Red Communism, with a Green Makeover

The following quote, from this article, has me deeply concerned:

"Environmentalism should be regarded on the same level with religion "as the only compelling, value-based narrative available to humanity," according to a paper written two years ago to influence the future strategy of the United Nations Environmental Program (UNEP), the world's would-be environmental watchdog."

It's the words "only," and "available," which worry me. Is UNEP going to attempt to replace religious values with its own? And what is UNEP's "value-based narrative?" Religions attempt to give mankind perspective on several key issues, such as, "Where did we come from (before this life)," "Why are we here," and, "After this life, where are we going?" Will the UNEP "value-based narrative" answer these questions? If folks find the answers, shall we say, less than satisfactory, will UNEP leave people free to explore and practice their own spirituality, and seek answers elsewhere? Will UNEP allow for the "availability" of other religions, or will it attempt to quash them with its own doctrine?

I don't know. Seems like old, red Communism, with a new, green makeover.

"Cloward-Piven Government" by James Simpson

"It is time to cast aside all remaining doubt. President Obama is not trying to lead America forward to recovery, prosperity and strength. Quite the opposite, in fact."

"The methodology is known as the Cloward-Piven Strategy, and we can all be grateful to David Horowitz and his Discover the Networks for originally exposing and explaining it to us. He describes it as:

The strategy of forcing political change through orchestrated crisis. The "Cloward-Piven Strategy" seeks to hasten the fall of capitalism by overloading the government bureaucracy with a flood of impossible demands, thus pushing society into crisis and economic collapse."

Why's and wherefore's here. And it ain't pretty.

Fighting World Hunger, One Garden at a Time

My kids inhale fruits and veggies. I can hardly keep up with them. At the same time, fresh produce is expensive, and when trucked in from foreign parts, not always the most fresh. A lot of people would probably attempt a garden, but traditional gardens frequently require a lot of space, time, water, weeding, seeds, etc. It's exhausting and intimidating, just thinking about it. Our family was really excited to find out about the Square Foot Gardening Method, a few years ago, and have enjoyed great success (though we have learned we need to use seed varieties friendly to our area of the country, and made for our growing season). But, the Square Foot Method achieves "100% of the harvest," while requiring only:

50% of the cost

20% of the space

10% of the water

5% of the seeds

2% of the work

Also, this method is kind to those with limited health, children, the elderly, and even those who can't bend down, or get down on the ground to garden in the traditional way. What's more, this method is being taught all over the world to help those in poverty, with limited means, water, space, etc., grow nutritious foods, lifting them out of malnutrition. What's not to like? Check it out!

The Perpetual Education Fund: Helping those who help themselves

The saying goes, "Give a man a fish, and he'll eat for a day; teach a man to fish, and he'll eat for a lifetime." Take a look at a really neat program which provides the opportunity for young men and women, with courage and determination, yet limited means, to realize their personal dreams for higher learning, that they might escape the cycle of poverty. This is an example of real hope and change.

Hmmm.

Again, this line of thinking might be nothing more than a theory, but the International Cap and Trade (Tax) plan does call for the formation of a new "government." Either way, our country's galloping, run-away spending, and lack of accountability is going to pull us all up short. Really short. Leveling the playing field means that everyone will be living life based on the lowest common denominator.

"Human Race Hurtling Towards Extinction"

Please go to the link here, to read the latest on the "demographic bomb" ready to drop on an unsuspecting planet.

Personally, I believe there are those who promote the myth of over-population, with the idea that the world will be better off if they have to share it with fewer people. Of course, they want you and me to be out of the picture, leaving the world for their own personal interests. Heaven forbid that these "progressive" thinkers should have to make any personal sacrifices. Reminds me of Animal Farm--"everyone is equal, but some are more equal than others." Their appalling selfishness and willingness to watch millions suffer needlessly, in order to reach their grossly misguided goals leaves me speechless.

I have to wonder, also, if our current federal administration isn't in on this idea of over-population, with all their radical czars, and the President who hand-picked them, their love of created crisis, purposefully steering our country over the cliff towards economic and social ruin, promoting fiscally disastrous policies like the failed bailouts, government-mandated health care, same-sex marriage (unions which don't produce children), a demoralized military, and pro-abortion legislation.

Just sayin.'
