A coalition of ranchers, farmers and native tribes are staging protests against the Keystone XL pipeline on the National Mall this week with teepees, horses and a sacred fire that will burn for days
The National Mall in Washington, D.C., will look like a scene out of an Old Western this week, as the Cowboy and Indian Alliance holds a multi-day protest against the Keystone XL pipeline complete with teepees, horses and religious ceremonies.
The confederation of ranchers, farmers and members of Native American tribes kicks off the week of protest and civil disobedience Tuesday, Earth Day, with a horse ride on the Mall and the erection of a ceremonial teepee soundtracked by live music from the Indigo Girls.

Looks like 5 horses and 10 people. What a protest!
From article: “Most of this week’s activities will feature about 200 participants, with a larger 5,000 or so expected for a rally Saturday. The permit says the park service anticipates 150 participants.”:
Well, the 5,000 peak is probably in their dreams unless they are giving out free firewater and doobies.
My kid’s band booster club could turn out more than the 150 oppressed that the park service expects.
Some protest. More like a fire drill at the local bathhouse and coffee shop on “Brokeback Mountain Day”.
Another Marxist, made for TV news propaganda moment.
This kind of poser BS is so common and transparent anymore, I can’t see how it has any effect whatsoever other than to pi$$ me off.
Because no one knows more about oil and geology than cowboys and indians.
Who cleans up the horse droppings?
LOL... You gotta good horse you don’t need no stinkin oil....
Well funded with $audi Dollar$ from oil profits.
NOBODY can see a pipeline once YOU BURY IT IN THE GROUND.
Horsies can trit-trot right over it, cattle and injuns, too.
Ummm...did they all get their on horseback? And do they all use wood fires to heat their houses...and cook their food? Political theatre of the absurd.
They had damn well clean up the horse sh^^ before they leave. IDIOTS!
LOL, kemosabe!
>>They had damn well clean up the horse sh^^ before they leave. IDIOTS!<<
