The European Union's new figurehead believes that climate change is a dangerous myth and has compared the union to a Communist state.

The views of President Vaclav Klaus of the Czech Republic, 67, have left the government of Mirek Topolanek, his bitter opponent, determined to keep him as far away as possible from the EU presidency, which it took over from France yesterday.

When the EU President says that GoreBull Warming is the greatest crisis facing the world, he is “The President of the EU”. However, when he says that GoreBull Warming is a hoax, he is “the EU figurehead”. Imagine that.

Please note the presidency of EU is a “figurehead.”

Bet you can’t find any recent articles referring to this position as “figurehead.”

Could this have anything to do with his being against “Global Warming”?

Naaaaaah....

Yep, and the rest of the article says that it is a symbolic post. But it wasn’t ‘symbolic’ when Sarkozy took over!

Bah!

Notice he also likened the EU to a communist state! A true symbolic figurhead. What else could he poke them with?

“Obama’s going to be a disaster?”

What would they demote him to then?

What do you expect when the masses feel that the high priest is not respecting mother earth!!

In Europe the environment has replaced going to church (seriously the only people you see in church are the tourists) and if you don't hew the glow bull warming party line well then expect to be shouted down, or worse, for committing heresy.

The left is going to do everything it can to destroy Vaclav Klaus. The doctrine of global warming is central to the idolatry of modern Marxism.

Vaclav Klaus recognises communism when he see it.

And he sees it draped in “Climate Change”
