Fear only fear liberals trying to spread
Is it just me or have we seen an onslaught of fear mongering from the liberals in letters to the editor recently? Most recently we have seen the fear mongering about having the Keystone Pipeline being built.
They claim it will leak into the aquifers and the jobs are not that important (say that to an unemployed pipe fitter). But what they fail to tell you is that there are over 55,000 miles of oil pipeline already criss crossing the U.S. every which way they could. Some even crossing fault lines; should we fear another one? No.
They’re casting dire warnings about mercury poisoning and how its going to get all of us. What they fail to mention is that mercury is and has been in the atmosphere and water forever, as it is an element that is found world wide and naturally is spread through the air and water. We exhale mercury in our carbon dioxide.
Also in a Florida study from 2005 to 2009 in a large fish eating state, not a single person died from mercury poisoning. Of the 76 that got sick it was from eating copious amounts of raw fish.
Last but not least, the left is attempting to scare women, and buy their votes at the most laughable suggestion that the Republicans might outlaw contraceptives. As a most famous liberal president stated the only thing you have to fear is the fear the liberals are trying to spread. Or something like that.
