Radical In Disguise
IBD Editorials ^ | January 12, 2009

Politics: Is anyone surprised that the would-be czarina of federal climate and energy policy has ties to a socialist group? The environmental movement's goal is to afflict the economy, not comfort the ecology.


Carol Browner, who'll run the new White House office of climate and energy policies, isn't new to Washington. The public will recognize her name from the years she served as Environmental Protection Agency administrator under Bill Clinton.

The public, however, knows little or nothing about her work with Socialist International, a group that describes itself as a worldwide organization of social democratic, socialist and labor parties that envisions a "new, democratic world society" and typically takes anti-U.S. positions.

Within its declaration of principles there are clear signs it's comfortable with using the authority of the state to establish a global socialist regime.

Equally as telling are its member groups, including Nicaragua's Sandinista National Liberation Front, Democratic Socialists of America, and socialist and labor parties from dozens of nations.

Browner was linked to Socialist International through her leadership post on the group's Commission for a Sustainable World Society. The Washington Times reports Browner was also listed as an individual member of Socialist International.

I’m sure Hatch and McCain will be quite pleased with this pick also.

Unfortunately, the “public” doesn’t care. They don’t even know who the hell Obama is but they put him in the White House anyway.

Second biggest threat to our country are the environmentalists.

Evidence of Browner's association with Socialist International has been largely scrubbed from the group's Web site. Someone in the incoming administration — Browner herself? — must have felt it wouldn't be wise for people to know about it.

Newsbusters had this little tid-bit of information a few days ago along with the google cach evidence of her being listed as #4 on the leadership list. http://newsbusters.org/blogs/noel-sheppard/2009/01/08/obamas-proposed-energy-czar-

Nice attempt at the Commiecrats . . . but like Cindy Sheehan found out once you put somethinig on the web it stays there.
