Mostly correct but these two words stand out as false to me.

“Shale oil (light tight oil) is rapidly emerging as a significant and relatively low cost new unconventional resource in the US,

These wells are neither cheap, nor long lasting. It requires more expensive wells and the wells don't last long a high flow rates. Which means you need more of them; we have to keep drilling just to hold a steady flow rate.

Exactly! Plentiful, cheap energy ruins their plans. Who says there is no God!

It would show that there is no shortage of oil and “green” energy can not compete with fossil fuels.

And yet the price of gas keeps rising, so the libe are happy about something.

Look at me, I’m SMILING! A great way to start an otherwise gloomy Friday morning.

We are right. But we still keep giving the bully our lunch-money, so we’re maybe not so clever as we’d like to think.

I’m too lazy to look up the numbers, but I suspect that the massive amount of new (and productive!) jobs created by this fracking boom is the only reason we can’t see that we are deep in a recession. The pitiful job numbers that dear-leader takes credit for would be horrific without this oil-boom, but he blathers-on selling his Global-Warming snake-oil and castigating fossil fuels.

So called (I hate the term) “Obamcare” won’t work, except as a massive and expensive rip-off of the tax-payer. It would be nice if we couldn’t afford it. Fortunately for the dummy-in-chief, we are willing and able to role up our sleaves and do all the work while he sells his schtick about Evil-Oil to the masses. That way, we can pay to lose our freedom over our own healthcare and feed and clothe even more bureaucrats to rule over us.

So how smart are we really?

Another Ransom Note where he uses a lot of words to say: “Neener, Neener!” And, as thackney commented above, the technical accuracy is a bit lacking, too.

we could significantly reduce the deficit, without drastically cutting benefits for a generation of Americans who have planned to count on it.

This is what kills me about liberals. They could have most of their GD stinking welfare state if they'd just STOP putting a drag on the economy. But they've got an ideology that isn't just about helping the poor, it's about hurting the rich, and by doing so they hurt everyone. God I hate these religious fools (Marxism is a religion as much as an economic theory).

My lib-in-law frequently says “oh, you just blame everything on liberals, don’t you” in trying to dismiss any pointing out of yet of “we’re right, you’re wrong”.

My answer is “yes, and rightly so - care to tell me how they AREN’T responsible?”
