Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, a longtime admirer of
community organizing guru Saul Alinsky, visited the European
Parliament in Brussels on March 6, 2009. She told the assembled
Eurocrats:
I'm actually excited by this opportunity. I'm very well aware
that we are not yet through this economic crisis but the chief
of staff for President Obama is an old friend of mine and my
husband's and was in the White House when Bill was there. And
he said, you know, never waste a good crisis, and when it comes
to the economic crisis don't waste it when it can have a very
positive impact on climate change and energy security. And
that's what we're trying to do.
This makes it even more clear that the Obama administration's
highest priority is the radical transformation of American
society. White House Chief of Staff Rahm
Emanuel's statement after Election Day ("Rule one: Never
allow a crisis to go to waste. They are opportunities to do big
things.") wasn't just an offhanded remark.
The economic crisis is simply an excuse to transmogrify American
into a sclerotic European-style socialist state. The economically
suicidal cap-and-trade legislation, which would have the effect
of a huge national energy tax, is a primary vehicle to impose the
left's vision of "social justice" on America.
Who knew the Obama administration was being so blatant about it?
They're not even trying to hide it and the media, for the most
part, isn't even bothering to ask questions.
