Google Raises Campaign Funds For Climate Change Denier
HonorPoncaCityDotCom writes "Alex Altman reports at Time Magazine that Google recently hosted a fundraiser for Oklahoma Senator Jim Inhofe, one of the Senate's most conservative Republicans and a staunch opponent of EPA regulations. Inhofe authored a treatise called 'The Greatest Hoax: How the Global Warming Conspiracy Threatens Your Future,' thinks the Bible disproves global warming, and once denounced the 'arrogance' of scientists who suggest that 'we, human beings, would be able to change what He is doing in the climate.' What prompted Google to host a fund raiser where attendees shelled out up to $2,500 for lunch with Inhofe? A data center that Google operates in Pryor, Oklahoma. 'Google runs a significant operation that provides around 100 jobs,' says Rusty Appleton, Inhofe's campaign manager. 'The Senator had an opportunity to tour the facilities in May of last year, and is committed to ensuring that Oklahoma remains a great place to do business.' A Google spokesperson says the company regularly hosts fundraisers for candidates of all stripes, even when Google disagrees with some of their policies — as it does with Inhofe on climate change. This explanation didn't wash with the activists outside Google's D.C. headquarters near K Street. "

I don't believe in global warming, so I do not care what kind of phone I use.

Awesome, I have a stalker.
And FYI,
Napolitano is heading out there to ensure that the Sharknado [imdb.com] does not come to pass. She's going to take flying lessons so she can hover a helicopter 50 feet away from the up-coming EF4 tornado and "blow it up".

Google dares aid to the campaign of one GOPer and it makes new. Meanwhile, they aid Democats by a 4:1 margin, and there isn't a peep.
Just goes to show how the media is in the bag for democrats. Journolist anyone?
Really?
It seems like socialists took over.
I don't want to pay for your kids breakfast, but if I refuse then people with guns come to my house and take all my posessions.
I haven't seen a corporation with that power yet.

When I was a kid in school we had pollution in Southern California that was so bad we could not play outside on certain days. The EPA set out some basic, common sense regulations and fixed the problem. My children have not had to stay inside once because of pollution. A couple of times due to massive fires though. Once they fixed the problem they needed to stay relevant. So like every government entity they narrowed acceptable and increased regulation year after year. Now the EPA is fucking full retard evil. I do not know the temps in a decade from now. Neither do the people saying that they do. I do not want massive pollution. I also realize that the fucking Sun has much more effect on the climate than we ever will. The earth will have warmer times. The earth will have thousands of years where te ice caps are nearing Texas. It has happened many time in the past and will happen may more times with or without us. Most people are fucking retarded when it comes to climate.
Why is it so hard to only have politicians for a few years, then have them go away?
Karl Marx version of communism will save us? For more than a century it has been used to murder a large number of 'us', regardless of which 'version', it all comes down to destroying individual freedoms and promoting collectivism of one form or another, I am completely against collectivism of any kind, so obviously you'll have to shoot me, because I am (and many others like me) a stone wall on your way to "Karl Marx communism".
Since you'll have to commit murder (yet again for that same ideology) then you are not actually 'saving us', 'us' being people that do not agree with you, so then what incentive do we have to care about what you say or want or work with you in any way shape or form? 0 incentive.
You can't handle the truth.
