"No Offshore Oil Drilling"--Administration up to Something?
Right Side News ^ | Sunday, 28 March 2010 15:34 | Written by Kevin Roeten

Quiet words from Interior Secretary Ken Salazar on 3/5, directly indicated a new three-year ban, at least in offshore oil drilling leases. Pure facts dictate this move will kill any American initiative to produce all of its oil independently. More than 2/3 of the American public supports such a move per a Rasmussen poll. It is unknown why the Obama Administration would make such a virulent move, and not allow America to become more oil-independent in a time of major global political upheaval

...The criminals in the WH are selling rights to oil to the enemy in order to enslave the citizens and bring an end to the Republic. SOS, as yesterday and tomorrow. They want a civil war to declare martial law and get started on the real purge of the enemies of the dictator. We have to keep up peaceful, non-violent protest. Don’t give those bastards the satisfaction. We may all rot in jail, but, we’ll see them rot and stink in hell...

Only someone in denial and/or brainwashed would write something like this when obama has openly stated that the goal is the fundamental transformation of the United States of America.

Increase the cost of oil = increase cost of living = everything costs more = blame “evil” corporations = government takeover = goodbye freedom.

This is a pay-off to the Saudis et al. who helped finance his election. Jug Ears wants to see billions in petrodollars go to the Islamo facists. Jug Ears probably promised it to the Saudi king when he bowed down to him.

No one would be more unhappy than Jug Ears to see this country energy independent.

Boama said that he wanted to keep the price of oil high so people would not pollute the planet so much. It keeps world trade down also. Guess which rich arabs all this money goes to?

Harder to control the citizens if they have access to plentiful, cheap energy.

In North Dakota, we are drilling our own oil. North Dakota is in the black and has 4 1/2% unemployment. California has tremendous offshore possibilities, has a ban, and is deeply in debt. Ditto the Atlantic States.

Only on the Gulf, where offshore production is happening are things any better, and then other factors play into state employment fiugres.

Hmmmmm. Even an economist could figure this one out.

Wealth does not arise from service economies. We have to extract, produce, or utilize raw materials nad produce finished goods to create wealth. All else is just the inevitable decline which comes with scrubbing each other's toilets.

Ya know what’s funny, I just watched a report where Florida farmers are throwing away strawberries becasue they can’t afford to pick them and people (looks like the Obama crowd) are furious.

At the same time I wonder where the reports and anger is around not getting the oil that is right off the shore in our own backyard. It’s worth alot more than a few strawberries.

sigh

This is the most predictable policy move the a-holes in power have made since they stole the election (with the help of ACORN and the MSM.)

Sarah says “Drill here now”, so you know the left thinks the opposite.

My husband and I own and operate a small contract manufacturing plant. One of our products is used in offshore oil exploration, and we cannot produce them fast enough. The company for which we produce them has doubled its basic order 4 times in the last year.

Who are the ultimate customers? Mostly the Chinese and the Russians. We are prohibited from drilling and they are drilling everywhere.

Very short sighted on the part of our government.
