Democrats Want Greenest Convention Ever!

Greg Gutfeld comments on the Democrats' mission to pull off a green as it gets convention in Denver later this summer.

Gutfeld writes:

As the Democrats prepare for their convention in Denver, what do you think concerns them the most?

...Their big worries are fried foods, organic cotton and biodegradable utensils — in that order.

...And herein likes the joys of being politically correct. Instead of improving the country, you become obsessed with improving your image. I mean, forget Iran. What about those goat cheese wontons served to the delegates? Are they organic? Union made? Grown locally? And those capers better not have been trucked in from Canada — think of the emissions! And I certainly hope that duck sauce came from a free range duck.

In the desire to create the greenest political convention ever, the Democrats expose the party's two main weaknesses: no sense of proportion and no order of priorities.

...For the Democrats, this green obsession is the new patriotism. Because — unlike old patriotism — you don’t need to love your country, you just need to hate anyone who lacks a Prius. It’s easy and it feels good, like a sensual massage — but without the happy ending.

Well said.
