...and the Chinese are drilling for oil 80 miles off of our shore without a peep. That just goes to show what the dimocRATS and the greens are really up to. Take down America.

Will the libs go after China or will they keep hitting us because were a soft target? Of course they'll continue going after us.
Typical Republican congressman:
"Howdy. We're sorry. Can't we all just get along?"

I read an article last week that in the present course in ten years China will be using ALL the present oil production available.

Wait till the other 800million Chinese come online.
Although, I suppose the Watermelons will still find a way to blame the US.

China has now clearly overtaken the United States as the world's leading emitter of climate-warming gasesThat was a major accomplishment, since (outside the UN which is also located in the USA) the US Congress has been THE world's leading emitter of climate-warming gases for decades!
