Sarah Palin keeps hitting...
Sarah Palin pummeled Team Obama over the news yesterday that the government will fund Brazilian offshore oil development and research but deny US companies access to oil deposits off our own shores.
From her Facebook page, via Free Republic:
YOUR TAX DOLLARS HARD AT WORK: FIRST CARS, NOW FOREIGN OIL.
Today's Wall Street Journal contains some puzzling news for all Americans who are impacted by high energy prices and who share the goal of moving us toward energy independence.
For years, states rich with an abundance of oil and natural gas have been begging Washington, DC politicians for the right to develop their own natural resources on federal lands and off shore. Such development would mean good paying jobs here in the United States (with health benefits) and the resulting royalties and taxes would provide money for federal coffers that would potentially off-set the need for higher income taxes, reduce the federal debt and deficits, or even help fund a trillion dollar health care plan if one were so inclined to support such a plan.
So why is it that during these tough times, when we have great needs at home, the Obama White House is prepared to send more than two billion of your hard-earned tax dollars to Brazil so that the nation's state-owned oil company, Petrobras, can drill off shore and create jobs developing its own resources?
That's all Americans want; but such rational energy development has been continually thwarted by rabid environmentalists, faceless bureaucrats and a seemingly endless parade of lawsuits aimed at shutting down new energy projects.
I'll speak for the talent I have personally witnessed on the oil fields in Alaska when I say no other country in the world has a stronger workforce than America, no other country in the world has better safety standards than America, and no other country in the world has stricter environmental standards than America.
Come to Alaska to witness how oil and gas can be developed simultaneously with the preservation of our eco-system. America has the resources. We deserve the opportunity to develop our resources no less than the Brazilians. Millions of Americans know it is true: "Drill, baby, drill." Alaska is proof you can drill and develop, and preserve nature, with its magnificent caribou herds passing by the Trans Alaska Pipeline System (TAPS), completely unaffected. One has to wonder if Obama is playing politics and perhaps refusing a "win" for some states just to play to the left with our money.
The new Gulf of Mexico lease sales tomorrow sound promising and perhaps will move some states in the right direction, but we all know that the extreme environmentalists who serve to block progress elsewhere, including in Alaska, continue to block opportunities.
These environmentalists are putting our nation in peril and forcing us to rely on unstable and hostile foreign countries. Mr. Obama can stop the extreme tactics and exert proper government authority to encourage resource development and create jobs and health benefits in the U.S.; instead, he chooses to use American dollars in Brazil that will help to pay the salaries and benefits for Brazilians to drill for resources when the need and desire is great in America.
Buy American is a wonderful slogan, but you can't say in one breath that you want to strengthen our economy and stimulate it, and then in another ship our much-needed dollars to a nation desperate to drill while depriving us of the same opportunity.
- Sarah Palin FYI: Barack Obama's top supporter George Soros is heavily invested in Brazilian oil- Petrobras. Soros made a major purchase last week before the news broke that the US would invest in the Brazilian oil company.

Yes, but what do they think life will be like under “communism?”

OK, FRiend. Compliment accepted and previous chafing (not offense) at your initial post has been let go of. ;-)
Great graphic. Saved for use as a letter head ... or something.
Communists are stupid and why it ALWAYS fails.
Good.
Until next time.

NEVER FORGET

SOROS’ very own Attorney now has a TOP SECRET Clearance as OBAMA’s Top Legal Advisor...
...for the entire Dept. of DEFENSE.
In a time of war
with America’s own FREEDOM
now directly at stake
right here at home.
NUTS..!!!

NEVER FORGET

Last week in Houston, 3,500 people turned out to protest Obama’s cap and trade policy and global warming bill. I bet not very many people heard about it among all the health care town halls, but we can’t let these anti-domestic energy bills pass while we are all protesting Obamacare.
Every major action that Congress has undertaken since the stimulus bill has been aimed at unionizing the work force under the SEIU, the card check the cap and trade and now Obamacare.
Wow.
Ping to post #6!
Or, as Rush would say "With talent, on loan, from God."
:-D
Obama and all other radicals envision a post industrial socialist world where production of goods is limited to supplying only a small intellectual elite that runs the world while the rest of us peasants and insects are relegated to living the simple pre industrial life style they envision us deserving.
Wow! I love this woman. She’s obviously planning on running for something, and she’s doing a damned fine job of holding the First Comrade’s feet to the fire. Better than most of the elected R’s.
What a doof. I can’t decide who looks like a bigger dork on a bike, him or John F’n Kerry. Did I mention Kerry was in Vietnam?
Funny! Now I’ve got the damn song stuck in my head, but I like it so that’s OK.
Actually, I'd think if one person watched his show, what it'd make would be news.
Woo hoo.
And you know what I love most about this woman, it's energy policy.
That goes along with the 0bama policy of allowing Iran to have nuclear reactors for "domestic energy production", but here in the good ol' US we get windmills.
This administration would be funny if it weren't so tragic.
That is the truth ... we all have a measure of talent on loan form God.
Some more than others. Sarah has an extra portion. MO.
