XL Keystone Pipeline

Please tell me why this pipeline is a "bad" thing? It brings jobs, money and control to Canada and the United States over energy. To think that the President is not on board with this because of his environmentalist door knockers in San Francisco is disgusting. He is pissing away the future of America over a new 4 year campaign. How about you take a minute to think about something other than your party, Mr. President? This pipeline is 1700 miles in length and secured by Canada (a life-long friend to the US) and the United States. It is insane that it is even up for debate on whether it is happening. How you implement may be something you work through as you go, to make sure you do as little environmental damage as possible, however doing it..should be a fore gone conclusion. If we combined Canadian oil-sands with natural gas in the United States (4 times the amount of natural gas exists in the US as compared to ALL of the oil in Saudi Arabia) - energy would become truly secure in North America. Not to mention the sheer agreement on building the oil pipeline would send current gas prices plummeting. Remember 2.00/gln gas..want it back? We piss and moan about security and limiting DoD spending, imagine if we didn't have to defend our energy supply 8000 miles away from our shores? If anyone had a long term memory they would recall why Japan bombed Pearl Harbor in 1941..it was because the US was assisting in cutting off oil imports to Japan. Imagine what hell the US would have to bring if Iran and OPEC decided to ban the US? Think about it America. Pipeline

Fox News or CNN?

Ah, Fox and CNN. Where to start. Each one has its own bias. I was, for a very very long time an avid CNN viewer, literally the TV would be on CNN when I got home from work and stay there. Until the 2008 elections. I could not believe how much CNN backed the Democratic party. Almost to a point of annoyance. For every on RNC member on a panel there would be 2 DNC, usually one black man and one woman. The RNC person was almost always a white male. What I couldn't believe was the entire lack of respect for the opposing candidates on the Republican side. Now before you go "damn right-wing Republican" understand these FACTS: - Member of the Democratic Party - Libertarian - NRA Life Member What does that equal? Me. Not a single word up there said Republican. In fact, I've never voted for a presidential republican candidate. Maybe my lack of line loyalty allows me to have an open mind where others seen inherently sheltered. I have very strict guidelines for leaders; 1) be hon...
