"The cult of environmentalism is a cheap way to indulge a vaguely leftist dislike of industrial capitalism while enjoying all the benefits that a high-tech, oil-fueled, free-market economy confers on them. Like the “telescopic philanthropy,” to use Charles Dickens’ label, directed at distant ghetto-dwellers or the Third World poor, the urban nature-lover conspicuously displays his concern over a natural world under assault by capitalism’s depravities. But he does so only from within a cocoon."

If the Republicans do NOT use this Keystone pipeline death sentence to beat Obama up on the lost jobs AND lost energy, and connect it and this president to the fact that gasoline prices HAVE DOUBLED since he took office - they WE DESERVE TO LOSE - because gasoline costs come right out of Joe Sixpax's pocket - an issue middle America can relate to!
(Sorry about the re-do..... had a huge error in the first reply!)
