History is filled with Progressive dolts and their followers. The latest addition to the Progressive Dolt Hall of Fame, Jonathon Porritt.
Jonathon Porritt, who chairs the British government’s Sustainable Development Commission, says curbing population growth through contraception and abortion must be at the heart of policies to fight global warming:
“I am unapologetic about asking people to connect up their own responsibility for their total environmental footprint and how they decide to procreate and how many children they think are appropriate,” Porritt said.”
Mr. Porritt is just another of example of a “dangerous Progressive.” Progressives are harmless when they are sitting in their favorite coffee house, sipping on a soy latte, while talking about solving the worlds problems (imagined or real) within the confines of their fantasy world. The danger is when they are set free on an unsuspecting world to promote “their solutions.” Solutions usually based on a false or exaggerated problem.
Porritt, like so many other Progressives, has no difficulty placing a price tag on human life, usually in the name of “saving mankind.” He speaks of “volunteerism” in achieving a “low population” goal, somehow suggesting free will. It starts with a “simple resolution” from the government-suggesting adherence. But when casual commitment falls short of the intended goal, what was once promoted as a “suggestion” soon becomes “mandatory.” As we are being forced to do something, we are reminded “it is for our own good!”
The myths of overpopulation, like those of global warming, are used to scare people into drastic measures to “combat” the problem. Like the fascist of the past, the scare tactics only work so long as the population is willing to act like lemmings, and follow these ill-informed “do-gooders” over the cliff.
As for Mr. Porritt suggestion, it is a good thing his mother didn’t feel the same way.
