Kool-Aid–Swilling Prigs Want to Ban Fast Cars

Posted by Van Helsing at July 11, 2007 11:03 AM

Next up in the long queue of enjoyable things authoritarian moonbat prigs want to take away from us in the name of the global warming hoax: fast cars.

Ferraris and Porsches may be banned in Europe within a few years for producing too much carbon dioxide, which has recently become a deadly toxin in the minds of the pathologically gullible.

Chris Davies, a British member of the European Parliament, wants a ban on any car that can go faster than 101 mph — which would include Al Gore III's Pious. Davies sniffs that fast cars are "boys' toys."

Doron Levin perceptively notes:

Proposals to limit carbon dioxide often sound like basic opposition to prosperity and rising living standards. […] Outside of a handful of command economies [North Korea, Cuba, Vietnam, etc.], few today would agree that a central authority ought to regulate who owns what. But attacking those who "waste'" energy achieves the same goal.

By some coincidence, there are those "who abhor sports cars as vulgar symbols of affluence" — so "such a ban could be a two-fer: Saving the planet while cutting economic inequality."

You don't have to scratch environmentalism very hard to reveal the envious, antihuman communism festering underneath.
