Yesterday’s asshat of the day was Colorado GOP gubernatorial candidate Dan Maes for revealing the UN’s secret plot to use bicycles to turn us all into commies or something. Dan Maes did a subsequent appearance where he explained in detail more about this secret plot:
The group to which Maes was referring, the International Council for Local Environmental Initiatives, is an association with more than 1,200 communities as members, half of which are in the United States. Denver became a member in 1992.
…
“This is bigger than it looks like on the surface, and it could threaten our personal freedoms,” Maes said in comments that were first reported Wednesday by the Denver Post.
Maes’ campaign said the candidate was illustrating the “larger picture of what this organization represents” and its “extreme” views on global warming.
Nate Strauch told The Associated Press that Maes was trying to say that the biking initiative is a “gateway program” being pushed by ECLEI on cities that eventually lead to extreme measures, such as the promotion of abortions and population control.
Encouraging people to bike to work is a slippery slope that will lead to abortions. I’m glad Dan Maes is here to warn us of this danger. Maes knows this sounds crazy, but he’s unafraid to tell you the truth.
Maes said he thought promoting more bicycling was pretty harmless at first, but he realized later “that’s exactly the attitude they want you to have.”
“It’s all part of this population control mentality that we as humans are the disease,” Strauch said, adding: “He never said that biking is inherently wrong.”
Dan Maes, true American patriot.
