Excellent flash movie about drilling in ANWR. Interesting to note that it is narrated by a Native American Inuit, whose people would greatly benefit from the jobs drilling in ANWR will provide. Its too bad that liberals have this condecending view of Native Americans as granola-crunching eco-minded "earth worshippers". Nothing is further from the truth. Liberals should by horrified by this movie - a Native American who is in favor of oil drilling!!!

Hmmmm? According to one of the big union guys - Kerry promised him he would drill in ANWR.

This is, imho, a level headed look at things.
A couple of thoughts I had whilst watching:

-- it is done by a Native Alaskan.
This is good (lends credibility) for most decent people, but no group known to man is more condescendingly racist than liberals/progressives/marxists/democrats. The harder core the liberal/progressive/marxist/democrat that sees this, the more likely the narrator will be dismissed as a hyperventilating old man that should just learn his place as a subject to the state.

-- the narrator mentions god.
Again, for middle-American this is not bad, but when trying to win the minds of liberals/progressives/marxists/democrats it is the kiss of death. Once hillary or kennedy or kerry or frank or feinstein or the like sees this is from an old native man that refers to god, it's toast as far as any persuasive power goes.

Okay, wish I was being a little more sarcastic than I actually am, but liberals/progressives/marxists/democrats simply do not see the world in a way that an elder from Kaktovik can do a damned thing about.
