The Conservatives' Secular Problem: Global Warming

Getting responsible about global warming is another way to speak to the concerns of secular voters (not to mention the religious voters who make up the Creation Care movement).

And some conservatives are trying to shake their irresponsible, anti-green reputation (with varying degrees of sincerity).

But there are plenty of conservatives who just can't change.

Tonight, Glenn Beck of CNN's Headline News airs his special, "Exposed: The Climate of Fear -- The Other Side of the Global Warming Debate."

And he promoted it on his radio show by saying (via Media Matters):

I'm not saying that anybody's going to -- you know, Al Gore's not going to be rounding up Jews and exterminating them. It is the same tactic, however.

The goal is different. The goal is globalization. The goal is global carbon tax. The goal is the United Nations running the world. That is the goal. Back in the 1930s, the goal was get rid of all of the Jews and have one global government.

You got to have an enemy to fight. And when you have an enemy to fight, then you can unite the entire world behind you, and you seize power. That was Hitler's plan. His enemy: the Jew. Al Gore's enemy, the U.N.'s enemy: global warming.

Suffice it to say, that won't help the ol' secular problem.
