Is It Possible That 'Socialism' Isn't The Real Reason The Usual Suspects Are...


...Screaming About The Green New Deal?


And, given all the screaming, I am personally surprised that said suspects haven't yet accused AOC of being a Marxian replicant who was manufactured in a vat in East Caracas by Hugo Chavez in 2001.

After all, she once was a budding young microbiologist who messed around with roundworms which should be enough evidence for anyone.

Right?

But what about this:

Ohio’s political conservatives strongly favor renewable energy over coal and especially over nuclear power, a new poll commissioned by the Ohio Conservative Energy Forum has found.

“Conservatives in Ohio are strong supporters of renewable energy, with a clear majority, 70 percent, wanting 50 percent or more of their energy to come from renewable sources,” concluded Jim Hobart, a partner at Public Opinion Strategies, a national polling firm which does research for Republican candidates.

The poll was the third such survey Public Opinion Strategies had done for the the Ohio Conservative Energy Forum. It found growing support for clean energy. And a willingness to pay extra for it.

Conservative Ohio voters “also view renewable energy as a job creator in the state, with low-income conservatives and conservative men being especially likely to say that the increased use of renewables would create jobs in Ohio,” Hobart’s summary of findings points out...



Boss! Boss! The Base!

Piece quoted above was written by John Funk in the people's notoriously funkadelic Cleveland Plain Dealer....A link to the 'Ohio Conservative Energy Forum's presser on this thing is here...All joking aside, this thing has the whiff of a push about it...Is it possible that the lobbyists's stars are starting to align with those who bankroll the wingnuttian welfare workhouses?

I’ve watched AOC in action on several fronts, and am of the opinion that with the plethora of newly-elected reps that seem to be there for the right reasons, the usual suspects are looking at the lights of a fast moving train that is going to run them over. The more the plebs see of them in clips like this one, the more 2020 looks to be bad news for dinosaurs.

Agreed.

I followed early reports of Mr. Trump's initial exploits in Scotland....If I remember correctly he even built a wall around his golf coure there in an effort to force locals out.

Ross,

Trumps 2nd favourite magazine - for one reason and another, has cottoned on to the renewable gig.

Maybe their, and our "base" should read something other than the national enquirer, and hope that they don't research renewables in other parts of the world,

like Spain,

Denmark,

or Scotland,

Which Mr. T. is a user of at his golf course
