Right On Cue

What more can the writer of a blog ask for? Just hours after I write a post where I stated...

...we now live in an age where a scientific elite is demanding the suspension of democratic rule because the stakes are supposedly too high to be left to the vagaries of the ballot box....


Enter Dr. James Hansen:

November's election made it quite clear that the people of the United States do not want to radically change our society in the name of global warming. Pretty much every close House race went to the Republicans, while the Democrats won all the Senate squeakers. The difference? The House on June 26, 2009, passed a bill limiting carbon-dioxide emissions and getting into just about every aspect of our lives. The Senate did nothing of the sort.

The nation's most prominent publicly funded climatologist is officially angry about this, blaming democracy and citing the Chinese government as the "best hope" to save the world from global warming. He also wants an economic boycott of the U.S. sufficient to bend us to China's will.

So, if given a choice between the political will of the American people and communism, Dr. Hansen chooses communism.

Is it OK to question the patriotism of someone who wishes to destroy democratic rule and eviscerate the political history of the country? (As if I need to ask.)
