Democrats Believe High Gas Prices are Good

Well, as everyone knows, gas prices are pretty high. And most people want them lower. Notice I said “most people.” I say that because there have actually been people I’ve run into who do not want them lower. And I was confused. Do many people really feel this way?

Actually they’re not as few and far between as you might think; in fact, it’s the official policy of the Democrat leadership in the Congress and Barack Obama. The policy is called "being green" or in otherwords, being a 21st century tree-hugger. They don't pitch the phrase "High Gas Prices!!" but that is the ultimate goal.

Here’s the deal: there is an element in this country who are happy that gas prices are high. Why? Because it means less gas is used and if less gas is used then it’s supposedly good for the environment. Don't you know, suddenly the enironment is so fragile that we're all doomed! Anyway, the Democrat Congress and Barack Obama put all other immediate economic concerns aside to focus on that. That means your family's struggles to fit gas into the budget are secondary to the environmental lobby's efforts to bring us back into the 18th century energy-wise.
