Global Warming is less about climate...

... and much more about an ideology that abhors capitalism:

On Thursday, Steven Chu, President Obama's energy secretary, told attendees at a solar power event on the National Mall that it's "wonderful" to see companies like Exelon, Apple and Pacific Gas & Electric leave the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.

The chamber is a pro-capitalism, pro-free-enterprise association of businesses that has fought against climate treaties like Kyoto and legislation such as Waxman-Markey as futile efforts not founded in science that are economically damaging and recipes for global poverty.

"I think it's wonderful," Chu told reporters at the event. He said that companies that left the 3-million-member chamber objected to "foot-dragging" and "denials" and realize that efforts to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases are "part of our economic future in the United States."

Chu divides the business community into climate-change "deniers" and those who have converted to what Czech President Vaclav Klaus has called a "religion." He hopes to conquer opponents who realize that those who follow the road to the climate conference this December have no economic future.

Said chamber President Tom Donohue at a press conference: "It is pretty clear," said chamber President Tom Donohue, ". . . that a number of environmental groups are trying to apply some pressure on chamber companies to apply pressure on us to change our views" on climate legislation passed by the House of Representatives.

They say that people get the government they deserve, but did we really sin enough as a nation to deserve this?

I say it's long past time for secession again in this country. And this time we had better succeed at it.
