GOP Convulses Over Upcoming Encyclical

  Good for Jeb Bush for highlighting one of the many basic willfully ignorant aspects of the GOP regarding global warming. Global warming as far as the GOP and its oil company backers are concerned, is an economic policy. Global warming is about as much of an economic policy as is gravity, clouds, air, the Sun, and the universe. But this is what the GOP does, frames an issue and then hangs on for dear life over and over and over through it's fundamentally factually flawed echo chamber. They say there are two certainties, death and taxes. Not true, there are three, death, taxes, and the willful grimacing gripping ignorance of the conservative mindset.
