dontcha think?

All the obama cultists...

They are the culture of useful idiots.

Talk about the keystone pipeline.

Energy equals gas for cars, heat for homes, energy for industry , employment for people....basically a healthy economy

But the idiots want to starve America.

Lets ask them to give up the heat to their homes and their cars!

“Oooops, looks like someone overlooked something.”

And putin will say to the protesters to sit down and shut up because he has a pen and a phone, too.

How about a ‘Don’t call my bluff’ moment could have been containment. IMHO they are still a 3rd world country that may have been bluffed back into their own borders, this time. And yes, I think freedom is that important.

That means 11,450,000 Muscovites didn’t rally against Crimea intervention.

This doesn’t really make a lot of sense. There’s more to it I’m sure.

“Around 50,000 people rallied in central Moscow”

Doesn't matter, they all are Soros, brought to Moscow by Monsanto's black helicopters.
