There Is No New Deal
National Review ^ | Feb 13, 2019 | Jonah Goldberg

Posted on 02/14/2019 10:56:34 PM PST by plain talk

In his piece “There Is No Green New Deal,” Charlie writes:

What Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has thrust upon our national conversation is not, in any sense, a “Green New Deal.” It does not resemble a Green New Deal. It does not approximate a Green New Deal. It does not so much as represent the shadows or the framework or the embryo of a Green New Deal. It is, instead, the inchoate shopping list of a political novice who has managed to get herself elected to Congress and believes that this has turned her into a visionary.

Implicit in the idea of experimentation from Washington is the idea that planners should not be constrained. Implicit in the idea of a constitutional republic is that they should be. As we put it in our editorial on the Green New Deal, “The Left really has only one idea: control” — and that is the idea implicit in New Deal–style “experimentation.”

I think his is about as complete a copy as we’ll be able to find.

Yes I agree there is a high possibility if her ideas are not shown for the lunacy they are.

Will they allow my kids (or grandkids depending on the timing) to keep my 67 Camaro as an inoperable museum piece? Or must it be crushed along with all our other carbon fueled cars?

Thanks for the link; I believe it was so absurd the grown-ups in her party quickly told her to take it down. They are afraid they’ll be asked in front of cameras if they support it, and they don’t want to look like loons - but on the other hand, they don’t want to be portrayed as “non-progressive”.

You are right and we must implement the final solution on these socialists.

I hear ya. I agree that’s probably what happened.

I also found this resolution. Don’t know if it’s a draft or what.

See what you think of it.

I think folks are kidding themselves if they don’t think this sort of thing is going to appeal to a great many people.

They’ll want to buy off on all this.

There must be a way to neuter them.

You do know that part of Article IV Section Four of the U. S. Constitution states that the President and Congress "SHALL" (read that are required) to provide the states with a Republican Government.

Here:

The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government, and shall protect each of them against Invasion; and on Application of the Legislature, or of the Executive (when the Legislature cannot be convened) against domestic Violence.

Seems to me that pretty much disqualifies a Socialist State.

Seems to me that domestic violence is also forbidden, so that rioters and Leftist disrupters (sp?) could be addressed.

Thanks for the link; goes right into the racial stuff!

The unassimilated minorities in the permanent underclass are basically looking for a paid lifetime vacation with all the perks that will pass constitutional muster...

Legalizing affirmative action basically confirmed for them tat their own government views them as genetically inferior; most have given up trying.

Yeah, and it just lays out blame for everything on the planet to the United States.

These people hate this nation with a passion.

The “Green New Deal” is a reference to covetous people green with envy...

Sure - especially when you see headlines like this:

“Ocasio-Cortez Slams The ‘Racial Injustice’ Of The Cannabis Business As White Men Profit”

Unassimilated minorities have become a hot potato for whom the welfare state bribes have become insufficient; businesses and productive people are constantly migrating further from established urban areas to escape their wrath and outstretched palms. I couldn’t imagine why even with the tax incentives offered, Amazon could have expected to be painted as rich white devils exploiting people of color. Cuomo is furious because it is all exposed now.

Yes, that headline was too stupid for words.

Yes, Cuomo isn’t a happy camper right now, and neither is the mayor or New York.

So true. As I understand it, they won’t do as well as forecast because the legal stuff will cost so much people will stay with the underground pot product. Unlike alcohol, which requires all kinds of machinery to produce, pot just needs soil and sun. Better quality requires more, but people in my area seem content with “skunk weed”...
