They’re Coming For Your Kids

Last Friday we were supposed to be overwhelmed by the spectacle of multitudes of teenagers walking out on their high school classes as part of a world-wide “Youth Climate Strike” to “demand immediate action” by the government to–er, stop: yes, they think the government can “stop” it—climate change.

Oh, the hysteria! “People are dying! Enact the Green New Deal! Climate justice!” The strike was a big Thing in hopeless Europe, but here in America, it pretty much fizzled. But they’ll try again.

This is part of a massive effort by the Democrat Party to seize control of our country and never give it back, and finish the job of “fundamental transformation” of America into a socialist basket case with themselves ruling it forever.

At the same time, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi declared it’s high time we lowered the voting age to 16.

Now, why would anyone want to add several million children to the voting rolls?

In one of those rare instances in which a Democrat accidently tells the truth, Pelosi came right out with this:

“It’s really important to capture kids when they’re in high school.”

Did she say “capture”? Yeah, that’s what she said and that’s what she meant: “capture.” Her choice of words is revealing.

High school kids, of course, are already a captive audience. Pelosi wants them to be her party’s captives. Because here’s what comes next:

Senator Dianne Feinstein has proposed the “Climate Change Education Act,” which would require—yes, we said “require”—all public school teachers to teach “human-induced climate change” to the captives in every school in America. Because, she says, the world is in “immediate danger” and the “evidence for human-induced climate change is overwhelming and undeniable.” This is one of those much less rare instances in which a Democrat does not tell the truth.

Meanwhile, one thing the public schools don’t teach is civics. The children who have been captured here literally do not know that the law, the Constitution, puts limits on what any government can do. They don’t know there are limits! So they “demand” the government take action, any action, whatever it takes, to stave off the imminent catastrophic end of the world, which they have been told—by Democrats—is coming in just twelve years. If it takes the imposition of a dictatorship, so be it. Otherwise we’re all gonna die. And they have been told that government can save them—if only it’s given enough power to do the job.

It’s a three-part plan. First, use the media to get the kiddies in a panic about climate change and the end of the world. Then, use the schools to drive the lesson home, day after day, giving out bad grades or even punishment to any kid who doesn’t drink the Kool-Aid. And then, ta-dah! Lower the voting age! Give these terrified children the opportunity to vote for the party that wants to stop climate change and save the world from destruction which is just twelve years down the road. Use your captives to swamp the sanity vote.

And if they still can’t quite impose their will, lower the voting age again. If 16-year-olds can vote, why not 14-year-olds? If high school students vote, why not middle school students? And don’t forget illegal aliens. A lot of them already vote, although it’s against the law. But surely they can persuade their captives to let them change that law.

The thing is, Democrats will do just about anything to get back into power; and once they’re in, they mean to stay. They do not intend for our republic to survive.

We’re going to have to work very hard indeed to keep our freedom.
