Comment: The unwillingness for the zealots to compromise even in the slightest means a significant change in the old saw:  

It now reads, "My way or no highway!"

That's how it came out last Legislative Session and the attitude appears to be unchanged.

When you are on "God's Side" "Saving the World" from the apostates and the ignorati we go back to the Goldwater catechism:

"I would remind you that extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice!  And let me remind you also that moderation in the pursuit of justice is no virtue!"  

Substitute 'liberty' with 'the planet; and substitute  'justice' with 'environmentalism' and it all fits today's secular Church of the Intelligentsia.  

It thus reads:  

"I would remind you that extremism in the defense of [the planet] is no vice!  And let me remind you also that moderation in the pursuit of  [environmentalism] is no virtue!"  

Gott mit uns!
