“A new green political movement is growing that see the climate crisis as a revolutionary possibility to create a new world, a new world based on Eco-socialism.
“In September 2001 a meeting regarding socialism and ecology was held outside of Paris in France. Two of the participants, Joel Kovel and Michael Lowy wrote an ecosocialistic manifesto.”

Sept 2001

“Joel Kovel and Michael Lowy presented the Ecosocialist Manifesto in 2001 as a socialist response to the environmental degradation of the planet.
“Among their key points is that environmental problems such as global warming are inextricably linked to imperialism, with its constant invasions of other countries (and inevitable blowback via terrorism.) Its the same amoral grow-or-die ethos, a continual need for more resources, markets, and cheap labor to exploit. A capitalist does it with businesses, an imperialist with armies. They are simply different facets of the same omnivorous system that is not capable of managed growth, yet such limits are precisely what is needed to stop global warming....”
I, for one, am concerned that Governor Schwarzennegar and John McCain have embraced the Global Warming movement and am concerned that the associated anticapitalist socialistic regulatory efforts will follow.
Its hard to believe that an infanticide supporting, Saul Alinsky acolyte, tax raising, gaseous platitude spouting, Fabian Socialist with not one single accomplishment that normally considers one to be worthy of the presidency is even under serious consideration for the presidency, to say nothing of defeating any other legitimate presidential candidate. Maybe we need to find out just how far gone the American electorate really is. We are in a war. Obama and Clinton both support defeat and retreat in Iraq. To provide any support for them for any reason, while it may not legally be treason, it is constructively.
Should Obama or Clinton get a compliant Democrat Congress and Senate, the damage done to this country and to liberty as we have known it,would be incalculable. They are the most dangerous presidential candidates since Henry Wallace. Please check this link. It will tell you all that you need to know.
