Congress is not helping, but it’s too late anyway. We’re well on the way to the post-industrial stone age.

Preventing oil exploration has nothing to do with protecting the environment. It is one of many methods employed by socialists to make people more dependent on the select few who manage the country to create a strong centralized form of government. It’s an excellent way for socialists to destroy our democratic republic and render the Constitution, that is anathema to their beliefs, irrelevant.

If you read the article, it’s very balanced and informative about the role government has in restricting the availability of oil ... in the “comments” section a couple of DUers, David and Leonard, show their sheer stupidity!

I don't know, but somehow the Dems remind me of Wile E. Coyote in the Roadrunner cartoons. Every plan seems so perfect on paper, but always blows up in his face.

The higher oil prices go the more incentive to find a way to do without it. Like most endeavors in the human experience, if you set out to destroy something or somebody and you don't go about it the right way you end up just making it or them stronger.

”…The Democrats’ base -- wealthy white “limousine liberals”, and very poor people -- won’t be harmed…

Wanna bet? $11 per gallon gasoline will put a stake through the heart of the world economy making the Great Depression look like kindergarten recess.

The natural outcome will be anarchy, lawlessness, an ‘every man for himself mentality’ followed by endless war (global & civil).

If our ‘limousine liberals’ think they’ll survive this unscathed, they have another thing coming…IMHO.

The RATS have been planning this for about 30 years. Thats where all their energy has been. We're screwed. And the brain dead Americans haven't caught on yet.

The clearing price for gasoline is 4.00 per gallon. There is about to be big change, but it will come from McCain, not Obama.

In Canada, the price is $6.50 (American gallon) with neary a whimper from the collective citizen. It cost the local farmer about $1500 to fill his combine. I would be screaming.

We spoke with a Canadian oil worker who said it will be $9.00 by next year.

Do Nothing Nancy is working on a solution right now. Do you think vanity plates will be Mon or Tues?
If you like $5/gal, Thank Congress. If you want $10, Vote Obama.

Pray for W and Our Victorious Troops

This whole thing must be hung around Bill Clinton’s neck. If he had not vetoed the bill in 95 we would be using ANWR oil right now. Democrats are getting what they want.

Science fiction can often be more prophetic than people realize.

Heinlen’s Dune compared with today’s energy situation/desert conflict. Star Trek’s communicators and our cell phones. Etc, etc.
