The Republican Elites Have Finally Turned on the Rubes They've Swindled for Decades

11. Well, should we then announce that our far left reminds me of Barry Goldwater?

All hat and no horse?

I consider myself a "centrist Democrat," and I assure you that I regard anyone trying to associate me with Republicanism and being rather smug, and not in a particularly flattering way.

Frankly, I find many of the ideas on the far left of my party to be unfortunate to the point of being dangerous, particularly where energy is concerned. The failure of the rote leftist idea that so called "renewable energy" is either desirable or sustainable is writ large in the carbon dioxide signature of the atmosphere, and I note, with great sadness an unfortunate scheme being born on the backs of the poor at the behest of the well off bourgeoisie. I'm sure that was not the intent, but it is the result. I think our left in this party holds a too exalted view of itself.

Seven million people died last year from air pollution, and the two trillion bucks we just sank into so called "renewable energy" didn't do a damned thing to start it.

This of course, is merely one example of a case where ideology in itself, and for itself, has resulted in tragedy.
