George Will is another smart guy who earns a good living by selling snake oil. The title of the article is about a GOP revival. However, the article has little to do with a GOP revival. Instead of suggesting ways that his political party can help to make government work, he attacks President Obama for putting climate change on his agenda. Most of the article is directed towards climate change denial. The rest of the article attacks the president for supporting green technology. The president said nothing about green technology, or any other approach to limiting carbon emissions. George Will simply rehashes the GOP message about the failed government investment in a green technology firm several years ago.
The Washington Post is one of our countries leading newspapers. It is unfortunate that it provides a platform George Will to misinform the public. His articles are syndicated nationally to small town newspapers in parts of the country that vote for his favorite political party. His brainpower would be better used if he directed his attention towards fixing the problems in his own party.
