Recent comments by one of our blogging friends were indicative of the vision that enviro types have for America. Her thought was that high gas prices would force people to drive lessmaybe abandon their cars all togetheryou know, that back to nature stuff. My thought is that only a handful of these dreaming greenies could actually abide that kind of living, we see them occasionally living in the trees. The problem with these romantic, self-
interested notions, however, is that driving less, changing the types of cars we drive, conserving, recycling, discovering alternate fuels, etc. will never be enough. Progressives always demand more. They are dedicated for life to the revolution. The revolution is about change and hope. Change and hope, successfully sold to the people, ultimately brings absolute control. An example of this progressive approach is apparent in this bit of news from Norwaycoming soon to the USA?
In its latest drive to curb the use of cars, Norway’s government is considering forcing shopping centers to charge customers for parking in the centers’ lots or garages. The goal, according to a report prepared by the state environmental ministry, is to discourage customers from using their cars for shopping trips. ** Norway already taxes new cars to the tune of more than 100 percent, charges high annual vehicle registration fees and imposes fuel taxes that are among the highest in Europe – Nina Berglund, Aftenposten (Norway)
Dont expect the progressive U.S. Congress to cooperate in saving our economy, our jobs, and our businessesour standard of living!!! They won’t be happy even when we’re forced to wash our “one shirt” by pounding it on a rockgrowing a few veggies for sustenance…and going to bed at sundown.
Taking the appropriate steps to ensure sufficient oil supplies at reasonable which is critical for our prosperity and survival is not on their agenda. Approaching the problems we face with reasonable solutions implemented for smooth transition is not their style. They see only their visions of a totally green America. Besides, they are too busy punishing, blaming, litigating, and investigating conservatives as they fight for power and control.
