It’s Not Pining For The Bloody Fjords
By Mitch Berg
Joe Doakes from Como Park emails:
Leftists despair when their own principles collide, leaving it impossible to decide who to hate. Example:
We all want clean energy. Windmills seem like the perfect answer, opposed only by Conservatives who love Big Coal. Hate Conservatives, right?
Except birds fly into the blades and are killed, including protected species like the American Bald Eagle. In November, Duke Energy was fined a million dollars for killing birds at its wind farms. So hate Progressives who promote wind farms? Or hate companies that produce clean energy?
On December 9th, Obama’s Interior Department released new rules giving wind farms a 30-year permit to kill birds, including bald eagles. So hate President Obama?
Imagine if a Republican president had done this. No wonder Liberals are distraught these days. It’s just so hard to know who to hate.

When it’s the only thing you actually create, you can understand why they get touchy about doing it right…
