Ocasio-Cortez Sees Global Warming As A Way To Push ‘Social And Racial Justice’ Policies
dailycaller.com ^ | 12/5/2018 | Michael Bastasch

Democratic Congresswoman-elect Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York said the “Green New Deal” plan she supports would be used to achieve liberal “economic, social and racial justice” goals along with fighting global warming.

“[W]e can use the transition to 100 percent energy as the vehicle to truly deliver and establish economic, social and racial justice in the United States of America,” Ocasio-Cortez said at a Tuesday panel discussion alongside Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders and environmental activist Bill McKibben.

The soon-to-be New York representative has spent her time in Washington, D.C. promoting a “Green New Deal” to transition the U.S. to 100 percent green energy. Ocasio-Cortez even joined protesters occupying House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi’s office in support of the plan.

So apparently she’s just really slow and not altogether stupid. Mostly stupid but with a few brain cells wandering around in there. It’s probably like a few ants in Yankee stadium.

At least she’s catching up with the corruption now so she too can be part of the collusion to rip off people in the name of glo-bullshit warming.

Right now I can’t decide if she’s more dangerous to America in general or to the dem party because she says the dumbest things which reflects on all of them and she’s exposing the soft underbelly of dem corruption.

“[W]e can use the transition to 100 percent energy as the vehicle to truly deliver and establish economic, social and racial justice in the United States of America,”

Now THAT is a fine, high, idealistic and altruistic goal, all right.

I am reminded of how the Underpants Gnomes from South Park, who claimed to be business experts, explained their three phase business plan:

Gnomes’ three-phase business plan
Phase 1: Collect underpants
Phase 2: ?
Phase 3: Profit

No logical explanation is ever given for Phase 2.

The transition is pretty much an enigma.

Yeah. She doesn’t even realize she is letting the cat out of the bag. Admits they want to FORCE SJW policies by rule of law and the power of the gun.

Somebody should read the Kyoto Treaty to her. She might find out that her plan was already tried.

The best part about this new order of things, vis-a-vis individualism vs. statism, is the statists are now being overt about it. In the past it was always couched behind some altruistic greater good, but now they no longer feel the need to mask it - it's all out in the open.

This makes it easier for our side to beat, one would think.

Ocasio-Cortez is speaking the truth - the progressive agenda - she's not holding back like the rest of the progressive liars.

Global Warming's a horse progressives think they can ride to their totalitarian dream state. Ocasio-Cortez spilled the beans... we've been warned.

They tell us that consent is sexy and consent is mandatory but they don't care one bit about seeking the consent of the governed.

Now hold on there just a minute.

Obama was pushing swamp algae as a fuel.

Algae is green isn't it?

You know,I was thinking that earlier-——she’s a leftist exposing the hypocrisy of D.C.,as is Trump.

I especially liked her saying that she will be paying MUCH LESS for medical coverage in the House as she was when she was a waitress.

Baby Bug Eyes doesn't feel anything at all about blowing other peoples money on bourgeois pleasures and owning expensive properties and living in grand style while the faithful fight for the scraps. It's all in the name of ‘’social justice’’. They're important ya know. This is the bright vanguard of the Young Pioneers and modern day Red Guard. So they're entitled. Seriously, this comunista punta isn't funny or cute anymore. Cortez and her crowd are serious. Antifa did what their Nazi progenitors did. They all put on suits and ties and designer haute couture from the glittering house's a fashion in NYC('cuz nothin' sez being down with the struggle like wearing $1,500 LeBoudins shoes, know what Im sayin'?) and got elected. This little bitch needs to be ended

She is unintelligent...she is uniformed...she is an avowed socialist. Three strikes, I’d say. What a pathetic loser.

Uh, maxine waters. Just sayin’. Her voters in NYC will get to support her for the next 40 or 50 years if she plays it right.

Nothing new there. Marxists and progressives always need a perpetual crisis to advance their agenda. “War is the health of the State,” as one progressive wrote. Well, there is little war today, and unprecedented prosperity, so they had to invent a crisis.. “Climate change” is it, and it serves as an original sin of capitalism as a bonus.
