I think the worst of the Greens are that way, but most of them just don't realize the unintended consequences of what they propose.
True. I confess I just sat and pondered Bill's great statement for a few minutes my own self.

I believe that Al "Big Mother" Gore knows what he's about though:
Ultimately, however, environmentalism is fascist not because of its airy and obscure metaphysical assumptions about the existential plight of man. Rather, its most tangible fascist ingredient is that global warming is the defining crisis of our time. Skeptics are called traitors, Holocaust deniers, tools of the "carbon interests." Alternatively, progressive environmentalists cast themselves in the role of nurturing caregivers. When Gore appeared before Congress in early 2007, he proclaimed that the world has a "fever" and explained that when your baby has a fever, you "take action." You do whatever your doctor says. No time to debate, no room for argument. We must get "beyond politics." In practical terms this means we must surrender to the global nanny state and create the sort of "economic dictatorship" progressives yearn for.
from Liberal Fascism, page 382

(MM - I apologize for re-posting this to you if you've seen it already over on the Liberal Fiction board.)
