Remember the good old days—when dissent was patriotic? Fuggedaboutit. Dissent isn't merely unpatriotic now. It's downright treasonous. Just ask Paul Krugman.

If, like virtually all House Republicans and a handful of Dems, you don't agree with the likes of Henry Waxman on the need to take radical measures on the climate, you're guilty of . . . "a form of treason." Treason against the planet, to be precise.

That was Krugman's formulation in his New York Times column of today, Betraying The Planet.

Krugman has obviously drunk deep from the carafe of Al Gore Kool-Aid, writing:

Don’t like cap and trade? Krugman says you’re a traitor. Ping to Today show list.

[Mygirlsmom]

A traitor? Whew!!!! I thought I was a terrorist! :o)

[PGalt]

And that small-fill-in-the-blank bearded bean-counter POS is no economist.

[governsleastgovernsbest]

Yeah, that too ;-)

Kruggie the Klown doesn’t seem to know that there’s a reason clowns seldom speak.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychological_projection

Psychological projection (or projection bias) is when a person’s personal attributes, thoughts, and/or emotions are ascribed onto another person or people. A modern view of projections is that they are prerequisites for normal social functioning. A person who is incapable of ascribing his/hers own feelings on other people would have great difficulties in understanding them. This may happen in Aspergers Syndrome.

In classical psychology projection is always seen as a defense mechanism which occurs when a person’s own unacceptable or threatening feelings are repressed and then attributed to someone else.[1]

Preserving a future for our kids and grandkids, in which they are free..........if that is treason, sign me up.

Paul Crudman, ace journalist, works for the well-balanced, highly successful business model known as the New York Times.

I think the word he’s looking for is heresy (this is his religion after all).

[savedbygrace]

Krugman is a monolith, a very short one.

(Here’s hoping I don’t have to explain that one.)

[BigSkyFreeper]

Hey Krugman?  Bite me you Marxist dirtbag.

[SERE_DOC]

<-living proof, just because you have an advanced degree does not equal smart.

[Pikachu_Dad]

and B.O. just signed that order allowing ‘traitors’ to be held indefinitely.

Welcome to the new world.

[VeniVidiVici]

Krugman’s guilty of posing as an economist. What a twerp.

Paul Crudman, ace journalist ass, works for the well-balanced, highly successful business model known as the New York Times.

Hard to tell. If he’s as invested in carbon credits as the other major players, then he’s very smart indeed, and soon to be very wealthy.

Treason against the planet, to be precise.

Who died and made the planet the King, anyway?
