    "Pompous Little Twit"

    You've gotta love Greenpeace co-founder Patrick Moore's response to AOC's Green New Deal plan.

    Patrick Moore, the co-founder of the environmentalist group Greenpeace, ripped into New York Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortezover the weekend as a “pompous little twit,” saying the Green New Deal plan she’s advocating is “completely crazy.”

    In a series of tweets, Moore argued Ocasio-Cortez, who has called for drastically reducing fossil fuel production, doesn’t realize what would happen across the world if the radical plan were implemented.

    If fossil fuels were banned every tree in the world would be cut down for fuel for cooking and heating," Moore said in a tweet Saturday directed at Ocasio-Cortez. “You would bring about mass death.”

    Unfortunately she is a rising power in the Democratic Party and the Millennials in our country honor her and think she is a great leader so I wouldn't sell her short at all. But I do like to see Pelosi and those old heads squirm about her

    I look at the attacks from within her own declared party against a blatant socialist as a move to garner a core of moderates rather than loonies at the top of the news to prevent widespread abandonment of the Democrat party at the ballot box...Unfortunately for them, they have not cultivated many newsworthy moderates......Ben

    An astounding number of D’rats actually buy into what she spews. She is the face of the New Democrat Party.

    Ms. Cortez is noticing pressure from Congresstwit Ilhan Omar, D-Minn. as the two battle it out for top spot in the Somebody-Please-Shut-Her-Up contest being waged in the House...Ms. Omar has taken her seat as the resident Jew-baiter......Ben

    I don't think anyone expects the "green new deal" would ever be implemented but just a tool for opening up conversation for ideas. It's a moon shot in a world that hasn't invented rockets yet. So what, small minds laugh and degrade. I don't think the woman is a whack job. I think she's an idealist who hopes to contribute.

    Well ask the Dem Governor and Dem Mayor of New York what they think about her "contribution".

    Movin’ on up from barmaid to Marxist sage in one easy step.
    You have to laugh at people who find her ravings serious.

    Argue with her positions all day long, but to demean her for having worked a second job as a bar keeper and bar maid is a bit of elitism. It is not written anywhere in the Constitution that all members of congress must be lawyers.

    Further to that--I will suggest that her 15 point defeat of Crowley came about in a big way from his elitist dismissal of her and her candidacy. He went so far as to send a "second" to stand in for him at a scheduled debate.

    That kind of arrogance has a predictable outcome in a district like the east end of the Bronx.
