Barbara Boxer: Greatest Threat to National Security is… Carbon Dioxide
**Written by guest-blogger Doug Powers
Al Gore is on record as calling “climate change” a greater threat to humanity than terrorism or rogue dictators with nukes, and Barbara “Ma’am” Boxer has followed suit by saying that “carbon pollution, leading to climate change, will be, over the next 20 years, the leading cause of conflict.”
And the only knock on Barbara Boxer that Carly Fiorina could make on open-mic night was about her hair? (name corrected, wrote earlier Meg Whitman said that, sorry Meg!)
If by “conflict” she means harsh opposition to the continued takeover of the U.S. from within under the guise of saving the world from a fiery death, then I suppose she’s correct — but that’s not what she means.
Boxer is saying, “Unless you want a lot of wars, support our EPA power grab!”
The real intent of course isn’t to rank climate change as being a greater threat than terrorism, but to inextricably link them as one problem and assign the blame to your SUV and dependency on the coal energy that is giving Ashley Judd the trots. It’s “blame America first” at its most twisted. “They won’t attack if you hand us billions more for clean energy and green jobs!”
Maybe Barbara Boxer believes that Al Qaeda flew planes into the World Trade Centers because they were getting too warm, but I’m certainly skeptical.
In fact, the greatest threat to national security isn’t climate change, terrorism or rogue dictators — it’s the people who are running our own government right now. If we can vote out politicians like Barbara Boxer starting this November, that’s just the kind of breath of fresh air that will help save the United States.
Update: Speaking of Barbara Boxer, according to CNN, President Obama skipped the memorial service for the workers killed on the Deepwater Horizon rig to attend a Boxer fundraiser. Hopefully Babs feels special.

Boxer Rocks!
Boxer Rocks!
She’s as smart as a…
Boxer Rocks!
I could say that I’m surprised, but I’ve come to expect lunacy from Liberals. The sad truth is that she speaks to her peers of which we have too many in this country. Liberals are becoming more and more insane as each day passes.
Like a rabid dog, she needs to be put down. Hopefully, her carbon footprint expires in Nov.
I believe it’s time to have her assessed for a move to the alzheimers wing of Congress. Incredible.
Variation #294 of the “panic the herd” approach to get your agenda accomplished.
Where is the science Senator?
Hmm. Maybe we can exploit this. Can we start development and testing on a Carbon Dioxide bomb that we can drop on terrorists to Global Warm them to death?
Or, would that get you brought up before a warm crime tribunal?
Another reason why putting a moratorium on Congress itself might be a really good idea. A 10 year moratorium. Two years on, 10 years off. That would be about right. With a civic and mental/intelligence evaluation before the pol is allowed to be seated.
I also think public canings for beyond-the-pale Congressional stupidity would be useful.
Barbara Boxer: Greatest Threat to National Security
is… Carbon DioxideBarbara Boxer: Greatest Threat to National Security is… Her Hair
Correct me if I’m wrong, but wasn’t it Carly Fiorina who made the remark about her hair? After all, she’s the run running arounds Babs Boxer for the Senate seat.
This saying applies primarily to men, but it also applies to Boxer.
God is just,
God is fair,
To some he gave brains,
And the other hair.
Not only would it be good for the country, but good for the enviorment and help reduce global warming…just think of all the hot air and spewed carbon dioxide that would be reduced in DC…
Correction…it wasn’t Meg Whitman who made the statement about Boxer’s hair. It was Carly Fiorina. But aside from that…Glen Beck had a good point this a.m. If Boxer can’t handle a simple criticism about her hair, she is definitely in the wrong line of work! As for “climate change”, we all know that whole scenario is a gigantic hoax and those who keep playing the global warming card are going down, down, down. We just aren’t buyin’ it any more.
What is amazing, and this isn’t meant as a defense of the woman running as the John McCain candidate for Senate in California, is this woman is still probably going to be a US Senator next January.
It’s true. Barbara Boxer has ma’am hair.
But her hair issue is due to global warming…now I see why she is soooo wanting to end global wamring…..
She is WAY too far out there for me to comprehend. She must be defeated!
This explains alot…when liberals can find no intelligent, nor rational argument for a position they take, they always seem to be able to pull one out of their a$$es. Somehow, those explanations must make sense to them.
What do you call a liberal woman with half a brain?
Gifted.
Neither Nan the nut, nor Babs the boob are quite there yet….
True, we know AGW is a hoax, but our side isn’t winning. We’re losing.
Not so fast – maybe the desert heat cooked their brains?
MM is gonna hate me for saying this, but run (at least!) for local office, please!
James Greenidge
Queens NY
I doubt it, Dan.
I think what cooked their brains was tribal inbreeding, illeteracy, power-hungry religoius “leaders”….and, maybe, sand fleas and camel spit.
It was Fiorina and not Whitman who commented about Boxer’s hair…
If Boxer really felt this way then she would agree to stop exhaling for the good of the world.
Don’t hold your breath…
And all the evidence, however obtained, that the books were cooked (not intentional, unavoidable pun) on the whole man-made global warming scam has already been forgotten?
I really do not like stupid people.
Barbara Boxer, you are on Very Thin Ice, Very Thin Ice…
I’m surprised the liberals haven’t banned carbonated beverages.
Heck, every time you open a carbonated beverage, CO2 escapes from the bottle or can into the atmosphere!
Oh, the Horror! The Horror!
I was thinking it was the Burque clad women….Let’s face it without women to look at and chase they had to find something else to do with their spare time.
I used to live in Marin County (just north of SF) when this idiot was a county supervisor and later the representative to congress. Why do you think I left? She is a NYC transplant and has never held a real job in her entire life.
Unfortunately, the city of Los Angeles elects all statewide offices for CA. So, she’ll be back.
Hey, they want to have a junk food tax. Carbonated beverages won’t be far behind.
I wonder how much tax money they’ll collect when the sales of fast food and sodas plummet?
Boxer, and those Globalists like her have to sell their false religion to the masses. Scaring children with increased storms, droughts, ocean level…
Funny thing is, the Bible states G-d’s wrath will be poured out on the world for turning it’s back on G-d.
If the Bible is correct, and G-d controls the earth’s problems due to mankinds turning away from G-d’s love, who is Boxer pushing lies for?
Lucifer?
The legislature in WA ST recently passed a soda tax, as well as a bottle water tax, and a candy tax and they are pushing (using the initative process) to create a state income tax.
Don’t worry Barb, pretty soon you won’t have to worry about Army Generals not calling you “senator” any more.
How much CO2 did Mt. St.Helens and Mt. Pinatubo dump into the atmosphere?
Is planet earth trying to kill us?
Bwwwwwwaaaaaaaa
Bush put them up to it…..
/sarc
First they tax it out of business and then replace it with government kool-aid.
Maybe the governments will pass volcano taxes on everyone within 50 miles of one.
Shhhh! Don’t give them any ideas. I live on one (extinct).
The thing to do is for Ma’am Babbs to call another important committee meeting to discuss the issue.
What if you had a meeting and nobody came? Hey Babbs, there’s a hint here.
How much money is this old bat getting by backing this? Make all you can sugar, I hope you will get all you can get in Nov. Daily, we seen how these dc slug slimes are making million or billions at us taxpayers. They do not give a flying flit about those who vote for them, as with this bho, ME.
L
Since Boxer and cronies don’t bother to read legislation, it follows that none have read any of the research on global warming either. This is not the time to push through another total take over of another segment of the economy.
Oh my, the disrespect!!!
That’s SENATOR Boxer, citoyens. She has EARNED it.
And don’t you forget it. Or she’ll send B-HO to kick your ass! He is looking for someone you know…..
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Before every goes nuts on Boxer, the two new Republican “girl power” ditzes Whitman and Fiorina are already showing that they are second to no one in ditziness.
Go down to the Fiorina video and listen particularly to her comments about how “bizarre” it is for Whitman to have agreed to appear on Hannity’s program. WTF? That is why that as dumb as Jerry Brown and Barbara Boxer may be, they will not have any serious problems defeating Whitman and Fiorina.
Believe me, last Tuesday was an unqualified disaster for Republicans in CA where voters even approved a proposition that will allow everyone to votes in only one primary and the top two vote-getters, even if they are in the same party, go on to the November election. There is no longer any point to having a Republican party in CA… as if we had one already. This wasn’t made possible by California Republican and conservative voters but by outside interests (RNC e.g.).
Good job GOP!!!
Senator Bab’s hair is the least of her problems – she is in serious need of prescription meds, stat!
No wait, she’s over 55 right? Get in line sweetheart with the rest of the country’s forced Obamacare fix.
Just noticed that Paterico shares my reservations about Fiorina. That woman is going to be one gaffe after another. She is NOT a conservative. She is just a wealthy ambitious woman who was presented a menu of positions and related talking points. She might as well be reading off bumper stickers as we will soon be finding out. For Fiorina to win would be no different than having Boxer merely switch party.
name one.
CO2 is the greatest threat….
I beg to differ; The greatest threat to National Security is Chuck Norris and He’s on our side.
Rock-Paper-Chuck Norris!
Chuck wins everytime.
GSP
YES!
Hey Ma’am, go make me a sandwich!
And don’t be chincy with the Wensleydale!
Don’t miss what this C02 deal is really about. Its about the purchase and sale of “carbon credits” that producers of “fossil fuel” energy (gas, electric, oil) companies will be forced to buy when they exceed the “cap” the government artificially assesses. They will become the new derivatives market and make billionaires out of many of the liberal elite who will (they hope) control the market.
This board is no fun anymore.
I remember the good ol’ days, when global warming would be debated on here.
Unfortunately, people willing to defend CAGW are a dying breed.
The best we get now are people that say, “Well, even if global warmning isn’t true, don’t you think all the measures will help the earth in a good way?”
And these people just get quiet when I say, “no.”
Fixed! Thanks! That’s what I get for posting on the fly…
It would be most helpful if she didn’t exhale for a very very very long time.

I share the reservations.
I disagree there… hopefully Fiorina is at least a little bit more conservative than Boxer!
And consider that since Boxer would NEVER switch parties, this race is important if for no other reason than party head count. Let’s just say, for sake of argument, that after every other race, there are 50 Republicans in the Senate. At that point, a Fiorina win would mean the difference of which party controls the Senate. Even if she’s not a true conservative, it’s still important for her to win.

In case any one missed it:
Funny Carly ad about Boxer
Will Boxer be attending…?
Off the top of my head, I think it was Pinatubo that blew a lot of ash into the straosphere and made us – cooler…
Science no longer exists. The late 20th and early 21st centuries will be mocked someday like we laugh at those who thought the earth rests on a turtle.
An Asthma inhaler tripled in cost because of these MORONS.
The little tiny inhaler people need to keep breathing is tripled in cost because of these MORONS.

In the ’30′s coal was burned in just about every furnace in every town. Fire barrrels on the corner, cars with NO emission controls, just a breather pipe. I lived in a steel town with soot ditying the clothes hanging on the line, kesh falling everywhere. One time about ’38 it got dark at noon in St Louis—smoke from soft coal. It should be about 110 degrees here now if carbon was a problem.
Greatest Threat to National Security are… Democrats!
…they demand precision, don’tcha know?
***** Huge Red Flags!!! *****

Barbra Boxer breathes.
Breathing causes carbon dioxcide.
Stop breathing Barbra.
The Boxster is off her tracks along with President Urkel – this has to be the quote of the Century:
“Obama: GOP to blame for spill, because if I had tried to prevent it, which I didn’t, they would have stopped me”
Off topic but this has got to be one of the best anti-illegal signs I’ve seen in a while:

She is a typical liberal-socialist doing the job of a useful idiot. Stalin would be proud.
Our local Utility just recieved a 6 million dollar Grant for “Smart Meters”.
The last time I ever heard about these Smart Meters was a story I read about a WW2 Vet in Wisconsin who Froze to Death in his home because his Power was shut off, one of these Smart Meters and he did not know about Resetting it. As I understand these meters are supposed to be able to read your Carbon Footprint.
I wonder if my 6ft tall Rabbit Harvey has a Carbon Footprint?
Still crazy, after all these years.
So, vote for Boxer then. Who cares? If you can’t see the difference between these two people, you are blind.
I remember being pretty upset over that one. I used to get my inhaler for $4.00 co-pay cost. Now it is $35.00. Why? Because the propellant had to be changed to rid it of those awful carbons! Since they did that, it is now considered a “new” product, subject to higher cost. Don’t get me wrong…$35.00 to improve your breathing is a small price to pay. But add in all the other UNNECESSARY costs to EVERYTHING because of these idiots, and it will bankrupt us. Oh well, people like Boxer don’t have to worry about costs anyway. They have been in congress so long they are set for life. And the invironmental wackos can just go live in the woods on herbs and twigs.
So California needs to control immigration from New York? That works; if they don’t Elliot Spitzer might move there and drive up the cost of call girls-Nancy Pelosi and Babs-never mind.
Oh, my Gosh!! I can hardly believe what I just saw!! This woman is running as a Republican Conservative??? And she is praising Van Jones and was on a cruise for climate change? Great, just great. They are infiltrating and pretending to be conservative. How can we believe ANYONE??? This video should have come out long before the primary. Now we have the fabulous choice of Meg Whitman or Jerry Brown. California is toast.
Off topic…One thing we are learning about this mess in the Gulf. We have a LOT of oil down there!!! I am also learning that Obama can’t make a decision even to save his presidency. There have been hundreds of great ideas for preventing the destruction of our beaches pouring in from all over the world and he is sitting on all of them. Why? Because he can’t make a decision!! He is a total doofus and we are stuck with him for another 2 years. I am going to go bash my head into a brick wall now so I feel better. See you all later.
agree happyscrapper….the huckster is having a show tonight with 9 great ideas for cleaning up the oil on the coast. Maybe the white house should tune in??
The real threat to our country isn’t Barbra Boxer, Global warming, Obambi, et al but the morons in California that continue to put the Fiorinas, Boxers, etc in office.
thejim, correct. On drugs, on public government schools propaganda=indoctrinated communists.
She’s right. The CO2 from her mouth could probably melt the Pentagon.
If the Founding Fathers could come back from the other side for one day, they would take one look at this Congress, and wonder how the hell did it all go this wrong. The people now inhabiting the once hallowed halls of Congress are, intellectually and morally speaking, mere empty shadows compared to the Founders.
The Founding Fathers would be surprised our Constitution has lasted this long. The track record for democracies and republics wasn’t very good. They didn’t think the government would last, especially with all the problems that still existed and the tendency to become apathetic in keeping liberties.
The whole climate change thing is like those old movies where the explorers on safari would get captured by cannibals and then threaten to make the sun go out if they weren’t let go. Of course, there was a solar eclipse that conveniently occurred and then the natives thought they were gods.
The problem is the libs think we’re as clueless as those cannibals and apparently they’re about half right.
Even though Boxer is a twat like Feinstein, Pelosi etc., we have to place the blame solely where it belongs: the voters that put them there.
As detestable as any one of these leathered slatterns are, one must ask: what kind of person would think that she can speak for me?
Brain-dead California liberals. The state is infested with them.
this lady is an idiot, sorry
Barbara Boxer is a major national threat to our security, and our senses.
20 years… is that her date of expiration?
I’ve always heard that California is the breakfast cereal state: nothing but fruits, nuts and flakes.
Good lord, this woman is a hopeless loon.
