There is a phrase that Socialist Jewishes like to say each other (with their hands tightly grasping all their Socialist Jewish munneez, of course!). That thing they like to say is, "We see the world not as it is, but as we are." It's from something called "Talmud," we guess? Anyway, horrible, loud, and disgusting embarrassment The Donald Trump had a rare moment of self-unawareness recently when he said windmills were horrible, loud, and disgusting, but did not say the same thing about himself. Weird, right?
Trump jabbered on to Neil Cavuto at Fox, claiming many terribly unfactual things, such as that we don't drill for natural gas (we frack for it apparently instead) and how boohoo Obama won't let us drill baby drill all the time forever (the number of rigs in the US is at an all-time high). Even Greta Van Susteren was forced to concede this, before explaining why it was yet another ObamaLie.
OBAMA: That's a fact. That's a fact. We've quadrupled the number of operating oil rigs to a record high. So do not tell me that we're not drilling. We're drilling all over this country.
(CHEERS AND APPLAUSE)
OBAMA: I mean, I guess there are -- there are a few spots where we're not drilling. We're not drilling in the National Mall.
(LAUGHTER)
OBAMA: We're not drilling at your house.
(LAUGHTER)
(END VIDEO CLIP)
VAN SUSTEREN: Does President Obama have his facts straight? Jonathan Strong from Roll Call joins us and is our fact checker tonight. So you heard the president speak. Does he have his facts right about the drilling and -- during his administration?
JONATHAN STRONG, ROLL CALL: The speech included a series of technically true but misleading statements. So the president is kind of correct in the sense that his policies aren't causing the current increase in gas prices because drilling takes a long time to come on line. It's a long-term process. And oil production is at the highest rate it has been at any time in the last eight years.
VAN SUSTEREN: So he's right about that, right?
STRONG: Yes.
VAN SUSTEREN: OK, so why is that misleading when he says that?
Well, because it must be, Greta, or people might think that Mitt Romney, Newt Gingrich, Rick Santorum and Fox News were all incredibly full of shit.
Oh right: and walking sebaceous cyst Mister Trump.
Wind is destroying the environment in many, many places. People are going crazy over the horrible, noisy, disgusting windmills. And they are horrible and a horrible intrusion, ruining communities, and solar is weak and has not been effective and is very, very expensive.
[...]
Well, we keep doing it because we don’t drill — we don’t get our own natural gas, where we are the actual Saudi Arabia of natural gas, and we could really fuel this country with it. But for some reason, we don’t use it. And it is a lot cheaper, it’s a lot cleaner, and yet we don’t use it because of a lack of leadership. It is hard to believe, but we just don`t use our product — we don’t drill what is right under our feet.
Then Donald Trump was beheaded by a rogue windmill. It was really sad, you guys. I cried. [ Newsmax, via ThinkProgress ]
Hey, she wasn't bemused. She was really sad.
If he thinks windmills are horrible and noisy and disgusting, he should spend a few minutes next to a fossil fuel burning power plant. Or the impact of a coal mine to get that fuel.
Or listening to the panicked screams when the sirens go off at a nuclear plant. Or even the roar of hydro-electric.
He's one of those people who like electricity but want to be ignorant of how it's donw.
