Why single out OR? The state is deep blue and a shining example of the damage that can be done by Liberals and environmentalists.

Nonetheless, I found the video captivating and wanted to watch it to the end. Recall, also, that what he documents in OR is what is in store for every state if the same reactionary forces, the environmentalists particularly, get their way.
