It is all the fault of the Rats and their eviromentalist Marxist buddy’s who want to take us back to the dark ages.

In 1978 we heard all the same things we are hearing out of the Democrats now. "Windfall profit taxes, investigate the oil companies, conserve energy, increase the CAP standards" 30 years later the Democrats are saying the same things in 20078 they were saying in 1978.

The whole reason we created the Dept of Energy in 1978 was to purse these green dogmas. Well it 30 years and trillions of dollars in Govt spending later. Where are we from following the Democrat Party's siren song on Energy Policy? The reason we are wholly dependent on the variances of the International Oil Market, instead of being one of the nations profiting by them, is because, for “environmental” reasons, we have spent the last 30 years as a matter of Govt policy, doing everything to restrict domestic energy production to in order to push silly “conservation” schemes

To blame the speculators for speculating in an Oil market made so ultra profitable for them by stupid US Govt polices is to blame the cart for being pulled by the horse.

WE, the people of the USA via the agency of those idiots we elect and re-elect year after year after year, are to blame not speculators, not the market, not the Fed Reserve and dollar policy. US for not developing our own resources and instead allowing the usual suspects to sing the siren song that we could have all the “Eco green” Govt polices we felt like but would never have to pay any economic prices for those stupidities.

Remember, McShamesty is one of those that would not let the bill pass to drill in ANWR.

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

Don’t forget the entire Florida delegation. Out of that bipartisan cabal, only one member supported drilling offshore from that state. All the rest, Democrats AND Republicans, should be spanked so hard that they cannot sit down for a week.
