So. Here’s my response to Rhode Island Democratic Senator Sheldon Whitehouse, who took the occasion of the OK tornadoes to launch a political broadside against the GOP and those who don’t buy into the politically-concocted notion that human exhalation — that is, plant food — nor water vapor are pollutants that cause the earth to warm:
You are fucking loathsome. In fact, you’re worse than loathsome. Much lower. You are the fairground vomit of a redneck teen wrecked on Schlitz and chili cheese fries that gets caught unwittingly in the treads of loathsome’s $400 tennis shoes, then gets tracked across the interior of loathsome’s brand new Escalade and sat in by loathsome’s bitchy girlfriend.
The fact is, sir, that tornadoes and hurricanes and hail storms and blizzards and rock slides and avalanches and tsunamis and typhoons and volcanic eruptions and wild fires and all manner of other natural disasters existed long before the industrial revolution, and it is the height of posturing self-hatred (if you actually believe this garbage) or political cynicism (if you don’t, but find it useful to adopt the pose) to declare that humanity is itself a blight on the earth, that our failure properly to flagellate ourselves (and then pay you for the privilege of making that self-flagellation manifest in taxes and fees and carbon exchange schemes and global wealth redistribution plans designed by transnational progressivists to undermine individual and state sovereignty and secure global bureaucratic power) is the reason school children and others are dead in Oklahoma.
That you would so openly and publicly attempt to tether the death and destruction in the tornado belt to a particular political party is but one of the reasons the people in the US hold their “representatives” in such utter contempt. In fact, you are so beneath contempt that you’d need a fucking snorkel and several compressed air tanks to even approach the surface where contempt begins and your vile and frankly evil opportunism ends.
The Republicans’ stance — or the stance of anyone on anthropocentric global climate change — is responsible for the OK tornadoes in precisely the same way that your having been elected to the Senate speaks to your intelligence: that is, the two are wholly unrelated.
If you wish to cast around for blame, you might wish to start with the very earth and its atmosphere that you pretend your political party alone wishes to protect: because evidently, despite all your posing and hubris, she doesn’t much give a shit, and she goes along doing her thing just as she’s always done. And in the end, she’ll swallow you up in dirt and let the worms crawl through you, too.
On occasion, people die as a result of such natural disasters. Trying to legislate against weather is like trying to legislate against stupidity. And the fact that you are a Senator shows the futility in the latter.
If we had any real decency left as a society — and yes, I realize this will strike the PC crowd as counter-intuitive — we’d pull people like Senator Sheldon Whitehouse out of his cozy, taxpayer-funded digs and put him in some town square in stocks with a dunce cap fixed to his moronic, odious, malicious head, and invite anyone with a desire to to pelt him with rotten vegetables.
Fuck you, you cowardly sack.
Now. In response to the always repugnant leftist hack David Sirota and his offputtingly well-plucked metrosexual facade, who has used this tragedy to intimate that GOP cuts to spending for the National Weather Service are somehow culpable for the death and destruction in Oklahoma: are you for real? The Democrats spend and spend and spend and spend and print and print and print and print — Harry Reid, for fuck’s sake, stood on the floor of the Senate and told America about the real need for governmental spending on Cowboy Poetry Festivals — and we’re to believe that a country over 90 TRILLION dollars in the red, counting unfunded liabilities (read: statist promises to provide social welfare for people with money that they already spent elsewhere) is insufficiently funded when it comes to monitoring the weather?
Let’s say that’s true, even though we all know it isn’t. How about this for a solution, then: we get rid of the billions of dollars wasted on redundant programs; or the billions of dollars the government itself notes is lost to fraud waste and abuse; or the social welfare money we hand out to non-citizens; or the social welfare money we hand out to those who buy pressure cookers and nails with our tax dollars and then use them to blow up children and charity runners at a foot race?
And all that would take would be to get rid of posturing shitbag progressives like David Sirota, to remove them from office, to put an end to their constant attempts to divide and use bloc politics and taxpayer dollars to find client bases for votes.
As with everything in your despicable, self-important, self-aggrandizing life, Mr Sirota, this casual conjoining of the deaths in Oklahoma to a political decision to cut something, anything — all so that you can wave the bloody shirts in the hopes of shaming people into agreeing to spend well beyond their means, all so you can pretend that you are more “compassionate” than the adults who understand that economics doesn’t succumb to the leftist desire to create reality from will and manufactured consent — is what defines people like you: you are petty, opportunistic, shameless. You are a social parasite who cynically makes his living off the essential goodness of the American people, preying as you do upon their readiness to feel guilt, to believe that if they had only done something (and you’ll be there to tell them what that is, be it pay more in taxes, build more bullet trains, fund more Solyndras, provide more taxpayer money for grants given to those looking to deligitimate the very system that makes their comfortable livings possible), no one in OK would have died, that the earth would have bent to your will and technocratic genius, that the tornadoes wouldn’t have stood a chance against your collectivist social engineering schemes.
You are a charlatan. And a loudmouthed punk who stages his outrages for maximum exposure.
In short, you are a pathetic man propping himself up and shining a light on his own self-loathing — disguised as social activism — in the hope that nobody sees the rumpled, sad, clownish and petulant child that lives inside you.
So fuck you, too.
In the squeakhole. Sideways. With a frozen loaf of artisan jalapeno cheese bread.
I am done feeling any kind of guilt or shame. And no, I don’t worry what “independents or moderates” may think of my reaction: it’s those dullards who keep us flush with the Pelosis and the Reids and the Sheldon Whitehouses of the world in positions of power or influence.
It’s long past time we put an end to this social dynamic that provides the world be turned into a perpetual re-run of Revenge of the Nerds.
There’s nothing hip about statism. There’s nothing transgressive about agitating for surrendering to an overreaching government and its lust for tyrannical control over subjects.
And there’s nothing at all in David Sirota’s soul worth salvaging. He’s a fucking punk who once got in the face of an older conservative during a debate and got off on the charge it gave him.
I do so hope that one day he does the same thing to me.
Meantime, I’ll just have to be content to (virtually) piss on him. And not because he’s on fire. But rather because he’s not.
It’s a good thing ol’ Sheldon wasn’t here in person. Watching the live feed of the victims leaving what was left of their homes yesterday, almost every family I saw was carrying long guns in slings and handguns in cases along with their wheelie suitcases.
I double dare Whitehouse to come here and diss the GOP.
Just Be Nice™

Near the end of this article, a list of the deadliest tornadoes in U.S. history:
http://t.co/tsJseB78gn
Top three:
695 deaths. March 18, 1925, in Missouri, Illinois and Indiana.
216 deaths. April 5, 1936, in Tupelo, Mississippi
203 deaths. April 6, 1936, in Gainesville, Georgia
You can of course chalk up the body counts to lack of preparation, but still: a storm has to be pretty powerful to take out that many people.
in precisely the same way that your having been elected to the Senate speaks to your intelligence: that is, the two are wholly unrelated.
Stupidity can be cured through education.
This jackhole doesn’t lack intelligence; he lacks a soul.
God Himself can’t cure that.
CNN mostly just reduced the tornado to campy disaster porn mostly involving chris cuomo prancing around in a spiffy new windbreaker
then they trotted out their little food stamp slut president and he made some half-assed noises about how we all have to come together or whatever
he’s not really an oklahoma person you could tell
Reminds me of all those Lefties blaming hurricane Katrina on Bush for not signing the Kyoto protocol, as if a piece of paper could prevent naturally occurring weather phenomena.
Would someone please ask super-science genius Whitehouse to explain how this works, you know, give us some metrics we can work with such as: N% reduction in carbon emissions = N% reduction in tornado activity.
Also, could someone please ask Sirota to provide an actual number for what he believes to be the proper amount of funding for the National Weather Service (i.e., “more” doesn’t count)? Wait – first ask him to tell us their current budget is and how it is spent. I’m sure there’s no waste on things like attending global warming conferences in Bali.
Rotten to the core Jay Carney hides his master behind a pretense of ethical conduct regarding the persecutions conducted by the IRS. It was “all hands off deck!”: no recognition of wrongdoing could possibly be commented on for the possibility that any comment would be construed as politicized meddling. Ha! The White House, so goes this argument, cannot tell right from wrong, but must wait to hear from an IGs audit before making any definitive declaration.
Yet, for purposes of ethics, one might think any mere pretense would be more apt to damage ethical behavior, rather than bolster it. Who says they cannot tell right from wrong without being told, we might thing, would be incapable of instructing anyone on ethical conduct.
We can suppose so shallow and manipulative a man as Jay Carney (to say nothing of his master here, who reigns supreme in pretense, without reasonable demur) cannot see how his efforts may contribute to his own undoing. He follows rules. He cannot think them through.
Carney says “we” a lot. I suppose he has a mouse in his pocket? Or is he referring to his imaginary friend?
Glad to see you here, leigh. Everything good where you are?
Dead Solid Perfect, Jeff.
More & more shit. PhD.
Thanks, Darth. Yes, we are fine. The tornadoes were about 200 miles from us. We were in the potential path if it were fast, but we get a lake effect from our lake and it split apart and went north and east of us. We just got rain and wind.

695 deaths. March 18, 1925, in Missouri, Illinois and Indiana.
That would be the Tri-State Tornado.
About a mile wide (estimated as F5), and traveling from 60 to 70 miles per hour for some 219 miles (or more). That’s like a 3 hour monster tornado!
Nature is scary.
Maybe the NWS should spend its money on WEATHER instead of CLIMATE
God bless you and yours leigh.
What’s needed is for the NWS’s parent agency (NOAA) to stop lying to Congress about the service’s budget.
NOAA is more into that climate bullshit. Them and TWNBC, which is not a government agency except insofar as NBC kneels before Leviathan.

A Senator like that is why I need to get the hell out of RI. Don’t get me started on my idiot Governor.
However Whitehouse’s election does speak directly to the intelligence and utter depravity of those who elected him.
Another blue state by the water. The sound of the waves must be driving them bat shit crazy.
What saves lives in weather emergencies is early warning systems. And i know for a fact that the US Government was flush with enough authorized grant money to provide early warning sirens to every volunteer fire company in the nation. All you had to do was apply. There was maybe a 10% match requirement but that could be with in kind labor.
Forgot to mention that OK lawmakers not only voted against disaster relief for Sandy, but turned down disaster money in their own states. Because #freedom
“OK lawmakers not only voted against
disaster relief for Sandydemonrat slush funding,“but
turned down disaster money in their own statesasked that new spending be offset by spending cuts elsewhere in the budgetThe OK Senators could have voted to quadruple disaster spending and it wouldn’t have made a difference.
Money solves every problem, wingnuts.
Guess what, Dalek? Our governor just lowered our state income taxes and we have a surplus in the state budget, including a huge Rainy Day fund to cover this sort of thing. No one is belly-aching about the lack of Federal Aid, either. In fact, FEMA can go the fuck home since we’ve got it covered, thanks. Give some blood to the Red Cross, if you have any.
Nicely said, leigh.

Thanks, bh. I’ve had it with tools like him and his ilk. He doesn’t even have enough talent to concern troll.
propaganda slut Liz Halloran at National Soros Radio fails to mention how the porky porky chris christie bill that the Oklahoma senators had the grace and intelligence to vote against was larded up with pork
she’s a reporter kinda like how food stamp’s bitch is a certified nutritionist
Only Federal Government Money solves every problem, wingnuts.
The amazing thing is, everyone is pulling together: cleaning up their properties, helping each other out, talking to pesky reporters about how blessed they are that their families are alive or if they’ve lost loved ones, people are pitching in to help with funeral expenses. They are talking about rebuilding the schools and their homes. People lost everything material that they owned and they are starting over and not waiting for FEMA to bring them a trailer and a wad of cash.
What a bunch of wingnuts.
“the saint” tonite features the story line: “the miracle tea party”
What is it about DC that makes you think money works better when you send it there first? Do you not understand the whores and leeches that reside there?
It thinks it is being ironic, failing to appreciate the real irony, which is that the people in Oklahoma are exercising their freedom to help people face-to-face like good #citizens.
One has to have a clue what “freedom” is to be able to use the word ironically.
@dalek: Oh, thanks for noting another ghoul that needs to be held in utter contempt.
(That ghoul would be yourself, in case you haven’t figured it out.)
Oh, hey: Freedom.
(…and dalekhelper won’t get it.)
Federal money has been blessed by the High Priests of Socialism. It’s like their version of transubstantiation.
Federal money demands to take a chunk out for a tithe and carrying costs. When you send emergency money through 50 layers of management instead of directly to the recipients, it take more time and sticks to more fingers. That, Outlaws, is some Dalek-style Free-dumb.

No, what you’re seeing there is a breeding program by Father Dagon and the Deep Ones. Helen Thomas is a fine example of the physical manifestations.
Dalekhumper, you are crossing the line into thor territory. He had the good fortune to leave. Just sayin’.
Oh, and it should be noted that Glenn Beck has done way more in way less time to bring actual help to OK than the Feds have managed….
Which is par for the course: charitable conservative godbotherers outperform the Left’s religious institution.
The good senator is playing the “ignorance” card…
Bravo, sir.
I find it remarkable how closely the religious AGW fanatics mirror the behavior they claim to despise in the Jerry Falwell types; namely, their propensity to blame natural disaster on the huddled masses’ failure to bow and scrape at the altar. The message both types promote is, “God smote us (you) for our (your) sins.” The nature of the sin is the sole distinction.
Last April, in the most devastating outbreak of tornadoes ever recorded, 148 twisters killed more than 300 people and caused half a billion dollars’ worth of damage in 13 U.S. states.
To scientists, these seemingly disparate incidents represent the advance signs of fundamental changes in the world’s weather. The central fact is that after three quarters of a century of extraordinarily mild conditions, the earth’s climate seems to be cooling down.
Newsweek, April 28, 1975.
And they go on!
Climatologists are pessimistic that political leaders will take any positive action to compensate for the climatic change, or even to allay its effects. They concede that some of the more spectacular solutions proposed, such as melting the Arctic ice cap by covering it with black soot or diverting arctic rivers, might create problems far greater than those they solve. But the scientists see few signs that government leaders anywhere are even prepared to take the simple measures of stockpiling food or of introducing the variables of climatic uncertainty into economic projections of future food supplies. The longer the planners delay, the more difficult will they find it to cope with climatic change once the results become grim reality.
So, no matter what the weather does, it proves both global warming and global cooling. No wonder the solution for both is the same: bigger government.
