Pelosi: Every Part Of Our Lives Must Be “Subjected To An Inventory” To Fight Global Warming
I keep saying it over and over again. The proponents of big government love global warming hysteria because it gives the justification to regulate every single aspect of our lives. Pelosi says as much while visiting China:
In answering a question from a student about how Pelosi was going to get Americans to cut back on their carbon emissions, the leading Democratic lawmaker said it was important to educate children on how to conserve energy and for citizens to build more environmentally friendly homes.
“We have so much room for improvement,” she said. “Every aspect of our lives must be subjected to an inventory … of how we are taking responsibility.”
And who do you think is going to be doing the inventory? Obviously this whole “freedom” thing isn’t working out, since we’re driving hummers and running the air conditioning with the doors open and what not, so I guess some bureaucrat is going to have to inventory our lives for us. The federal government is already regulating everything from what cars we can drive to what light bulbs we use, so why not more?
Given that, this statement in the article was rather ironic:
Pelosi’s trip has been notable for skirting human rights and the fierce public criticisms she has frequently leveled at the authoritarian government.
I don’t think Nancy Pelosi has any room to lecture about “authoritarian government.”
