Elizabeth Warren Wins Sweepstakes for Week's Dumbest Tweet

The Democrat primary has devolved into an extremism arms race to see who can adopt the most radical position.

Last week’s winner, despite steep competition, was Elizabeth Warren, who tweeted out, “On my first day as president, I will sign an executive order that puts a total moratorium on all new fossil fuel leases for drilling offshore and on public lands. And I will ban fracking — everywhere.”

Sundance covered ten negative effects of this action at Conservative Treehouse. The bottom line is that it would take a sledgehammer to the U.S. economy while tipping the geopolitical map in favor of the world’s worst regimes, such as Russia, Iran, Venezuela, and China.

It’s a twofold nightmare, attacking the U.S. economy while threatening its national security. It’s hard to come up with a more damaging position. Perhaps next she can propose handing all of America’s nuclear weapons over to North Korea in the interest of global peace.

One wonders what is going through Warren’s mind when committing to something so obviously catastrophic to the nation she is hoping to lead. In borrowing a strategy oft used by C.S. Lewis, there are only three possible explanations for Warren’s position: she is lying, an intellectual lightweight, or a lunatic.

Let’s look at each of these in increasing order of likelihood.

Warren as Liar

Perhaps Warren actually realizes the incredible damage this would cause and is simply lying to Democrat primary voters to win their votes. This would be the least damaging option and can at least be considered within a primary, where Democrats are saying increasingly outrageous things to improve their standing with propagandized socialist voters who are members in good standing in the nonsensical Church of the Global Warming Jihad. Warren famously built much of her career on the big lie,

“The Democrat primary has devolved into an extremism arms race to see who can adopt the most radical position.”

i’m starting to wonder whether ANY of these candidates, except maybe Slo Jo, actually want the nomination because their internal polls are telling them they’ll all be crushed by Trump ...

this level of radicalness assures that any of them would be defeated, and yet on a daily basis, each and every one of them espouses more and more radical positions ... perhaps Slo Jo will be the last one standing because he’s the designated sacrificial lamb ...

“Poca-honkey”

Love it!

In 2008 there was a fictional character called “Honky Whitesville” who was said to be the only Caucasian on the Obama campaign staff.

Anyway, I hope Fauxcahontas/Lieawatha/Psychojawea gets the DemoCrap nomination. Can’t wait for Grey Beaver to wind up on the same stage with PDJT. He’ll yank her chain and she will blow her stack bigger than Mt. Vesuvius while shrieking that he’s a racist sexist fascist bigot Islamophobe.

The Angry Schoolteacher will be unable to conceal her wrath and hatred for PDJT.
