The amazing thing about the left is their propensity to stoop to name-calling those who disagree with them. Such is the case with the latest from hard-left Liberal Moonbat Dave Lindorff and his piece on the impact of Global Warming on the possible changes to the political landscape in the U.S., published in the Baltimore Chronicle recently.

Lindorff is a poster-child for showing how stupid, hateful, and power-mongering those on the hard-left really are. In his piece, he proclaims that despite the current warming trends and the hypothetical doom-and-gloom scenario pushed by Al Gore and the I.P.C.C. (which is subservient to that pillar of corruption, the United Nations), "there is a silver lining."

He goes on to illustrate that the areas most likely to succumb to the rising sea level are predominantly conservative regions, like Texas and other parts of the south East, and San Diego. We'll set aside the fact that the sea level rise of a few inches over the next few decades is unlikely to cause San Diego to be under water. Only Al Gore and Lindorff believe that the Earth will see a deluge of biblical proportions over the next few years. Even the IPCC isn't predicting as much of a rise in sea level as the Boracle is.

Lindorff then goes on with the Midwest:

Then there's the matter of the Midwest, which climate experts say is likely to face a permanent condition of unprecedented drought, making the place largely unlivable, and certainly unfarmable. The agribusinesses and conservative farmers that have been growing corn and wheat may be able to stretch out this doomsday scenario by deep well drilling, but west of the Mississippi, the vast Ogallala Aquifer that has allowed for such irrigation is already being tapped out. It will not be replaced.

This part is news to me. I don't know about the aquifers in most of the Midwest, but here in Minnesota, there are numerous aquifers that haven't even been tapped as yet. I find it hard to believe that the bulk of the Midwest is relying on only the Ogallala Aquifer. Also, no where in his diatribe does he cite who these "climate experts" are that are making such doomsday claims that much of the Midwest will be unfarmable. He also ignores the fact that it is the hard-working farming community that produces the food that Lindorff and his cronies on the Left put on their table. No farm land, no food.

Further, water management and irrigation practices constantly improve. Plus, should the Ogallala Aquifer run dry (unlike to happen in my daughter's lifetime, let alone mine), there are other, deeper aquifers that can be tapped.

Will there be another '30s style dustbowl as the Earth's climate warms? Maybe, but probably not as we've been able to more efficiently tap our underground water resources since that time, allowing efficient irrigation of crops, thus relieving farmers of the necessity of relying solely on rainfall to water their crops, and making desolate places like the San Joaquin Valley, an area that gets maybe 10 inches or so of rain a year, highly profitable farmland.

Lindorff goes on to point out that Southwest retirement communities are being hit with rising energy costs, which may well put them on the path of becoming ghost towns.

What is hilarious about this is Lindorff's stand:

There is a poetic justice to this of course. It is conservatives who are giving us the candidates who steadfastly refuse to have the nation take steps that could slow the pace of climate change, so it is appropriate that they should bear the brunt of its impact.

How about those on the Hard-Left, like Barbara Boxer, Nancy Pelosi, Barack Obama, John Kerry, John Edwards, Hillary Clinton, and a host of other Hard-Left (and even some "moderate") Democrats who insist that the theory that global warming is man-caused, rather than a natural phenomenon, and are hell-bent to bankrupt working Americans by forcing them to pay higher energy costs while they sit on their laurels jetting to Bali for their CO2 rallies.

Al Gore, one of the biggest champions of "Cap and Trade," the shell game where power companies will be forced to purchase "carbon credits" from "green" power plants, such as wind turbines, owns Generations Investment Management, a firm dedicated to brokering such trades (and provides the Boracle with his carbon credits).

If the Hard-Left has its way, America will be pushed into second world status instead of world leadership, while reducing jobs, raising energy costs, and bringing us higher taxes, all of which will combine to significantly lower the American standard of living. Meanwhile, the wealthy liberals who are pushing this on us will continue to live a life of leisure, prestige, and privilege while telling those of us who have to work for a living (assuming we still have jobs) that we must conserve and use less of everything.

The capper in Lindorff's piece is when he states that conservatives should be denied any future say in government because, in his mind, we've screwed the world up.

The important thing is that we, on the higher ground both actually and figuratively, need to remember that, when they begin their historic migration from their doomed regions, we not give them the keys to the city. They certainly should be offered assistance in their time of need, but we need to keep a firm grip on our political systems, making sure that these guilty throngs who allowed the world to go to hell are gerrymandered into political impotence in their new homes.

There will be much work to be done to help the earth and its residents-human and non-human-survive this man-made catastrophe, and we can't have these future refugee troglodytes, should their personal disasters still fail to make them recognize reality, mucking things up again.

Based on this, Lindorff must be okay with silencing and disenfranchising the hard-left for all of the things they've done to screw up the world: Abandoning South Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia to communism in the '70s; abandoning the Shah of Iran thus allowing a totalitarian theocracy to be established in the Middle East that has been supplying terrorists with money, arms and training; hog-tying the nuclear industry by making it illegal to reprocess fuel rods, which has forced nuclear power plants to stock pile spent fuel rods rather than send them to other facilities that can reprocess the rods (like is done in France) and extract more energy and consequently reduce the amount of radioactive waste that needs to stored; not enforcing our immigration laws and allowing a huge influx of illegal aliens and then pushing for amnesty and citizenship for millions of people who do not respect our laws; providing nuclear technology to North Korea and then turning a blind eye as this totalitarian regime develops and tests its first nuclear weapon. I could go on and on listing all of the ignorant and dangerous decisions that have been foisted on America and the World by Hard-Left Liberal Democrats, but what would be the point? Most conservatives are aware of these issues, and Liberal/Progressives don't care.

As for Dave Lindorff, congratulations, you are the latest winner of the Moonbat Award.
