Home Front: Culture Wars
American Thinker: Olympia Snowe, Stealth Culture Warrior
2006-12-11
Excerpt:
"On the global warming front, Senator Snowe co-chairs an international climate change group created by two left wing think tanks backed by Mr. Soros. Through the group Senator Snowe has worked to repudiate President Bush's market based approach in favor of heavy handed regulation to ration energy and raise energy prices- in other words, more green nanny state and less economic freedom and growth. Senator Snowe has been unwilling to honestly answer two basic questions: How much global warming will her policies avert (none) and at what cost (1-3% of GDP)? The lack of honesty, the attacks on freedom and Mr. Soros' involvement suggest that climate change policy is a battlefront in the culture war."

#3  The good news is that if the best the Kyoto crowd can do is get Olympia Snowe as their front man, they're doomed.

The sun wouldn't rise in the east if self-important fools like her were put in charge of the matter.

#2  The unfortunate truth about a select group of "Republicans" in the northeast is that they are not conservative at all, but holdovers of the blue-blood country-club Yankee busybody crowd - and their acolytes - that predates Prohibition. These are the "Republicans" who do not detest leftists for their social policy but rather envy them for being able to get "credit" for carrying it out.

While they often times nominally support free-market causes, they almost universally are cultural Marxists. Sadly, Snow has now even given up on the free market and has crossed to the dark side. Association with Soros is a sure sign of that.

If you've spent any time amongst Northeast Republicans, you'll find that while the rank and file are staunchly conservative/libertarian, the leadership tends to be a lot more like Snow.

well, duh!!

Only a blithering moonbat would not concede that even if global warming is caused and can be tempered by human involvement ( which I do not believe that it is or can be ) the solution is anathema to a free society and would be far worse than the disease: socialist and confiscatory regulation of a market economy.
