A Louisiana State Representative, seeking her districts U.S. House seat, has posted a campaign video calling climate change the greatest deception in the history of mankind, and stating that it can be disproved using a simple thermometer.
In the video Lenar Whitney, who is running for the seat representing Louisianas sixth congressional district being vacated by Republican Bill Cassidy, claims climate change is being pushed by liberals, including former Vice President Al Gore, as a way to gain more power for government and raise taxes.
Using terminology usually associated with former half-term Governor Sarah Palin, Whitney claims that her pronouncement that climate change is a fraud, caused liberals in the lamestream media to become unglued, before equating herself with George Orwell, who once said: In a time of universal deceit telling the truth is a revolutionary act.
Calling former VP Al Gores propaganda film The (sic) Inconvenient Truth, Whitney explains that scientific consensus on anthropogenic global warming can be disproved using a thermometer.

(2,741 posts)that people like Lenar Whitney think they have enough intelligence to be state leaders, even in Louisiana. Has this woman ever taken an intelligence test? Can she read cursive writing? Can she read? How many scientific papers on climate change has she attempted to read? When did she view Gore's film? Does she understand the difference between temperature and climate? Is she actually human? How does America produce so many idiots like Lenar?

(10,495 posts)has to say that crazy shite because the main employer by far is the oil industry. It is a modern day Hunger Games. The Tributes from her District would wear oil derricks on their heads! The sad thing is that the people of that District know that is the case, but they need those jobs. They want a Representative in the pocket of the oil industry because that is in their self interests. They will put up with all of the negatives: contamination; loss of wet lands; pollution; whatever, to keep their precious jobs.
