Is there anything that demonstrates the posturing emptiness of modern liberalism better than the Democrat's stance on the Keystone pipeline? Stopping it achieves absolute utely nothing other than the throwing away of good jobs, the needless pissing off a valuable ally and with astounding strategic incompetence pushing it towards China, and of course finally offering up a soapbox from which bloviating progressives can congratulate themselves on being so gosh darn wonderful. That's it. If one believes in the threat of 'climate change' stopping Keystone does absolutely nothing to mitigate that fanciful threat.
Marvel at how nonsensical the rhetoric is - liberals caterwaul about how the pipeline would add to carbon emissions even though all it will do is transfer oil from Canada to Louisiana that regardless is gonna go somewhere pipeline or not and yet Obama defends his stonewalling of the project by saying there's no evidence it will reduce gas prices for Americans - this makes no sense since if you're worried about carbon emissions the last thing you should be advocating for is lower gas prices that encourage more driving.
But then of course Obama and his catamites don't need to make sense since the whole point of this charade is to grandstand in appeasement of the ideological pretensions of the eternally nonsensical, bereft of coherent thought uber left.
It's almost as if under progressive leadership the democracies of the west are in a competition to see who can govern worst.
