An Open Letter to the President

Dear Mr. President:

My apologies for missing your commencement address at the University of California at Irvine on June 14, honoring the 50th anniversary of one of our fine academic institutions. Meetings with my constituents just seemed more pressing, and, of course, we can meet back in Washington whenever it's convenient for you.

In any case, between fundraisers and enjoying the "Zot! Zot! Zot!" chants of the graduating Anteaters, the questions I have raised about your "green" agenda clearly were on your mind. You evidently determined that ridiculing those, like me, who question your "settled" science would be the best way to make your case.

To the laughing grads, you said: "And today's Congress is full of folks who stubbornly and automatically reject the scientific evidence about climate change. They will tell you it is a hoax, or a fad. There was one member of Congress who mentioned a theory involving ‘dinosaur flatulence' - which I won't get into."

Mr. President, we both know I have referred to the theory of man-made global warming as a "hoax," and, yes, I once used the phrase "dinosaur flatulence" as lighthearted ridicule at what I considered to be climate alarmism.

What I have learned is never to underestimate humorless zealots, especially those cloaked in the pretensions of "science." One of the traits of a fanatic is the willingness to conduct personal attacks, to limit debate, to use questionable facts and to seek government to impose policy on others.

Sir, my congressional colleagues and I cannot ignore costs when making decisions. Simply put, no matter how apocalyptic the theory behind it, we cannot make this crony-capitalist concoction of yours into a policy priority.

There are many contenders for who is the most evil human being to walk the face of the earth - and there is no doubt that Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov (1870-1924) is among them.

He was born on the Volga River in Russia but he wasn't Russian. His father was an Oirat Mongol, his mother was Jewish-German/Swedish.  He grew up in prosperity with his father as a prominent professor.  He turned radical Marxist in college (Kazan University) becoming the devotee of Georgi Plekhanov ("the Founder of Russian Marxism"), and was exiled to Siberia for three years for subversive activities.

While in Siberia, copying Plekhanov who adopted the revolutionary name "Volgin" after the Volga River, he invented his own revolutionary name after Siberia's Lena River:  Lenin.

As the great Austrian economist Ludwig Von Mises explained, his understanding of business was that of a filing clerk. A filing clerk soon to become a ruthlessly fascist tyrant.  And today in America, we have our very own Lenin in the White House.

A miracle took place on Capitol Hill yesterday, July 31, 2008.  Democrats and Republicans in the House united on a vote of 419-1 to explicitly and in itemized detail condemn the Chicom government of China.

The single lone Congressman to vote No was Ron Paul (R-TX) - demonstrating once again that his total incapacity to defend America against its foreign enemies is why his presidential campaign failed.

House Resolution 1370 is the most pro-American statement of Congress in modern times.  For it is China that is and will be the greatest national security threat to America for the foreseeable future.  Far more than Islamic crazies running around chanting allahallahallah, and believing that blowing themselves up will somehow force the world back into the 7^th century.

To The Point is thus pleased to provide the full text of H. Res. 1370.  It is an astounding compendium of Chicom perfidy.

New York Times columnist Paul Krugman has come up with an exciting new theory as to why the world's economies are still proving reluctant to bomb themselves back to the dark ages in order to "combat climate change."

Apparently, it's all the fault of a certain uncompromising Jewish Russian emigree:

Well, think about global warming from the point of view of someone who grew up taking Ayn Rand seriously, believing that the untrammeled pursuit of self-interest is always good and that government is always the problem, never the solution. Along come some scientists declaring that unrestricted pursuit of self-interest will destroy the world, and that government intervention is the only answer.

It doesn't matter how market-friendly you make the proposed intervention; this is a direct challenge to the libertarian worldview. And the natural reaction is denial - angry denial. Read or watch any extended debate over climate policy and you'll be struck by the venom, the sheer rage, of the denialists.

The most destructive, dishonest, and criminally hypocritical people in America today are not Democrat politicians, black race hustlers, Ivy League Marxist professors, or crony/shyster capitalists.

They are the publishers, editors, journalists, and commentators of the Liberal Media:  Associated Press-New York Times-WaPo-ABC-NBC-CBS-CNN-MSNBC et al.

We'll abbreviate Big Liberal Media to simply "BM" - appropriately enough for their product is the same as what those initials usually stand for.  One of the more astounding things about BM is that its slavish boot-licking of American Commiecrats is indistinguishable from that of Pravda's or Izvestiya's over Soviet rulers during the Cold War - yet with no gun at their heads nor threat of the Gulag.

Winston Smith, in George Orwell's 1984, ended up genuinely loving Big Brother after his will was broken through torture.  BM loves Big Brother of their own free will.  This is so perverse it's almost anti-human, for it is normally against human nature to willingly be a slave.

A stunningly perfect example of BM perfidy appeared in headlines in newspapers all over the country this past weekend.
