The Internecine Civil War among Democrats and Their Environmental Supporters Over Fossil Fuel



By Rob Janicki
Push is coming to shove among Democrats and their constituencies of supporters and financial contributors and it's going to get messy, very messy leading up to the 2014 midterm congressional elections on November 4th.  The eco-fascists are on the march and they're marching against their own benefactor and protector, President Obama and every other Democrat that supports continuing or expanding the development of fossil fuel energy sources for domestic uses or export.

Fossil fuel energy development in the United States is quite possibly the largest single contributor to keeping America afloat in these very trying economic times.  Reducing the development and use of fossil fuels domestically and for export is akin to cutting one's throat to release the evil demons in a bloodletting.  It's just voodoo magic of the seriously mentally impaired that walk among us, protest among us and, in some cases, engage in terrorist activities among us to advance their communist communal craziness.


We're not talking about a couple of fringe enviro-Nazi groups like the Earth Liberation Front (ELF).  We're talking about groups like the Sierra Club, the Center for Biological Diversity, CREDO and Earthjustice, all substantial, if not almost mainstream political action groups.  These groups have millions of dollars of political clout at their disposal plus a cadre of diehard supporters who are willing to go quite far to achieve their goals of bringing us back 300 years in time.  Then add in the terrorist groups like ELF, and you have a formidable political opponent.

This is what Democrats are facing, unrest among the usually dependable kook constituency groups that financially support Democrats, while these same Democrats give passing deference to these groups by casting them the occasional political crumbs along the way.

A split is growing in the Democratic Party, one that ought to rival the divisions on the right that the headlines trumpet. Greens are increasingly bitter about President Obama —annoyed that he's dropped climate legislation, scaled back green subsidies, ignored fracking. They've channeled their frustration into the fight against Keystone, warning that they'll turn their significant money and resources against Mr. Obama's party if the president approves more "dirty oil." Since this president cares about nothing so much as winning elections, he's sat on the pipeline for five years.

Emboldened, the eco-warriors are now dramatically upping the stakes, demanding that Democrats turn against the natural-gas revolution that has propped up the Obama economy. More than a thousand activists flooded last month to a Keystone-like rally protesting Cove Point, a Maryland facility that is due to be the first to export liquefied natural gas. The Ukraine crisis and calls for greater gas exports have given the issue a big new lift. On Wednesday 16 prominent green groups sent an open letter to Mr. Obama demanding he essentially shut down Cove Point.
