Protester in Copenhagen


Watching the hysteria in Copenhagen, coupled with the hysteria in Washington is like watching two trains rushing 100 mph straight at other. Those engaged in the two-ring circus know exactly what they are doing. On the one hand, the Democrats in Congress and the Obama administration are moving full speed ahead to turn America into a big government-run state. In Copenhagen, world bureaucrats are rushing pell-mell to the goal of establishing a one-world government with capitalism a thing of the past-accompanied by America as a superpower the past.

In Washington, the legions marching behind, Obama, Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi know full well that the government is incapable of running 1/6th of the country's gross national product. They know they are multiplying the national debt. They know they are tearing down the private sector brick by brick. They know the public doesn't want this government-run health care plan. They even know they are going to take a massive hit next November in the midterm elections.

They don't care. Socialism is the goal and they are going to get it done one way or another. This is the greatest chance they have ever had, and they are going for broke.

Meanwhile in Denmark, 20,000 government bureaucrats are determined to pass agreements in the next two weeks that will move the world to a one-world government. Not even the Climategate scandal out of the UK can stop them. If anything, the sense of urgency is now greater than ever. They know that the evidence is hemorrhaging that Climate Change is at best open to serious debate and at worst a massive international hoax. They know that a decreasing number of people are buying into this so-called crisis.

They don't care. All they care about are the misguided young brats marching in Copenhagen's streets, getting arrested, breaking windows and crying for "Climate Justice".

Whatever that is.

And of course, America is expected to foot the biggest share of the bill in a massive transfer of wealth from the developed world to the under-developed world. Forget about all the foreign aid we have sent to poor countries for the last several decades. It is not enough. The only thing that the delegates care about is taking more of our wealth. And make no mistake, Obama and Hillary Clinton's State Department are willing to give it to them.

And what is the best we can hope for? Well, in Washington, it apparently will come down to whether this or that so-called moderate Democratic legislator gets a big enough incentive from Reid, Pelosi et al to sell out their vote. It's a delicate balancing act, and one can only hope that the high wire is slippery enough for it all to fall crashing down-without a net.

In Copenhagen, I guess we could hoe that the speeches will last two weeks or the delegates will get tied down in bureaucracy long enough for it all to result in a resolution to meet again -in 100 years.

In the meantime, maybe we can elect some sane people to Congress-including a new president in three years. Then we can set out to get rid of this monstrosity called the United Nations.
