Cory Booker Compares the Green New Deal to Fighting Nazis, Moon Landing, Marshall Plan 8 Feb 2019
Friday at a campaign event in Mason City, IA, Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ) compared Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) and Sen. Ed Markey’s (D-MA) so-called Green New Deal to fighting Nazis.
Booker said, “We have to deal with this. Our planet is in peril, and we need to be bold. It’s one of the reasons I signed on to the resolution. I co-sponsored the resolution for the Green New Deal. There’s a lot of people blowing back on the Green New Deal. They’re going, ‘Oh, it’s impractical, oh it’s too expensive, oh it’s all of this.’ If we used to govern our dreams that way, we would have never gone to the moon.”
He added, “We need to be bold again in America. We need to have dreams that other people say are impossible. We need to push the bounds of human potential. Because that is our history. When the planet has been in peril in the past, who came forward to save the earth from the scourge of Nazi and totalitarian regimes? We came forward. Who came forward to save the planet or continents from financial ruin? We came forward with the Marshall Plan.”

In one sense I am highly amused that Spartacus and Occasional Cortex think they can compare themselves to those who fought and won WWII, those who accomplished the moon landing, etc. What ego, what chutzpah that these insignificant nobodies think they have but to command and it shall be done.
On another note, I know I will never get my wish, but it would be nice if the MSM would simply ignore Occasional Cortex, who really, really does not deserve the attention she is getting. Yet the cameras record her every word and, despite her obvious ignorance of the real world, the press treats her as if she is some sort of savant. It's absurd.
How can the Democrats say they support border security when they also advocate for sanctuary cities?
ZitatRep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) is pushing for a debate on the substance of her “Green New Deal” resolution after her staff distributed an erroneous fact sheet regarding the proposal, leading to confusion over a plan supported by many of the Democratic Party’s leading candidates for president.
Ocasio-Cortez’s staff posted online and sent to reporters a list of “frequently asked questions” about the Green New Deal. Those pages included language and policies not included in the resolution itself such as providing economics security to those “unwilling to work” and ruling out nuclear power as part of the solution to the climate crisis.

None of the lawmakers or candidates signed off on the FAQ, which was prepared by Ocasio-Cortez’s staff to explain the separate Green New Deal resolution but was accidentally released prematurely with unfinished language.
“An early draft of a FAQ that was clearly unfinished and that doesn’t represent the GND resolution got published to the website by mistake,” Saikat Chakrabarti, Ocasio-Cortez’s chief of staff, wrote on Twitter on Saturday, two days after the document’s release. “Mistakes happen when doing time launches like this coordinating multiple groups and collaborators.”
What a crock. Nothing was said about the FAQ being erroneous until it met with well deserved criticism. So then the Party line became "Oh, that isn't what we meant. Heck, we were just spitballing ideas and somehow those ideas got issued by our office. Pay no attention to that man behind the screen."
Hard to believe people who think themselves capable of running our massive economy could make such a bonehead mistake.

Occasional Cortex is an example of the 'participation trophy' generation.
