The Rule of the Green Czar By Kathy Shaidle FrontPageMagazine.com | Friday, January 16, 2009
Carol Browner, Barack Obama’s nominee for energy-environment “czar,” didn’t preside over the pardons of terrorists in the 1990s; she doesn’t owe thousands in back taxes; and she isn’t mired in an ongoing investigation. She is, however, a card-carrying socialist who used public office for political pressure and was accused of presiding over a department that treated intelligent African-Americans as “uppity.”
Until recently, Browner, whose official title will be “Assistant to the President for Energy and Climate Change,” was a “commissioner” of the Socialist International, the umbrella group for 170 “social democratic, socialist and labor parties” in 55 countries Specifically, she worked with the Commission for a Sustainable World Society. In the grand Soviet tradition of the “disappearing Commissar,” her biographical profile was deleted from the Socialist International’s website shortly after her appointment, but not before critics had a chance to scrutinize the group’s extreme, anti-capitalist agenda.
“Socialist International is precisely what it sounds like,” Steven Milloy explained on FoxNews.com. Milloy noted that the group “favors the nationalization of industry, is skeptical of the benefits of economic growth and wants to establish a more ‘equitable international economic order.’” The last phrase is inevitably a codeword for redistribution of wealth on a global scale. (See William R. Hawkins' related piece, “Obama's Environmental Agenda: Made in China.”) Thus, the Socialist International’s “organizing document” blames capitalism for “devastating crises and mass unemployment” alongside “imperialist expansion and colonial exploitation.” Similarly, Socialist International’s Commission for a Sustainable World Society, the organization’s action arm on climate change Browner worked on, “says the developed world must reduce consumption and commit to binding and punitive limits on greenhouse gas emissions.”

Stupid Americans wished for change. Reminds me of an old Chinese proverb about wishing for things.
“Stupid Americans wished for change. Reminds me of an old Chinese proverb about wishing for things.”
Yep, and in reference to another old Chinese proverb, interesting times are upon us.
The ‘change’ to Mediocrity!
What else do you think they expecting?
“I’d dare say that socialism is just fine with those who supported Barry O. What else do you think they expecting?”
I know...it is just breaking my heart that we have come to this...
Mine too, but it is what it is.
