Today, we live in an unusually cold period in the history of life on earth and there is no reason to believe that a warmer climate would be anything but beneficial for humans and the majority of other species. There is ample reason to believe that a sharp cooling of the climate would bring disastrous results for human civilization.
Humans are a tropical species. We evolved at the equator in a climate where freezing weather did not exist. The only reasons we can survive these cold climates are fire, clothing, and housing…It is “extremely likely” that a warmer temperature than today’s would be far better than a cooler one.”
—Dr. Patrick Moore – Feb. 25, 2014 testimony before the U.S. Senate Environment & Public Works Committee
Back in the day, when candidate Jeanne Shaheen was parroting the Democrat party line in Iraq and Afghanistan, we had good wars and bad wars. We had daily body counts, anti-war protests, and something called expensive and unnecessary Defense (or military) spending.
Children, women, families, roads, schools, didn’t we all suffer as a result of those mixed up priorities. I know I didn’t. But there was a lot of talk about it. A lot of talk.
In the age of Obama, the first part of which had a sidecar with a Democrat majority House and Senate, these staples of candidate and media excess vanished. There were still war dead, and we continued to spend, you just didn’t hear about that, until –Oh, I don’t know, how about right now?
How much has the Federal Government spent on National defense, and the military in particular, during the tenure of New Hampshire Senator Jeanne Shaheen?
For the purpose of this exercise the years of GWB’s warmongering, and these numbers include defense budgets and then just the military portion of that total, are calculated from 2002-2009. Eight budgets worth. And yes, Obama was the man in 2009 but we’ve given that first year to Bush, because Obama did kind of inherit that, but remember– it was passed by an entirely Democrat majority congress.
Shaheen gets credit for 2010 through 2014, five years worth of outlays.

A number of Democrat Senators in key 2014 races appear to be ‘over-paying’ the men who work for them. Why else would the women in the same jobs be making less? Mark Udall pays women 91 cents for every dollar that a man makes. Mary Landrieu pays women 88 cents for every dollar that a … Read more
Democrats do believe in at least one right to self defense. The right to defend fat public pensions.

I think income equality starts with the people in government, most of whom make way too much money and have far too many incentives to milk the taxpayers and the system dry without fear of repercussion. People should not be getting rich from elected office, period.
The answer (maybe) is to ensure the job of an elected or appointed official has few or no fiscal incentives that are not somehow tied to the effects their policies have on those they claim to represent.
So here are a few wild and outlandish suggestions to begin the process of achieving Income equality with the d-bags in DC.
No one in congress should be paid more than the national average annual income of the private sector that pays their salaries. (A similar methodology should be worked up for the other branches of government.)
No pay or benefits for life for elected or appointed officials after they leave office regardless of the job or years served.

…at any moment now we should see outraged liberals unleash an avalanche of legislation at the state and federal level placing restrictions on heel length, how many sets of shoes you can own, nights out, boyfriends, arguments, drinking, and while we’re at it, the month of June.
HOUSTON (Reuters) — A Texas jury found a woman guilty on Tuesday of beating her boyfriend to death with a 5-1/2-inch spikeheeled stiletto shoe during an argument after a night out drinking in June. Prosecutors said Ana Trujillo, 45, stabbed University of Houston professor Stefan Andersson, 59, about two dozen times in the face and head with the shoe.
We noted the curious actions taken by Pennsylvania’s Democrat Attorney General, Kathleen Kane. Kane refused to charge a number of Democrat officials including a judge and four state legislators, all caught on tape accepting bribes in exchange for votes or other ‘favors.’ Kane claimed that federal officials agreed with her, that the case was flawed … Read more
