————How in the hell does an oil platform put tourism dollars at risk!-—————

Stigma.

As conservatives we’ve been fighting the drive by media for many, many decades.

It’s taken a long time to get to a place where we can effectively fight back but their propaganda and notions go very deep. They have a huge head start on us.

Simply by being ‘news’ outlets they have a unique ability to spout their drivel from the standpoint of sheer fact.

That’s incredibly damaging and it’s something that can’t be ignored. Sure, we here at FR are largely immune to their efforts but way too many aren’t and act accordingly every single day.

Yesterday the U.S.Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee approved an energy bill by a 15-8 vote. Oil and gas companies would be able to drill in U.S. coastal waters that remain off-limits — an issue the House did not address.

Florida Senator Bill Nelson promised to filibuster the bill unless the offshore drilling provisions are removed.

Count on Nutty Nelson to queer a good deal.
