If this blog had an Irish Rabbi, Pat Buchanan would be it. The man is one head above all of us and teaching us the truth week after week. From his last shi'ur (weekly lesson):
If you would know what Copenhagen is all about, hearken to this nugget in The Washington Post's report from the Danish capital:The time Pat is talking about was forty years ago. It was better then.
"Ethiopian Prime Minister Meles Zenawi—who is representing all of Africa here—unveiled his proposal Wednesday for a system in which rich countries would provide money to poor ones to help deal with the effects of climate change. ...
"Zenawi said he would accept $30 billion in the short term, rising to $100 billion by 2020. ... This was seen as a key concession by developing countries, which had previously spurned that figure ... as too low."
There was a time when a U.S. diplomat would have burst out laughing after listening to a Third World con artist like this. But not the Obamaites. They are already ponying up.

The African kleptocrats would be lucky to see any of it. For now, Chinese conmen and Indian godmen including the IPCC's Pachauri have the inside angle on cornering the loot. The Western enablers were only too happy to part to with the dough so long as nobody looked too closely at the economics of carbon trading which is what Copenhagen was all about. I picked up this stuff from

The reason the Obamaites don't burst out laughing at third world conmen, is that they are a pack of third world conmen.
I'm glad that Obama hasn't suggested mass immigration from Africa as a form of climate change reparations. Whatever fraction of Whites in this country that voted for this man should be ashamed of themselves, but I doubt those that are ashamed would admit voting for Obama. The remainder of Whites may be beyond hope.
The only thing that will bring many of these white Democratic voters to their senses is real personal suffering; ie genuine economic pain. We have had some of that recently, and you can see how quickly the country has swung to the right. Here's the truth about white liberals: they will vote for these grotesque feelgood policies (and politicians) as long as the pain is felt elsewhere. When it hits home, they are very quick to return to reality.

Regarding what Anon #1 said...don't hold your breath - White Democrat voters are either comfortably rich (and it will take a long time to erode their wealth) or in professions that benefit directly or indirectly from government largesse (teachers, trial lawyers, college faculty, etc.) If you combine them with minorities and those who pay no income tax (overlapping categories) you are getting perilously close to having a permanent majority in favor of taxing the "rich" to pay for all the goodies, as long as there still are any rich left. The ultra rich are unconcerned - they can afford advisors to design elaborate tax shelters, so "rich" in this context means anyone who actually works for a living.
It is a little scary that Buchanan is right about this and yet is also an anti-Semite. Is it possible to be right about some things and wrong about others- I suppose so. Or maybe if I were black I'd feel the opposite - that B. is right about his anti-Semitism and wrong about the rest?
What went on in Copenhagen was what Tom Wolfe memorably called "mau mauing the flax catchers". As Ronduck said, Obama comes from the breed of "community organizers" who are used to extorting the Man, so he is entirely comfortable with this procedure (the operation known as the whiteman'smoneyectomy), even though there is some role reversal (the fox is guarding the hen house). Since Obama has already given away trillions to all and sundry, what are a few trillions more? Where Obama is from, money is something white people have in unlimited quantities but are unwilling to share with the darker peoples, so boring details like inflation and deficits and so on can be left to his Jew advisors - they know how to deal with such details. Obama is now the Big Man that his father wished to be and never was.
Sorry, flack , not flax. Catching linen makes no sense but in Wolfe's formulation a "flack catcher" was a bureaucrat whose job it was to receive "flack" - not anti-aircraft fire but the complaints of the (dark skinned) public. His role was then to capitulate and send some of OPM (other people's money) in the direction of the complainers. This of course is exactly what went on in Copenhagen on a global scale instead of in some dingy City Hall office, but with many more zeros attached to the figures and the accomodations were much nicer. In Wolfe's version, the mau-mau-ers would take the bus downtown to voice their complaints, instead of a private jet to Copenhagen, so their carbon footprint was much lower. But they were obviously small timers, asking only for "community centers" and such - they should have thought bigger.
Notwithstanding his name, Pat Buchanan is not Irish. I believe he's three quarters or one half German and one quarter Scots-Irish.
I am not racist. I like him even if he is not Irish.
