[abSee] The planet has faced climate change forever and humans' pollution might not be to blame, Republican U.S. Rep. Paul Ryan said Monday during a debate against his Democratic challenger. Or again, they might.
Ryan, favored to win re-election to his seat representing GOP-leaning southern Wisconsin, faced off against businessman Rob Zerban for an hourlong forum that touched on world events, domestic politics and the economy. One of the sharpest differences came when the moderator asked each candidate if he thought human activity is to blame for changes to the planet's climate. All human activity is bad. Reflective cognizance is particularly onerous. We'll do your thinking for you.
"I don't know the answer to that question," Ryan said. "I don't think science does, either." Don't know? What you mean you don't know? They're snagging Salmon shoulder to shoulder in Kenosha. Lead treble hooks everywhere. People are contaminants too! Look at that row of porta-Johnies. Some are even peeing in cans. You can't rule them out entirely, even if you're a Wisconsin pub.

Besides, Congressman, even the Pentagon agrees global warming will be really bad. Someday. Soon.

I blame that big bright object in the sky observed during daytime. Of course there's nothing you can do about it and you just can't use it as an excuse to loot the sheeple of their resources and liberties.

I consider myself a libertarian but libertarians are nuts regrading the border. They want open borders and an end to the welfare state. Fine, but you've gotta end the welfare state first. That is madness.

Madness: the CDC will not allow US health care workers who treated Ebola patients mass transit but the welcome mat is still out at our border for random sickies from hot zones in West Africa.

Thanks Mullah. Having gone to your link and read what Ryan has to say I have confirmed my suspicions. He says "no amnesty" but then later he says he wants to give them a chance to "get right with the law". Instead of deporting them he wants to put them on probation. It's a croc of crap. He can be right about everything else but if he's wrong about amnesty it won't matter because his party will become a permanent minority. Morons like him have already lost states like California, New Mexico and Colorado. They are on the way to turning Arizona and Texas blue. When Texas goes blue this country is toast.
[DAILYSIGNAL] Republican politicians say the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency enjoys a "beyond cozy" relationship with a liberal environmental action group that seeks to reshape national energy policies in a way that would hurt American businesses and families.
Sen. David Vitter, R-La., the top Republican on the Environment and Public Works Committee, told The Daily Signal that the Natural Resources Defense Council played an "absolutely inappropriate" role in drafting the EPA's new carbon emissions plan.
"The EPA has been one of the least transparent agencies I have ever seen, but it's become apparent that their lack of transparency is to hide the influence that an organization so heavily focused on undermining U.S. businesses and families has at EPA," Vitter said.
Vitter and House Oversight and Government Reform Chairman Darrell Issa, R-Calif., have directed staff to look into whether the EPA broke federal law in developing the carbon emissions regulations.
Newly released emails between the EPA and the green group, Vitter said, show that the agency didn't push to "consider all stakeholders' opinions equally."

No 'transparency' required with the EPA. We know EXACTLY what they are about. It's the dismantling of American exceptionalism, American mining, commerce, and industry, same goal as the Champ.

I'm sure Harry Reid will have another tantrum on the Senate floor about the influence of the Koch brothers on elections and the political discourse.

Harry Reid is just pissed the Kochs won't give him any money. He hasn't figured out a way to extort it from them. After all, Koch Industries ranks 58th in amount of money given to political causes.
six of the top ten donors to political causes are left-wing unions.
Those unions are AFSCME, the NEA, IBEW, UAW, the Carpenters & Joiners, and the SEIU.
And who is the biggest political donor? The extremist, left-wing group ActBlue. In fact, ActBlue tops the list after being around for only ten years, a full 15 years fewer than the Koch brothers have been involved in and donating to politics. Yet ActBlue has topped the Kochs by tens of millions in that short period of time!
The other three donors in the top ten are communications giant AT&T, the National Association of Realtors, and Goldman Sachs.

It's OK for the soddies to pump oil and it's OK for the Chinese to burn coal but it's not OK for us.

In their debate yesterday Grimes kept going back to McConnel with, "The coal miners lost their jobs on your watch". Never mind she has supported each and every policy by Obama. Whatta tool.

Yeah, the Donks lie just as water is wet.
No surprise about the EPA and the greenies being cozy.
A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
