“U.N. Thugs! One World Government!” is the new “Socialized Medicine!”

Ever since the 1950s, the Far Right has thwarted government-paid health care by yelling “Socialized Medicine!”  They couldn’t very well come out and say “there’s lots of money to be made from sick people.”  It’s a much better sales pitch if you can scare the gullible with sinister visions of Soviet tanks rolling down Main Street.

More recently, large developers and the fossil fuels industry are using the same tactics to derail everything from bike lanes and mass transit to anti-sprawl “Smart Growth” projects — i.e. new housing being built in urban areas and close to a transportation hub.

Again, they can’t very well come right out say “our profits are more important than conserving energy and reducing traffic gridlock.”  It’s so much easier to get the inbreds all riled up with scary visions of a smothering One World Government engulfing America and destroying her freedom.

Maine’s teatard governor canceled a project which would have eased traffic congestion along the Route 1 corridor.  Too many “grass roots” protesters thought this transportation project was part of a sinister U.N. plot.  Ditto for a high speed rail project in Florida.

Undoubtedly the wicked Globalist schemers are telling each other “OK, we’ll get America all softened up with mass transit projects, and then we’ll move in for the kill.  BWAAAHAAHAAHAA!!!”

The Communist under the bed has morphed into the Black Helicopter hovering near YOU.

UN Agenda 21 is the root of all this rightwing paranoia.  It’s a non-binding resolution passed by the U.N. in 1992.  The resolution is meant to encourage conservation of open space and natural resources.  You know, because of the human species exploding exponentially and devouring and polluting everything in its path.

Again, the key word in the above paragraph is NON-BINDING.  Sorry, wingtards — big word with three syllables.

Needless to say, the Republican Party has adopted a resolution condemning the “destructive and insidious nature of Agenda 21.”

The American Policy Center, a rightwing think tank, has been speaking out against Agenda 21 since the resolution was passed 20 years ago.  The group’s founder, Tom DeWeese, says he used to have small audiences whenever he railed against Agenda 21, but now the group’s membership is increasing and his audiences are larger.  Translation:  these inbred neckdroolers are getting more gullible every day.

If Clint Didier (“Who???”) Ever Gets Elected…

Clint Didier is a retired NFL player who ran for the U.S. Senate last year.  He lost the nomination to Dino Rossi who lost the election to Patty Murray.  But Clint Didier is only 52 and active in rightwing politics.  He might run for public office again.  And again…

Yesterday he spoke to a group of his fellow “The Black Helicopters Are Coming!!!” club members in Sequim, WA.  His main topic was UN Agenda 21.  Check out some of these links.  UN Agenda 21 is either our last chance to save ourselves from an ecological nightmare, or it’s a sinister plot for globalist thugs to conquer America and enslave Her with a One World Government.

You can guess which of those views is held by Clint Didier, based on what he said at yesterday’s meeting:

“I’m sick and tired of the United Nations ruining our country.  Now we know why they won't allow us to drill for domestic oil: because of carbon. They don't want us getting all these natural resources out because they don't want us to populate this Earth anymore.  If the U.N. gets its way, our children will never know what freedom is.  Now we know why they won't let us harvest our timber, and then create tinder boxes that are just a lightning strike away from uncontrollable fire.  Now we know why they're reintroducing the wolves and the cougars.  This is all part of the U.N. agenda. This biodiversity that they're talking about — well, that's an attack on private property rights…While you're hiding in your closet, they are taking away your living room, your kitchen, your dining room and your bedroom.”

All righty then.

And again, he’s 52 and active in politics.  Will he run for office again?  Stay tuned for “Clint Didier:  The Sequel.”
