On the floor, she (California Senator Barbara Boxer) warned that climate change would have far-reaching consequences in the not-so-distant future. "I'm going to put in the record ... a host of quotes from our national security experts who tell us that carbon pollution leading to climate change will be over the next 20 years the leading cause of conflict, putting our troops in harm's way," Boxer said. "And that's why we have so many returning veterans who want us to move forward and address this issue." (FoxNews.com, 6/16/10)
RedStateVT is going to take a different tack and suggest that the biggest threat facing the nation – now and in the future – is radical Islamic fundamentalism. We know that is a controversial position to take, notwithstanding the tremendous impact of the group “Iraqi War Veterans for a Clean Energy Future.”
And Cure Cancer, Too!
At the same time, progressives have come to a realization. What we see, some 500 days into the Obama administration, is a president obstructed by a partisan Republican opposition, powerful entrenched corporate interests, and a minority of corrupt or conservative Democrats. The thinking is that if progressives organize independently and forge smart coalitions, building a mass movement for reform with a moral compass that can transcend left-right divisions, we may be able to push Obama beyond the limits of his own politics, overcome the timid incrementalism of the establishment Democratic Party and counter the forces of money and power that are true obstacles to change.

Moonbat Alert! So Obama (with his Democrat majorities) is obstructed by partisan Republicans, is thwarted by the powerful entrenched corporate industries (like the health insurance, financial services industries he has vilified and/or brought charges against) and is hamstrung by corrupt or conservative Democrats (including the conservative Dems who did his bidding on his health reform fiasco, although we will concede the “corrupt” charge). What strange universe does someone like vanden Heuvel inhabit?
Countdown…to Insanity
RedStateVT watched a five minute segment of Keith Olbermann’s show last night which included an appearance by former Clinton Labor Secretary Robert Reich. Believe us, five minutes was all we needed. The topic was Obama’s oval office address on the oil spill. Reich and Krazy Keith bemoaned the fact that Obama did not use the occasion to call for a carbon tax. Yes, you read that correctly. Because – obviously – what we need in this country is more taxes.
