I read this earlier today. I thought it was satire.

you left out “total”. you softening up a bit my friend?

It's Sunday - so I'm in lazyboy mode. Did a fridge run and now I'm recharged. And . . .

Thomas Friedman is still a total idiot.

Is it true that Tom Friedman’s prom date was Paul Krugman?

Yes, there are other crude oil pipelines from Canada to the US. But they all terminate in the mostly land-locked and crude-short Midwest (PADD III). Keystone would move cheap crude all the way to Houston, where it would trash the structure of world crude prices. Crude markets are already glutted and yet more crude flowing into the refining complex around Houston would force the Saudis and Russians to further reduce output to keep prices up.

Make no mistake about this: The problem with Keystone has nothing to do with environmental concerns. The real issue is from a US national security standpoint. It would put severe downward pressure on crude oil market prices, which the US has been successfully propping up for more than a decade as part of multi-pronged economic warfare against the Chinese. All the enviro yammering is just window dressing. It is geopolitics, national security and it is China.

From what I understand, Mr. Friedman, the tar sands oil is already coming south. Transported by nobama’s BFF Warren Buffet via his railroad.

The pipeline will make transportation quicker and less costly. In addition to creating a slew of jobs, both short term (building) and long term (maintenance).

I read an article recently, sorry, I don’t have a link, wish I did, that said the amount of oil and natural gas right here in the US is more than what they’ve got in the Middle East. The US could become a net exporter of oil and gas. Plus, the reserve will hold us for 600 years.

I realize that tar sands and fracking scare the sh!t outta you mentally diseased greenie leftards with a windmill stuck up your butt. Just think: no more stupid electric cars, no more solar panels for as far as the eye can see, no more Eagle killing windmills spoiling a beautiful view, no more taxpayer funding of rip-off “green” companies about to file bankruptcy. Too bad for you. Go suck on it.

New York, imports and the debt regime, scheming to increase imports by way of a cheap Canadian dollar. The anti-American crooks in the northeast will keep it up, until our country collapses. No thanks. Let’s buy extra oil from Canada instead of the Middle East, and start producing more useful things on US soil again.

Not sure. But they would make a cute couple, that’s for sure. Soulmates.

LOL! I can hardly believe that fossilized old communist fart Friedman is still writing.
Of course, the New York Times will publish anything that shows fascism and communism in a positive light.

Friedman’s face is in the dictionary accompanying the word “hypocrite”.

In my Roget’s thesaurus, ‘Thomas L. Friedman’ is listed as an antonym to ‘introspection’
