Green Incoherence: Reaching Out to the Deplorables

The answer is ALWAYS government handouts.
Obama in trying to destroy the coal industry actively promoted transitioning the coal miners to food stamps. Nancy Pelosi taught us that taking the government dime helped the economy – got money out there circulating – and there was no shame in it.
Lefties are constantly telling me that more and more “poor while trash” is the face of government welfare.
I guess that didn’t work.
Ah, well. Seeing it’s the Democrats they’ll likely double-down, elect Keith Ellison head of the DNC and blame EVER-THANG! on stoopid, ignernt Whitey.

Clinton’s term, neither left nor Green. More confected nonsense from Eric “Click-bait” Worrell.

What do we mean by poverty? Not what Dickens or Blake or Mayhew meant. Today, no one seriously expects to go hungry in England or to live without running water or medical care or even TV. Poverty has been redefined in industrial countries, so that anyone at the lower end of the income distribution is poor ex officio, as it were—poor by virtue of having less than the rich. And of course by this logic, the only way of eliminating poverty is by an egalitarian redistribution of wealth—even if the society as a whole were to become poorer as a result.

Yet nothing I saw—neither the poverty nor the overt oppression—ever had the same devastating effect on the human personality as the undiscriminating welfare state. I never saw the loss of dignity, the self-centeredness, the spiritual and emotional vacuity, or the sheer ignorance of how to live, that I see daily in England. In a kind of pincer movement, therefore, I and the doctors from India and the Philippines have come to the same terrible conclusion: that the worst poverty is in England—and it is not material poverty but poverty of soul.

They Insult You.
They Hold Your Values and Aspirations In Contempt.
They Despise You. Your Family. Your Community.
And Then They Expect You To Vote For Them.
Green Day had a hit in 2004 with the song ‘American Idiot’. Surprised that The Democrats did not use it as their election theme song. Maybe next election.
And The Left Green Liberal Axis Position Themselves As The Educated, Intelligent Ones!

Sounds just like a scene out of Atlas Shrugged …
Great article. Thanks for sharing.

I find it hilarious that democrats (the plorables) complain that the less well paid and “uneducated” have voted for Trump. Democrats, socialists, labor, progressives (whatever you like to call them) have always relied on the lower socio-economic groups to get into power. Have you ever heard republicans or conservatives complain about that? Of course not, they just accept the outcome and get on with life.

“Uneducated”….seems to be the word for pompous leftists attempting to pretend that their opinion has more value. But here’s a little suggestion…..when the polling companies are asking people whether they have a college education they should ask one more probing question. That question would be from which faculty did they receive their degree. There are so many utterly USELESS college degrees these days that to say one has a college degree does not necessarily indicate education as much as indoctrination.

Even Bernie Sanders is completely out of touch with the flyover states. I watched him give a speech about how all white men have white privilege, imagine how well that went over in coal country.

global warming has only one use, one facility that uses it.
The entertainment industry uses it a a shorthand gag to signal the audience that their actor portraying a “smarter that you” character (Sheldon on the big bang theory, the Muslim guy on Scorpion, the dude playing Sherlock on Elementary) is actually smarter than you.
It’s losing it’s effectiveness in this role, but not fast enough for public safety.
If there is some way for WUWT readers to attack this aspect of the AGW fraud in their private life, you would be doing the country a service.

Just a thing for Billy Joe to think about.
It might be just as well his demented, diseased, Russians-under-the beds, neocon candidate lost the election. It’s to do with a little old thing called WW3.
While Russia has just moved missiles into its own territory of Kaliningrad, a Baltic exclave bordering NATO-armed Poland and Lithuania, the EU is about to vote on its own army, to be up and running by next year. That’s right. The dodgy German Empire, currently mismanaged by drunks and mediocrities and owned by lobbyists, is about to go out on its own, as if NATO wasn’t feisty enough for them. (We’re not sure where hundreds of thousands of military age males will come from, but we can make informed guesses.)
Just add Hillary to all that, and it’s enough to make you want to jump off the Tallahatchie Bridge, Billy Joe.

I have had to laugh as the election drew near and all the main stream media outlets were sending out incorrect information about Trump. That was my biggest worry was that too many people would buy into it. Then afterwards, they continued with incorrect analyses of what happened. Then the left wing starting rioting because of incorrect information. I had to chide my sister for getting swept up in the misinformation blitz. The stock market was going to tank! Oops, it is setting records. The Trump team is in disarray. Oops they are completely on track for the transition.
The MSM is completely wrong about who voted for Trump and why. The public supporters for the Democrats are by and large performers and sports stars who have little or no knowledge of the life that normal people live. They have no knowledge of what is required to survive without government assistance.
My friends who are Democrats continually paint an incorrect picture of whatever issue you care to name, then pose their arguments based on that inaccuracy. The straw man approach. Most people see through that tactic now, but the Democrats and the MSM still think it works.
I hesitate to change their minds now that most educated people, which includes white and blue collar, and every race and creed, no longer buy into the BS! If the left figures that out we might have a bigger battle.
