There has been a great deal of speculation about whether the recent East Coast earthquake was related to various issues. With tongue-in-cheek, some have inferred it was due to a massive shift in little known faultlines they call the "Bush's Fault," or the "Obama Fault." Others said the epicenter was somewhere around an old graveyard, and it was the result of our Founding Fathers rolling over in their graves.
Now there is a new allegation. This earthquake is caused by...us. Well, it's caused by our desire to put fuel in our vehicles, and so the new allegations are that this earthquake was actually caused by fracking. Fracking is the process used to fracture rock along natural formations so that oil and gas can be extracted and used. Expect the enviro-extremist religionists to go crazy with this material and try to push it to the top of the news cycle. Never mind the need for hard data. For example, fracking is used all over Weld County with nary an earthquake nor a hitch. But when it's started back East, it becomes a problem? At the very least, this isn't news; it's speculation. A more plausible explanation may be better connected to the Founding Fathers. (Link here for article about earthquake and fracking.)

Reality and opinions that come from the left has become predictably more and more hilarious. But have no fear for their life span is like a roll of toilet paper.....the closer it gets to the end, the faster it goes.
