It’s the Leftist way - the label is the thing.
They declared AGW real, so the fact that they lied about the science can’t matter, because they already declared AGW real. So therefore the lying scientists didn’t lie, because they can’t lie about something that has already been labeled real.
Henry Waxman is calling three CEOs to answer to his committee because they calculated HCR will cost them money. He is OPENLY admitting that since HCR has been labeled as saving money, the CEOs must be lying - by definition. And he’s delusional enough to think he can defy their actual accounting numbers, which simply address a direct tax, in open committee. And why? Because the tax has been labeled a savings by the government, that’s why.
Collectivism requires group insanity to work, because sane people talk about facts that undermine the group lies. So how do they attack this enemy of the group? By labelling them that way - nothing else is necessary.
Waxman would have liked Mussolini.
