Good Grief...

Just when you thought they couldn't get any loonier, Congressional Democrats now want to divert intelligence funds to study Global Warming. From the Washington Times:

"Our job is to steal secrets," said Rep. Peter Hoekstra of Michigan, the ranking Republican on the Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence.     "There are all kinds of people analyzing global warming, the Democrats even have a special committee on this. There's no value added by the intelligence community here; they have no special expertise, and this takes money and resources away from other threats."

"It's hard to imagine how anyone could believe that climate change represents a more clear and present danger to the United States than radical Islamic terrorists armed with bombs, but that's essentially what Democrats have concluded in this bill,' said Brian Kennedy, a spokesman for Minority Leader John A. Boehner, Ohio Republican.

So funds that were meant to hunt down terrorists, keep America safe from attack, and support our servicemen and women overseas are being used to study...Global Warming?   Al Gore would be proud. Not to mention that the federal government also spends $6.5 billion annually on studies, issues, and initiatives related to global warming.

And of course, which two "moderate" buddies of Arizona are ready to spend tax dollars on unproven theories instead of funding our troops in harms way? Our good friends Harry Mitchell and Gabby Giffords of course!
