment of the environmentaloids and their High Priest. They remind him too much of his former oppressors, and he obviously knows party-inspired agitprop when he sees it.

"Global warming," which is in fact, a provably cyclical phenomenon, is the latest scare-scheme by America's socialists in their unrelenting attack upon our earning power and freedom. Like the tobacco lawsuits, whose alleged aim was "health" but whose real aim was to direct an income spigot from tobacco companies directly to the pockets of politicians, "global warming" will allow the Democrats (America's Socialist Party) to save us from ourselves yet again by extracting an even larger percentage of our income and discretionary cash.

Ultimately, when everyone's tax rate is 50% or higher, we'll all end up just like the Europeans that Democrats, academics, and phony intellectuals everywhere profess to admire: living on the dole, unemployed, docile, and drunk, and lacking any ambition at all. President Klaus clearly has no interest in this. Neither does HazZzMat.
