Anyone want to bet that, if this was a Democratic state, FOX News would be howling like a female dog in heat? For that matter, that Republicans would be doing that in general? I guess the GOP really doesn’t believe in freedom.

And BTW, yes, this has everything to do with why GOP/Teatroll governors and state legislatures are doing everything they can to destroy public employee unions. They’re going to get their jack-booted army of brownshirted bureaucrats backed by an abusive state army if it’s the last thing they do.

Florida officials have been banned from using the terms “climate change” and “global warming”

But, it would be kosher to use “climate warming” or “global change”?
