House Votes To Ban U.S. Funding For “Global Warming” Assistance To Foreign Countries, Dems Outraged…
Sanity prevails.
WASHINGTON — A panel of the US Congress on Thursday moved to bar foreign assistance related to climate change, defying President Barack Obama’s calls to contribute as part of an international accord.
On a party line vote, the Republican-led House Foreign Affairs Committee voted to ban funding in next year’s budget for Obama’s initiative to support poor nations in adapting to climate change or pursuing clean energy.
But the measure’s future is uncertain as other committees also have jurisdiction over climate funding including in the Senate, where Obama’s Democratic Party is in control.
Representative Connie Mack, a Republican from Florida, said he proposed the funding cut as “we have to prioritize US tax dollars.” Jean Schmidt, a Republican from Ohio, questioned if human activity was causing climate change.
Democrats attacked the move. Representative Howard Berman, the top Democrat on the committee, said it would cut off funding for vulnerable populations that are already feeling the effects of climate change.
Gerry Connolly, a Democrat from Virginia, likened the Republican effort to the 1925 Scopes monkey trial in which a Tennessee teacher was taken to court for teaching evolution.

“the 1925 Scopes monkey trial”

Taking a moral position in a supposedly objective argument????
.
He,he. Maybe this is why we aren’t seeing to many Republicans on TV bashing obama. They’re to busy fighting off all the Bullshit the progressives have passed these last 4 years. The barley have time to breath.
Is it any fucking wonder the Dems don’t want to balance the budget? What benefit does this give the US taxpayer, and who’s fair share needs to go towards this? Fuck the Democrats.
They care only about consolidating their power.
Good news…but as usual Dingy Harry & Crew will let this go no-wheresville.
The monkey trial was make believe, a sham, set up to bring attention and tourism to a small town. The nitwit commie dems turned it into an outright lie (of course) and the same movie (Inherit the Wind) was made three times. It’s one of the biggest crocks of shit from the 20th century.
And here I thought common sense was dead.
Way to go House!!!
I think this is in a way a response to the Obama administration trying to speed up “Global Warming” funding to the UN.
.
Control freak enviro-mentalists cannot stand being challenged. Cut off the taxpayer jizya and they go poof.
Hooray!!!!! Now shut down the EPA!!! The UN is just one of the groups Obama is working for. That, the Muslim Brotherhood and Weather Underground. And O’Reilly is trashing the Tea Party. That would be those who are standing on the shoulders of our Founding Fathers. Those Founding Fathers who gave him a free country to live, and run off his mouth.
The current House of Reps is the latest expression of the will of the American people. Nov. 2010. An epic ass whuppin was put on Obama and the dims and they still refuse to see it. Another epic ass whuppin is on the way. Americans do not want any thing to do with this watermelon political crap.
Global Warming is setup to be a global welfare program.
This is socialism on an international scale.
.
As Monty Python put it…” and there was much rejoicing…yea…”
great news but watch the commie rat bastards ignore the vote
I wonder how this is tied to the debt crisis issue.
What is the real goal of raising the US debt limit to an additional $2.5 trillion if not TO SPEND MORE MONEY?
.
They already have a work around. Stay alert.

@VT
time to lock and load.
Its nice to see this, but they are still pissing up a waterfall.
Coup d’etat
Go ahead…name one thing any poor country previously receiving generous amounts of US taxpayer money has done to improve climate change or pursue a clean energy project that improves the lives of their people.
Time for the demacraps to walk over the cliff right off the edge to their doom they need to disappear
Death by 1,000 Cuts…
now underway in America…via a fraudulent President’s pen.
This will end. It’s up to YOU to decide when and how.
I’m all for going green and reducing pollution and climate change, but you can’t help people without money and we ain’t got no money.
Pull our troops out of Europe. They need to start protecting themselves, at their expense.
Send Mexico the bill for all their crap that leaks over here that we wind up taking care of. That’ll drastically reduce the debt. We can focus on global warming when we have a budget that’s in the black.
Good – the global warming crap is a part of Agenda 21 also – we need to kick that in the teeth.

“And O’Reilly is trashing the Tea Party. That would be those who are standing on the shoulders of our Founding Fathers. Those Founding Fathers who gave him a free country to live, and run off his mouth.”
HUH ?
why are you bashin Bill ?
I dont always agree with him, but hes on record being aware of the GW scam exposing the opportunists involved etc…
and has supported the Tea Party more than criticize them
No amount of money will EVER change our planets temperature.
And if you live in a turd world desert shithole,stay there.
Its a natural culling of the tribe
Bill O’Reilly has been saying that he Tea Party is going to lose the election for the Republicans because they won’t compromise enough. He went on and on about how foolish they are.
Yep, that’s trashin’.!!

No its not.
If you watch his show hes also defended them against far left loons and media abuse more than anything.
He might have a point.
Anyone that thinks they;ll get exactly what they want with the dems holding the senate, executive, and judiciary is high.
No one is past constructive criticism.
Plenty of us are upset with the guys we elected into the house in Feb that are flipping.
First we need to compromise so we can move forward to taking more power .
Hes not bashing when he makes a legit point. The Tea Party is just not rooted enough yet to take a presidential election standing alone and unfortunately will have to depend on some old school cons n reps (not rinos) to take the senate in 2014 and hold the house. As far as the executive goes we dont even have a decent candidate nominated yet and quite frankly none of the ones running look too promising. But thats just me.
I’m pretty sure anyone can beat Barry but I’m tired of choosing between lesser evils.
@ Tanya.
Anyway, more to point.
NJK sayin Bill is somehow ridin on thr backs of the forefathers that gave him the right to run his mouth is ignorant as our forefather gave us no rights.
Our creator and no man gave us those rights as Bill has explained hundreds of times.
Yes NJK, we all have the right to run our mouth even when fools like you dont know what you’re talking about.
Thank God
Yes JB, Thank God
It’s about damn time-keep going-Defund,Cut,Cut Cut-Defund everything they have done in the last two and a half years-
This is great news. Obama and the Democrat’s spending is going to drive us to financial ruin.
Our problem isn’t dealing with the debt ceiling, it’s dealing with bloated government!
This is good news. Ordinary Australians have had a gutful of their government, on route to inflict a painful, unnecessary and useless ‘carbon tax’ on the people. The National Road Freighters Association are organizing a peaceful Convoy of No Confidence in the federal government. We want an election.
