Governor Schwarzenegger is an idiot. He’s been listening to his liberal wife too much.
I’m getting sick of politicians acting as though they’ve been elected in order to lord it over the rest of us and tell us how to live our lives. We elect these people to represent us, not tell us what to do.
America has rich oil resources. There are alternative energy sources on the horizon, but that does us little good now. Americans consume as much oil as we do because we are prosperous. Our freedom and our self-dependence has allowed us to prosper in ways that people from other countries can only dream. We categorically rejected early on the concept that an upper-class should be able to hoard the most vital of resources and luxuries to themselves and have always found ways to make them affordable and accessible to everyone.
We have a ton of oil resources that need to be tapped. We need these resources NOW, not later. If new energy resources are just on the horizon, we will certainly have them before our oil runs out. I personally cannot see how we can even manage to develop new power sources if our economy isn’t running at full blast like a well-oiled machine!
These environmentalist arguments boil down to one thing: power. The elites want to hoard resources and luxuries like easy transportation to themselves. At the whole heart of the carbon tax scam is the notion that vital resources should only belong to those whom can more than afford them. They want to raise artificial price controls on these resources so that we “unwashed peasants” can’t afford them. These people, while claiming to be liberals, really have a special sort of contempt for the very everyday common people they claim to champion.
I sure am glad that Governor Schwartzenegger isn’t an American citizen. I’d hate to see what he would do if he suckered the American people into electing him as president.
Other than the mistake in your last paragraph, your post is beautiful...I am going to steal it...and I will try to remember to credit you.
Umm... I bathe daily.
Good post!
