H/T to Harvey at IMAO for this little "green" gem.
Annie Leonard is a former Greenpeace employee who has gone the Goracle one better and produced a video that manages to cramp more wrong information into a short video than His Holiness managed in an entire movie. Best part? This video has been ordered by over 7000 teachers, churches, and other organizations and been assigned viewing for students by hundreds of other teachers. The NYT reported that one kid subjected to this video was so effected by the video that he expressed guilt at wanting a new set of legos.
As one who holds the opinion that the echo chamber of the classroom for the last 35 years has been responsible for electing the most anti-American president in history, one shudders to think what this next generation of mind-numbed mush-brains will think is a responsible leader.
Like Harvey, I'm not going to dissect this one here, I'll leave that to the readers, but I will get the ball rolling with a quote from the video that hit me right between the eyes. Leonard says, "It’s the government’s job is to watch out for us, to take care of us. That’s their job."
Warning: If you require blood pressure medications you might want to make sure you've taken them before clicking on that little arrow.
For those of you who are interested in taking this one apart here's a link to an HTML version of the script: Commie Drivel
