Vultures on an Olympian Perch

It's a good thing for the planet that you lost your job

The great and powerful elites at The New York Times bring us this editorial in which they celebrate the economic hardship that the left has brought about with their anti-drilling, anti-development energy policy. The editors at the Times think it is a good thing that you are losing your job if you are a worker for one of the big auto makers. They are glad that you are out of work because the cost of gas is getting so high that Americans have stopped buying the cars that you used to make. They are happy that you are suffering. They want it to continue and get even worse. The reason for their indifference to your plight is their belief in the global warming hoax combined with their unrestricted lust for power over the "little people." That would, of course, be you.

It’s hard to convince most Americans that there is a silver lining to $4-a-gallon gasoline. But General Motors provided a nugget of good news when it announced that it would shutter much of its production of pickups and sport utility vehicles — and might even get rid of the Hummer, the relative of the Abrams tank unleashed on the streets in the cheap-gas days of the 1990s.

And what would a New York Times editorial be without a call for a new punishing tax to make things even worse? Yes a new tax on gas to make the price even higher is just the thing we need according to the editors at the Times. Then we would all care so much more for endangered mosquitoes in ANWAR. So just remember the next time you hear some Democrat media elite or politician spouting that they are the party of the "little guy," that you don't count in that equation if you are standing in the way of their vast utopian scheme to rebuild the world along the lines that they have drawn. And remember that those lines are drawn with your blood, sweat and tears, not theirs.
