Marco Rubio doesn’t believe humans are causing climate change


Senator Marco Rubio, darling of the Tea Party, is a man without substance; he does know about Climate Change, and understands it, but he's playing to his base that doesn't want government regulations. Rubio is a person who exploits circumstances to gain immediate advantage rather than being guided by consistent principles. Which ever way the political wind blows shapes this individual. He and Ted Cruz, a Machiavellian politician and boosted by the Tea Party, are similar but the Texas senator Cruz is more coldly calculating. Marco Rubio does not appear to have leadership qualities, and doesn't possess the characteristics that would appeal to mainstream America. In addition, Rubio, like Cruz, do not mean the American people any good and they're in office for their own personal political ambitions, nothing else!.....Certainly not to serve the people.

Triple Amputee Veteran’s “Screw You” Letter To Obama Goes Viral!

http://www.acidpulse.us/images/smilies/cheer.gif

Quote:
I nearly died in a war that you and most of your colleagues supported overwhelmingly, including the two presidents who came before you. Many citizens may not agree with waging war in Iraq to free the oppressed Iraqi citizens, but it’s something that warriors like myself have zero control over. I joined to serve my country and to better my life. I’ve seen things that you could never imagine, and they have made me the person I am today.

Mr. Obama, even though we share extreme opposite views, we have one thing in common, we both attended school in Hawaii. However, that’s where the similarities end. You see, as you attended your exclusive, private school, I would ride my bike to Kaimuki High school in one of the roughest areas in Hawaii every morning and would ride past Punahou, the exclusive private school you attended. I would notice the Bentleys, Maserati’s, and fancy foreign cars that all the kids were dropped off in; wow it must have been extremely rough in Hawaii living that life, right? I could only imagine what it was like to have that kind of money. Fortunately for you, not many people are aware of the school and the upper class citizens who attended it. The tuition to attend your exclusive, private school was more than it cost me to obtain a Bachelor’s degree in Architecture from the University of Arizona. You talk a big game when it comes to financial inequality, yet I’m quite sure you have no idea what it’s truly like to have sacrifice. You were one of the elitist children in Hawaii.

After High School, we each chose very different paths. You were able to attend Ivy League schools, and I sought out a military career to in hopes of earning a degree. What we have in life as children usually sets the tone for what we will face later in life that will make us successful. I worked to get where I am today, and YOU WERE HANDED IT….Mr. Inequality.

I volunteered to go to Iraq on both of my deployments, and the second time I begged to go even after I wasn’t selected, which ultimately got me placed on the team where I would lose both legs and my dominant arm. I’ve never asked myself was losing 3 limbs in a war worth it, even though many Americans were against it.

I am frequently reminded of the many young Iraqi children who would beg me for water, food, and toys while I was stationed in Iraq. Children, who in all aspects made the poorest of poor American children look rich. You have no idea what it really means to be poor. It’s laughable that you, who would have no idea what it means to be poor would so frequently play the inequality card.

While I was in Iraq, our mission was to liberate the Iraqi citizens from a tyrant and that’s what we did. Never forget, it was your people who sent us there, like the Clintons, John Kerry, Nancy Pelosi & Carl Levin. However, since the day you busted onto the scene you’ve been talking about ending the war and pulling the troops out, not understanding the blood sweat and tears that so many Americans and Iraqi’sinvested. And with complete disregard for every life sacrificed, every limb lost, and every broken family, you bailed on our mission to pursue an agenda that was completely centered on your re-election in 2012. If you didn’t bail on Iraq you were worried that you may not get re-elected and that’s a fact. Just before elections on Oct 11, 2012 you said “Al Qaeda is on the run and Osama bin Laden is dead.” Look at Iraq now, they are in shambles and the Al Qaeda flag is flying freely. Clearly, you’re unfit for duty as a Commander in Chief. You put your own agenda ahead of America’s agenda, and now you have single handedly ruined and destroyed nearly everything we gained in Iraq. It clearly means nothing to you, because the only thing that you’ve personally invested in that country was a promise to bail on them. However, people like me gave limbs, friends have died, and we’ve watched families destroyed by war’s aftermath.

I’m not placing blame on you for the war, I’m placing blame on you for destroying what we’ve worked so hard to build. You’re not a leader, you’re a community organizer. A leader would have stood up regardless of the situation and put America’s agenda first and that is ensuring a secure Iraq even after 10 years of war. But, you placed Barack first, just as Robert Gates confirmed in his new book. I can’thelp but think of those poor kids who I gave water and toys to 11 years ago. They’re probably 15 or 16 years old now, and I can only imagine what it’s like for them to have their nation being torn apart yet again; all because of your poor leadership qualities. Regardless of why we went to Iraq, its water under the bridge. We went there, we waged war, and we not only owed it to our KIA’s but we owed it to the citizens of Iraq. We invaded their country and turned it upside down, and you bailed on them. You bailed on our soldiers and you’ve wasted every death and every limb, it’s all for nothing. And to make matters worse you blame others for your failures.

You’re just another elitist rich thug who’s pretended to live the rough life growing up in the inner-city. You’re only worried about your own agenda and furthering your party instead of taking care of Americans. Your inability to be a leader at some of the most critical points has caused both of our wars to fail. You’ve been a joke to most of our veteran community and we have no faith in your ability to lead.

@Moment-in-Time,
You do realize that a lot of people do not think humanity is at fault for whatever it is you are calling it this decade. While we can accept the idea of climate change it cause is still in doubt. I myself do not think humanity is the driving force behind climate change.

This past weekend, conservatives took to the air, online and print to declare former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton as being responsible for the Nigerian terrorist group Boko Haram’s recent kidnappings. The logic was that since Mrs. Clinton didn’t designate the group as a terrorist organization during her tenure as SoS, Boko Haram was emboldened enough to commit these recent acts. Of course, this makes absolutely no sense when we look into it deeper. First off, Clinton placed three leaders of the group on the individual terrorist watch list while she was in office. Second, there were a number of legitimate reasons why the group was not designated in 2011 or 2012. Finally, the group was placed on the watch list in 2013 by current Secretary of State John Kerry.

Regardless of the illogical nature of the argument, conservatives have tried their best to run with this story as a way of smearing Hillary Clinton due to their fear of her in 2016. Right now, Republicans have no decent candidate to run in 2016 and it is looking more and more likely that if Hillary Clinton does indeed run for President in 2016, she will cruise to an easy election victory. Therefore, it is imperative for conservatives to publicly slander Mrs. Clinton at every opportunity, hoping something sticks. This is why Benghazi has become the number one issue for Republicans to focus on.

Former one-term Republican Congressman, and current Fox News analyst, Allen West took to his personal blog to write about the Boko Haram kidnappings on Monday. However, he took a different approach than many of his conservative colleagues. Rather than hammer Clinton for ignoring the group (he mentioned it, but it wasn’t his piece’s main focus), he instead stated that President Obama is using this recent event to distract everybody from Benghazi, among other ‘scandals.’ Below is an excerpt from the blog:

Remember the movie with Robert Deniro and Dustin Hoffman called “Wag the Dog?” Funny thing, that film was released just before the Clinton-Lewinsky kabuki dance and the infamous pharmaceutical factory bombing in Sudan by President Clinton (and by the way, Monica is back in the limelight thanks to an article in Vanity Fair – but I digress – or maybe not).

Are we witnessing an Obama “Wag the Dog” moment with Boko Haram in Nigeria? I say yes.

Consider all the scandals facing the Obama administration, especially Benghazi and the Select Committee, which Rep. Nancy Pelosi referred to as a “political stunt.” Really? Four Americans die, we’re told it was because of an anti-Islam video, no one has been “brought to justice” and THAT is a phony scandal and a political stunt? Boy, if this had been a Republican president, he or she certainly would never have been reelected because the media would have been all over it. Instead the media is doing everything possible to protect Obama.

So, perhaps Obama, Rice, Clinton, Reid, Pelosi, Rhodes, and the cast of characters can tell us why was Ambassador Chris Stevens in Benghazi on 9-11? Not to mention, why was he there without proper security, and who denied his request for security — and Libyan Islamist militia is not the answer.

We need to start at the beginning: why did we support Islamist forces in Libya in the first place? If it was a humanitarian crisis, then why not Syria? Or perhaps the intention all along was to support the Islamist forces in Syria as well?

If President Obama gave an order to Secretary of Defense Panetta and Chairman of Joint Chiefs General Dempsey to make sure those under attack got all the resources necessary — then why didn’t they get them? Or did Obama not give that order before he went to bed? And if it was given, who countermanded the order and told American forces to stand down?

Where are the weapons provided to the Libyan Islamists? Were we trying to collect and redistribute those weapons to the Syrian Islamists? And just as a last inquiry, why haven’t we heard from the 30 or so survivors of the terrorist attack? And who made them sign non-disclosure agreements precluding them from speaking about the incident?


This is sort of West’s thing now. He’s always been beating the drum on Benghazi. However, now everything is a distraction from Benghazi. Donald Sterling being accused of racism? Distraction. Revelations about General Patreus from a recent book? Distraction. Chemical weapons being used in Syria? Distraction. I am shocked we didn’t hear West claim that the climate change report released last week by the White House was a distraction to Benghazi, like some of his colleagues at Fox News claimed.

Anyway, it seems like West isn’t quite on the same page as some of his conservative brethren when it comes to Boko Haram. Many right-wing commentators want to use Boko Haram as a black mark with which to defame Hillary Clinton. West just sees it as yet another shiny object meant to distract us from the greatest tragedy and scandal that has ever occurred in the history of mankind, Benghazi. Not to tarnish a tragic event that led to the deaths of four Americans, but we’ve already had 13 hearings and 50 briefings that have included 25,000 pages of documents on this attack. How much longer do we have to keep parsing CIA talking points, non-existent ‘stand down’ orders and cartoonish expectations of our military’s capabilities before everyone just stands up and says, “ENOUGH IS ENOUGH?!?!”

@coldjoint,
You don't know what the **** you're talking about, little man.

First of all, purple hearts? Bullshit. Second of all this is not about VA benefits which I know a lot more about than you will ever know. This was not a war zone. You've never been in a war zone and I have. ******* vets is what you guys like you do when you cut our funding, cut VA budgets and close our hospitals. **** YOU very much.

White House Denies ’09 Fort Hood Victim's Request for Meeting With Obama
April 11, 2014

As President Obama spoke of old "wounds” at Fort Hood this week, the White House declined a request from a survivor of the 2009 massacre there to meet with Obama for a few minutes so the veteran could explain face-to-face how he believes the government has mistreated and disrespected the victims of that attack.

Staff Sgt. Alonzo Lunsford (ret.) was shot seven times in November 2009 when Army psychiatrist Maj. Nidal Hasan opened fire at Fort Hood, killing 13 people. Despite Hasan’s admission that he carried out the attack on behalf of the Taliban and revelations that he had been in contact with high-profile al Qaeda recruiter Anwar al-Awlaki, the Department of Defense has refused to classify the shooting as “terrorism,” which the survivors claim in lawsuit against the government has meant they’ve been denied Purple Hearts and combat-related benefits afforded to victims of other terrorist attacks.

“As you may know, the President and high-ranking members of the military promised me, my family and the other Fort Hood terror attack survivors that the federal government would 'make them whole.' After more than four and one-half years, however, the government has yet to make good on this promise,” Lunsford wrote to Obama’s Chief of Staff Denis McDonough a day before Obama's visit. “We believe that if the President could hear, first-hand, our plight and our mistreatment at the hands of his bureaucracy, that he would take the steps needed to set things right. Therefore, we ask for ten minutes of his time.”

The White House had announced days before that the President would be coming to Fort Hood this week to honor three people who were killed in another shooting earlier this month – this one carried out by an Army specialist with “mental health issues” who purportedly became enraged after an employee wouldn’t give him a leave of absence form.

“Part of what makes this so painful is that we’ve been here before,” Obama said at Fort Hood Wednesday, standing at a podium behind the boots, rifles and helmets of the three fallen, arranged in the same manner as 13 others in 2009. “This tragedy tears at wounds still raw from five years ago. Once more soldiers who survived foreign war zones were struck down here at home, where they’re supposed to be safe.”

Though he spoke of figurative wounds from 2009, Obama did not meet with Lunsford, who suffered actual wounds that day.

“After receiving your letter yesterday, and consulting with the White House Counsel’s office, we forwarded your letter to the Departments of Justice and Defense, who are leading the government’s efforts to ensure the victims of the 2009 shooting receive the justice and benefits they deserve,” McDonough said in a letter to Lunsford dated April 10, a copy of which was provided to ABC News by attorney Reed Rubinstein. “Unfortunately, we were unable to meet your specific request for a meeting with the President yesterday.”

Rubinstein, who represents Lunsford and other 2009 Fort Hood survivors in a pending lawsuit against the government, told ABC News earlier this week that the nature of the most recent shooting, and its contrast to the 2009 attack, shined a light on the “underlying fallacy of what the government has tried to tell people.”

“The idea that the [2009] Fort Hood shooting was workplace violence is a lie,” Reid said. “They know it’s a lie. Everyone knows it’s a lie.”

In documents, the Pentagon obliquely referred to efforts to reduce “workplace violence,” including self-radicalization, to prevent another shooting like 2009. In a statement to ABC News earlier this week, the Army said that evidence has shown Hasan acted as a “lone wolf” and that “investigations… concluded that Nidal Hasan committed criminal acts of murder and attempted murder.” It wasn’t terrorism, the Army said.

The Army defines terrorism as the “calculated use of unlawful violence or threat of violence to inculcate fear; intended to coerce or to intimidate governments or societies in the pursuit of goals that are generally political, religious, or ideological.”

The gunman in the most recent shooting, identified as Spc. Ivan Lopez, killed himself when confronted by military police in the midst of his rampage, military officials said. Hasan was found guilty of murder and has been sentenced to death.

Here's the Sgt's letter an the reply from the white house

@coldjoint,
Hey dumbass, I was talking about Winnie's racists remarks not Islam, your hatred of Islam is another type of bigotry. Like most bigots, you hate all sorts of other classes of people. Blacks, Moslems - whatever there is you can find room in your heart to hate them.
