FLORIDA CLIMATE CHANGE DENIAL

Denouncing "job-killing legislation," the Republicans repealed former Gov. Crist's climate law, disbanded the state's climate commission and eliminated a mandate requiring the state to use ethanol-blended gasoline. Asked about climate change recently, Republican Gov. Scott demurred, saying the state has spent about $130 million on coastal flooding in his first term, as well as millions on environmental restoration.

I say we should ask Gov. Scott what he thinks about spending all of that taxpayers money on things he claims doesn't even exist. Puzzling isn't it ?

I just cannot figure out how to make up anything more ridiculous than this.

GOP’s quiet Obamacare disaster: How this week’s biggest story got overlooked

NO SUCH THING AS A GOOD TERRORIST

You just have to sit back and take a deep breath when you hear Republicans complain that President Obama has released five bad terrorists. There is no such thing as a good terrorist. 

In fact, actually, President Obama has released 88 bad terrorists from Guantanamo.

Now the reason for the deep breath exercise is this :

PRESIDENT GEORGE W. BUSH RELEASED 526 BAD TERRORISTS FROM GUANTANAMO !

NEWS FROM THE BEYOND ( INSERT EERIE MUSIC HERE )

Appoint Special Committee for Benghazi because all the questions have been asked and answered but we don't understand the answers. ( Speaker Boehner )

Get pissed because you have been left out of the Special Committee and sabotage said committee by releasing critical, before now unknown, items of interest. ( Rep. Issa )

 First call for the freeing of our soldier Bergdahl from the clutches of the Taliban by trading prisoners, then when that is accomplished go on Fox News and proclaim that the President has traded the wrong terrorists. ( Sen. McCain ) 

Go to briefing on the circumstances surrounding said soldiers release, leave the briefing early, get on Fox News to complain that you didn't learn anything. ( Sen. Chambliss )

Suggest that Soldier Bergdahl's release was, although in process for months if not years, was actually scheduled to keep newspapers from putting the VA scandal on the front page. ( Gov. Perry )

Excoriate the First Lady Michelle Obama for trying to help get our children physically fit and enabling them to eat healthy food at school. ( just about every Republican out there )

QUOTES FROM THE RIGHT, UNEDITED

RYAN ZINKE

Ryan Zinke, a former Navy SEAL and state senator who is now running for Congress in Montana, said during a campaign stop this week that he is worried the country is losing sight of the real threat to the nation: Hillary Clinton.

“We need to focus on the real enemy,” said Zinke on Monday, referring to Clinton, according to the Bigfork Eagle. He also called the former Secretary of State the "anti-Christ."

MICHELLE BACHMANN & STEVE KING

“He may think he is king, he may declare he’s a king, but that’s not what he is under the Constitution,” Bachmann said Tuesday. Rep. Steve King of Iowa had Bachmann’s back, arguing that Obama has repeatedly acted outside of the bounds of his constitutional authority. Not only should Congress bring Obama to court, King said, but the House should also consider a formal resolution “that lists all of [Obama’s] constitutional violations, or at least the clearest ones—there are very many, I don’t know if we’d ever get to all.”

ALLEN WEST ON COCA-COLA SUPER BOWL AD 

"If we cannot be proud enough as a country to sing 'America the Beautiful' in English in a commercial during the Super Bowl, by a company as American as they come — doggone we are on the road to perdition," wrote former Rep. Allen West, R-Fla., on his website. 

West called the 60-second ad "truly disturbing" and included a lengthy quote by former President Teddy Roosevelt, which ended, "We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language for we intend to see that the crucible turns our people out as Americans, and American nationality, and not as dwellers in a polyglot boarding house; and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people."

However, another prominent Republican tweeted the opposite view :

Sen. Lisa Murkowski ✔ @lisamurkowski

My favorite commercial so far? Coca Cola's America the Beautiful ad. Gave me goosebumps, and I don't even drink pop! #superbowlcommercials

OBAMA DISSES O'REILLY AND FOX

In two very short and sweet sentences President Obama sorts things out. 

“Your detractors believe that you did not tell the world [Benghazi] was a terror attack because your campaign didn’t want that out,” O’Reilly said. “That’s what they believe.”

“And they believe it because folks like you tell them that,” Obama said. "These kinds of things keep on surfacing in part because you and your TV station will promote them."
