From Jeffrey T. Kuhner, The War on Capitalism:
Environmentalism has very little to do with protecting the environment. It is green socialism. Its objective is to achieve what red communism couldn't: the conquest of capitalism. Instead of central planning and a command economy, we would have a highly regulated, highly taxed bureaucratic corporatism that would stifle economic growth and individual initiative.
Beginning in the 19th century, much of the Western intelligentsia lost faith in God. The 20th century saw numerous attempts - Marxism, fascism, national socialism -- to construct a society without God. They failed. Now the West's liberal elites are seeking to infuse the radical secular project with new meaning and purpose -- man's salvation through the worship of Gaea, Mother Earth.
The green movement is a form of pantheism. It hopes to sacrifice prosperity, abundance and wealth at the altar of a false god.
Mr. Obama is its prophet of doom. And America is its victim.
