Will Grigg?s Liberty Minute

December 17, 2009

For decades, Former New Zealand Prime Minister Mike Moore has been in the vanguard of the international left. He is the former vice-president of the International Union of Socialist Youth and served as the director-general of the World Trade Organization.

Moore?s ?progressive? credentials are impressive, if only because they make his candor about the radical environmental movement so much more striking.

In a recent column for the New Zealand Herald, Moore observed that ?Green politics is officially a religion,? and a singularly fanatical one at that.

?I heard a member of the UN Panel on Climate Change say of the findings: `There can no longer be dissent,?? recalls Moore, who predicts that governments will soon enact legislation designating so-called ?climate denial? a species of hate crime.

The new eco-religion, Moore says, is akin to fanatical cults whose adherents ?end up burning books ? and building furnaces.? Sobering words from someone who knows whereof he speaks.

Let us take back the liberty wherewith Christ has made us free.
