Peggy Noonan: “The biggest political change in my lifetime is that Americans no longer assume that their children will have it better than they did. This is a huge break with the past, with assumptions and traditions that shaped us.” – WSJ

‘Sustainable development’, ‘smart growth’ and ‘livable communities’ is all based on UN Agenda 21 which is a way to usurp property rights and constitutional rights. Local officials, at the behest of state or federal government, revise zoning laws to fit into a “smart code” zoning template. A massive reshuffling of property rights ensues.

Teddy Roosevelt, Woodrow Wilson, and Adolf Hitler all believed in weeding out undesirables in the human race. Similar sentiments have appeared in the writings of Obama friend and terrorist Bill Ayers and Obama science czar John Holdren. The only difference appears to be who decides what ‘undesirables’ are. Could you be next?

The purpose behind the Senators’ attempt to foster archaic living and travel arrangements (often called “smart growth”) is the belief that this would lead to lower greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. As it turns out, there is scant evidence to suggest that this would be the consequence of such a strategy, and what evidence there is indicates that the Senators are proposing that Americans trade an empty gesture on the environment for a program that would contribute to restoring house prices to the unaffordable levels reached in 2006–2007.

The U.S. will subsidize a new $500-million United Nations agency that conservatives say will likely promote an abortion agenda.

Those of you reading usACTIONnews.com already knew this but he idea that President Obama is anti-business broke into the mainstream this week. Newsweek’s Fareed Zakaria wrote Monday that after speaking with numerous corporate executives, most of whom voted for Obama, he found that “all think he is, at his core, anti-business.” Now if we can just get them to understand that Obama is anti American too.

Uncertainty about future taxes and regulations is enemy No. 1 of economic growth. Almost daily, Mr. Obama uses his rhetorical skill to castigate businessmen who have the audacity to hope for profitable opportunities. No president since Franklin Roosevelt has taken that route. President Roosevelt slowed recovery in 1938-40 until the war by creating uncertainty about his objectives. It was harmful then, and it’s harmful now.

He followed the established but failed practice of proposing complex, indirect remedies that aim to hide costs from consumers (and thus, voters). At best, this political sleight-of-hand makes import reductions and emission controls far more costly to achieve than would otherwise be the case. Economic harm is the more likely outcome.

The chairman of the Business Roundtable, an association of top corporate executives that has been President Obama’s closest ally in the business community, accused the president and Democratic lawmakers Tuesday of creating an “increasingly hostile environment for investment and job creation.”

Holdren has co-authored works in the past that called for a campaign to “de-develop the United States” and said people need to eventually face up to a “world of zero net physical growth.” He also co-authored a passage that said: “The fetus, given the opportunity to develop properly before birth, and given the essential early socializing experiences and sufficient nourishing food during the crucial early years after birth, will ultimately develop into a human being. Where any of these essential elements is lacking, the resultant individual will be deficient in some respect.”
