The Vermont State Motto: Syrup and Socialism

Well, no, actually, it's "Freedom and Unity", but the first half of that phrase has certainly been obsolete for as long as Vermonters have been packing Bernie Sanders off to the U.S. Senate. Sanders, as probably everyone knows, is the senate's only avowed socialist (kudos to Bernie for at least being honest about it).

Comrade Sanders was recently seen providing an example of Godwin's Law, or at least a corollary thereof, by comparing climate change skeptics to those who ignored the threat of Hitler back in the '30s. So, climate change = Hitler, and climate change skeptics = ...I dunno...America First? Charles Lindbergh? Ed Driscoll carries Sanders' analogy to its absurd conclusion, with the sarcastic formulation, "fluctuating temperatures equals invading Europe and killing six million Jews."

Is there a movement in favor of Vermont seceding and joining Canada? If not, let's get busy. And please pardon my own indulgence in a variant of Godwin's Law...


"All within climate change, nothing outside climate change, nothing against climate change."

Unrelated, but also found at Ed Driscoll's site, this hilarious nugget:

What’s Obama’s standing in DC these days? Perhaps this headline offers one clue:

“Jimmy Carter Upset About Being Compared To Obama.”
