Global warming isn't real. God told me.

I need an American voice on this. I know not all Americans are stupid, I know that deep down, but how do you explain an elected official like this? I mean, is there any sort of defense for this level of ineptitude being given a very real shot at running one of the core committees that will decide US policy concerning global warming? Because goddamn. |
We're American. What could POSSIBLY go wrong?

This thread reminds me of the creationists who don't believe we'll run out of fossil fuels because crude oil, coal, and natural gas is only -- at most -- 6,000 years old, so the planet will be able to make more in no time. We're not in short supply, why are we bothering with alternative fuels!?
This stuff is why separation of church and state exist, its just a shame that one of the fundamental rules of our government is ignored by, well, government. Seems people like this love to ignore science as well, because scientific fact has nothing on what a book says! I don't question people's beliefs, because hey, believe what you want. But when it starts affecting my own life, I feel the need to say something. It kinda bugs me how some people can blindly follow what a book says. For all we know, the Bible was written by someone doing some pretty heavy drugs back in the day, the town drunk picked it up and believed it to be true, and began spreading the word. Eventually some people believed it and bam, religion. But hey, thats just my thought on it. Believe in a higher power if thats what helps you along, but don't use a book's passages as an excuse to dismiss research. Ugh, must end rant. |
It's like the America that gets portrayed in media is intentionally zealous to one-up the extreme Muslim rhetoric. Both sides just become more and more... surreal.
As an American, all I can say from my personal perspective is that it's all one giant fucking circus, put on for the amusement, fear, pandering, and chuckles that the American people will put out. I really don't think these Congressmen and Senators believe the shit that falls out of their mouths. I can't possibly believe that. They're grasping at straws to keep big oil happy I imagine, and in grasping at straws, one usually invokes religion. Makes sense, doesn't it? (Maybe only in my warped mind :( ) On both sides of the fence, all you see are old white men riding large animals from far away places, while waving their hats, smelling like shit. No wonder the American population feels so alienated from Washington. It's a fucking mad house. |
Can you rely on a congressman to establish peace between a climate and an animal? If not, then ask your president.
