‘Green New Deal’ Excludes LGBTQ Americans
Breitbart ^ | 9 Feb 2019 | Joel E. Pollack

The “Green New Deal” introduced by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) last Thursday dwells on the plight of various oppressed groups, but somehow fails to mention lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) Americans. The “Green New Deal” legislation asserts that

climate change, pollution, and environmental destruction have exacerbated systemic racial, regional, social, environmental, and economic injustices (referred to in this preamble as ‘‘systemic injustices’’) by disproportionately affecting indigenous peoples, communities of color, migrant communities, deindustrialized commu- nities, depopulated rural communities, the poor, low-income workers, women, the elderly, the unhoused, people with disabilities, and youth (referred to in this preamble as ‘‘frontline and vulnerable communities’’);

It also declares that one of its goals is

to promote justice and equity by stopping current, preventing future, and repairing historic oppression of indigenous peoples, communities of color, migrant communities, deindustrialized communities, depopulated rural communities, the poor, low-income workers, women, the elderly, the unhoused, people with disabilities, and youth (referred to in this resolution as ‘‘frontline and vulnerable communities’’);

However, among all the various groups mentioned, Ocasio-Cortez and the Green New Deal somehow omitted the LGBT community.

Breitbart News noted the omission in its first report on the Green New Deal: “(Note: the legislation fails to mention — even once — the historic oppression of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer communities. This is a homophobic and transphobic document.)”

Hey, SkyDancer.  Good to see you playing with a nickname for AOC.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is AbsolutelyOutrageouslyCrazy

I'm the guy who first posted Occasional Cortex, a meme that took off, but is now being eclipsed by AOC.  Even still, Occasional Cortex has life in it.  It's no longer novel on Free Republic, but elsewhere people are still hearing it for the first time.  rlmorel just told me Glen Beck recently used it in his broadcast.

When I saw the name Ocasio, I thought of Occasional pretty fast, then it was simply a matter of finding a word you could pair with it.

One site I'm using to find rhyming words is RhymeZone.com

Another site I found just now is morewords.com.

https://www.morewords.com/wordsbylength/6c/

The last letters instruct the webpage to search for what you want.  The above finds all 6-letter words that begin with "c".  Try it.

Other memes that I think work are:

All Out Crazy
All Out Coocoo
All Out Commie
All Obtuse Chick (need a substitute for "obtuse")
Also _____ Chick
Anal _____ Commie
Ask ______ _______
Ace ______ _______
Acting ____ Commie
Airhead ______ Commie
Always Obnoxious Chick
Always Odious Chick

Free Republic is the place to originate political nicknames.

I'm gonna ask V K Lee, Liz, and rlmorel for their ideas.  They have an eye for slogans and memes.

She introed the "Green Dream" in the AM.......but by Feb. 7 afternoon, the Democrat removed the thing from her website
without explanation....following backlash and even ridicule over the G/D's radical plans including a call to
"eliminate emissions from cows or air travel" — and to provide “economic security for those unable or 'unwilling' to work."

‘I WAS LAUGHING SO HARD I NEARLY CRIED’:
WSJ’S KIMBERLEY STRASSEL CAN’T GET OVER GREEN NEW DEAL

The Wall Street Journal’s Kimberley Strassel was not impressed by the rollout of the proposed Green New Deal — in fact, she argued that “if a bunch of GOPers plotted to forge a fake Democratic bill showing how bonkers the party is, they could not have done a better job.”

As Democrats rolled out the resolution, the commentary and criticisms rolled out as well. Strassel was firmly and decidedly in the camp of the latter.

"By the end of the Green New Deal resolution (and accompanying fact sheet) I was laughing so hard I nearly cried. If a bunch of GOPers plotted to forge a fake Democratic bill showing how bonkers the party is, they could not have done a better job. It is beautiful."

Strassel followed her initial tweet with a series of key points to illustrate her initial assessment. The facilities, solar panels, and turbines required to deliver “renewable electricity” on the scale described in the GND would take up more space than the entire state of California.......500k square km. Also note, govt (taxpayers) will pay for these—not private sector.

My final nickname of the night. I won’t pester you anymore.

Amateur Obnoxious Commie.

These three words describe what ails AOC

Amateur — She’s a bartender who never held a management job or knows a thing about economics.

Obnoxious — She’s a loud mouth. She knows nothing, but is constantly spouting her nonsense.

Commie — Her Utopian plans were tried in the 20th century and caused 60 million murders.

The point of this nonsense is that it is to punish whites for causing global warming which in turn harms everyone but them. This theme started years ago when non-whites who had pushed for independence around the globe found themselves deteriorating as failed states with no money left; black countries in particular in Africa and the Caribbean started this BS that they were suffering today with climate change so white people owed them.

On a national scale, this is a desperate grab for money from a rapidly dwindling, retreating white population before it is gone.

That's because they'll be the new green nutrition source. We have to replace cows somehow.

The reason they aren’t mentioned is because the Green New Deal happens in a future where the Socialists are in power.

Climate change is just another angle at worldwide reparations.

Well it is socialist at its heart. Thats where the socialists all went, to the green movement.
