Columnist Cynthia Tucker of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, a 2007 Pulitzer Prize winner, has found the enemy and he is us. During a recent episode of the Chris Matthews show, Tucker decided that because we are "addicted to petroleum" we are our own enemy just as much as communism was our enemy during the Cold War.
Tucker characterizes our "addiction" to oil as an "external threat" -- just like communism was -- and presents oil as an enemy that we should defeat. Tucker also makes excuses for Obama saying that it's "harder" for him to call on Americans to sacrifice because of this addiction.
Leave it to a member of the Old Media to construe capitalism, progress, a growing standard of living, and even our own fellow citizens to be as great an enemy as an antithetical foreign system that was sponsored by those that promised to destroy us. Leave it to a member of the Old Media to pinpoint our own system as the enemy...

I suppose you could use that article to defend yourself in court ~ if you engaged in a little self-defense eh!
“Tucker also makes excuses for Obama saying that it’s “harder” for him to call on Americans to sacrifice because of this addiction.”
I thought it was harder because he never worked for anything or made any scrifices himself...
Does she go around in a buggy and have a house without A/C electric lights or heat?
The WHOLE WORLD is “addicted to oil” - it’s called MODERN CIVILIZATION.
Let’s see Cynthia do without products derived from oil for even one day.
If something is said on the Chris Matthews show, does it make a sound?
Tucker has been an idiot for a long time.
There is a kernel of truth in what she says.
Our oil dependence is a liability, not an asset, because we import most of it.
People have been saying this for 30+ years (including 8 Presidents) ... so it’s not groundbreaking news.
She’s just grandstanding.
We’ve had enough talk, we need to DO something about our energy needs.
Nobody reads Cynthia Tucker except devout race pimps and Madame Cyntia Tucker.
If you think that’s all she is then you don’t know Cynthia Tucker.
She is a charter member of the Trained Women’s Assault Team.
This is just another instance that proves it.
Tucker characterizes our “addiction” to oil as an “external threat” — just like communism was — and presents oil as an enemy that we should defeat. Tucker also makes excuses for Obama saying that it’s “harder” for him to call on Americans to sacrifice because of this addiction.
Is Tucker Carlson that little dweebie guy with the bow tie?
No, these quotes are from Cynthia Tucker, not Tucker Carlson.
Tucker is your typical black liberal. Hates guns (except in the hands of the government) hates freedom (except sexual freedom) loves welfare, loves high taxes (no limit) hates the rich (except she gets about $190,000 a year for being a black female on the Urinal Constipation) loves worthless dependent parasites (as long as the rest of us are saddled with paying for them), etc. This statement from a leftwing idealogue is no surprise
The commie not only admits Americans are the enemy of her America; but that we are the commies for using oil!
She’s an Orwellian mind screw.
Of course,I’m sure Miss Symfia bicycles or rides shank’s pony everywhere she goes...doesn’t she?
