New EU head a climate change denier

As goes the European Union, as must go its member countries, as we all know.

The EU has now appointed right-wing Czech Republic President Vaclav Klaus as its own head. Klaus has some rather, uh, interesting views. For one, he doesn't believe in climate change, despite the scientific consensus showing that climate change is real and caused by human activity. He claims global warming is a massive myth.

He also likens the EU itself to a communist country. One is reminded of American right-wingers who decried the U.S. government as too far to the left even after the Republicans had controlled it for years.

It's not as if conservatives haven't controlled the EU and made every effort to exert their power. Klaus succeeds France's right-wing President Nicolas Sarkozy. With Klaus's appointment, it appears as if 4 of the 5 most recent EU heads will have been at least somewhat conservative. And it shows.

The EU isn't communist, but it has become nearly a dictatorship.
