We literally face wars of extinction that are related to the need for Middle East oil but the leftists are shutting the spigots everywhere. They are strangling us.
The Democratic Congress can pass an embargo on foreign petroleum. Price controls will ensure that the oil companies do not profit from the resultant shortages. Distinguished members of Congress, illegal aliens, and professional welfare recipients will get first priority on any available petroleum products. Congress will impose a declining annual quota on the energy use of all other Americans (except seniors) to ensure compliance with the Kyoto Stone Age Restoration Treaty and to reduce gas lines. Various other laws will restrict or forbid new energy exploration and continued production of existing oil and gas wells and coal mines. The military certainly gets last priority on any remaining petroleum products.
That's the Democrats' energy strategy. The Republicans' strategy consists largely of tax subsidies, clock manipulation, and pork-barrel spending. Few Distinguished members of Congress in either House or in either party seriously contemplate the serious issues of our times, and almost none dare propose consideration of any potentially difficult solution; witness the rapid demise of the vaunted Social Security reform plan and the general ambivalence even among Republicans to Islamofascist terrorism.

Tell them to piss off and if they don't like it, to come on down and protest.
