The socialist state of England appears in a mirror before US. As one commentator´s post proclaimed...to feel proud of one´s country and heritage, one must feel just as proud of its citizens. Alas, I feel no pride in what WTP have managed to teach ours thus far. A bunch of commie losers taken in by every con artist on the planet. Not the sharpest knives in the drawer.

The libs love to play gods.

Public policy informed by unproven at best, fraudulent, worse yet publicly funded fraudulent Science? Dawn breaks over Marblehead?

It was all leftist manipulation and never had anything to do with creating a better world. Leftists are only in it for themselves. They want power, wealth and control over the masses. It is ALL about that--nothing else. The rest of us be damned. The elite in power play "god" and pretend the rest of us are mere chess pieces while they steal all our hard-earned wealth and force us to do their will. If we fight back, they crush us under their thumbs. This is why the last hold-out, the U.S., must be destroyed and disarmed. Leftism is pure evil. It creates slavery and the greatest of inequalities under the guise of just the opposite. It is insidious and must be stopped as all evil should.

"Green" was nothing more than the new Red, a movement to give government totalitarian control over the citizenry under the guise of ´saving the planet´.

Good article. As a follow up I strongly recommend today´s cogent and well-written guest post by Paul Driessen, "The Political Superstorm That Devastated New York" on Anthony Watt´s wattsupwiththat. One of the best critiques of the failure of political planning I´ve read. If you think Sandy was bad, read the article and think again . . .

Quite astounding that this mass hysteria was perpetrated seemingly so easily. It goes to show just how effective propaganda is when these control-freak pompous arses are in power.

They count on the ignorant masses to remain so, thus they´re easily controlled, dominated, made to do even that which goes against self-interest. Reason and logic are banished.

And... This is how we got another four years of the bamboozler, following on the first four.

Oh, and the other factor, an opposition party too weak and all a-flutter to put up much of a fight to get the TRUTH out and stand firm. We do have some in Congress who´ve been fighting a pretty lonely battle, but have managed to hold back the tidal wave of stupid legislation.

Now we need to defund the EPA and defund regulatory powers. Oust Cass Sunstein (where is that nasty little creep? lurking about with all the other czars?).

California under the insanity of Jerry Brown and the Democrats has managed to catch the global warming caboose just as the train went over the cliff.

The normal weather deniers are mumbling something about a falling sky.

Sunstein returned to Harvard in August 2012.

Does this mean the new 1970s Ice Age and the mass die-off in the 1990s are behind us?

"a whole series of collective dreams which turned out to be nightmares" - but I don´t see any waking up yet, not in Europe and definitely not in the US. The majority sighed with relief when Obama´s campaign of media lies succeeded, so one must assume they want the nightmares to continue.
