NASA Confirms Accelerated Glacial Melting Below the Surface

More facts to fight right wing ideology.

Right-wing, conservative, republican ideology relies on superficial, simplistic, spiteful rhetoric. It is that way because their supporters could not absorb anything else. It didn't used to be that way. Conservatives had something to contribute - mostly because liberals do not always have a lock on the best way.

But lately, with the christianist, corporatist takeover of the republican party they have nothing to say that isn't hateful, theocratic and absurd. That's too bad because liberals need a brake on their impulses.

Add that to the incredible complexity of climate science that is still evolving and you have a situation that invites questions. And conservatives will always exploit that, rather than working with others to arrive at a consensus that helps the country. All they are about now is treason which is an accurate term when your only reason for being is to disrupt and cause harm to the country if you don't get your way.

Frightening.

CPAC Will Feature a Pelosi Piñata and Reid Punching Bag
Punching Bag
This post was originally published on Think Progress.

Tomorrow, conservatives from around the country will converge at the annual Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC), which serves as a “showcase of the heart and soul of American conservatism.” The Washington Scene reports that this year’s CPAC will prominently feature a Nancy Pelosi piñata and a Harry Reid punching bag for guests to take turns beating:

Attendees at a conservative conference in town this week will have the opportunity to whack a pinata of Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.). Conservative Political Action Conference “CPAC” begins Thursday here in D.C. and will feature a party Friday evening where guests will have the opportunity to whack a Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) pinata.

Keri Ann Meslar, director of development for the Greater Washington Sports Alliance and Katherine Kennedy of The Blonde Charity Mafia will be two of three famous D.C. residents taking a turn at the pinata during the annual Conservative Political Action Conference, which starts on Thursday. Meslar will be the guest “whacker” at a CPAC-sponsored party in Georgetown.

Mary Christopher, outreach coordinator for CivicForumPAC, said the Pelosi piñata will be filled with favorite Pelosi sayings, bills and candy. The party hopes to invite two other well-known D.C. residents to smash the piñata first, before others in attendance will be invited to try to take the Speaker down.“We’re hoping to have the females whack the piñata and males try their hand at a Harry Reid punching bag,” Christopher said.

CPAC will kick off tomorrow with a keynote speech by Florida GOP primary gubernatorial candidate Marco Rubio.
