These stooges don't understand that North American energy independence is a huge security issue as well as being critical for the economy. This is not just a left-right issue, it is actually a matter of putting billions of $ into the hands of America's enemies and sucking hundreds of billions of $ of currency out of the US economy every year. Pathetic.

Matt Damon Caught Red Handed With Anti-Fracking Hypocrisy

Actor Matt Damon has a new movie coming out on January 4 called "Promised Land." Damon made the film with a goal of exposing the so-called havoc fracking wreaks on local communities. The problem? Damon received his funding for the film from the United Arab Emirates, a country poised to make billion of dollars in oil money if fracking is banned in America. This is a fact Damon denies.

Last week, pro-fracking filmmaker Phelim McAleer confronted Damon about the funding of Promised Land.
