All Hail the Tea Party

[kent_allard_jr]

Via Jonathan Chait, our new overlords on climate science:

“This so-called climate science is just ridiculous,” said Kelly Khuri, founder of the Clark County Tea Party Patriots. “I think it’s all cyclical.”

“Carbon regulation, cap and trade, it’s all just a money-control avenue,” Ms. Khuri added. “Some people say I’m extreme, but they said the John Birch Society was extreme, too.”

It's going to be a long two years.

I find it bitterly amusing that cap and trade was originally a conservative idea, and was regarded as one until recently.

Same with ObamaCare.

That's what happens when you try to compromise with conservatives. They always, always, always move the goalposts.
