Obama Still Playing Politics With Pipelines

Once again the Obama Administration has interfered with the nation’s infrastructure and blocked the Dakota Access Pipeline after a Federal judge in Washington ruled yesterday that the project could proceed despite the objections of the Standing Rock Sioux Reservation.   The Sioux have objected to the pipeline claiming that it runs near or through land they hold sacred.

The funny thing, the pipeline pretty much follows the same route as existing pipelines that have already been laid down.

  1. They left out the part where a pregnant woman and a little girl were maced and other native people were bit by attack dogs.

    I don’t have anything against the pipeline project, but I hate to see attack dogs used on innocent protesters. Seems like the native people are always being handed the shitty end of the stick.

    I know that a lot of Indians side with 0bama. But there are still a bunch who hate the son of a bitch.

    Standing Rock reservation is where they killed Sitting Bull. Because he wouldn’t conform to government standards.

  2. Joe, Barry is keeping Buffet’s trains (infinitely more dangerous than pipes) full and rolling.
    Now, as someone who deals with Native Americans regularly, I sympathize with their plight, however that does not make them immune from bullshit.
    This pipeline is miles from their sacred sites.
    There are two full time archeologists that have the power to stop production.
    Enough crap. Get out of the way,

  3. If the natives are lucky a 110 car oil train will de-rail off the Missouri river bridge at Newtown into the Missouri river. Then we can have an active discussion over the relative safety of either system.

    Saying the standing rock reservation is where sitting bull was killed is similar to saying texas is where JFK was killed. Lots of area. Is it all sacred because of the murder?

    Native tribes have a vested interest in keeping their people poor just like the inner cities.

    Amazing that there are third world countries within the borders of America and the democrats want to keep it that way.

    Third world countries being Indian reservations and inner cites.

  4. Frank, Sitting Bull being killed at Standing Rock doesn’t make it a sacred place. Don’t know where you got that idea. I mentioned that just as some information about Standing Rock.

    The Sioux claim that the pipeline will violate sacred burial grounds and other places of historical importance to them. I don’t know whether or not that’s true. It won’t come anywhere near Sitting Bull’s grave site. I would raise hell myself if it did.

  5. The only “sacred place” I care about is Arlington and The Tomb of the Unknown. The Sioux would build a casino on Sitting Bulls grave and not care a spit.
    Just more social justice bullshit created by the progs

  6. Moe Tom, Sitting Bull was a great man by anyone’s standards. His grave will never be desecrated as long as there is one Sioux warrior alive.
    Custer was a cheap media whore who caused the treaty of 1868 to be violated and the Sioux to lose the Black Hills, BTW.
    😉

  7. Moe Tom, gambling casinos were not an Indian invention. Traditional natives don’t want anything to do with casinos or the welfare slave system set up by the U.S. government over a century ago.

  8. Unruly Ref. I’m sorry about Sitting Bull. Whether he was a great man or not, I have no opinion. But when the State of New York decided they needed an expressway so people could go to work and move around, they built the Long Island Expressway and ripped it right through Cavalry Cemetery in Queens, NY. It is an Irish Cemetery, with, at the time, thousands of Irish Catholics buried their. I guess back in those days pro0gress was more important than
    dead and buried people. Which, to me, makes sense. If America stopped building because of every grave yard and “sacred ground”
    we would be, well, we would be where we are today: Fucked up.

  9. That’s a good point, Moe Tom. Why should they get special treatment. They were placed on those reservations against their will anyway.

    My concern was about the attack dogs unleashed upon the Indians by pipeline security goons. This is a Nazi tactic. Am I the only one who sees that?
    It’s not mentioned on either of the links, but it is documented well enough.
