I got a chuckle from that too.


What really irritates me is this quote from the greenies

Bill McKibben, an environmental activist who led opposition to the pipeline, praised Obama's decision to stand up to what he called a "naked political threat from Big Oil."

Just after reading this

Some liberal donors threatened to cut off funds to Obama's re-election campaign to protest the project

Pot calling the kettle black!


If the environmentalists were actually concerned about the environment then they would say stop hauling oil in tankers, trucks and trains that are less fuel efficient and more likely to wreck. It is like arguing that you should water your garden with a pail instead of a water hose.

I hate greenies...a company wants to invest billions of dollars, and create thousands of jobs during an economic recession to tie an area full of natural resources to an area where there's refineries that can make something of said resources (keep in mind that new refineries are obscene amounts of money and the greenies won't let them build a new ones in the north anyways).

The greenies are like watermelons, green in the outside but red inside...

Meh, China will get the oil instead...

I'd rather see us import oil from Canada than the Middle East or Venezuela, but would much rather get it from our native soil.

We get more oil from Canada than any other country.
