The great pipeline sellout - chicagotribune.com
Sure, the pipeline would have produced thousands of truly shovel-ready jobs. Sure, delay could forfeit to China a supremely important strategic asset — a nearby, highly reliable source of energy. But approval was calculated to be a political loss for the president. Easy choice.
It's hard to think of a more clear-cut case of putting politics over nation. This from a president whose central campaign theme is that Republicans put party over nation, sacrificing country to crass political ends.
Blog: How Newt Could Make Amends on AGW
But Democratic politicians cannot forever avoid a debate on this subject. There are doubtless any number of informed scientists on the skeptics side, beginning with Lord Christopher Monckton, who would coach Mr. Gingrich on facts and figures necessary for a good debate performance. Therefore, Newt Gingrich could make amends and provide a profound service -- and a clear choice -- to the nation by championing the anti-AGW position in debates against the stalwart support of the AGW hoax that permeates the Democratic Party's policy platforms. So let us see a "Lincoln-Douglas" style debate on the Anthropogenic Global Warming "crisis" with Newt as the champion of sensibility i.e. "climate serenity". Inevitable media coverage, despite the bias of the MSM, will serve to spread the word about the failing hoax - a national and international delusion. We must return to sensible domestic energy, national security, and pro-growth employment policies in order to achieve economic progress and a return to prosperity based on secure energy supplies provided by shale gas and oil mined in North America.
