Environmentalism, Globalism, Climate Alarmism, Socialism, Communism & Fascism: "isms" might ought to be the next four-letter word :)

OK, so I'll try not to turn my blog into a political debate, but I was reading my favorite magazine of all time, RANGE, and thought these quotes were too good not to share.  You can read a lot of the articles online at their web site.

"America's new mission in which it increasingly sees itself as the protector and provider of every citizen in the world is a self-destructive endeavor that, if continued, will not only complete the transformation of our great republic to a global empire but will lead to national bankruptcy and the loss of our cherished liberties"

--Michael E Telzrow, The New American, March 17, 2008 ***to read the rest of this article, click here.

"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary."
--H. L. Mencken, American author and humorist 1880-1965

"Make the lie big, make it simple, keep saying it, and eventually they will believe it." -- Adolph Hitler 1889-1945

"In the past 150 years (at least since Marx), the socialists have been very effectively destroying human freedom under humane and compassionate slogans, such as caring for man, ensuring social equality, and fostering social welfare. The environmentalists are doing the same under equally noble-minded slogans, expressing concern about nature more than about people (recall their radical motto 'Earth first'). In both cases, the slogans have been (and still are) just a smokescreen. In both cases, the movements were (and are) completely about power, about the hegemony of the 'chosen ones' (as they see themselves) over the rest of us, about the imposition of the only correct worldview (their own), about the remodeling of the world." (link to this article)

--Vaclav Klaus: President of the Czech Republic


"Vaclav Klaus, President of the Czech Republic, who survived the communist system and now leads a country that emerged from the dissolution of the Soviet empire, is warning of a new form of communism threatening human freedom and progress.

Like former President Ronald Reagan, who developed his under-standing of the communist menace by fighting the communists in Hollywood, Klaus suffered under them during the communist era in Czechoslovakia. Because of this experience, however, he came to understand how Soviet-style communism, which collapsed as an empire and created the circumstances for the emergence of the Czech Republic as a free and independent nation, never really died as an ideology and that it has imitators in the West.

His book, Blue Planet in Green Shackles, published by the Competitive Enterprise Institute, charges that the movement to "save" the environment has been taken over by ideologues who favor total government control over our lives. He says it can be considered a form of communism, socialism or even fascism. Whatever you call it, the result will be the extinction of human freedom." --Tuesday, June 10, 2008, "Environmentalism as the New Face of Communism", By Cliff Kincaid, Accuracy in Media "Once government gets its hands on new power, it is never relinquished."

--Henry Lamb, chairman of Sovereignty International

(By the way...both presidential candidates promote the "isms"...wish I could vote for Klaus) Tracey said...

Looks like a great book. I will have to put it on my list to read. You and Spence should come down for our constitution group. I think you would like it. Troy and I have been looking into the Presidential candidate for the constitution party. We've liked everything Chuck Baldwin has said.

I'm thinking about moving to the Czeck Republic! I'm so glad you posted that stuff. I always have political griping that I'm tempted to voice on my blog and I never do it. But I think it's important to let the world know that we're not all jumping on the green band wagon. Look for a political brain dumping on my blog soon:)

Also, I just realized that I spelled Czech wrong--they really need to let you edit your comments:)
 HoneyGirl said...

I totally agree about the editing...a spell checker would be nice too. Or should I say also???
 Steph & the Boyz said...

Well put--I couldn't agree more! I believe we need to be good stewards of our bodies and our world--as they are gifts we shouldn't abuse. But God gave us natural resources to bless our lives!
