You're right. Pol Pot is old news. Long forgotten by Americans.

But the basic fact of environmental do-gooders sentencing millions to die horrible malarial deaths should be picked up by the Republicans this season and fed into the campaign. I think it's hugely relevant.

The RATS are working from the assumption that all environmental regulations are divine and all rollbacks of environmental regulations are evil.

Time to set the record straight. Starting with --- for lack of a better phrase: the case of The Environmental Pol Pots.

[Wilhelm Tell]

Pol Pot and the radical environmentalists have a similar philosophy. Pol Pot wanted to ban all learning, all science, all technology (except for the technology required for his death squads), and have people live as subsistence farmers in some huge collective. He wanted to force people to return to the stone age, and he didn't care how many people died in the process.

The radical environmentalists want the same things -- to return humanity to the stone age. These people are in revolt against 5,000 years of civilization. There is a certain mentality that does not know how to create, so instead it craves destruction for destruction's sake. In their world, 99% of people will live in prehistoric misery while the ruling class will live in luxury -- they will live in palaces and jet all over the world to environmental conferences and plan which group of humans is "overpopulated" and needs to be exterminated.
