Britain’s Welfare State: The Model of Unsustainability

Moonbats like to use the word “unsustainable.” How’s this for unsustainable?

Prince Charles: Follow Islam to Save Gaia

It’s hard to imagine how the subversion of the Church of England could get any worse — yet it will, should Prince Charles ascend to the throne.

If that isn’t bad enough, the titular head — […]

 

Clear-Cutting Forests to Save the Planet

While paving the way for Comrade Obama’s imposition of socialism, George W. Bush declared, “I’ve abandoned free market principles to save the free market system.” Taking a similar approach, the moonbats running Denmark are saving the earth from the nonexistent climate crisis by clear-cutting forests. Even some environmentalists are alarmed by the absolute insanity: The […]
