[QUOTE="OKC03Cobra, post: 2931434, member: 7518"] [SIZE=6][B]Editorial: Pipeline protesters win Pyrrhic victory[/B] [B][/B] [B][URL]http://www.grandforksherald.com/opinion/our-opinion/4172538-editorial-pipeline-protesters-win-pyrrhic-victory[/URL][/B] [B][/B] [B]There's a reason why Republicans soon will control not only the presidency, but also the Senate, the House, 33 governorships and both chambers in 32 states. The reason can be found in the Dakota Access Pipeline case. With its elevation of identity politics above all else, its twisting of facts to accuse others of racism, its fanatic claim of being above the law and its wild exaggerations of environmental risk, the protest helps explain why so few Americans are willing to give the Left power. The protesters won an important battle on Sunday, when their efforts convinced the Obama administration to block the pipeline. But it's likely to be a Pyrrhic victory, not only because the Trump administration might reverse it, but also because it deepens the public's distrust of modern liberals' governance.
