rssAn Apocalypse for the Rest of Us

From the treasure trove of conservative apocalyptic predictions that actually sound pretty good comes this piece today in the neocon magazine, Commentary. The article describes the ideologically driven conditions being placed on General Motors as a result of the government bailout, arguing that “GM will be used to pay off various Democratic interests and constituencies.” And here’s the piece’s doom-and-gloom forecast of things to come:
• The death of SUVs.
• More development resources into hybrid, electric, hydrogen, and other alternative-fuel vehicles.
• More concessions to the UAW and other unions.
• GM changing its tune on a host of issues, such as fuel efficiency standards, tightening emissions, and safety regulations.
Oh, the horror!
Reminds me a bit of an October editorial in The Wall Street Journal that warned of the perils of a potential Democratic super-majority. That piece admonished, “If the U.S. really is entering a period of unchecked left-wing ascendancy, Americans at least ought to understand what they will be getting,” and then went on to list a few of the worst elements of a liberal agenda, including “Medicare for all,” “The green revolution” and “Free speech and voting rights.”
Grab your guns — it’s time to get armed and dangerous!

Re WSJ and “voting rights”: Wow, talk about context! Teh author warned about “national, election-day voter registration.” Talk about a fucking disaster! “Vote thrice for good measure,” says the Limousine Democrat to the impoverished minorities, his gold-buckled jack boots on their collective necks. Where is the infrastructure for avoiding voter fraud? OH WAIT! It's not fraud when the poor do it!!!! Guffaw–bullshit.
And you bring this up in the context of GM why, Mr. Weiner? Clearly because you also support govt taking over private companies to advance a Marxist agenda. Let's dangle entitlment programs in front of the poor to get their votes, nationalize companies in the name of freedom (instead of letting them fail), all while insulated from the unintended consequences of our stupidity by the Beltway.
