Riding off into the global warming alarmist sunset on a unicorn

In typical turn-the-table strategy President Barack Obama’s Organizing for Action team has set the unicorns loose on global warming.

In a generic email to ‘Friend’, Ivan Frishberg, Climate Campaign Manager for Organizing for Action gets creative in the email subject line: “Unicorns exist**” “If I said to you: “Unicorns exist, I totally just saw one galloping down the street,” most likely you’d give me a sad look and get on with your day,” Frishberg wrote. “But what if House Speaker Boehner and the chairman of the House Science Committee said they didn’t know if the science behind climate change was real. (Yeah. That actually happened).” “Now obviously, it doesn’t matter if I just make stuff up about unicorns. But it matters, and it matters a whole lot, that so many of our elected officials in Washington who represent us are denying science and using that denial to refuse to take action on climate change,” Frishberg continues.

“It’s actually dangerous--and it matters how we react. “Each and every day that congressional leaders hold on to their bizarre fantasy world, OFA is going to be there, not letting them get away with it. “Add your name and say you’re ready to hold climate deniers accountable,” Frishberg exhorts. Holy unicorn! A chilling concept when one considers that it wasn’t that long ago when Grist magazine staff writer David Roberts called for the Nuremberg style trials for the “bastards” who were members of what he termed the global warming “denial industry”. Former US vice president Al Gore has deemed the magazine respectful enough to grant one-on-one interviews to promote his projects. (News Busters, Oct. 11, 2006) In the “bizarre fantasy world” of the Obama regime, unicorns keep popping up everywhere. There are unicorns on the loose on the golf links where Obama plays, including Monday; and it’s a bling-laden unicorn world at the White House where Hollywood stars and unelected czars party with Obama while the Fundamental Transformation of America robs every-day Americans of individual rights and freedoms. Nor is Ivan Frishberg the first on the Obama team to resort to the symbols of fiction in making his point. Ben Rhodes, Obama’s Foreign Policy Speech Writer and now National Security Council team member “earned a master’s degree in fiction-writing from New York University just a few years ago” (American Thinker, May 5, 2013). “He did not have a degree in government, diplomacy, national security; nor has he served in the CIA, or the military. He was toiling away not that long ago on a novel called “The Oasis of Love” about a mega church in Houston, a dog track, and a failed romance.” This is the guy who reportedly altered CIA talking points to delete references to Islamic terrorists, “attacks” (they became “demonstrations”) and other negative references to Islamism. (Steven Hayes, Weekly Standard). Fiction rides supreme in the Obama administration, where we are reminded daily that truth really is stranger than fiction. When the inconvenient truth on global warming made its escape into the ongoing fiction it really is, we all saw Al Gore riding off into the $200-million sunset on a unicorn.
