End our dependence on oil — at least give an alternative to oil — and all of the above bad stuff will go away.

That is the long term most important security issue that faces the US.

Reading the All McCain All The Time threads around here shows that McCain Derangement Syndrome has infected FR.
Imagine it will be epidemic in about 36 hours.

What will all these BDS sufferers do when GWB is no longer POTUS? It’ll be like taking away their single most reason for getting out of bed at 11 o’clock everyday.........

MDS doesn’t have the panache that BDS does. Besides, “MDS”, the abbreviation, is already taken.................

“End our dependence on oil — at least give an alternative to oil — and all of the above bad stuff will go away.”

I’ve been hearing this since 1973, ain’t happened yet and I doubt it’s gonna happrn anytime in our lifetime.
1 Petroleum is just to good a source of enery. Far and away better than anything I’ve seen.
2 We are a petroleum based civilization, Gasoline/heating oil are just a smalll part of what we get from petroleum, it’s in darn near everything.

It’s simply a matter of economics. If a market has only one choice, then that gives great power to those who control that item. In our case it is oil.

It’s not disputable. Give the market a choice other than oil, and you’ll bring an end to the power of the mid-east jihadists.

Who is this asshat and why should anyone care what she has to say?

..all of the above bad stuff will go away.

The Left's reverence of their Holy of Holies, abortion, will still lead Dems to hate anything Bush.

[Loud Mime]

I believe that once the ticket is set, the republicans and conservatives alike will hold their noses and vote for the better course.

After all, we care about this country and will not abandon it or abandon our votes.

[xzins]

I agree with you.

It is blood sacrifice.

"End our dependence on oil — at least give an alternative to oil — and all of the above bad stuff will go away."

You hit it. The question that eludes is why. It seems we don't want to because if we did, we could not justify being in that area to protect oil.

But that leads to why do we want to be in that area. A ring around Russia, around China, protect Israel, control their oil, control their countries, act like superpower, enforce UN resolutions, well you get the idea. We could but we won't.

......he eschewed the realism embraced by the wise old men in his own party—the ones who bequeathed to him and his predecessor the radicalized chaos of Afghanistan, the “stability” of Saddam Hussein’s Iraq, ....., the Middle East “peace process, .....and instead pursued a foreign policy that looked and sounded more like Woodrow Wilson’s than that of the elder Bush.

But those who believe there is good and evil, that force is not inherently evil, that there is even a time for war, would rally around such a president, which may explain why many conservatives still support the president and many leftists never did.

Very insightful article.

Yes, Bush is "Wilsonian" in his politics. A good man with good intentions.

I have supported and will continue to support Bush in his efforts to bring stability to the mideast. However since I am a Jacksonian as opposed to a Bush "Wilsonian" I don't particularly like his insistence on spreading democracy. I'd be satisfied with friendly monarchies or dictatorships.

MDS and BDS are not comparable.

BDS is irrational while MDS is rational.

I got a notice from the GOP about voting in tomorrow’s primary and they were promoting McCain!!! I was so mad I wrote back and said I’d never vote for McCain and that my vote was going to Romney. I hope others do the same. The nerve of these foolish people.

[Marysecretary]

Mr. Bush is hated because satan hates Christ and anyone christian, and when they profess Christ in the White House, whew, that really ticks him off. He’s in the midst of a battle, a spiritual battle, for the soul of our nation.

[investigateworld]

Look at the bigger picture:

Bush attempted to put millions of Third World illegals onto the voter rolls. Their historic voting pattern is for the Party of Abortion and Sodomy.

One of them even told me, "If God didn't want me to vote for an abortionist candidate, then He would have made me a rich man".

Millions of these people have been properly instructed as to the consequences of harming a child, but the lure of free cheese is ... well beyond description so I'm told.

I don't know Bush's religious beliefs and don't really care too, but moi wouldn't want having enabled millions to risk their souls (via voting for an abortionist) on my rap sheet come Judgment Day.
