I live in North Carolina. The Republicans took over the governorship and both houses in the last election and with only few exceptions have done a great job.The media of course being the leftists they are everywhere hate them. One of the current ones is as in many states of allowing horizontal fracking.
Side note on Fracking: They have been doing fracking for most of the last century. What they did was vertical fracking, which means fracking drilling down. What they do now is "horizontal" fracking, which means once they drill down they then go sideways. That is what the debate is about. Not "fracking." Horizontal fracking is cheaper because you can drill down once, then drill horizontally in many directions rather than drilling down in every hole. It's more environmentally friendly for the same reason. And it's less obtrusive because instead of an oil field covered with rigs, there is a plain with only a few scattered rigs.
So back to North Carolina, the legislature is debating selling rights to gas miles under homeowners land, and having the oil companies compensate the landowners. So the media is interviewing liberal homeowners who want to stop it because they're liberal. Their argument? How can government use power to take their natural resource rights and use it to benefit a for profit company? It's just wrong!
Now let's go back to New London. The liberals, including every liberal on the bench, advocated taking the home from people who had lived in New England for decades and give it to a .. for profit ... developer. Every conservative on the bench voted against it. They kicked grandma out of her home, and beyond that eight years later the empty homes are still there, it wasn't even developed.
New London is a major story where people's home were taken from them. But the media and left are silent because it serves liberalism to not care. Then they have the audacity to use the argument they ignored for the power of government and use it for people who's home is not affected and they are going to get a check.
This, is why I hate liberals. They have no intellectual integrity. Their views are just group think positions which they justify with bull shit transactional arguments they don't even believe, which is why every argument they make on one issue they contradict themselves on another.
