They are at it again -- you can tell it's getting close to election time and these subversive groups are gathering their troops in anticipation of November 5.

BUMP!

Is there any doubt that the Opecker Princes of Opec don't finance these Green Jihadists.

The Green Jihadists since the days of Jimmy Carter, who was bought out by the Saudi Opecker Princes, have worked 24/7/365 to make us more dependent on Opecker Oil.

They don't want any drilling for gas or oil in the lower 48 or the Alaska area.

Hopefully, one of these days, we will be able to see the money trail from the Opecker Princes to their best USA buddies, the Green Jihadists of America. The watermelons financed by the Opecker Princes to destroy our self reliance on our own energy.

"Since they're not going to get the Arctic, they want the Rocky Mountain West," New Mexico conservation activist Edward Sullivan said of the House members.

I've said it more than once on this forum. They will fight tooth and toenail to stop drilling, no matter where it is. Anyone who watched the senate RAT hypocrites during the Energy Bill debate will well remember the "quote du jour", "We're not against drilling, we just don't want to see it in this pristine wilderness area (ANWR)".

Yeah right. They are doing it in the Powder River Basin, they are trying to do it in New Mexico and they'll do it wherever drilling occurs.

Anyone ever seen the Otero Mesa Grasslands? Godforsaken area if I've ever seen one. Yates Petroleum recently completed two high volume gas wells in this previously unproductive area. They have been prevented from bringing the gas to market by, what else, enviro-lawsuits.

Just another missle attack from our homegrown al Qaeda (Sierra Club, et al).

Thanks for the ping. I just emailed this link to my NM oil & gas buddies.

Another Bump!!
I'm curious -- I subscribe to the e-version of the Journal. Can you access the referenced article directly, or do you get blocked? To get into the articles to read and post, I have to input a user ID and password, but I'm wondering if a non-subscriber can access a single story with a direct link. Someone let me know.

Case in point....Before Clowntoon....30% dependant.

After Clowtoon....50% dependant.

Slick-willie just shoved the oil problem further out into the future and kept the wacko's happy by buying into the OPEC crutch.

Index Bump

[BOBTHENAILER]

I dunno. I'll check it out and let you know.

Tried to get in to several articles and couldn't. They wanted my money.

I've got a oil&gas buddy here in CO.

She's my wife.

"...and the Alkali Lakes area of the Chihuahuan desert in the southern part of the state, according to the report."

This area is not fit for man nor beast and they have a problem with drilling?
Would be the best thing that ever happened in that part of the state.
I will say one thing, west Texas/NM well sites are maintained 100% better than they are here in east Texas.

[Dog Gone]

I hate these people. Why New Mexico, which relies heavily on oil and gas production to fund its budget, elected Bingaman as senator is not clear.

[dtel]

Hell, even the jack rabbits carry canvas water bags in that part of the state. ;^)

[BOBTHENAILER]

Amazing, isn't it.

[CedarDave]

God, yes. If I don't hit 90 mph between Guadalupe Pass and El Paso, I'm going too slow!

But the desolation is part of the problem for the wackos. Because it is an area so deficient in rainfall, scars on the countryside last for years. Which again they protest against. Wooded areas with birds and bunnies? Can't have O&G drilling and production here -- might disturb the wildlife. "National sacrifice areas" like Otereo Mesa? Can't have drilling and production here -- would leave scars on the landscape. Lose-lose situation except for the envirowackos.

Good question, I give all my NM pals grief over that continuosly and they tell me they are trying to unseat him.

I haven't tangeled with these groups in anything I'm doing yet, but, I am paying more to drill because of their prior efforts.

[BOBTHENAILER]

cool

[dtel]

There is only one solution...get the libs fighting each other.
Propose placing a watering station at each completed well site, so the illegals won't die of thirst in their quest for a better life. </sarcasm>
