So the CalPig has this bouncy tale where she shouts at her parents, who if they exist must be pushing the century mark.

I yelled at my parents tonight...
They had called to wish me a happy birthday, and we had a very pleasant chat...
Until somehow we found ourselves talking about fracking. And the Keystone Pipeline.
Now, they were Republicans for all the years I was growing up, and beyond...But about oh maybe 8-10 years ago, they re-registered as Democrats. They have been faithfully voting for Democrats for some time now. I could not be any more pleased!
But I guess some of their attitudes are still Republican.
And that's why I yelled at them.
So. I need good, solid references to show them the error of their ways, and I hope that you good people can help me out. They need facts.
I hope you can help.

"Please help me out with some facts" is one of the DUmmies favorite devices.
It's a device that invariably accompanies a blatant lie.
And doesn't everyone start an argument about fracking when an ancient parent calls?

2. I can't imagine you yelling at anyone.
Be honest with yourself: Do you think the references and facts will really help? Will they actually change their minds, when it's probably their emotions that ar causing them to believe this way? Will it be worth it?

3. Oh, believe me, I can!
I don't do it often, but I sure can.
The references will help, because my dad especially is not basing his ideas on emotions. He is a very hard-headed, intellectual person, and highly educated. There is nothing emotional about this for him.
It will be worth it, for sure.

6. One thing I pointed out
I have a family member who works in the trucking business. Back when the issue first came up, he was pissed at President Obama, because "we need the jobs"
Till I pointed out that there will be a couple years of jobs, and then they will go away. The pipeline is just a way to avoid paying truckers to move the oil, so that they can actually net reduce jobs.

7. The conflict is over how safe fracking is, among other things.
I pointed out that the chemicals used end up in the drinking water, and some people have been able to set their tap water on fire.
My dad thinks that fracking is an excellent way to get oil out of the ground. He also thinks that this will go on for a long time, and produce lots of usable oil.
I'm not sure if the CalPig is this stupid, or if she's using this bouncy to make fun of her fellow DUmpmonkeys.

Hell yes, the CalPig's parents would be pretty ancient, if they're still around.
The CalPig primitive appears to have been born around 1942, give or take a year or two either way, although she of course looks older than that.
If her parents had been 20 years old, at the very least, when she was born, they're older than the hills.

Yet you idiots endlessly demand the government do this with no end other then a couple years of union dues and then a locality left to pick up the cost of non production.

Leftists: yell first, look for facts later but stay mad the whole time.

Umm, no. :bs:
Not a single documented case.
It's a standard made up story spread by the pearl-clutching chicken littles.

If you are so against fracking it would only make sense that you have facts to back it up. Why ask people for them? Oh unless you are a sheeple. :loser:
