As Chez likes to say, the Republicans are beyond parody. A state delegate in Virginia thinks "sea level rise" is a liberal conspiracy.
State Del. Chris Stolle, R-Virginia Beach, who insisted on changing the “sea level rise” study in the General Assembly to one on “recurrent flooding,” said he wants to get political speech out of the mix altogether.
He said “sea level rise” is a “left-wing term” that conjures up animosities on the right. So why bring it into the equation?
“What people care about is the floodwater coming through their door,” Stolle said. “Let’s focus on that. Let’s study that. So that’s what I wanted us to call it.”
Or how about this, Mr. Stolle. How about you tell your Republican followers to wise up and accept the fact that "sea level rise" is real and they should stop paying attention to idiots and conspiracy-mongers who say otherwise?
