Liberals offer only criticism, not a solution.

Take this article and others I found to the fight to the Libs on their own turf; put the Left on the defensive at at Digg and at Reddit and in Delicious and Stumbleupon

these people won’t be happy until the human race reverts back to cave dwelling, or the nomad life of the American Indian.

they are foolish dreamers... living in some kind of Utopia in their childish little dreaming heads.

meanwhile , billions of people and industries need energy and lots of it.

Liberals drink bottled water because they do not trust government water.

And somebody is using these people for their personal gain.

My well is less than 50 feet deep. I’ll risk the fracking.

They’ve watched too much Disney.

Somebody should let them know that people really don’t sing showtunes when they’re chopping down wheat with scythes.

If water fracking upsets the libs so much, the drilling companies ought to announce that they will frack wells the old fashioned way. With nitroglycerin.

(Yeah, I know you can't use it for horizontal wells, I just want to see the jaws drop and eyes bug out.)

Last paragraph. When its flowing out of the ground, fracking is the least of your worries.

Many of the early natural gas discoveries were most likely made not as a result of a search for oil or natural gas but were instead test wells drilled for salt or for fresh water. Strong flows of gas from water wells are not unusual in southeastern Michigan and sometimes the shallower rims of the basin can still provide a surprise. In the mid 1980s holes drilled to provide footings for a highway overpass in St. Clair County “blew out” with natural gas. The flow of gas from these early wells was usually quite small. The largest volume of natural gas was in St. Clair County were wells supplied “several families” in one case, “pumps, drills and two houses” in another case and “one house” in a number of instances.

Lol, the American Indian used to start forest fires to manage their woodlands. And I bet that once Indians got horses from the Spaniards, they polluted plenty of water sources, just like the Europeans.

The point about the Environmentalists being used is almost certainly right.

It’s only good when it’s a Battlestar Galactica reference.

The Democrat Party - Never met a job that they liked. Qualifications to be a Democrat are that you must be either on the dole or work for the government. Republicans will accept both and any in between.
