Yeah I like that joke Monckton uses. "The greens are too yellow to admit they're a bunch of reds."
I agree with Krauthammer because I actually met reds in university that shamelessly used the erroneous hockey stick graph and I could see how it fit with their ideology. Then when you look at the U.N. which everyone knows is corrupt (oil for food scandal for eg.) it doesn't take much to connect the dots of self-interest. Then you get the usual suspects of protestors that protest green initiatives but also every other left-wing initiative. Then you add people like Bono getting annoyed that his cause might compete with Al Gore's. Then they managed to work that out by having money available to alleviate poverty and fight the results of climate change at the same time.
At this point so many left-wing interests are aligned except for industry. Then the argument was to attack self-interest on the energy industries by dividing and conquering. The problem though was that the energy industry provides cheaper energy than the green technologies can so you couldn't divide the consumers (who need cheaper energy) from the suppliers. Now we are at a point in a big recession where the average person with some basic intellect and self-interest realize that as long as green energy is too expensive it will not be in their interests to protest fossil fuels because any taxes will be passed on in higher electricity bills. Unless green energy is cheaper it won't completely take over and when it is cheaper we will freely adopt it in the market.
Then you add people who stand to make billions like Al Gore and others affiliated with the U.N. (and Wall Street traders) and the public can tell that some are going to increase their standard of living (and carbon footprint) at the expense of a shrinking middle class. How do you grow an economy and create jobs for young people with more expensive energy? When you are trying to save for retirement extra electricity bills or carbon taxes will make that financial freedom less achievable and also leaves less money to spend on other products so the standard of living would have to reduce.
Marxists like to use the term 'praxis' on how to make their theories into reality and with free societies in the world there is always a place to defect to. Yet if there are world taxes and a world currency, then you can't escape any financial abuse, that's why Marxists need monopolistic control over capital and energy control is the most comprehensive way possible to achieve their 'praxis' to experiment in social engineering with no escape.
Boy you are right about this. This is another tactic that actually is very successful. This is how they want the ignorant public to view conservatives:

Nevermind that communists still run countries and abuse people today. Nevermind that China is now using the Copenhagen talks to ostracize the Dalai Lama.

I suppose the term communist though is outdated because it never was, or could be, achieved. It's a dreamy mental abstraction. All 'communism' is, is a fight between statism and democracy. There are different kinds of statism but more inequality is a result no matter the claims or goals with good intentions. Whether it is facist, communist, absolutist, monarchy, or religious dictatorship it ends up being all the same. Those who are on top are always right and those on the bottom are politically incorrect.
At least Monty Python believes in equal opportunity potshots:

It's not easy being green.
Though he had a intimidated pasty face look afterwards. Going through a class like that is like going through a proctology exam. The instructor was so smooth that he would lower his voice very low to make it harder to hear him and much harder to respond to his ideas. If you raised your hand he would never allow you a response. You had to shout it out and you had to have him look in your direction. It was also smart at the beginning to say openly that he likes capitalism and thought it was a part of human nature so he could make conservatives trust him. Once he targeted you then there was NO chance you would get a nine in the class.
Who are you fooling? Kids being pushed to like Obama (even singing about him in the U.S. 
) is an eyebrow raiser at least.
One thing about this site is I've learned to be more honest and independent minded precisely because I've exposed my opinions to ridicule and I can learn from my mistakes but also see where I'm going correctly. The current conservative forums arguments on climate change end up being trainwrecks reverting to pointless arguments of evolution vs. creation and yes there is some natural fear of statism (gee after the 20th century I wonder why?), but here you get to see the major divide between left and right. It's more interesting.
