Thanks. Though, my day has gotten crazy and I haven’t had time to read.
W/L mode today....
Contact your Congress critters to let them know that you are tired of high gas prices.
Greens, Liberals, LOVE High Gasoline Prices
"Quite unconcerned with the suffering of his fellow Americans, green lefty blogger Chris Bowers of Open Left is positively delighted that Americans are paying an arm and a leg for their gasoline.
Bowers opines that sky-high gasoline prices constitute a "major progressive victory" and are actually good for America: "Higher gas prices have created a broad shift in American behavior that is good for the environment and good for progressives." The fact that mass transit ridership is up, while driving is down, helps the environment, he argues.
Bowers contends that increased reliance on mass transit and reduced driving is good because:
* It helps the environment, by reducing our carbon emissions.
* It makes people more invested in social investment programs like mass transit.
* It will stunt, if not stop altogether, population growth in Republican leaning areas like exurbs.
* It creates a positive feedback loop, as the first three points here continue to reinforce each other in an upward spiral.Bowers's words help to drive home the point that environmentalism isn't primarily about saving the planet: it's about controlling people."
Lefty’s never think ahead. Americans will buy more wood stoves and outdoor furnaces that burn coal and wood. Then the left will moan about the trees and the air.
Boy howdy! And then there are folks who won’t be able to install wood stoves and outdoor furnaces, and will go broke paying for heating oil. Bet those folks will be real happy with the envirowackos.
You ALL are so AWESOME!!!
this has been wonderful!

sounds interesting, can’t wait.
I am so excited! Finally got my Drill Now bumper sticker and it looks exactly like that! Actually they sent us 2. It will go next to my McCain sticker on my rear window.
I’m still waiting on mine (about a week); how long did it take to get yours?
And the people who buy wood stoves just may be shocked to find that a city ordinance bans burning wood within city limits. (has already happened in a small city here in MN)
I think I might have made our contribution the Friday when our guys took over the empty House.
I’m interning at Cato this summer and am working the Cato University at the Hill events now.
So if I go over to house floor, there will be Republicans protesting on the floor still to watch, film, etc? Or have most left?
Also, are you allowed to film the action?
Thanks,
TexCon
Love that bumper sticker!
Should be mandatory for anyone (like me) who lives in
oil country! LOL!
“WE WANT THE BOEHNER BILL!”
