Socialist Climate Czar

If you've been a follower of Right Thinking, you’ve noticed that I haven’t posted for awhile. There are several reasons for that. First, it’s basketball season, which means that I’m busy with my second job: coaching. Second, I needed a break after all the writing that I did leading up to last November’s presidential election. Third, I have begun to attempt to teach myself a foreign language. Finally, there just hasn’t been much happening in the world about which I have felt a need or a desire to write. However, an article in yesterday’s Washington Times caught my interest.

Some of you may remember that, leading up to and immediately following the election, I wrote several posts expressing my concern about Barack Obama’s socialist ties. If you don’t remember those posts, you can find them here, here, and here. My concern was that if Obama were elected, he would lead this country so far down a path toward Socialism that we may never be able to recover.

Well, guess what. It’s starting. President-elect Obama has appointed Carol M. Browner to fill the newly-created position of presidential assistant on energy and climate change.

So who is Carol M. Browner? Well, until this appointment, she was a member of The Socialist International’s Commission for a Sustainable World Society. According to it’s website, Socialist International is “the worldwide organisation of social democratic, socialist and labour parties,” and its Commission for a Sustainable World Society, was “established by the Socialist International to articulate from the world of progressive politics a way forward to address global environmental concerns, climate change and the issues of governance required to deal with these common challenges.”

If that’s not enough of a clue as to what kind of agenda Browner will have as Obama’s energy and climate czar, The New York Times reported that Browner has called global warming “the greatest challenge ever faced.”

Yes, elections have consequences.
