But, it is those same enviro nuts who also want to reduce consumption! This story doesn't quite ring believable. How is it that we neither get ANRW nor efficient cars? It is not democrats blocking efficient cars.

The Saudis know the environuts will spend these contributions on the anti-ANWR front. Everyone realizes that's the current battle. They also know any successful effort to reduce consumption will come from the consumer, not the environuts.

... are going to be called on that by their opponent.

We'll see what we shall see.

Good spin. Hope it's true. Get the word out - either way.

How come these Enviro-Nazis never noticed that illegal immigration is destroying the environment of the Southwest?

They understand it perfectly well. But they also know the illegals, once naturalized, vote heavily Democrat. That is a higher priority than the environment for the enviros, for whom socialism is the goal and the environment merely a means.

You are speculating, as am I.

Olympia! would be amusing if the stakes were'nt so high.

You're absolutely correct about Maine being on the way to third world status. If a state exists anywhere with a more ani-business bias I haven't heard of it.

These people up here (Bangor) mutter about money "from away" as if Exxon, Walmart and other great American corporations are involved in some scheme to drive them to the poor house.

Hey, Mainiacs! You're already in the poor house, thanks to the anti-business, know-nothing gooberments you keep electing.

Take a look at Stavros Mendros as Baldacci's replacement. Met him at a 2nd Amendment ralley in Augusta last year. Seems to have the right take on things.

Oil companies have been subsidizing the enviro-wackos for a couple of decades. Why? Two reasons, first, the more regulations their are on petroleum, the harder it is for smaller oil companies to surviver, chango presto, a reduction in competition for the big boys. Second, the problem as seen by oil companies is that there is a surplus of oil and has been for decades. The enviro-wackos stop drilling and prevent oil from coming onto the market. This reduces supply and drives up the price. The Saudis have probably been in this game for a while too.

It is a puzzle why Lieberman and Schumer want to kill American jobs and send American money to people who want to kill us.

Title of the Thread I found this on, Why the Jews are Always to Blame...Link below quote...Sorry this is the only way I know to get just an individual post into the fray, Thucydides...Freepmail me with any suggestions or daggers up the jackstrap;-)

Yours is an excellent statement on the psychology that drives Arab and European attitudes towards Israel. To round it out, we need to consider the psychology of the liberals who place such faith in negotiations. They have an extremely unrealistic view of human nature, and think human beings are simply blank slates to be written on by cultural interventions (ideally, managed by themselves). In their view, hatred is simply ignorance, easily cured by some sort of educational process, or through imposition of a solution devised by intelligent people of good will (this is their self-assessment), that will lead to "confidence - building." In reality, Arab hatred comes from a deep sense of inferiority. Envy coupled with helpless inadequacy is its source. This obviously is not amenable to benign interventions of diplomats, concessions of this or that item. Just as the Arabs cling to their crazed fantasy of a new "final solution," so do the liberals cling to their deeply erroneous view of man and of human relations, and in a way it is and has been just as big an impediment toward moving to some solution as Arab intransigence and paranoid fantasy. Any realistic solution would have to involve moral clarity about what is going on, coupled with the use of force to defeat and remove terrorists.

The Opecker Princes could not have any better buddies than the enviral nazis and their hand puppet senators like Da$$hole, Kerry, Boxer, Chifi, the Rino Twin Sisters from Maine, Rockefeller and others.

There is a film clip out showing the great enviral Kerry riding to and from in big limos and SUV's! Remember the pictures earlier this year showing the SUV's that Da$$hole and Gepheartless drove around DC. Chifi last year owned 3 SUV's!

Thanks for the flag- if the Saudis are trying to pay people to oppose ANWR it's no surprise to me.
