To relieve the monotony of their mostly
rigid socialist/fascist ideology, “progressives” vary in their
opinions and statements depending on their jobs and, of course,
personalities. There seems to be a range of ideas, for instance,
about the deadly hurricanes the U.S. is currently experiencing.
Jennifer Lawrence, beautiful, talented, and quite likable actress has
come up with the profound statement that the hurricanes are a
punishment (Mother Nature's wrath) for electing Trump. That must have
required some deep thinking.
Show-biz people often use the platforms
they've earned as entertainers to make proclamations about serious
subjects, sometimes well, as in PSAs for hunger relief. Often, these
days, not so well, as lashing out against President Trump and any and
every thing having to do with him or his associates. For example,
[momentarily off the topic of hurricanes] George Clooney was showing
his own obnoxiousness by calling Steve Bannon a “failed f***ing
screenwriter,” with further obscene comments about him. Way to go,
George, diminishing yourself and your industry in the minds of decent
people. But Hollywood isn't big on decency these days. Would that
have anything to do with the decline of the movie business?
Leftist commentators keep looking for
something in Trump's disaster response to criticize, as they did, mercilessly and unfairly, to
George W. Bush when Katrina struck. So far, the governments' response
seems to be going about as well as could be expected.
The perceived link of the hurricanes to
“climate change” is, of course, irresistible to the leftists.
Their thought leaders will milk every possible drop out of this
disaster. Their followers will go along. But the sad
truth, inconveniently, is that mankind is not responsible for
anything significant to do with the climate. And mankind can do
nothing to change it. It's enough to just clean up the pollution from
the environment, which has been a pretty successful effort, and must
be ongoing.
Climate change is seen as a cash cow to
governments who want to use it as an excuse to raise taxes, issue
onerous laws and regulations, which would impoverish the citizens and
enrich the top politicians and their cronies (Solyndra on steroids).
It would do nothing positive to affect the climate. If you really
want to do something positive about the environment, focus on
preventing nuclear, chemical, and biological war. The climate-change
agenda is a rat-hole not worthy of pouring good money into. But the
elites would appreciate it.
Speaking of whom, the reptilian
(metaphorically) globalist leaders would use climate change (See
Agenda 21) as the excuse for confiscating money and property, and
eliminating freedoms, while achieving nothing for the environment or
anything else. These people include, but are not limited to, the
Clintons, Barack Obama, George Soros, and other Alynski-ites with
Orwellian plans.
In fact, the experience of witnessing
people helping people in the hurricane flooding brings, to some, a
renewed sense of unity, and faith in the human spirit. But to the
progressives, everything's political, right down to Melania Trump's
shoes. Her critics merely show their own bullying personalities and
vindictive natures. As do virtually all the left's leaders and
spokespeople these days in their frenzied hate campaign against
President Donald Trump.
But occasionally, their comments, such
as some by Rep. Maxine Waters, can be useful as comic relief.
