So the Senate Democrats just defeated the $8 billion Keystone XL pipeline by 1 vote. Sitting duck Mary Landrieu — the soon-to-be former senator from Louisiana — begged her Democratic colleagues to vote for the energy-and-job-creating project but, no, the Fauxcahontas Elizabeth Warren “Green” wing of the party chose leftist sanctimoniousness over practicality.
Here’s the thing about energy: we need as much of it as we can get as cheaply as possible. Are you worried about “the environment,” “peak oil,” etc.? Then you should be an aivd supporter of fracking, the Keystone pipeline, and any other means of extracting fossil fuels from the bounty of the Earth. Why? Because what the United States needs is cheap, abundant energy, period (as the president might say). The reason is that if you want to help the downtrodden, save the environment, preserve the wetlands, and make the world safe for unbearable gasbags like Elizabeth Warren, then you need money. And to get money you need energy, lots and lots of energy. Let’s say you are interested in developing viable alternatives to carbon-based fuels: how would you do it? By basic research and an accumulation of engineering experiments.
What is the indispensable prerequisite for undertaking those tasks wholeheartedly? Money, wealth, prosperity. Without those golden keys, there is no research to speak of and little in the way of experimentation. The liberal (i.e., the wacko) wing of the Democratic Party doesn’t seem to understand that.
Or maybe it does understand it but chooses to ignore it. After all, a lack of resources does not hamper Elizabeth Warren’s movements. It merely hurts the people she pretends to serve. Air Force records show that Barack Obama charged the taxpayers $1,539,402.10 for his Labor Day travels for “fundraising, personal business, and politicking.”

More like giving a lethal injection to the future of this country. Stephen Harper better start building his own wall to keep us Americans out who are going to start fleeing north in waves.
Joe Manchin needs to join our side.
I hope this is both figuratively, politically and literally. Bye, bye...
“Won’t matter after tomorrow. This is no constitution. Only Obama.”
Don’t be bleak.What Buckwheat decrees today, can be rescinded by President Cruz.
We need to throw uncertainty and fear into the criminal invader community. This can be done by letting the invaders know that those who register for Obuma green cards will be hunted down and deported after Buckwheat retires to the golf course.
As for the bed-wetting, wimp propagandists in the media who will scream “racist,” the duty to shut them up will fall to America’s patriots - you and me - to shut them up, which won’t be hard to do.
Here’s one example of how to shut up these loud mouth liars -

Anyone who drives a car but opposes the Keystone pipeline is a hypocrite
You have to give absolution to the Tesla and Leaf folks, LOL.
Yes, what would we do without the Internet?
Biden would appoint Reid - someone has to tell him what to do, since Jarret would be gone ...
Even the unions are pro pipe line. Obama spits in their faces and still they support him.
Really? Where does electricity come from?
Hint: It’s not all dams (which are bad to the Left), solar panels and wind turbines... Vast majority from burning gas and coal.
It’s a murder/suicide.
Dang, I should have read the thread before I posted that. I’m a little late to the party.
Yes, you’re right. Thanks for pointing that out.
