Greenies Too Extreme for Venezuelan Regime




Venezuela has long been a favorite destination for libtards.  Hollywood actors basked in the glow of authoritarians like Hugo Chavez and his successor.  There is nothing like the smell of a dictator that sets a moon bat aflutter.

Recently, a group of greenies held a conference in that socialist paradise.  A declaration was created to rid the world of capitalism, which the host country whole heartedly agreed with.

A UN-backed conference in Venezuela has ended with a declaration to scrap carbon markets and reject the green economy.
The Margarita Declaration was issued at the end of a four-day meeting of around 130 green activist groups, which the Venezuelan government hosted in order to raise the volume of civil society demands in UN discussions on climate change.
“The structural causes of climate change are linked to the current capitalist hegemonic system,” the final declaration said. “To combat climate change it is necessary to change the system.”
The declaration will be handed to environment ministers when they meet ahead of the UN’s main round of talks in Lima this year.
The meeting, called the Social Pre-COP, is the first time that civil society has been invited to participate with the UN at this scale at international climate talks.

A little problem happened on the road to utopia.  The greenies turned on their fellow travelers.  It seems these activists are too extreme for the Venezuelan government.

Maria de Pilar GarcĂ­a-Guadilla, a professor at the Simon Bolivar University in Venezuela, said that there was an underlying assumption in the declaration that capitalism was the cause of climate change – a position maintained by the Venezuelan government in its own development plan – but that this was a “fallacy”.
“Venezuela relies heavily on the use of hydrocarbons, or the extractive economies, to support their anti-neoliberal socialist policies. The extractive economy has a severe negative social and environmental impacts in the indigenous communities and in the most biodiverse areas,” she said.


You just can’t ask a totalitarian government to give up its one source of revenue.  How are they going to feed, clothe and house all those teat squawkers?  Utopia isn’t as easy as these greenies think.

Constitutional Atty Frets Over Presidential Power Grab




The aforementioned attorney believes the federal courts are the solution to curb Obama's lawlessness.  I disagree.  The courts are part of the problem and have been for almost a century.  Hadn't it been for Chief Justice Roberts rewriting the law, we wouldn't be in this Obamacare mess.

California State Senator Threatens Lowe's for Not Sponsoring Muslim T.V. Show




Its one thing for citizens to boycott a company because of a political or economic stance they have made; it’s quite another to have a state or federal lawmaker threaten, or introduce sanctions. A thuggish California state senator has just done that to Lowe’s.

Mia Farrow and Russell Simmons have called for a boycott of Lowe's on Twitter, with Simmons promising to "sic every civil rights agency on (Lowe's) until they straighten this out." He is also urging his Twitter followers to sign a petition -- which, as of 3:25 ET Monday, had 9,660 of the 10,000 signatures the creators of the petition are hoping for -- to urge other companies to advertise during "All-American Muslim."

Meanwhile, California’s state Sen. Ted Lieu called the Lowe's ad pull "stunning bigotry."

Lieu posted on his website a copy of a letter he wrote to Lowe's CEO Robert Niblock, calling for the company to apologize for its ad pull or face possible "legislative remedies."


"Lowe's action is bigoted, shameful, and un-American," Lieu wrote. "I call on Lowe's to rescind its action and apologize to Americans who are Muslim. If Lowe's continues its religious bigotry, I will encourage boycotts of Lowe's and look into legislative remedies."


What is un-American is having a state senator bulling a company, because they refuse to sponsor a television show. What kind of fascist mentality is that? Is it any wonder that California is the armpit of the country when they have authoritarians like Sen. Lieu running the show?
