THE USUAL LEFTIST SOLUTION: KILL PEOPLE

The idea that social and political problems can be solved by exterminating wholesale entire groups of people is an important part of the Leftist vision. The most obvious examples in the 20th century were the attempted genocide of the Jews and Gypsies by the National Socialists of Germany and the extermination or democide of the kulaks and the attempted genocide of the Ukrainians by the Soviet Communists. Those crimes obviously did not do much to improve the social and political conditions in either the Third Reich or the Soviet Union.

Leftists have not given up on solving their political problems by the mass death of their opponents, however. In a recent online publication, called the Baltimore Chronicle & Sentinel, a leftist who calls himself David Lindorff suggests that American could be saved by the mass death of those Americans he doesn't like. He thinks it will be caused by global warmening:

The area that will by completely inundated by the rising ocean—and not in a century but in the lifetime of my two cats—are the American southeast, including the most populated area of Texas, almost all of Florida, most of Louisiana, and half of Alabama and Mississippi, as well as goodly portions of eastern Georgia, South Carolina and North Carolina. While the northeast will also see some coastal flooding, its geography is such that that aside from a few projecting sandbars like Long Island and Cape Cod, the land rises fairly quickly to well above sea level. Sure, Boston, New York and Philadelphia will be threatened, but these are geographically confined areas that could lend themselves to protection by Dutch-style dikes. The West Coast too tends to rise rapidly to well above sea level in most places. Only down in Southern California towards the San Diego area is the ground closer to sea level.

So what we see is that huge swaths of conservative America are set to face a biblical deluge in a few more presidential cycles.

Then there’s the matter of the Midwest, which climate experts say is likely to face a permanent condition of unprecedented drought, making the place largely unlivable, and certainly unfarmable. The agribusinesses and conservative farmers that have been growing corn and wheat may be able to stretch out this doomsday scenario by deep well drilling, but west of the Mississippi, the vast Ogallala Aquifer that has allowed for such irrigation is already being tapped out. It will not be replaced.

So again, we will see the decline and depopulation of the nation’s vast midsection—noted for its consistent conservatism. Only in the northernmost area, around the Great Lakes (which will be not so great anymore), and along the Canadian border, will there still be enough rain for farming and continued large population concentrations, but those regions, like Minnesota, Wisconsin and Illinois, are also more liberal in their politics.

Finally, in the Southwest, already parched and stiflingly hot, the rise in energy costs and the soaring temperatures will put an end to right-wing retirement communities like Phoenix, Tucson and Palm Springs. Already the Salton Sea is fading away and putting Palm Springs on notice that the good times are coming to an end. Another right-wing haven soon to be gone.

So the future political map of America is likely to look as different as the much shrunken geographical map, with much of the so-called “red” state region either gone or depopulated.

His belief in the consequences of global warming is obviously mistaken. But what is important is his unashamed admission that what he thinks will "save" America is the death and destruction of his political opponents.

Note also, that he intends to show no mercy on the survivors:

The important thing is that we, on the higher ground both actually and figuratively, need to remember that, when they begin their historic migration from their doomed regions, we not give them the keys to the city. They certainly should be offered assistance in their time of need, but we need to keep a firm grip on our political systems, making sure that these guilty throngs who allowed the world to go to hell are gerrymandered into political impotence in their new homes.

There will be much work to be done to help the earth and its residents—human and non-human—survive this man-made catastrophe, and we can’t have these future refugee troglodytes, should their personal disasters still fail to make them recognize reality, mucking things up again.

That's not really surprising. The history of our most recent 10 or 12 natural disasters should amply prove that massive and effective private relief efforts motivated only by philanthropy came from conservative areas, and were carried out by conservative people, and especially by conservative religious people. From the Leftists, all the victims of Hurricane Katrina received was the dubious honor of being used as yet one more cudgel with which Leftists could attack the President.

As we go to the polls in 2008, all Americans should remember what the Leftists who dominate the Democratic Party desire: the death and destruction of as many of their political opponents as possible, and the use of any political tricks necessary to deprive any survivors of any rights or political power at all.

It's the same old Leftist program that we have seen at work in National Socialism, Communism, Castro-ism, Mugabe-ism, and Chavez-ism. A high speed lane to ruin.
