Am I the only one who wonders what could possibly be the agenda of any politician who would thwart our drive toward energy independence? Continuing to lock up America’s domestic energy reserves, including the energy-rich Last Frontier of Alaska, only equips dangerous foreign regimes as they fund terrorist organizations to harm us and our allies. I’m going to keep speaking and writing about this in the simplest of terms until someone can provide a simple answer as to why liberal Democrats don’t understand that we have safe, warehoused onshore and shallow water reserves waiting for permission to be extracted. They either choose not to understand the geology, science, and technology behind an “all-of-the-above” approach to energy security, or they understand it, yet for whatever frightening reason choose to be lap dogs to Chavez and Ahmadinejad.
Shoot, I must have lived such a doggoned sheltered life as a normal, independent American up there in the Last Frontier, schooled with only public education and a lowly state university degree, because obviously I haven’t learned enough to dismiss common sense (a prerequisite for power in Washington these days). Help me out, friends! Help someone like me – and the majority of Americans – understand why we would ever kowtow and bow to foreign regimes that hate us, instead of doing all we can to starve the beast of terrorism in our plight for security, prosperity, and peace.
There’s an obvious common sense answer to our need for security and energy independence, but don’t hold your breath waiting for common sense to surface in Washington – it’s an endangered species there. Obviously we must responsibly develop our God-given domestic oil and gas reserves right here, right now; we must conserve energy; and we must develop renewables that are based on sound science, not snake oil and favors for political pals.
Please read the following Newsmax article (posted below) summarizing GOP efforts to push the Obama Administration to produce a plan to potentially wean us off one source of dangerous foreign oil. (Of course, I think the prodding should be even more aggressive to shake up the naïve complacency of anti-development Democrats and some deer-in-the-headlights mainstream reporters who are finally realizing they’d been buffaloed into believing any politician had all the answers.)
We must understand the imperative nature of energy security, along with America’s life and death need to secure our borders. Baby, this is why I won’t sit down and shut up about the need to drill.
- Sarah Palin
that brings me to my gut feeling about the explosion....sabotage....muzzies
Also interesting is #3 in the Newsmax article...McConnell’s statement that BP helped write the cap and trade bill.
Yep...Palin’s definitely a RINO....I mean most RINO’s would say something like this...don’t you know!
Bump to read later.
((((((Palin Ping)))))))
Sarah Palin as usual, on the issues and giving answers.
No wonder some on FR who arn’t registered Republicans to start with and vote for third party candidates especially RINO Ron Paul the libertarian spend their time bashing Sarah Palin. They label Sarah a RINO when that is what the Palin bashers are supporting RINOs like Ron Paul.
The chance that someone could successfully label Palin as a RINO is the same chance that Obama will ask Sarah Palin to help him clean up the Gulf oil spill.
“...starve the beast of terrorism.” I like it, Sarah!
That’s right Sarah!! No more wealth transfer, from buying oil and other products, from our enemies OPEC. I put China in the same bag, they are not our friend, they pretend to be in order to get that huge transfer of wealth, aka, trade deficit. Their true colors are shown more and more and our wealth will have paid for the modern weapons China eventually uses against USA.
Duh. Duh, free trade. Duh, purchase products based on the price only, no thought to where/how/by who the goods come by. Just duh.
It’s obvious that she can never be President - not enough nuance or understanding of our debt to the rest of the world </sarcasm>
There goes that no nothing “quitter”’ RINO, prattling on about who knows what, again......
Hehehe...
God I love that woman.
Wow. Wow. Wow.
Yeah, that’s gonna leave Gibbs slobbering all over the place in the morning.
Sarah knows energy inside out,her opinion is to be valued by all with half a brain.
Here is one reason the Joker wanted drilling rigs out of the gulf.Check out post # 24.

I wonder if he’ll borrow the ol’ Daschle line: ‘we ought not politicize this (war) tragedy.’
Just another RINO statement issued by the RINO Governor Palin <\ HEAVY SARCASM>
