Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Colonel Bernie
Sanders (I-VT) believes climate change poses such a grave risk to the planet
that we must do all we can to prevent people from being born. Especially people
in “poor
countries.” Sen. B.S. suggested that U.S. taxpayers should be tapped to
help fund birth control and abortions for women in some developing nations, to
help stave off global warming.
Sen. Sanders obviously believes
there is just enough of him, but way, way too many of everyone else.
He made the eugenicist-like remarks
during CNN’s recent-- and virtually interminable-- “Climate Crisis Town Hall,”
in which he appeared with assorted other Democratic presidential
hopefuls/asshats. He added, “women in the United States of America, by the way,
have a right to control their own bodies and make reproductive decisions.” This
is pablum of the first order, nothing more than mental masturbation for
“progressives.” No one—male or female-- has the right to do whatever they want
with their own bodies, if that behavior could possibly harm others. Or
themselves. None of us has the right to drive drunk or club baby seals over the
head. Minors don’t even have the right to buy a pack of smokes at the local
convenience store. (Though an underaged girl can get an abortion without
telling her parents). I can’t hit a person who pisses me off. You can’t legally
depress the gas pedal in your car and make it propel you at speeds above the
limit. In some places, one person can’t even call a man a man if that man
prefers to be called a woman. Progressives don’t even want us to have the right
to defend ourselves.
Yet, incredibly, Sanders’ plan to
alleviate global warming wasn’t even the craziest of the past week. A Swedish
behavioral scientist named Magnus Söderlund, professor of marketing and
strategy at the Stockholm School of Economics, spoke in favor of
cannibalism at the “Gastro Summit,” a symposium on food choices and
availability vis-à-vis a climate apocalypse. Söderlund’s talk was titled “Can
you imagine eating human flesh?” The esteemed professor lobbied for the
breakdown of taboos against the desecration of human corpses and consumption
of other people’s flesh. Call me a skeptic, but this seems to me a
difficult marketing strategy to execute. Moreover, though I am well
versed in economic theory, I’m not sure I want to know where these supply and
demand curves meet.
I’m okay with “save a horse, ride a
cowboy.”
“Save the planet, eat your
neighbor?” Not so much.
