I have liberal friends and relatives who were frightened, frightened, by George W. Bush. Something about a “Republican war on science.” Then Sarah Palin came on the scene. Then my liberal friends got really scared. All I heard them talk about was how scary she was. The same people who were losing sleep because George W. Bush was president were losing more sleep for fear that Sarah Palin would soon be one elderly president’s heartbeat from the Oval Office.
What’s to be frightened of? Oh yeah, she’s a quick-witted conservative woman who refused to abort her Down Syndrome baby and who reached her position in life without hanging on the coattails of a man. In other words, Sarah Palin’s a liberal’s (and feminist’s) worst nightmare.
Bottom line is that there is nothing frightening about Sarah Palin. She represents the best of America, and that’s why the left needed to destroy her and her family any way they could.
But this post isn’t about Sarah Palin. It’s about people who are truly frightening. Someone, for instance, who believes humans should be eliminated because you’re a threat to the planet.
Someone who believes he should be able regulate how many children you have “for the sake of the planet”—even to the point of forcing you against your will to have an abortion.
Someone who believes inanimate objects like trees should have the right to sue you in court if some ambulance-chasing enviro-wacko lawyer thinks you’ve violated their civil rights.
Someone who is so disdainful of American progress and technology that in the 1970’s he helped promote the hoax that humans were causing another Ice Age. Of course, now that same person is promoting the hoax that humans are causing global warming.
Who is this truly frightening individual? That would be John Holdren, personally hand-picked by President Hope&Change as science czar.
The Zomblog posts some background on Holdren, including a 1971 book which he edited in which he co-wrote an essay pushing the man-made Ice Age hoax and making the case for population control.
John Holdren in 1971: “New ice age” likely
Wed, Sep 16, 2009In 1971, John Holdren edited and contributed an essay to a book entitled Global Ecology: Readings Toward a Rational Strategy for Man. He wrote (along with colleague Paul Ehrlich) the book’s sixth chapter, called “Overpopulation and the Potential for Ecocide.” (Click here to view a photograph of the table of contents, showing Holdren’s essay on pages 64-78; click on the image to the left to view the cover.) In their chapter, Holdren and Ehrlich speculate about various environmental catastrophes, and on pages 76 and 77 Holdren the climate scientist speaks about the probable likelihood of a “new ice age” caused by human activity (air pollution, dust from farming, jet exhaust, desertification, etc.).
Below is a direct scan from pages 76-77 in the book Global Ecology, with an exact transcription on the right.
(Following this section, scroll down to see the extended passage from which this quote was taken, with more context and more discussion.)
John Holdren is now not only the “Science Czar” for the United States, but he’s also one of the original leaders of the “alarmist” wing of the Global Warming debate — and he now promotes the notion that the current climate data points to a looming planetary overheating catastrophe of unimaginable dimensions. (He helped make the charts and graphs for Al Gore’s film An Inconvenient Truth, for example.)
Just the title of that book—Global Ecology: Readings Toward a Rational Strategy for Man—should make people shiver. It screams, “We, the enlightened ones, shall decide who lives and who dies.” Liberals are frightened of Sarah Palin because she’s staunchly and unapologetically pro-life? Fine. I’m frightened of John Holdren because he’s staunchly and unapologetically pro-death. And he’s been outwardly so for decades.
The American people, whether I am happy about it or not, got to reject Sarah Palin at the ballot box. But there is no such a power check John Holdren. He works at the pleasure of the president, who clearly has no problem with Holdren’s radical anti-human pro-“environment” ideology.
Funny, several months into the predictably disastrous Obama presidency, I have yet to hear a single liberal friend or relative express fright at any of this and other truly scary characters occupying the Obama czardom. Are any of you out there?
But remember: There’s a Republican war on science.
