This closing of the Alaska pipeline is, I strongly suspect, all part of the Liberal, Globalist, Environmentalist (add other scoundrels here at your leisure) plot to destroy the superpower status of America and relegate us to a serf status - or at least one which can conveniently controlled.
How can America remain a superpower when we produce less than 30% of our own absolutely crucial oil which this country must have to run? America could supply all of it - all of it - if we chose! But we don't. Instead, we purposefully rely on others - including sworn enemies - to both supply it and bankroll our foolishness?
Is this crazy, or what!!??
Our annual trade deficit of over $700 billion dollars is "coincidentally" about what we pour out for our foreign oil. Our enemies today essentially own the energy pricing mechanism and product and we must go hat in hand to cartels like OPEC for more supply and relief.
Meanwhile, pocketbooks of individual Americans are being destroyed daily in the crush of high energy prices and this reverberates in all sorts of terrible and personal ways throughout our economy. Your impending loss of livelihood is one example - and there are many millions of other Americans (most of us, actually) in the same rapidly sinking national boat. Our currency is being destroyed right along with our livelihoods and standard of living.
And in the midst of this genuine national security crisis which portends impending economic doom and long-lasting servitude for America,... Pelosi sends Congress home on vacation refusing to even discuss the problem on nearly every American's mind - probably in the hope of continuing the downward spiral for the agenda of those who have set in in motion and maintained it for so many years...
An entire major American political party is complicit in the willful destruction of this country. Read that again: An entire major American political party is complicit in the willful destruction of this country. - - -
How have we come to this? If this isn't calumny and treason of the worst sort, then I don't know what qualifies for those definitions anymore...
...All the armies of Europe, Asia and Africa combined, with all the treasure of the earth (our own excepted) in their military chest; with a Buonaparte for a commander, could not by force, take a drink from the Ohio, or make a track on the Blue Ridge, in a trial of a thousand years.At what point then is the approach of danger to be expected? I answer, if it ever reach us, it must spring up amongst us. It cannot come from abroad. If destruction be our lot, we must ourselves be its author and finisher. As a nation of freemen, we must live through all time, or die by suicide. - Abraham Lincoln, Lyceum Address (January 27, 1838)
GREAT POST!!
Yep. We can vote ourselves into slavery, but slaves cannot vote to free themselves.
Good post.
