Worthless 'flesh mob'?
“The US has not built a refinery in decades. “
The expansion of existing refineries each year gives us the equivalent capacity expansion of one additional refinery per year.
“Environmentalist” are suicidal. A poor United States would be much more harmful to the environment than a healthy, thriving nation.
I wonder about the feasibility of putting a refinery in Detroit, and shipping oil via the great lakes. It may not be as cost effective as a pipeline, but it would be very flexible. I don’t know if Detroit has year round port operations though.
Detroit does have a refinery, and also there’s a refinery north of there located in Sarnia, Ontario.
Damn! Why couldn't they have just beaten them instead.
You think they could expand one from NJ or PA up here to Maine?
Drill the sh*t out of Gaia; then build refineries on the carcass...
65 arrested.
5 "disappeared".
They just wanted to hold a sign and sit outside working on their tans. I'm guessing the sign was professionally printed... don't see any typos.
Poor things. They all look ragged and homeless. They couldn’t be on payrolls of competing interests. Politics!
Buncha leftard ashholes. Probably all of them traveled there via the use of fossil fuels.
I’m guessing they’re funded by China just like the old Ground Zero anti-nuke protestors were funded by the USSR.
China wants the oil but NAFTA says Canada has to give first the US first shot at the oil. If we don’t want it, they can sell it to anyone.
So, a 1700 mile pipeline goes to Prince Rupert, BC instead of the Gulf of Mexico and the oil is tankered to China.
Most likely, they’re all useful (to China) idiots.
Isn’t this the same place that members of FreeRepublic demonstrated every Saturday morning for 2 years during the Clinton Administration?
I don’t understand this story. What did they do wrong? They had a permit. I don’t read of any violence breaking out. Why did the police revoke the permit during the middle of the demonstration?
So, people here don’t like this group. So what? They have freedom of speech just like we do? I don’t understand why their permit to demonstrate was suddenly revoked. There must be more to this story.
Hookers do community service?
The buses to take the 'rent a union protestor' crowd home could not get close to the WH due to new 'rules' from the SS. The protestors were arrested (taken) to the Police Station, and they will be processed and then have only a short walk to the waiting buses.
The protestors are saved cab fares, and get to brag about being arrested and spending the evening in jail (waiting for the free 'meal' before being released to load onto the buses).
It's like we're fighting demons ... every move of theirs is a lie.
hey hey, ho ho,

Hmm. the idiots from 60 yrs ago apparently didn’t put a patent on that drivel.
You would think with all the ‘new blood’ they would have come up with a different ‘chant’.
And they call themselves ‘Progressives’....sounds more like Regressives.
If PROgress is moving ahead,
What does CONgress mean?
Present members (for a part) excluded.
That's the thing - there IS NO NEW BLOOD.
Dem 'protest' are run by paid professional pretending it's still the sixties... it's not. Some of the average 'protest' members at liberal rallies: Union goons - coerced by union bosses to show up, paid political members of the Democrat Party, citizens working off court ordered 'community service', and some old hippies looking to get laid ( the sixties ARE O-VAR guys).
The 'court ordered' thing is new - here's how it works. Nonprofit organizations - groups we think of as 'doing good' have people remanded over to them by the Court system to work off fines - or work off time in lieu of going to jail. Some are people caught shop lifting, flash mobbing, drinking under the influence etc. Nonprofits tend to be liberal and judges can't call one over the other - either they're legally a nonprofit or not... These are the people who become the liberal rent a crowd 'demonstrations'...
So x rmuen - there is NO new blood. Their numbers are small which is why there are no large demonstrations. They can't pull off large showings with paid participants, old hippies, smattering of Unitarians and union goons. Lucky for them they've got the press in their pocket... Our side would never be able to pull that scam without getting caught - they've been brazen enough to advertise on Craig's list looking for college age kids... ( keeping the illusion of the 60's going)... Dem protest are soooooo lame, but the MSM WANTS TO BELIEVE so badly - that - low and behold - they DO. They believe the 60's are still with us and that young intellectual journalist are waaaaay cool and will get all the girls. Or something like that - logic defies any other type of explanation.
