Today must just be the day for me to run across all those anti-death-penalty, daisy peddlin,' love everyone, tree huggin' liberals who want to kill off major segments of population. I caught some of this on Peter Heck's show last week (or week before?), but it jumped up at me again in a Fox news headline today.
Turns out our beloved president's science czar (that's creepy right there, don't you think?), John Holdren, was co-author of a 1977 science textbook in which compulsory abortions and other draconian, malthusian measures were recommended (in a science textbook) to shrink the population. That's HUMAN population, folks.
******
But many of Holdren's radical ideas on population control were not brought up at his confirmation hearings; it appears that the senators who scrutinized him had no knowledge of the contents of a textbook he co-authored in 1977, "Ecoscience: Population, Resources, Environment," a copy of which was obtained by FOXNews.com. The 1,000-page course book, which was co-written with environmental activists Paul and Anne Ehrlich, discusses and in one passage seems to advocate totalitarian measures to curb population growth, which it says could cause an environmental catastrophe.

The three authors summarize their guiding principle in a single sentence: "To provide a high quality of life for all, there must be fewer people."
As first reported by FrontPage Magazine, Holdren and his co-authors spend a portion of the book discussing possible government programs that could be used to lower birth rates. Those plans include forcing single women to abort their babies or put them up for adoption; implanting sterilizing capsules in people when they reach puberty; and spiking water reserves and staple foods with a chemical that would make people sterile.
To help achieve those goals, they formulate a "world government scheme" they call the Planetary Regime, which would administer the world's resources and human growth, and they discuss the development of an "armed international organization, a global analogue of a police force" to which nations would surrender part of their sovereignty. -- "Obama's Science Czar Considered Forced Abortions, Sterilization as Population Growth Solutions," Fox News, 7/21/2009

Holdren is denying that he has supported such ideas and has expressed righteous anger that sources like FrontPage, Fox News, et. al. would dare conjure up such slander based on his contributions to a science textbook published in 1977. (Quick aside: ya' know, it's funny how libs get all upset when no one takes them seriously, but are then so quick to deny everything they have ever said and written when they are taken seriously. It's all so confusing. Do they want me to help them spread their liberal ideas or don't they?)
Folks, it gets clearer and clearer that Americans have allowed the inmates to create and then run the asylum.
I have a unique idea! Why don't all these malthusian wing-nuts get themselves together and drink their own tainted kool-aid (with apologies to a fine brand name)? They would be doing that which they believe everyone else should be doing: dying for population control. It makes wonderful sense to me.
Oh, wait. Whattya mean they've got "elitist" tatooed on their foreheads?

These people always believe in OTHER PEOPLE dying to save the planet. They won't ever volunteer themselves for the cause.
One of my favorite genres is sci-fi. I have seen & read many a plot where someone awakens an evil force on the belief that he/she will control the force & benefit from its power. Inevitably, the one awakening the force is toast as the evil force does wht it intends to do all along: take over the world/universe and enslave/kill people.
In real life, we have had many folks legitimize & empower liberalism because they believe that they can control those they empower & benefit from them. However, liberals in power plan to do what they intend to do all along: take over the world and enslave/kill people. The only ones exempt will be the minority with the "elitist" stamp.
The question remains: how far will we allow them to get away with it before we take steps to stop it?
