How long have I been telling you that this who global warming scam was basically an anti-capitalist campaign? I'll answer that for you. Years.

When global socialism collapsed in the late 1980s and the Communist Soviet Union failed the world was filled with desperate socialists and anti-capitalists looking for a new base of operations. They found this new base in the environmental movement. They saw environmentalism as a way to attack capitalism rather than a way to act responsibly for cleaner air and water and reasonable environmental regulations. So environmental movements suddenly became flooded with rejected socialists and communists happy to find a moral base upon which to build their case against free enterprise. The founder of Greenpeace once remarked of his surprise at suddenly finding his headquarters populated by people wearing Mao hats and berets with cute little red stars.

Enter Barack Obama. We made quite the big deal of Obama's self-professed intrigue with socialism and communism during the campaign. It didn't seem to matter to the voters all that much. Maybe you'll give that a second thought now that Obama has made his choice for a global warming czar --- and in this case "czar" is exactly the right word.

Her name is Carol Browner, and she was the EPA head under Clinton. More evidence, if you're looking for it, that this will be the third Clinton term. Since leaving the White House eight years ago became one of the leaders of a socialist group called the "Commission for a Sustainable World Society." Browner's name and bio was featured on the web page for Socialist International. It mysteriously disappeared last week. They did forget to remove a picture of her making a speech to the Socialist International World Congress last June ... along with such luminaries as the speaker of the Russian Legislatures upper chamber, the vice minister of the International Department of the Chinese Communist Party's Central Committee, and a former minister of employment and social affairs of the Spanish Socialist Worker's Worker's Party.

Browner's confirmation does not need to be approved by the Senate.

So now we have someone who seems to be strongly connected to the socialist movement running our global warming response. Nice.
