Good question

Little Miss Attila attempts to answer:

Folks, what the hell is so much less delicate about the Gulf of Mexico than ANWR, where we could drill much more safely than in the Gulf? Nothing—that’s what.

Liberals believe certain places or objects which must be venerated in defiance of reason.  Muslims venerate Mecca, liberals venerate ANWR.  Muslims cannot tolerate pork, liberals cannot tolerate Guantanamo. I could go on, but you get the idea.  None of this makes any sense, or is intended to do so.

If you violate the Muslim creed you are an infidel.  If you violate the liberal creed, you are a fascist.

End of discussion.
