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.”

yes ... a demon has been loosed. This one will be worse, if there is such a thing.
This is one of the most single-minded threads that I have seen on FR. It has motivated me to start a ping list.
While you have been pinged (once and only once) you are not on the ping list. If you want to be on the ‘Official Anger Management Ping List’ please reply and I will add you to this list.
(Note of clarification: being on this ping list will not affect your ability to purchase a firearm in the future.)
stay classy, rats.
add...
Please add me to the “ Official Anger Management Ping List”
It has a nice ring to it.
They are all narcissistic psychopaths! That is why they all love Obama...he is them!! A perfect mirror to their own darkened souls!
I don’t want this anger ‘managed’..we should call it the righteous anger ping list!
no comment, except for agreement with penelopesire.
Rumor is, it was in a box next to the Indiana Jones Ark of the Covenant in that super secret Government Warehouse.
Agreed: Righteous Anger.
I don’t want this anger ‘managed’..we should call it the righteous anger ping list!
But we are managing it. Liberal scum ought to be glad we have such class and self control. Liberal scum ought also to hope we manage to continue having the same.
Dumber than a Box of Barbara Boxers, and that’s saying something.
I really don’t think anger management is the issue here it should be the Official Silence the Idiot Senator on Capital Hill list!
No one in their right mind would not show anger over the content of his dumbass rant! Anger is a natural thing, however the Courts think you should be pleasent when loss of life is used as a back drop for Stupidity!
Well...I did not do that well...fired off a curse filled tweet to him. Will probably be thrown in twitter gulag for that one.
Hmmm. I like it. Add me to your list.
But I prefer “righteous indignation” vs anger.
>”And the damage that your polluters and deniers are doing”<
Really? This guy can draw a straight line from the formation of a Tornado to “polluters and deniers”, really?
Thank goodness there were no Natural Disasters before the Industrial Revolution, oh wait...
A D-bag tries to make a specious and malicious point about “global warming”, widely misses and makes an ass of himself.
At least you tweeted him! I don’t have a twitter account. I get way too...outspoken,for such a thing. I don’t dare get on twitter. I’d probably be in the gulag well before you. LOL.
I wonder which days are soup and which are potatoes in the gulag...or would we have to eat hummus?
Please add me. Thank you.
I don’t wonder. I’ll say it loud and clear, they worship the enemy of God.
