Democratic Senator and presidential candidate Cory Booker gave an impassioned defense of the so-called Green New Deal a few days ago, in which he mocked skeptics by pointing out that America has always been about “doing the impossible.” He says “we need to be bold again in America. We have to have dreams that push the bounds of human potential.”
Let’s be clear. The so-called Green New Deal is calling for a “mobilization on the scale of World War II and the Marshall Plan.” That’s what its supporters are saying, not its critics.
That’s bold, but it isn’t about having “dreams.” It’s about having ONE dream, and that dream isn’t yours, or mine. It’s the dream of Rep. Ocasio-Cortez and her coterie of profoundly arrogant, profoundly ignorant, profoundly irresponsible political hacks. It’s the dream of progressive Democrats.
In the Democrats’ new America, there is no place for your dreams. You’ll be too busy struggling to achieve theirs. Peasant.
