WHEREAS, Secretary of State John F. Kerry has suggested that air conditioners are as big a threat as ISIS, and
WHEREAS, it is the duty of our elected and appointed government officials to lead by example,
THEREFORE, we call upon the U.S. Department of State to remove air conditioning from all property that the Department owns, rents, or otherwise employs, including but not limited to embassies, consulates, office buildings, etc., all vehicles owned and/or operated by the Department, and any other property, real or movable, owned, rented, or otherwise employed by the Department.

I am currently ensconced in a lovely, oceanfront beach home on the NC shore. Even though it’s a balmy 95° to 100° outside, it’s a perfect 72° inside.
All would be perfect, but I’m surrounded by a herd of the wife’s in-laws...most of which are die-hard democrats.
Oh, did I mention it’s hot as Hades?
I think I’m gonna turn the A/C off and when these lousy Obama-voting, Clinton-loving, wine-sipping, cheese-eating purveyors of political misery start complaining, I’ll make them aware of Kerry’s pronouncement.
Lived in New Bern and had access to a friends ocean front home in Kitty Hawk for a number of years. We stayed there often.
It gets damn hot there. But oh so beautiful as well.
And family can be a PITA ... especially in the political season. Good luck with that.
I love it!
Sign the petition at the link folks...
Hahaha. This is great! Kerry should immediately stop using a/c in all his homes and cars.
Just force them to turn the air conditioning off. Then next administration will probably need it when they take over.
He may have - I don’t remember Obama’s call for that... I do however, very well remember Peanut Carter’s “fireside chat” TV speech with him in a sweater extolling the virtues of low thermostat settings and cold homes because as President he was not smart or courageous enough to do anything at all about the OPEC oil embargo. Carter was pathetic, stupid, and malaise inducing. Obama, Kerry, and Clinton are just evil.
It would be GREAT to see Trump’s Campaign seize on this, or Trump himself.
“Look at poor John Kerry. He says that Air Conditioning is more dangerous than ISIS (booo, booo, booo). No, he really said that. He said Air Conditioning is more dangerous than ISIS! (booo, booo, booo) They’ve got to go. All of them! They’ve got to go...”
Hoist by their own retard! ;)
The great state of Florida says “aye!”
Summers are wonderful here.

He has an air-conditioned cat ?
Signed it. We need 7 more to get to 100, when apparently something happens
I posted from my phone and it changes words on me, I need to reread before posting....supposed to be cars
Remove sir conditioning from every single one of Kerry’s properties-—his cars-—his vacation places. Remove all of his refrigerators & freezers, also. Let his food & medication spoil.
He is nuts. I don’t think Kerry can pass a 51-50 test.
“Bush’s fault!”
No way, the new mantra is: Here it comes, “TRUMP’S FAULT”
everything is Trump’s fault, at least until the election on 8 November 2016.
Remove air conditioning from all legislative offices in DC. And the White House. Historically, that kept legislators home during the warm/hot months and kept them from making more laws.
Air conditioning is for equipment survival, improving equipment MTBF (Mean Time Between Failure) and service life.
When all equipment can be MilStd and can tolerate 140 degree temps then you can remove the A/C. Of course the operators and users will all die of heat stroke within hours but they can be replaced. (/sarc)
"We can’t drive our SUVs and eat as much as we want and keep our homes on 72 degrees at all times … and then just expect that other countries are going to say OK."
Then, on his FIRST FULL DAY in the Oval Office, he was seen not wearing a suit jacket, and he had turned the heat up on a day where it was so cold that his children's school was closed.
Here's a quote from a report at the time:
"He’s from Hawaii, O.K.?" said Mr. Obama’s senior adviser, David Axelrod, who occupies the small but strategically located office next door to his boss. "He likes it warm. You could grow orchids in there."
I think it’s sporadic. My original sources were France.
