[quote who="Smoothseas" reply="4" id="3076460"]Maybe you should ask the farmers and water drinkers of Nebraska and surrounding states who rely on the Ogallala Aquifer. "About 27 percent of the irrigated land in the United States overlies this aquifer system, which yields about 30 percent of the nation's ground water used for irrigation." Other than that there is approx. 1 million bbl/day surplus of pipeline capacity coming down from Canada already and another pipelin

[quote who="Flakey101" reply="1" id="3076025"]As you said politicians have been going on about this since 1973. I hardly see this as a result of just Democrats in this case, BOTH parties have been pandering to the people on this matter, without ever doing anything serious about it. [/quote] It's mainly the Democrats who constantly pander to the environmentalists; there was no logical reason to deny that pipeline, other than sucking up to the environmental

Americans Taking it up the Pipeline in US Domestic JoeUser Forums

Since the 1970s, an endless parade of government officials and candidates has campaigned on how we must act now, to get free of Middle East oil. Yet, here we are, forty years later, still tied to the oil fields of Saudi Arabia and others, and every time some angry Muslim (is there any other kind?) throws a rock, our gas prices jump. Why? We only get approximately 14% of our oil from the Mideast, anyway; the rest comes from domestic drilling, Canada and Mexico. Yet, it s

Sorry, folks; my father-in-law passed away here a couple weeks or so ago, and I haven't gotten back here. I'll get to it. Sorry. But you know what? Screw it....I've been scrolling through the posts, and this has turned from a discussion about my original topic into a hateful flame war, the lion's share of that hate coming from the supporters of homosexuality. Big surprise there; we all know how tolerant and respectful liberals are. The righties on here h

Enough of this...isn't it? in US Domestic JoeUser Forums

When will enough be enough? When will someone in authority finally stand up and say “no more”? President Obama once again ignores constitutional strictures with his recent “recess appointments”, while the Senate was still in session. Bottom line, he simply said, “you’re in”, without bothering with the process of legal Senate confirmation. <span style="font-size:

You guys want us guys to accept your magical beliefs ONLY … so we can all make fun of the rest I guess, pure hogwash.

Interesting train of thought. I see your point very clearly. Liberals aren't interested in actually helping anyone; they just want power, and one fairly efficient way to do it is to get everyone hooked on entitlements, economic and social realities be damned. For the ones who don't get hooked, you simply impose laws and regulations, forcing them to conform, using the brute force of government. On january 1st, 40,000 new laws and regulations ca
