Nancy Pelosi's Nightmare Scenario - or "Who is John Galt?"

Nancy Pelosi just got back from Greenland where she led a Congressional delegation to investigate climate change.

Pelosi said she hoped Bush would be open to considering a "different way"
in the future. The California Democrat pointed to her delegation's weekend
stop in Greenland, "where we saw firsthand evidence that climate change is a
reality; there is just no denying it."

Oh we agree, climate change is a reality. For instance, I have noted that right around June 21 the weather turns rather warm. It's called "summer." Then around November 1 it starts to get really cool. That's called "winter." Climate change is real. I have been observing this personally myself for some years.

Then Pelosi issues this nonsensical non-sequitur:

"It wasn't caused by the people of Greenland — it was caused by the behavior of the rest of the world," she said.

What a flaming idiot. What a non-sequitur. Man's affect on the environment is so miniscule it cannot be measured. The myth of manmade Global Warming, however, will be the next avenue for leftists to seize control of the American economy.

I'm currently reading "Atlas Shrugged" by Ayn Rand. It's a work of fiction, but in it Rand describes a coalition of incompetents and Washington bureaucrats who scheme to control industry and dole out resources to individuals, companies, areas and industries of the government's choosing. Bureaucrats simply appropriate businesses and production through various schemes, "for the public good." The effect is to cause highly productive entrepreneurs and industrialists to just close shop and give up. Whole industries shut down. Rand's heros, Dagny Taggart and Hank Rearden, call the bureaucrats what they are: looters.

The nightmare scenario that Pelosi now supports is just a real life case, similar to one in "Atlas Shrugged." It will enable global leftism to merely appropriate business and production and transfer resources as they see fit. It will punish the producers and reward the non-producers. It is just another looting scheme.
