Racists: “House Democrats are expected to oppose legislation this week that would remove regulatory burdens for energy production on Native American land that tribes say have cost them tens of millions of dollars.” …And no, I’m not being facetious. It’s that exceptionally patronizing racism that thinks of Native Americans as a bunch of ambulatory cutouts that exist primarily to be picaresque, trendy, and above all poor. That those folks are instead people fully prepared to use fracking to turn worthless land into cold, hard cash apparently never occurs to the Greens. Or maybe they just don’t care. Hard to say, really.
One last note: yes, the Republicans love rich people. That’s why we try to create as many of them as possible. And the Democrats love poor people. And, hey! They try to create as many of those as possible. Suggestive, no?
