It’s Wednesday, April 30th, 2014…and here’s The Gouge!

First up, courtesy of NRO, it’s today’s Cover Story, and the great Victor Davis Hanson’s description of the…

Elites’ Sacrificial Victims

When your goal is to save the planet, you can’t worry about who may get hurt. 

 

obamas policies are like sacrificing children to molech_

Why do our well-meaning elites so often worry about humanity in the abstract rather than the real effects of their cosmic ideologies on the majority? 

…In a word, liberal ideology so often proves more important than people. Noble theories about saving humanity offer exemption from worry about the immediate consequences for individual humans. In a personal sense, those who embrace progressive ideas expect to be excused from the ramifications of their schemes.

Case in point:

U.S. Electricity Prices May Be Going Up for Good

Experts warn of a growing fragility as coal-fired plants are shut down, nuclear power is reduced and consumers switch to renewable energy.

 

San Onofre nuclear power plant

…There is a growing fragility in the U.S. electricity system, experts warn, the result of the shutdown of coal-fired plants, reductions in nuclear power, a shift to more expensive renewable energy and natural gas pipeline constraints. The result is likely to be future price shocks. And they may not be temporary.

“May not”?  How ’bout certain as death and taxes!  But remember (if you’ll forgive our grammar!), true to the tradition of Limousine Liberal hypocrisy, the sacrifices are to come from thee

Sacrifices

not from he!  It’s why Progressives can feel good about themselves while passing the costs associated with their Pollyanish policies, both fiscal and physical, onto others.

Which brings us to the question posed in our latest poll: who is the greatest mass murderer in history?  The good Chairman Mao (White House confidante Anita Dunn’s favorite philosopher!) was responsible for the deaths, via outright execution and/or deliberate starvation, of some 77 million of his countrymen, easily surpassing the combined total of his two nearest rivals, Joseph Stalin (50M) and Adolf Hitler (20M).

Now no one…outside of Progressive apologists…would ever claim Mao and Stalin were acting for the betterment of anyone but themselves; and not even Progressives, while more than willing to employ many of Hitler’s less lethal methods for controlling the masses, can confuse his intent.

Which brings us back to Liberals and their policies-over-people approach.  The extra-legal, constitutional contortions required by the SCOTUS to detect an emanation from a penumbra around the Fourteenth Amendment (a right apparently completely unknown to its drafters), all, of course, with the best of Liberal intent, directly resulted in the pre-meditated murder of 57,000,000 unborn infants in the United States since 1973.

But even America’s abortion advocates can’t match the death toll run up by Rachel Carson.  Silent Spring, Carson’s moving yet wholly-inaccurate tome which birthed the Environazi movement and the worship of Creation over the Creator, led to the banning of the DDT.  In an eerie preview of the junk-science used to justify the Environazis anthropogenic global warming hysteria, the use of Dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane was deemed hazardous to just about everything on the planet.  What it actually did, and this remarkably well, was eradicate anopheles mosquitos and other disease-carrying insects.  Both TLJ and we recall running behind the trucks spraying the DDT in our neighborhoods growing up; which is why the U.S. is virtually malaria-free.

And though Carson’s claims DDT caused thinning bird eggs or cancer in humans have proved about as accurate as Michael Mann’s infamous hockey-stick graph, the truth comes too late for the 96 million human in the Third World sacrificed so Liberals could sleep well at night.

Since we’re on the subject of those who know what’s best for you, we’ve noticed The Obamao’s sounding more and more Communist everyday:

Obama decries ‘thugs’ in Ukraine, Russian ‘provocation’

 

obamao

What’s he gonna decry next; their fascist hooliganism?!?

Next up, in the “We Hate It When We’re Right” segment, we knew it was coming; we just didn’t know how soon:

Left’s Push for Adult-Child Sex

 

pedophile-gay-rights-revised1

….To be sure, not all homosexuals are pedophiles. Yet a grossly disproportionate number of them are. I don’t write this to be insensitive, “hateful,” intolerant or “homophobic.” It’s “just the facts, Ma’am.”

Consider, for instance, a study published in the left-leaning Archives of Sexual Behavior of over 200 convicted pedophiles and pederasts. It found that “86 percent of offenders against males described themselves as homosexual or bisexual.” This demonstrates, as notes Peter Sprigg of the Family Research Council, that “homosexual or bisexual men are approximately 10 times more likely to molest children than heterosexual men.”

This makes perfect sense when coupled with another 2001 study in the same peer-reviewed publication. It found that nearly half of all “gay”-identified men who participated in research were molested by a homosexual pedophile as boys: “46 percent of homosexual men and 22 percent of homosexual women reported having been molested by a person of the same gender. This contrasts to only 7 percent of heterosexual men and 1 percent of heterosexual women reporting having been molested by a person of the same gender.”

The connection between homosexual abuse and “gay identity” is undeniable…

As is the true nature and goals of the “gay agenda”; and it has nothing whatsoever to do with gays, let alone equal rights.

In another example of Liberal insanity…

UN Elects Iran to Women’s Rights Commisison

Iran’s election comes just a week after one of its senior clerics declared that women who wear revealing clothing are to blame for earthquakes, a statement that created an international uproar — but little affected their bid to become an international arbiter of women’s rights. “Many women who do not dress modestly … lead young men astray, corrupt their chastity and spread adultery in society, which (consequently) increases earthquakes,” said the respected cleric, Hojatoleslam Kazem Sedighi.

Keep in mind, these are the guys B. Hussein has asked to pray for him!

Then again, given his latest polling numbers…

ObamaCare Less Popular

After celebrating the eight millionth enrollee, the President records his lowest-ever rating in the ABC/Washington Post poll.
