One can only ask, why would a Marxist president make the nation more vulnerable to oil producing Marxist countries?

So that those Marxist countries will have the leverage to do to the United States some day what they (and we) are all trying to do to Honduras right now perhaps?

The Democrat "No Domestic Energy Policy!"

• No domestic drilling.
• No new refineries.
• No new nuke plants.
• No new dams for hydro-electric.
• No coal.
• No shale.
• Deplete the SPR.
• Let Iran get nukes.
• Let Iraq fall to Iranian domination.
• No Canadian tar sands oil.

All of that puts the U.S. in a position that war for oil or
complete economic collapse will be our only choices.
You can't frustrate every source of domestic energy
without consequences. Our enemies will blackmail us
to the extent that we are vulnerable to blackmail.

The Democrats are leading us into a real war for oil.
A war we won't have the energy to fight.
A war we don't need to fight because we have our own resources.

I would only add to your list that we subsidize potential Marxist enemies at the same time.

Irony is..the damn oil is only worth what is worth because of American consumption. Who do these morons think is going to buy the oil once we are all living in tin shacks? The Chinese? LOL, they think they didn’t like us?
