"the Democratic presidential candidates pretty much pledged themselves to the destruction of the energy economy of America."

Oregon Muse writes this morning,

"So, during the CNN Climate Change Town Hall Meeting, every single one of the Democratic presidential candidates pretty much pledged themselves to the destruction of the energy economy of America. They were falling all over themselves and each other into supporting every cockamamie energy idea ever thought up by imbeciles: punitive carbon taxes, stop all fracking, close all of the coal mines, and shut down oil refineries. Kamala Harris thinks the government should tell us what to eat and what straws to use. Bernie wants there to be fewer brown people.

"You can't make this stuff up. They actually got up in front of a TV camera and said these things. If I was an SNL writer trying to write a parody of the Democrats, I'd reject this for being too ridiculously exaggerated. Granted, it was CNN, so you know everyone else was watching 'My Mother the Car' reruns on Nick at Night, but still, I'm starting to think this was a stunt pulled by some hitherto unknown genius prankster deep down inside the GOP to see how big a fool he could trick the Dems into making of themselves. And aside from the minuscule audience, it looked like the prank was a spectacular success. All the Dems now look like a bunch of raving lunatics who want to hurt America. If our media was even within shouting distance of being honest, the Democrats would be finished as a national party."
