Yes, yes, I know some say I shouldn’t, but I actually do scrutinize the Lefty blogs I’ve listed in my blogroll to the right and, just last night, I came across an interesting post in the Daily Kos. An author named Devilstower posted:
The forces of status quo and inertia scream at any request for improvement. Energy plans that could get the US to 20% renewables by 2020 have been called unrealistic. Reducing our national carbon footprint by any percentage has been challenged as too expensive.
But according to a new report from the UN, by 2030 the world has another daunting task: a 50% increase in the production of food.
World food production must rise by 50 percent by 2030 to meet increasing demand, U.N. chief Ban Ki-moon told world leaders Tuesday at a summit grappling with hunger and civil unrest caused by food price hikes.
Oddly enough (as the Daily Kos clearly supports Barack Hussein Obama and can’t wait for Hillary Clinton to simply Go Away — imagine that!), Mr. Obama wants the United States to step up to the plate (as clearly, to his way of thinking, the US has never managed to do that before in recorded history — uh, perhaps his mental recorded history and that of his wife Michelle) and spend $845 billion on the Global Poverty Act which, of course, seeks to eradicate global hunger.
But wait, let’s vent the hypocrisy and get at the core of the Left’s philosophy.
If they truly wish to continue with their current philosophy, then what’s good for Europe, the United States and essentially any western culture (and more specifically, Anglos) should be equally pleasant and equitable for the rest of the world.
If we find ourselves challenged to produce 50% more food for the world (and you know that task shall only fall to the aforementioned western cultures) then perhaps what we truly need is a 50% future death rate for non-western cultures — to be fair. The Left is, after all, all about “fairness” is it not?
If massive amounts of abortion — not just tolerated abortion but enforced abortion — should the Left have its way — seem acceptable for the West then I submit those same principles should find themselves into the acceptable category for the rest of the planet.
Hey, if we can insist on forcing limited reproduction on Anglo cultures, then why not everyone else? Wouldn’t that solve the problem? Look at San Francisco and Seattle: there are 40% more dogs in those cities than children! How wondrous is that?
Further, think of not only the food saved but the future carbon emissions as well, you Religious Lefties!
Sounds like a win/win to me!

Those religious lefties, as you so accurately put it (I remember that post) are killing more than babies. Evidently killing babies doesn’t give them enough satisfaction. They are killing this country in every way they possibly can. They refuse to allow us to drill for oil, they attack Christianity but mollycoddle Muslums, they don’t want to fight terrorism, and on and on and on! I’m angry too, BZ, but I’ll be darned if I know what to do about it.
Gayle, accurately written. They want what they want when they want it and everyone else and every other institution and common sense be damned.

We could increase food production in time provided the governments of the nations allow their farmers to do all they can and allow them to make a living at it. Probably won’t happen that way.
I have a better idea to stem world hunger. The US should stop giving food the countries who cant feed their own thereby forcing these countries to get their agricultural land producing food.
