Republicans Sneak Amendment Into Bill That Forces The Pentagon To Deny Climate Change
Politicus USA ^ | 7-15-2014

Posted on 07/15/2014 10:08:42 AM PDT by Citizen Zed

Ever since Republicans, and teabaggers, took control of the House of Representatives in 2011, they have revealed their corporate loyalties, hypocrisy, devotion to the dirty energy industry, religious opposition to science, and abject hatred of the people they were elected to serve. Of course, the list of who Republicans serve over the American people is endless, but those specific items were encapsulated in one amendment snuck in at the eleventh hour in the House Energy and Water Development and Related Agencies Appropriations Act that passed with undying support of the Republican caucus.

The amendment in question was inserted by Representative David McKinley (R-WV) who continued his anti-science, hypocritical, dirty energy devotion, disregard for national security, and hatred of his constituency that he began last May. The new amendment is similar to McKinley’s budget amendment in May that forbid the Pentagon from acknowledging climate change exists despite the Department of Defense’s annual warning that addressing climate change is vital to protecting national security.

There’s a lot of irrational hatred packed in to the 10 short paragraphs of this “commentary”.

I hope the author seeks and obtains the psychological help he/she/it/he-it/she-it so desperately needs.

I don’t know who the author, RMuse, is, but it sounds like he’s missing his gay partner. Poor guy.

That's good.
Military vessels and emergency vehicles should not be burdened with "green" fuel or other restrictions like that.
RELIABILITY should be the primary requirement.
Never mind how much black smoke they spew out.

Personally I think they could relax the rules for civilian vehicles also but this is a start.

That the libtards are blowing a gasket over this is a nice bonus.

When the Sun goes out, we'll have a climate-change problem; and ...

Not even the Sun can last forever.

“Ever since Republicans, and teabaggers, took control of the House of Representatives in 2011”

Republicans are at least as different from Tea Party conservatives as they are from Democrats and Communists.

Anyone who calls conservatives “teabaggers” is guilty of sexual harassment and should be subject to losing his or her job as well as paying civil damages for defamation and slander.
