The Drum Circle Beats for “AmEriKaN” Climate Change
Townhall.com ^ | September 22, 2014 | John Ransom

Posted on 09/22/2014 4:30:16 AM PDT by Kaslin

Liberal publications around the globe celebrated climate change on Sunday by gushing over a reconvening of the same drum circle that took over Wall Street in the misshaped Occupy movement in 2011—and failed to do anything but offend ordinary Americans.

“More than 400,000 people turned out for the People's Climate March in New York City on Sunday,” says the HuffPo, “just days before many of the world's leaders are expected to debate environmental action at the United Nations climate summit.”

Coincidence? No.

Claiming that the Sunday marchers were part of big tent that represents all of America, the New York Times immediately contradicted itself with this gem of inclusion:

“At Columbus Circle,” said the Times, “there were bare-breasted women and people with dreadlocks and homespun clothing. There were Muslim women wearing hijabs and groups of older women with signs proclaiming they were ‘Grandmas Against Global Warming.’ and that ‘Gray Is Green.’”

Oh, how American!

Yes, and anarchists LOVE apple pie, hot dogs and Chevrolet.

Okay, admittedly anarchists might indeed love the NEW Chevrolet, an anachronistic labor organization that is devolving into anarchy.

Oh, how Occupy!

But getting past that irony, whom can we thank for this weekend’s progressive spectacle that represents “AmEriKa” as THEY would have it?

Obama, that’s who.

After suffering total rejection by Main Street, the same commie organizers who put together Occupy Wall Street to try to win back the legislative initiative for Obama are at it again. After he was spanked at the polls in 2010, a seemingly motley group of people was bused into New York by labor unions, leftist community organizations and special interests to provide the “spontaneous” uprising in support of Obama’s redistribution ideas.

Yeah it failed then. But that’s just more proof that Obama’s White House is at the root of Sunday’s march. When did they ever recognize a losing idea?

They double down on it, and order more buses.

“[M]ore than 550 buses carried in people from around the country!!!" bragged the HuffPo about Sunday’s event.

At $2,000 a day, buses bring you the kind of spontaneity that can only be bought with cold, hard cash. Over a million dollars worth of cash for the buses alone.

You can always tell it’s an Obama event by the buses. They have forced busing down to a science: Occupy, Ferguson, Climate Change, wherever common sense needs to be defeated, in come the buses.

Too bad they couldn’t get troops to Benghazi as efficiently…or to Iraq or Ukraine.

So today, yes, as the world burns and the Democrats look increasingly desperate, out touch and Democraticky, the Organizers are ginning up support for Obama to take action on climate change in conjunction with the United Nations at the next world whatever meant to settle something they call science.

A million dollars in bus fare is just chump change meant to dazzle you with this completely grassroots movement.

But here’s what they really mean:

You need to pay more for energy right now, and you need to surrender your liberties, no questions asked.

It’s our only hope for a new AmEriKa!

And that debate was settled a long time ago.

I saw photos of what the area looked like after the parade. Pretty much looked like the mall in DC after Obama’s first inaugural.

turned out for the People's Climate March

At least they're considerate enough to tell who they really are, in what they call themselves.
"People's" anything = communism.

That’s why I’m always skeptical of the Left, given the known history of Communist excesses (Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot, and now the Kim family in North Korea). Why the Left here in the USA don’t read up on shocking number of people killed by mass shootings, labor camps, forced exile, deliberate famine and misguided economic policies from the people I mentioned is beyond me....

Napalm was invented to efficiently deal with problems like this.

Leftist playbook....

When you fail at the big issues (domestic & foreign), campaign on small issues - i.e. free birth control, free baby killing, free cellphones, free...well, you get the idea.

Liberals have it both ways.

They scream themselves read in the face about how much there us YET to be done for the ‘under-served’ in America, and at the same time, campaign for free admission of all and sundry losers from the entire globe into the US so THEY TOO can enjoy this American utopia of good living.

Well... Which is it?

Someone from PJTV interviewed RFK Jr at this patchouli confab. According to him the Koch Brothers are almost solely responsible for climate-change-global-warming-whatever-it's-called-today. Who knew they were so powerful? The interview can be seen over at Instapundit.

re: A million dollars in bus fare

I wonder if the Federals funded the buses. My guess is yes.
If there was still an independent press in this country, we might find out.

They have. And they want that kind of power for themselves.
