Singing to their choirs
An energy aide to Sen. Orrin Hatch offered a popular opinion on the environmental/energy crisis to an approving group of western mining executives:The conclusion that humans are causing global warming is bunk.J.J. Brown went on to blame the energy crisis on "anti-human activity, anti-coal, anti-oil" Democrats who won't support more aggressive drilling and mining energy resources on public lands.
As perfectly reasonable as these statements sound to most Utahns and their elected leaders, it drew a strong reaction from the Socialist Republic of Salt Lake* Tribune editorial writers:
Having established, erroneously, that we have no impact on climate change, Brown addressed energy independence, defined by the Republican Party as raping America's coastlines, wildlife refuges and other sensitive areas with oil rigs. Yes, and giving oil companies carte blanche to tear up public land in Wyoming, Colorado and Utah to extract oil from shale.The Trib's Bolsheviks go on to argue that it is the Republicans, not the Democrats, who are blocking sound energy policy.
Red oil well icons in the photo above shows areas open to oil exploration.
*As some of my readers like to call it.

Interesting. Tribune endorses Bush, twice. Tribune always endorses Hatch. Tribune editors are socialists? Hardly. They are right-wing neocons who take their orders from Singleton, just as the deseret morning news takes its orders from Monson and his herd of ilk.
Your photo, though, is appropriate. Oil wells surrounding the delicate one. Bush wants it. Hatch wants it. The neocom extremist editorial writers want it, though they pretend not to.
Good lord, could this hack and anti-intellectual Brown get any MORE free pub from the Tribune? A news story last week, a lead editorial yesterday and now a blog post.He's a Hatch hack and has no credible science background.
Could we perhaps just ignore him now that he's gotten every inch of media coverage from your paper that he could have dreamed of?
The Tribune is definitely socialist. They endorse Republicans they know are going to win in Utah anyway. That just gives them cover. Here's the proof of Tribune liberalism
- opposes new oil exploration and production
- opposes virtually all tax cuts at any level of government
- supports virtually all tax increases at any level of government
- opposes Supreme Court decision on Second Amendment
- opposed amendment 3 (gay marriage)
- opposed vouchers
- opposed Paycheck Protection
Obviously, most people will take the same position as the Tribune on at least one of the above, but not all of the above, unless they are socialist.
So go read the Deseret News... it's becoming more Mormon.
