If the green weenies buy into this, they'll get that second chance. Obama didn't stop the project, he just stalled it long enough to sell them the green snake oil then betray them after the election. The fun part is that they'll repent at leisure since they'll be stuck with him for another four years--along with the pipeline.LawHawkRFDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17800255923675295515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-63020120966235683482011-11-13T22:26:29.116-05:002011-11-13T22:26:29.116-05:00tryanmax: It's true that Nebraska doesn't...tryanmax: It's true that Nebraska doesn't have a lot of pull electorally.

It would satisfy the Green weenies, but then they would not have any reason to vote for Obamanite. (Obama + kryptonite = Obamanite Dangerous to the U.S. and the American Way of Life.) Also, it would be a great way of demonstrating that Obama isn't into jobs, which he can't deny. Slowing it down, Obama can say he is for jobs, just not at the expense of the environment.<br /><br />Not shutting it down would prove to the Green weenies that Obama doesn't love them and the environment. The rest of us, we are the ones who cling to their guns and bibles. We don't count.<br /><br />It would be hard for me to believe that Obama didn't kill it or slow it down. What is unexpected is that this pipeline project actually exists. This is the first I heard of it. <br /><br />Hopefully this gets full play, but I doubt it.

I tend to agree, though at the same time I think the weak-spined Obama also has a tendency simply to heed the voices of those leftists who are at any given time shrieking the loudest.

For example:<br /><br /> - Sure, they have their oil-spill scare tactics, but they don't frame it as environmentalism, they frame it as an agricultural threat: poisoned livestock, contaminated irrigation water, prairie fires. Farmers used to subsidies and government insurance are so risk-averse they'll call their senators and congressmen saying "there oughta be a law" at the mere suggestion that they might lose a nickel. <br /><br /> - And if you want to make a farmer mad with fewer than three words, just mutter "eminent domain" within earshot. Make it worse by blaming Canada. (I wish it were a joke.)<br /><br /> - For some reason, suggesting that so much as a drop of the oil might wind up in China or Russia sets tongues wagging around here. Nevermind how much US money is winding up in S. America and the Mideast. <br /><br /> - But if foreign animosities aren't enough, how about state rivalries? Apparently Oklahoma stands to gain from the pipeline, too. Some folks would rather starve than split a meal with a damned Okie. <br /><br /> - Then they double up to make the self-contradictory argument that the government is inept to govern the pipeline--citing a "lack" of pertinent laws--so they should hold up the pipeline while they craft some new laws. <br /><br />Here is a link to their talking points: <a href="http://boldnebraska.org/transcanada-pipeline" rel="nofollow">boldnebraska.org/transcanada-pipeline</a>tryanmaxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09881154741574720094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-37585477715086488862011-11-13T17:04:55.457-05:002011-11-13T17:04:55.457-05:00Tehachapi Tom: In order to feel shame, a man firs...Tehachapi Tom: In order to feel shame, a man first needs to have honor.
