Citing Newsmax? Seriously? She's basically the 'cat lady' in the 'The Simspons'.

A drug resistant moron.

C'mon, man, you know how the conservative machine does this. Nobody is going to question the credibility of a source on the hateful right if it's something they feel, anyway.

I know that. It's just completely short-sighted, and I completely disagree with her. Caught myself in a bit of being really angry after reading her page. Plus I'm extremely saddened at the destruction of the Gulf and the coastal beaches / marshlands. It's some of the most beautiful land in America, and it's destroyed for decades. Not to mention the 11 people killed on the platform from the explosion.

i hadn't even clicked that newsmax link -have now! blimey - article number 4 is about immigrants (even legal ones) taking jobs from u.s. teens. if an immigrant is legal, surely they are a u.s. teen themself?

brilliant comment from the fb piece:

"We have three states in the northwest, not inckuding Alaska that have more oil than the midle east all together.Oil is a natural resource, can't be all that bad for the enviroment if God created it. Yes in heavy traffic areas the fumes are bad, but if it bothers you you can move to a less congested area.
As for what happened in the Gulf Of Mexico...Well was that all necessary? Milk doesn't spill unless someone tips the glass over, and most folks start the cleanup as soon as the spill happens."

yeah; and if you spill milk in the arctic, it won't been seen so much because it's white. oh hold on, i'm lost in my metaphor...

i don't get what's so difficult to understand. A COMPANY (regardless of country of origin) is destroying the ecosystem of an entire coastline of the US, and along with it is destroying the lives and livelihoods of thousands of people for generations to come. we're allowed to be pissed off.

but instead of caring about the ecological or societal impact, these friends are obsessing on this bizarre jingoistic preference for the health and wealth of the company responsible, simply because of the geographic location of their headquarters.

Honestly, the comments here are the first I'm hearing of this attitude. I'm with your assessment 100% Cacophony. This has nothing to do with England and everything to do with the company that's literally destroying our southern east coast as we speak.

so i suppose rattlesnakes, volcanoes, giant meteor showers, tornadoes, enriched uranium, solar flares, black widows, poison dart frogs, and oj simpson are completely safe and good for people, children and the environment in which we live, because God made them! oh my gosh. this woman is stupider than i thought she was.

i have to say, that that isn't a palin quote - it's from one of her fb followers...
