Will the GOP EVER Acknowledge Reality?

The Florida coast line is pretty much ground zero for exposure to higher sea levels generated by global warming.  Sea Levels have risen @30 centimeters since 1950.  That is close to one foot and since sea level has been rising ever since the last Ice Age, you would think politicians in a state that is certain to be effected by the rising sea level would want to discuss the issue.  But not the Florida GOP.  They have banned any use of the words global warming or any issues surrounding global warming.  Even if you want to deny that human activity is causing global warming (although science has proven unequivocally that CO2 emissions cause atmospheric warming), why would you want to deny the sea level rising?  I guess if you don't believe in evolution or want to avoid offending those who don't believe in evolution, you have to deny the Ice Age too because it wasn't in The Old Testament.

Then, of course there is ObamaCare, where it is now clear that the cost curve of health care is bending downward.  It is difficult to separate the effects of ObamaCare and the effects of the Great Recession, but one thing is clear, the old system allowed our cost of health care to go from 9% of GDP in 1980 to 17% of GDP presently.   I guess I should be glad our cost of health care is only 12% of our monthly budget.  Meanwhile, the supposed best health care system in the world for that highest cost level in the world produces a worse than median outcome (that is the lower half for the statistically challenged) in the developed world for diabetes, infant mortality and life expectancy.  And all the GOP can whine about is how great it would be to go back to the old pre-ObamaCare system that bankrupted almost anyone who got sick while they were not covered by employer paid health insurance.  The old system was broken, so if you are going to repeal ObamaCare, you better have a solution. I know any GOP readers will not want to hear about it, but Heritage Fondation/RomneyCare/ObamaCare was the GOP solution to this unending increase in the aggregate cost of health care.

And finally, there is the complete irony that the GOP Senators are now completely aligned with the hard core conservatives in Iran who want a bomb.  They know that as long as they can sell oil, they will have enough money to build a nuclear bomb.  And sanctions cannot stop the selling of some oil, look at ISIS from whom nobody will admits to buying oil but they still get $$$ from somewhere for their oil.  The Nuclear Wanna Be conservatives in Tehran know there is no way their capacity can be bombed out of existence.  They know that a growing economy with an improving life style for the population combined with tight international supervision is the only thing that can stop them from building a nuclear bomb. And that is who the GOP Senators who signed this letter have aligned themselves with.  Do these guys think about anything from a base in reality?  It seems like all they can do is say, if Obama wants it, we are against it.

They think they aligned themselves with Bibi Netanyahu, but his denial of reality aligns himself with those Tehranian based conservatives.  And his denial of a Two State Solution shows he has no grasp on reality on almost anything other than his domestic political position.

I don't know which of these is most outrageous, but it really makes me sad that the Democrats cannot come up with some candidates to challenge Hillary.
