Problem, dems and greenies in government refusing America to prosper and blocking all logical and readily available resources for non existent theoretical green energy.

The 15% of earth worshipers are holding the rest of the country hostage.

Pray for America

Obama want’s to screw the job creators, and limit the resources available to expand.
He wants to INCREASE THE COST OF BUSINESS through:
- Higher energy prices,
- Higher healthcare costs,
- Higher taxes,
- Increased regulatory restrictions!

Using the above tactics to shut down American business and industry results in more people DEPENDENT ON THE GOVERNMENT!

This is the destruction of capitalism and the American way of life!

In 2007 under the full force of the Bush tax cuts, the Federal Government had the highest level of tax receipts in history.
Lower taxes encourages business expansion and more employment, resulting in more people PAYING taxes and FEWER people needing “entitlements”.

THAT is the America I want!

Of course its commons sense and is good for America....but Obama wants us to be third world country because of his distaste for America.

Cue the libs counter argument-”But it would take 10 years for any of this to get to the pump!!”
They been saying that for 30 years now, it seems. The last time was just a couple years ago when it shot up then.

Drill, baby, drill, build new refineries, employ 100s of thousands or more to drill and refine, watch America rise from the ashes...what’s the prob with that?
Oh yeah... that’s right, that would be the sensible thing to do!
We don’t do that anymore.
:(

The one question that I have never heard answered is, “Why are we doing this?” And...who is benefiting from this policy of importing our oil from the Middle East or South America?

The one thing that I have not heard discussed is the real possibility that Mo will torch the oil production of Libya if he is driven from power. He is living in the dillusion that “his” people love him. I suspect that if push comes to shove he will not leave oil production to the forces that drove him from power.

Then if he does survive, he is going to exact a price for that oil. And the Euros will pay it, especially Italy.

I have been thinking about the release of the Lockerbie mastermind, with the help of BP and the UK Gov. Now we learn that Mo was the real mastermind of the plot.
My question is WHY is BP still allowed to do business in the U.S.? And what possible rationale could this Admin have for refusing to issue emergency drilling permits, opening up ALL drilling in U.S.? Maybe it’s time for the U.S. to become an oil EXPORTER, rather than the opposite.

Always remember that the liberals biggest fear is that there are too many people in the world. They will do whatever they can to reduce the population of the planet, and euthanasia and starvation are viable options to them.

They want to reduce the population of leftists; that's fine with me. Whenever I encourage them to jump off a bridge or some such; they ALWAYS decline.

Common sense is missing from the POTUS's agenda...as is what's best for the country.

Un-American activity in the WH.

This is the destruction of capitalism and the American way of life!

or in obama’s words:
“We are just five days away from fundamentally transforming the United States of America!”

. . . and the crowd roared with delight!

oil is a commodity market

So just by announcing that we are going to drill on every square inch that might have oil, prices would drop in an attempt to get us not to drill.

It’s not common sense if your intentions are to destroy America and setup your own form of socialism.

If your goal is the destruction of America, it is common sense.

In this case the motivation is malice, not incompetence.

The excuse is drilling now won’t help as the oil won’t be flowing for another five years!

Which means, when the LAST gas cruch hit the same excuse was used to prevent drilling. If we had drilled back then, we would have that oil FLOWING NOW!
