DemCong Kleptomaniac Gorebeciles Steal More Funds to Fund Their Church

Thanks to LCs Jewells52 and Aubyn:
WASHINGTON - Top intelligence analysts are diving into the politically sensitive issue of climate change, but some Democrats in Congress are demanding even more.
The House Intelligence Committee approved a provision late Wednesday as part of a spy budget bill that would require the National Intelligence Council to produce its highest-level assessment — a National Intelligence Estimate — specifically on climate change.
So we’re going to strip our already underfunded intelligence gathering programs so our spooks can go spy on Mother Gaia to see what she’s up to?
Wow, that has to be the most singularly stupid thing we’ve heard of this week and, considering what comes out of the DemCong these days, that’s saying rather a lot. We were under the impression that intelligence is a rather valuable commodity, particularly during a time of war or, for that matter, it would’ve been nice to have more of prior to, say, 9/11, but obviously the DemCong don’t think it’s near as important as trying to figure out what that great, glowing ball in the sky might be scheming to do behind our backs. Inasmuch as they and their Church of the Goreacle has even acknowledged its existence, something that is far from clear at this time.
The bill, which the House could take up next week, calls on analysts to study the political, social, agricultural and economic risks associated with climate change over the next 30 years.
Republicans rejected the endeavor as an unnecessary distraction from higher priorities.
Yet the Office of the National Intelligence Director said it has begun working on the national security implications of climate change.
“The intelligence community necessarily explores a number of long-term issues that may have an effect on U.S. national security, including potential national security implication of global climate change,” spokesman Ross Feinstein said in a statement Thursday.
Oh, so they’re not going to spend scarce resources on studying the climate, they’re going to waste them on studying what as of yet unknown and quite uncertain changes might possibly mean for areas that, as far as we know, are already covered by other agencies. Beats having to do what they’re actually hired to do, we suppose.
The research, an intelligence official said, will not address the scientific foundations of global climate change scenarios. “That determination will be left up to the scientists,” said the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity about internal policy issues.
Among questions that some are asking: Will drought and weather changes create mass migrations that could threaten governments? Will U.S. military bases be affected by rising sea levels?
Wouldn’t it make sense to see if the seas are actually rising first? We mean, if that’s the only threat we’re facing currently, then by all means, but don’t we have more imminent and demonstrable actual threats to deal with? Like, we don’t know, those people running around blowing up our soldiers and civilians? We forget what they’re called since the name has been banned by the MSM in favor of “militants”, but we’re sure you know who we’re talking about.
In a statement, Michigan Rep. Peter Hoekstra, the House Intelligence Committee’s top Republican, questioned Democrats’ intelligence priorities, saying the report would divert scarce resources to study global warming.
Pish-posh. That’s not true at all. They’re not studying global wormening, they’re studying the possible effects of a problem that nobody has a clue as to the magnitude or existence of. See? Much better.
Republicans, he said, worked to focus on terrorists, rogue nations and U.S. enemies.
Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., went a step further, sponsoring an amendment to prohibit “environmental spying.” The proposal failed.
“Our government should not commit expensive spy satellites and human intelligence sources to target something as undefined as the environment,” Issa said.
Next, we’ll have the National Guard ordered to measure temperatures, fly weather balloons and print promotional fliers for “An Inconvenient Truth.”
Idiots.

Caught the Glenn Beck “Exposed” show wednesday night which, as far as I know, is the first time “official” American television ever dedicated any unqualified coverage to the other side of the AGW debate.
And over lunch today, I saw a bumpersticker that said “Save the Planet: Vote Democrat”. Which is truly what these people think they’re doing, and clearly what most the people who voted for them expect them to do. Of course, they voted based on Al Gore’s slideshow (and the rest of them voted on Bush Lied Thousands Died).
Of course, I had another bumpersticker made, paraphrasing Mark Steyn: Life is Not a Bumpersticker — which these people would do well to take heed of.
It appears to me that there is more and more of a concerted effort to get us all to fall in line and believe the dogma. It’s reaching a shrill crecendo. The skeptics just won’t go away!!!! (*pout*) Mommmy!!!!
But as one of the guests on Beck pointed out the other night — the one thing skeptics wish people would google is: Temperature lags CO2.
CO2 does not drive temperature. Theory says it might — data says it doesn’t. The data says the theory is wrong. And that’s what the AGW theory is — a theory that CO2 is a significant driver of temperature. It is obviously not. In fact, it is quite the other way around. The same ice core data Al Gore touts shows this (why do you suppose he separated the lines in the graph in the movie, rather than superimpose them? That would be one plausible reason!)
To have intelligence agencies going about doing what many others have done, perhaps it should be looking for … I dunno … terrorist activity?
Maybe they need something to do now that they’re not actually allowed to do anything like intelligence — because surveillance has been outlawed.

Don’t be silly - we don’t need intel for the war because “The War Is Already Lost” - making any intel on it superfluous.
We didn’t need any intel prior to 9-11, because “The Government Staged 9-11 To Start An Oppressive War For Oil.” - making any associated intel pointless.
So clearly, what we need to be paying attention to (rather than oppresively spying on the harmless adherents of the Religion of Peace) is the MUCH MORE REAL THREAT of Global Warming and how it IS affecting other things because it IS happening, about which there IS NO FURTHER DEBATE ALLOWED!!!11!!
There, do you feel better now that you understand?

That should read Hoekstra questioned Democrats intelligence. Period.

Jewells52 beat me to it–it’s not their intelligence priorities that need questioning, it’s their intelligence–and their patriotism, while we’re about slaying shiboleths. I’d like to strongly suggest that we quit honoring AlBore’s idiot chicken little fantasy with names that sound like the original and harken back to an earlier, more direct address to his dimwittery–call it what it really is–ManBearPig. For those of you who, quite rightly, consider South Park disgusting and symptomatic of American cultural decline, that particular episode is nonetheless well worth watching, getting friends and family to watch and generally spreading as far and wide as possible so that the derision heaped on AlBore by poorly drawn paper-cut out animated pre-teens will be the first thing that pops into even the lamest vidiot’s head when they hear his name or his silly tripe–ManBearPig–I’m super-serial!

Being in the Navy, I have a vested interest in rising sea levels.
I normally agree with you, Misha, but you’re missing the point on this one.
You see (and I shouldn’t have to point this out) our warships are IN THE FREAKING OCEAN! If sea levels rise enough, pretty sure our ships will be underwater!
I hate having to point out the obvious.

Oh, they work automatically from your blog, my friend. It’s just that they’re automatically caught in the moderation queue because of the enormous volume of “spambacks” from other sites.
Once I or somebody else in Management get a chance to approve it, however, it shows up right away :smile_wp:

These morons are trying to strip away legitimate duties of government (such as national defense), and turn it into a damn overbearing evil nanny from hell. Not to sound like a conspiracy freak, but it almost seems like a stage is being set to introduce “environmental crime legislation”, where spying on private citizens is going to be commonplace, for the sake of the planet of course.
May 4th, 2007 at 5:35 PMSo, hell, I’ll be the first in line to the re-education camp as it is. I hope these fuckers deem nitrous as a potential contributor to wormening. Then I could have some fun with them. Bring it bitches–but ya gotta catch me first! :smoke_tb:

Let’s remember that the lefties have had their heads SO far up their asses for so long, oxygen deprivation has made them believe that there’s NO War on Terror. SOOoo,… Glowbull Wormaning is now the biggest threat to mankind coming from the evil VRWC, so they’ve gotta do whatever they see as necessary. Let’s not forget that THIS is the party that has nothing to offer but fear itself. You hear these stories of kids being unable to sleep at night because of the worry about glowbull wormening, but in the ’80’s the mainstream snooze media snothead lackeys were spouting the same thing about nuclear war during the Reagan years, and of course, it was Ronald Reagan the Great’s fault, or at least according to those mealworm-heads! Shit on ‘em all!

I’ve said before that the Democrats have to invent strawman “threats” like global warming to fight, because they are fundamentally incapable of dealing with the actual threats we face. Having our spy agencies take time out from pursuing America’s real enemies to look for sunbathing polar bears, in order to help the Donks’ domestic political agenda, would be the logical next step for them…even if it doesn’t make a lick of sense to anyone with two brain cells to rub together.
Not that anyone with a lick of sense votes Democrat, anyway…
No doubt the Democrats will next direct NSA and CIA to start monitoring conservative talk radio. If nothing else, Rush Limbaugh should be an easier target for them to find than Saddam’s missing WMDs or Osama.

Why can’t these moronic whiners worried about the supposedly dangerous levels of CO2 in the atmosphere just kill themselves off?
That would accomplish two things at once:
1) That much less CO2 would be generated by them gone…
2) The collective I.Q. of the planet would skyrocket upwards…
Just imagine a world without liberals… Then we wouldn’t be seeing drivel like the following being foisted off as news: Study finds lapses in battlefield ethics

Oh well, at least they’re not trying to make the CIA “discover the imminent threat” of global warming, too.
They’re just trying to make the CIA file reports assuming the apocalypse is imminent.
Congressional Republicans should offer to unanimously support the measure, provided research funding is also provided for projecting the possible stability-threatening effects of The Rapture, a comet hitting the Earth, and the event of an alien invasion; three other things that we have just as much control over as global warming.
