While many Americans were tuned into news coverage of the massive damage from tornadoes ravaging the state of Oklahoma, Rhode Island Democratic Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse took to the Senate floor to rail against his Republican colleagues for denying the theory of anthropogenic global warming.
Whitehouse spent 15 minutes chastising GOP senators and justified his remarks by alluding to states that seek federal assistance in the wake of natural disasters.
“So, you may have a question for me,” Whitehouse said. “Why do you care? Why do you, Sheldon Whitehouse, Democrat of Rhode Island, care if we Republicans run off the climate cliff like a bunch of proverbial lemmings and disgrace ourselves? I’ll tell you why. We’re stuck in this together. We are stuck in this together. When cyclones tear up Oklahoma and hurricanes swamp Alabama and wildfires scorch Texas, you come to us, the rest of the country, for billions of dollars to recover. And the damage that your polluters and deniers are doing doesn’t just hit Oklahoma and Alabama and Texas. It hits Rhode Island with floods and storms. It hits Oregon with acidified seas, it hits Montana with dying forests. So, like it or not, we’re in this together.”

As I said, what these folks need is prayers right now and support.
Sure, I’ll be on the new Anger Management ping list
What are the odds.
Please include me, thanks
I’m speechless.
I've often thought if just a few of these scumbags were told why they were getting the shit kicked out them as it was happening, they might begin to see reality as it is. Not that I'm advocating violence.
If he had seen the TV show Sunday evening “North America”( about the same time as the tornado), he might have a clue. They explained the way that bad storms appear in that area every year!
Sheldon the, Idiot Stick, needs to bone up on his understanding of true Science.
My prayers are for the people in devastated areas of the Midwest and also those in Rhode Island, that have this A$$ as their gift to the USA!
God Bless America
the radicals on the left cannot stop with their politics.
Katrina a couple of Dems were heard exploiting the storm for political gain on a plane; using this storm or even withal this corruption and many want answers the radicals and fringe on the left at MSNBC were claiming it were a witch hunt.
They know damn well that if a republican had done all of this they would be pushing impeachment and not claiming a witch hunt.
Bumper stickers, slogans, marches and signs would be out as they push yet again their politics but if they were trying to get answers I would have no problem with it as wiretapping people, using the IRS to attack and destroy people giving guns to Mexican drug lords and letting Americans die is pure out and out chilling.
One of the first messages sent over Benghazi was how can they cover themselves, they looked at politics instead of the truth and when others now ask for answers they say it’s those people playing politics and sadly the media and the sheep which are one of the same repeat their crap.
As much as I hate the north east and trust me I do as I feel it’s another country the fact is that most of the north is republican. It’s the cities which destroy this country.
The yuppie elitist, the snotty arrogant types, the “I’m better than you” attitude, the welfare lazy layabouts, the white elitist who shout diversity and yet live in their lily white elitist utopia’s and then shout lets go green.
The ignorant masses of thinking their city should be how America should be.
RI, MI, is a perfect example. Take that crap hole of Providence or Detroit out and RI is mostly republican and conservative on social issues.
I think there are only a couple of states which are different to what I mentioned and that is MA and maybe CT
LOL!
Boxers is doubling down on this. It is becoming a new talking point.
We must sacrifice to the god of Al Gore so she will stop sending tornadoes.
One said: “The news streams out of OK are heartbreaking...”
The other said: “Oklahoma banned gay marriage and still had a tornado.”
Guess which one was a conservative and which one was a flaming leftist. Yeah, not hard to tell is it?
What is it with this anal sex crap the fringes left likes to keep bringing up, seriously they have to raise their queer, homo, social issues up all the time on everything?
it’s why I got my wife out of the north east.
Their arrogance and ignorance towards the rest of the country and anyone who does not get in step with their views bordered on a NAZI agenda.
They really think the country should be like them and if we don’t then they have to mock, silence, destroy and attack .
They are the most racist, bigoted, intolerant lot of people I have had the misfortune of coming across and I;ve lived in a few countries and various places in America.
Of curse this is not all the people but it is the majority.
Sadly these people move south and then still bring their views, votes, actions, and thinking with them
....”Sadly these people move south and then still bring their views, votes, actions, and thinking with them”....
Yes they do and and are quick to get involved in local politics....I’ve seen whole communities “change” because of the antics these people play on an unsuspecting community..ignorant of their devices. Especially smaller cities and communities........they are like cancer growths!
Manc...I am in Western Pa...and the rural areas or smaller cities generally are more conservative....but the cities here are fully blue and you can feel it in the air when you visit.
Thus I seldom go to the cities, preferring a more country feel and mindset....though my area could do with a few more “informed” individuals. Most are simply not interested in politics.
agree , I;ve seen these people , actually I just had one guy , an elderly guy who crossed over into the center lane , cut up traffic, cut me up, he ten tried to take a left on US-1 and couldn’t and then started shouting all everyone around him because he now nearly caused an accident and can’t drive here.
He was from New England.
As for them coming here and getting involved in local politics, agreed.
The amount of times I;ve seen the bored housewives come into a PTO etc or a school and try to change everything and try to bring their own agenda and views into the school is a lot., .
Some run for office, usually a small local office and work up to a county position
They then have a distain for those who are native and yes I’ve heard so many times them making fun of the accents, grits, confederate flags, hilly billys, have they got teeth, buck tooth, rednecks, dummies, backwards, inbreds, incest . etc etc etc
Course when they are around the natives they suddenly change their views and make out as if they are treating the locals with respect.
One kids party I went to was disgusting.
We took our son, our youngest about 4 years ago.
The woman was usually nice, good for a laugh, not snobby but that day we saw another side to her and since my wife has never spoken to her since.
She invited her gated community friends who had moved here from the north, she and her friends sipped their wine, twirled their glasses, and talked about designer clothes.
Of course the conversation got onto the south and that was it.
OMG how stupid are they, did you see how fat they are, how dirty they are, see their house, see them flying that flag, then they imitate the accents and stereotype southerners which would be done by Hollywood.
How the south has no decent clothe stores, no decent nightlife, restaurants, not cultured etc
Told the wife I was leaving and she agreed and not been back since.
I did leave a message for her and her husband after that too.
<...”Told the wife I was leaving and she agreed and not been back since.....I did leave a message for her and her husband after that too”....>
How did the woman respond?
Newbees here pretty much get ignored for those reasons...on a social level. But then they get involved politiclly and as you said, try and bring their twisted thinking into the communities.
never head anything from here since but I’m sure she still hanging about with her elitist pals from the new gated communities.
