1 People, 1 World, 1 Government
Chinless-wonder Al Gore, better known to all and sundry as the creator of the internet (until he defeats the environment, anyway), is at it again.
Having successfully driven off audiences in the US through his slobbering fixation with the mirage of climate change, Gore is increasingly venturing abroad to spread the wisdom of his rantings.
On this particular occasion, he was in Oxford (UK) at the Smith School World Forum on Enterprise and the Environment, where he stated that (regarding “climate change”),
“... it is the awareness itself that will drive the change and one of the ways it will drive the change is through global governance and global agreements.”
If this weren’t so scary, it would be funny. In fact, I’m going to leave the funny to S.Weasel over at her site (and it is an awesome site), while I concentrate on the scary.
Climate change legislation is a fig leaf for global absolutism. The Left desires for it to be the issue upon which the foundation of global governance is built, in the same way in which the supranational European Union was originally constructed around the coal & steel sector in 1951.
In their fantasy world, “global governance” is the ultimate panacea. One people, one world, one government! All our problems will be solved through harmonious international cooperation!
Which begs the question: how can Lefties believe this? Removing politics from the national to the supranational level will only p*ss people off even more. Accountability will nosedive while corruption skyrockets. If you think that the crooks in power are bad enough now, then just wait ’til they’re joined by a host of “leaders” from countries that make our decrepit democracies look like shining cities of gold.
Global governance has long been an explicitly left-wing objective. This is nothing more than a modern update on an old theme. Karl Marx maintained that nationalism was an artificial division, that it was class – and not the nation-state – of which people should be aware. He propounded transnational alliances of the proletariat that disregarded national constraints, as later put into such spectacular and disastrous effect by Stalin, in order to realize his dream of a classless global society (i.e. where everyone is equally poor and miserable).
This rationale remains essentially unchanged, as Barry and the Democrats, through their fervor for “justice” and “fairness”, seek to finish what Marx started.

..you are too kind, said the fawning left coaster. But, honestly, Weezl’s site is a hoot and it is easy to see where you get your magnificent humor from. Also, if it’s all the same, I prefer to be addressed by my formal title: Under-Assistant West Coast Promo Man:
“Yeah, I’m sharp
I’m really, really sharp
I sure do earn my pay
Sitting on the beach every day, yeah
I’m real real sharp, yes I am
I got a Corvette and a seersucker suit
Yes I have”
If it weren’t so sad — this living under the yoke of the Alleged Hawaiian and his coterie of sycophants — it would be (and is) hilarious. I don’t know which I enjoy more, the stupidity of the elected officials, which you skewer so wonderfully on this site, or the stupidity of the mouth-breathign electorate that put these doofii in office.
But wait! Weezl’s a female woman type? Wow! Double-wow!

Under-Assistant West Coast Promo Man,
Uhuh, Weasel is indeed a she – judging by the amount of cuss-words and constant talk of booze, I was sure it was a guy, too.
But no. Weasel, according to her site, went to a bloggers’ convention in secret and accidentally outed herself.

..triple-wow; I am still staggering at the pure, unadorned Python-esque humor that permeates that site. Her Sphinctre morph was stunning, the piece on the “BJs..on the beach” still has me reeling, and her dissection of Obama’s stilted and affected signature was a tour de force.
Your site, hers, and the Barking Moonbat site have a heavy British influence and attendant humor that adds a different perspective to political commentary.
I mean, a steady diet Powerline Blog or Hugh Hewitt (Hew Hughitt?) would irreparably damage one’s humor and turn one into — horrors — a dry, dessicated political wonk. But that’s what comes of hanging out with attorneys.
