The other day I posted “WHO TO BLAME” for our fuel costs. That would be the Democratic Party and three influential people (John Flicker at 212-979-3000, Frances Beinecke at 212-727-2700, and Von Noppen at 510-550-6700) destroying this country under the guise of protecting the environment. And let’s cut to the chase, the Democratic Party is not an American party anymore. It’s a Marxist Party and the problem we’re in is a government created one through decades of the Democratic (Marxist) Party incrementally restricting access to our own natural resources, onshore and off by selling a bunch of lies to the American public. Now, we’re viewed by the rest of world as insane. We invented offshore drilling and now the rest of the world is using our technology, but we’re not. Anyone who thinks this about the environment answer me this, why is it that the only time you hear anything from these jerks is when we want to drill? The Chinese and Cuba are going to start drilling in the Gulf off our coast, not a word, no protesting at all. Old Hugo in South America can drill all he wants, not a word. There are offshore rigs in the North Sea pumping oil like crazy, but no protesting there either. So much for it’s all about the environment.
The bigger question is why are Obama and the Democrats scared to death of us getting our own oil? Who is holding their feet to the fire to oppose this even when 70% of Americans want offshore drilling to begin? I just visited the DNC website and it’s like I expected, full of BS and no substance. The same old mantra; reduce our dependence on foreign oil…how? Investing in our workers and infrastructure…what infrastructure? Providing American consumers with broader, more responsible choices…what choices, and what does this mean? Same old excuses, like it’s going to take 10 years to get any of this oil online. Are freaking kidding me? Does anyone think to ask Obama or Schmucky Schumer how long it’s going to take their pie-in-the-sky alternatives to come online?
The problem is supply, or the lack of supply and the Demcrat’s solution is to reduce consumption at the same time taxing the oil producers into obliven. Basically, they want a stagnant economy, no growth, and no innovation. Their solution will result in less supply, not more and higher prices, not lower. We’ve done this before, in the 70s. The reality is, the Demcrats want these higher prices, they want you to feel the pain, even Barack has publicly admitted he does not have problem with these high prices. I’ll repeat that again, OBAMA DOES NOT HAVE A PROBLEM WITH HIGH GASLOINE PRICES. In fact, he endorsed a gradual increase of prices to where we are now. And you fools want this cluess, anti-America, inexperienced, dumbo-eared dolt to be President? Don’t get me started on this idiot, because I intend on outlining in detail what America would be like under this Marxist.
How about the Democrat’s and Obama’s endorsement of the ethanol boondoggle? Again, another government created f@@kup. Because of this insanely stupid idea that they still won’t let go of, we’re removing 30% of our food (corn) from the market to create 3% of our fuel. So now, food prices are inflated on two fronts, cost of tranportation and 30% of it removed from the market. The next most important resource we’re going have to worry about is water because to create one gallon of this crappy fuel we have to use 1700 gallons of water to do it. This from the same people who forced regulation down our throat regarding the amount of water we can have in our toilet tank because they were concerned about us using too much.
The Democrats and Obama are mentally ill, they’re dysfunctional and 100% disconnected from reality.
The closer we get to the election, the more my revolutionary indicator module heats up and glows.
Amen !
I agree with 98% of the article. It’s true that the democrat party has become a bunch of international Trotskyites; they are promoting international Marxism over the interests of the American people.
Where I disagree is over gas prices. I don’t like paying $4.00/gallon for gas. However, if prices stabilize, the economy will adjust. Just like it has before. However, keeping the price of a barrel of oil stable at around $100/barrel would not necessarily be a bad thing. It would make economical extraction of oil from oil shale, and also make economical conversion of coal to oil.
The benefit is that we shed our dependence on terrorist or totalitarian states and stop the flow of wealth from our nation to them. That would be good for the economy and our prosperity in the long term. Short term, we have to suffer a bit of pain to make it economically feasible and profitable.
The problem is the main point of the article; the Trotskyites don’t want us to exploit our own resources. They’d rather herd all of us onto their collective farm of gray drab communist misery.
There seems to be a lot of proposed legislation that would result in that. Each one by itself capable of crippling our economy.
There's a theme here.
