I don’t think there could be any better way to put it. Take it away Governor Jindal:
“There are no logical reasons to oppose construction of the pipeline other than an irrational liberal ideology that blindly and unscientifically opposes all forms of energy which they themselves do not deem to be sufficiently ‘green’ or ‘renewable’.“
Governor Jindal made these remarks in a speech to the Oilmen’s Business Forum up in the Canadian Rockies. In his speech earlier this week, the republican governor blamed “blind leftwing ideologues” for holding up construction of the proposed Keystone XL Pipeline. He mentions his left-wing opponents 16 times in the speech. According to the Wall Street Journal, “In sharper terms than many others in his party, Mr. Jindal portrays the Democrats as elitists who oppose all forms of traditional energy production and explicitly favor higher energy prices”.
Obviously coming from Louisiana, a state very familiar with the oil industry, Mr. Jindal is no stranger to the dangers and, more importantly, benefits of access to oil. The importance of this pipeline cannot be understated. And additionally, all the safety requirements have been met. What else needs to be done in order for the environmental extremists to understand they are simply getting in the way of an important life-sustaining investment?

Unfortunately Jindal doesn’t understand the need to end mass immigration. He’s actually called for increasing legal immigration, which is just absurd.
If he had called for reshuffling the current mix of visas, and moving away from extended family chain migration towards a more skills-based system that would be understandable, but to just mindlessly call for increasing already too-high levels of legal immigration is crazy. I’m guessing that as the child of immigrants who has gone on to embrace conservative principles (except on immigration of course), he way overestimates the appeal of conservatism to immigrants, causing him to embrace a liberal view on immigration.
He needs to wake up though, as his prescription for immigration reform would likely hasten the demographic destruction of conservatism.

...The Republican Party must embrace more legal immigration.
Unfortunately, like many of the major debates in Washington, immigration has become a stalemate-where both sides are imprisoned by their own rhetoric or attachment to sacred cows that prevent the possibility of a balanced solution.
Immigration Reform will not occur until Conservative Republicans, like myself, become part of the solution. I am here today to begin that conversation.
Let’s start that conversation by acknowledging we aren’t going to deport 12 million illegal immigrants.
If you wish to work, if you wish to live and work in America, then we will find a place for you...
This is where prudence, compassion and thrift all point us toward the same goal: bringing these workers out of the shadows and into being taxpaying members of society.
Imagine 12 million people who are already here coming out of the shadows to become new taxpayers.12 million more people assimilating into society. 12 million more people being productive contributors.
[but he’s not in favor of amnesty, snicker, definition of is is]
So? What difference does that make any more!!??
The template has been set and accepted by the left. look for a Mexican President within this generation...
Thanks Kaslin.

Perhaps someone should work on teaching conservatives how to carefully word things in such a way as to acknowledge the existence of people with corrupt motives, but without implying that such motives do or do not apply to anyone in particular. Attempts to describe a leftist's motives in straightforward factual terms will bolster rather than dispel voters' Liberal Mind Fog. Penetrating the LMF will require careful structuring of language which will be true when parsed normally but which will, when filtered through LMF, not conflict too badly with an LMF-infectee's "reality". As a former liberal I think I have a much better understanding of the LMF mind than would most conservatives, and would be happy to share my understanding with anyone who could teach such a course, though I doubt I could do much teaching myself.
BTW, I really liked a pro-gun spot some years back in which stated that some anti-gun mayors wanted to shred the Constitution [I forget the exact wording] but didn't mention any names. By its own terms, the ad was only complaining about anti-gun mayors who wanted to shred the Constitution. Consequently, there wasn't any reason any honest mayors should have been offended, since every mayor would either not want to shred the Constitution (in which case the ad wouldn't be talking about them), or would want to shred the Constitution (in which case it would be describing them truthfully). Not only did mayors who squealed like stuck pigs in response to the ad say more about themselves than the ad itself ever did, but their words were able to penetrate the LMF of their supporters in ways no opponents' words possibly could. Such squealing by a mayor isn't likely in and of itself to dispel a supporter's LMF, but it will make that person feel less comfortable with the mayor and thus more willing to accept slightly-uncomfortable truths from other sources.
If he entertains the idea of running, he is being destructive to our side, and so is anyone who supports him. The Canadian birth thing is like Palin’s trampy daughter’s unwed pregnancy - a gift to the hostile media.
Cruz was born a citizen of the United States. There is no requirement that a candidate be born in the United States. That canard was invented by birthers who promised that they would prove Obama was born in Kenya. Well, they never did prove what they promised they would prove and their "born in the USA" claim died in the same crash that killed the rest of their claims.
Ted Cruz was born a citizen and is eligible to be president.
Ted Cruz - 2016.
Yeah?
Then what about them breaching hydroelectric dams, destroying the coal industry, coal gasification, the nuclear industry, the auto industry, every bit of opposition to fracking, denying drilling permits, the ban on offshore drilling, "Carbon footprints" ???
Although it may have little to do with environmentalism, it has everything to do with communism...namely the Watermelon party....green on the outside, red on the inside.
A natural born citizen. Jindal
He's a citizen. He might also be an Indian.
Father was a Cuban citizen when Ted Cruz was born. Which makes Cruz a Cuban citizen at birth.
“Bobby” Jindal (born June 10, 1971)[1] is an American politician and member of the Republican Party who serves as the 55th and current Governor of Louisiana and the Chairman of the Republican Governors Association.[2][3]
Born in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, to immigrants from India, Jindal studied biology and public policy at Brown University from 1988 to 1991. After receiving his M.Litt in political science from New College, Oxford, he worked in McKinsey & Company and interned for Representative Jim McCrery of Louisiana. In 1996, Governor Murphy Foster appointed Jindal Secretary of the Louisiana Department of Health and Hospitals, and in 1999 he was appointed President of the University of Louisiana System. In 2001, Jindal was appointed as the principal adviser to the United States Secretary of Health and Human Services by President George W. Bush.
He first ran for Governor in 2003, winning a plurality in the open primary but losing in the runoff to Democrat Kathleen Blanco. He then won a seat in the United States House of Representatives in the 2004 elections. The second Indian American in Congress, he was re-elected in 2006. He ran for Governor again in 2007 and secured an outright majority in the first round of balloting. He was re-elected in a landslide in 2011. Politically conservative, Jindal opposes abortion, same-sex marriage and flag burning, while supporting gun rights, a border fence and teaching evolution with critiques that may include intelligent design. A Roman Catholic convert from Hinduism, Jindal has been married to Supriya Jolly since 1997, with whom he has three children.
The biggest beneficiary of the Keystone XL pipeline NOT being built is Warren Buffett, who happens to be a very good friend of Barack Hussein Obama, and not-so-coincidentally has a huge stake in the Norfolk Southern Railroad, one of the primary transporters of OIL in the United States.
