And the 2018 Person of the Year Is…

Yes, I know what you're thinking - aren't these posts supposed to be written in advance and published at the end of the year so that writers can take some time off and still provide some content? To which I respond, you are absolutely right! But 2018 was by far the busiest year of my life, and this subject was just too good to let pass. Last week The Daily Wire's Paul Bois alerted us to this gem: New York Times Praises Radical Environmentalist Who Killed Himself To Save Earth

Earlier this year, radical environmentalist David Buckel demonstrated his love for planet Earth by lighting himself on fire in Brooklyn's Prospect Park in order to set an example in the fight against climate change. In a suicide note, the 60-year-old gay rights activist said his use of fossil fuels to immolate himself was to make a point about what humans are already doing to themselves.

"Most humans on the planet now breathe air made unhealthy by fossil fuels, and many die early deaths as a result," Buckel wrote in his note. "My early death by fossil fuel reflects what we are doing to ourselves. Honorable purpose in life invites honorable purpose in death."

Bois gives a good rundown on the NYT's beautification of a weak minded person who submitted to a death cult, but that's not what makes Buckel our 2018 Person of the Year. I often give Lefties flak for talking a big game but not walking the walk - well, that is exactly what Buckel did!

Lefties, most of whom seem to believe in this bizarre death cult that has spent the last 30 years telling us that the end of the world is coming in 5 to 10 years, also claim to think that this bizarre faith equates "science". I've often asked how raising taxes that will disproportionally hurt the world's poorest people and transferring those funds to well fed bureaucrats somehow grants the government the power to control the weather. For some reason I never get much of an answer - in fact, members of this cult always get really agitated when I ask about this basic tenet of their faith.

Another part of this doomsday cult's canon is that if all mankind activity were to be halted the weather would cease to change. Odd, considering a cult many of them also dabbled in had a core belief praising "Hope and Change". Nonetheless, they all refuse to cease any of their carbon-based energy consuming habits, such as heating their homes, traveling in cars, eating food raised or transported using those evil fossil fuels, etc. Not Buckel! He is a true role model in reducing his carbon footprint and decided to lead by example!

As an example, I hope. Maybe this will catch on and obozo voters (I use the term on purpose) will follow suit.

You think just because he’s dead he’ll quit voting? How quaint.

I stand corrected. Didn't think it all the way through.
