as I said on the Maxine Water’s thread recently, this is
Classic Congressional Hearing 101:
Bloviating 99
facts 1
In just seconds during the Glenn Beck show tonite a 3 second conversation between Glennn Beck and T. Boone Pickens:
Glenn Beck (playing Congress): “What is goin’ on heah”?
T. Boone Pickens: “Supply is 85 Million bbl/Day; Demand is 86.4 Million bbl/day......Price goes up.”
Case closed
ie, Congress bloviated for 2 days and didn’t come up with an answer due to the confrontational method of venom v. capitalism! Blame America, Blame capitalism, Blame Oil.......Glenn Beck 3 seconds to get answer from someone who knows! (not to detract from the emminence of the Oil CEO team sitting across from congress!)
Congress: Busted
America: screwed ‘til we get rid of Congress, and start drilling again!
and the previous post’s Schummer Math is priceless!
Since when does a liberal have any logic?
My outrage over the hypocrisy by the investigating Senators is beyond the pale. Like they all haven’t been contributing to this for the past few decades. Throw these bums out!! NOW!
I think they actually are happy about it but they have to keep up the pretense of moral indignation to fools the sheeple. Intellectual dishonesty is fundamental to their core beliefs.
Exactly. So how much longer is it going to be before patriotic, God-fearing Americans stand up and do something about it??? When it’s too late and our country is in the toilet??? But if you talk about such things you are considered to be advocating the overthrow of the government - not considered a patriot who loves his country!
You forgot to mention no coal either. That’s a nasty global warmer, don’t you know?
I found this about the 1 penny quote: "Drilling in the Arctic Wildlife Refuge would result, when it's fully implemented 10 or 20 years from now, in one penny per gallon savings," said Sen. Maria Cantwell, D-Washington.
Had to correct that.
Drill through the heads of polar bears, caribou, and any liberal scumbag that gets in the way!
Merciful Heavens!
You sound.....bitter.
Personally, I always carry a Bible in my bulldozer and have a plastic Jesus on my re-loader.
well, uh...yes, of course!
but how do you convince liberal-socialists?
I think every American ought to march to DC and hold something like a Boston Tea Party, and tell these bums to either let the oil companies drill for oil in ANWR, and every place they don’t want the oil companies to drill, and let them built new refineries, or just get out of Dodge and don’t come back
The US Congress has Nationalized our energy sector via laws ans regulations.
Not on the Communist model of nationalizing but the German model, the smae form of socislism that FDR liked.
What you all are saying is essentially what Senator John Cornyn from Texas said on the senate floor yesterday. He said we have to drill for our own oil and he listed the places where we know huge amounts are. Every time he writes such a bill to do this, it gets shot down. He is pissed about the refusal of government to take the necessary steps.
(I'm shutting up now before I get myself in trouble)
“The German and Russian systems of socialism have in common the fact that the government has full control of the means of production. It decides what shall be produced and how. It allots to each individual a share of consumer’s goods for his consumption.”
The difference between the systems, wrote Mises, is that the German pattern “maintains private ownership of the means of production and keeps the appearance of ordinary prices, wages, and markets.” But in fact the government directs production decisions, curbs entrepreneurship and the labor market, and determines wages and interest rates by central authority. “Market exchange,” says Mises, “is only a sham.”
from a recent post on fr concerning nationalizing our oil industry.
>BLAME CONGRESS NOT THE OIL COMPANIES<
AMEN To THAT! I got sick to my stomach watching Durbin and Schumer sitting on their fat behinds, arrogantly waving their forefingers at the oil execs. Congress had better get with uncapping our ooil reserves soon and bigtime! They are in league with the Devil!
Politicians in general are arrogant and dangerous. My senator, Dick Turban, was in the neihboring town of Urbana last sunday grandstanding about the price of oil and gas. I wish I would have known about this sooner as I would’ve liked to ask him a few questions.
