RUTHFULLY YOURS

Democrats are determined to outdo one-another with one ridiculous proclamation after the next. Chief “Full of Bull” Warren promised to take money from those of us who paid for school to pay off student loans for millennial deadbeats. (I might agree to pay for 1/1024th of student loan debt if the students could name the three branches of government without using Google.)  Bernie Sanders wants to let the Boston Marathon bomber vote from prison (because it’s highly likely that psychopaths are Democrat voters); Kamala Harris (descendant of actual slave owners) and the whitest “Hispanic” anyone’s ever seen and Robert Francis “Beto” O’Rourke say they will take money from people who never owned slaves and give it to people who have never been enslaved. A bunch of Democrats passed late-term abortion laws in a handful of states with more to come, disgusting the whole nation. Now, New York Mayor Bill de Blasio, who is clearly positioning himself to join the ranks of the pandering Democrat presidential hopefuls, has issued the most absurd proclamation of all. He’s going to ban skyscrapers… in New York City.

“We are going to introduce legislation to ban the classic glass and steel skyscrapers that have contributed so much to global warming. They have no place in our city or our Earth anymore,” he spat into a microphone while several people standing behind him looked visibly confused and dismayed.

After checking to make sure I wasn’t being punked, I immediately ran to my bookshelf to pull down my well-worn copy of The Fountainhead by Ayn Rand, sure that this plotline was in there. I was right: “The age of the skyscraper is gone. This is the age of the housing project. Which is always a prelude to the age of the cave.”

It’s more than a little terrifying to follow their plan to its natural conclusion, which is everyone living in Hobbit hovels with only tallow candles for light. All this “green” panic accompanied by the Democrat War on Energy is leading back to the literal Dark Ages. Rand saw it coming. In a little known novella called Anthem, Rand wrote of a dystopian post-skyscraper world.
