A Vote for Green Climate Fund in Omnibus Spending Bill Is a Vote for Paris Agreement

What better time than Christmas to spend other people's money and give presents to the environmental activists?
In addition to the other generous handouts renewable companies would receive in the omnibus spending bill, backroom negotiators are also pushing for President Barack Obama's $3-billion pledge for the Green Climate Fund, a key component of the Paris climate change talks.

Freedom

"If you think aficionados of a Living Constitution want to bring you flexibility, think again." -- Antonin Scalia

"THESE are the times that try men's souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands by it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph." --Thomas Paine, "The Crisis", December 23, 1776

"It is incumbent on every generation to pay its own debts as it goes. A principle which if acted on would save one-half the wars of the world." --Thomas Jefferson

"One of the penalties for refusing to participate in politics is that you end up being governed by your inferiors." --Plato

“In the end, more than they wanted freedom, they wanted security – they wanted a comfortable life and they lost it all…security, comfort, and freedom. When the Athenians finally wanted not to give to society, but for society to give to them, when the freedom they wished for most was freedom from responsibility, then Athens ceased to be free.” --Historian Edward Gibbon on the fall of Athens

Socialism, Communism, etc.

"Every collectivist revolution rides in on a Trojan horse of EMERGENCY." --Herbert Hoover

"We cannot expect the Americans to jump from capitalism to Communism, but we can assist their elected leaders in giving Americans small doses of socialism until they suddenly awake to find they have Communism." -- Soviet Leader Nikita Khrushchev, 1959

“The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other peoples’ money.” -- Margaret Thatcher

"Were we directed from Washington when to sow, and when to reap, we should soon want bread." --Thomas Jefferson

"A government big enough to give you everything you want is strong enough to take everything you have." -- Thomas Jefferson

When government doesn’t agree with the people, it’s time to change the people -- Bertolt Brecht (obviously a Progressive)

“Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery.” -- Sir Winston Churchill

The best way to take control over a people and control them utterly is to take a little of their freedom at a time, to erode rights by a thousand tiny and almost imperceptible reductions. In this way the people will not see those rights and freedoms being removed until past the point at which these changes cannot be reversed. -- Adolf Hitler

"All this was inspired by the principle - which is quite true in itself - that in the big lie there is always a certain force of credibility; because the broad masses of a nation are always more easily corrupted in the deeper strata of their emotional nature than consciously or voluntarily; and thus in the primitive simplicity of their minds they more readily fall victims to the big lie than the small lie, since they themselves often tell small lies in little matters but would be ashamed to resort to large-scale falsehoods. It would never come into their heads to fabricate colossal untruths, and they would not believe that others could have the impudence to distort the truth so infamously." - Adolf Hitler

“The press should be not only a collective propagandist and a collective agitator, but also a collective organizer of the masses… When one makes a Revolution, one cannot mark time; one must always go forward – or go back. He who now talks about the “freedom of the press” goes backward, and halts our headlong course towards Socialism.” --Vladimir Lenin

Civil Rights

In 1857, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in the Dred Scott decision by a 7-2 vote, that black people were not “legal persons” and were property of the slave owners who were granted basic constitutional “rights” to own those slaves. Abolitionists were told if they disagreed with slavery, they didn’t have to “own a slave” and not to 'impose their morality on slave owners'.

Similarly, in 1973, by a 7-2 decision, the Supreme Court ruled in Roe v. Wade that unborn humans were not “legal persons” and that they were, in essence, property of the owner (the mother) who had the constitutional right to kill her unborn baby. Pro-lifers who opposed abortion were told, like the early abolitionists, that if they opposed abortion, they 'shouldn’t have one' and shouldn’t 'impose their morality on those who choose to'. --Gregg Jackson, author Conservative Comebacks to Liberal Lies (2007)
