Where did you get that? I will venture a guess that Thommas might share my opinion that they are quite welcome to a fair price for their oil - as long as they wet themselves at even the thought of using the profits to support terroism.

We are buying oil from Saudi Arabia. 50,000 ish of them are princes and capitalists and love selling us oil. The other millions are extremists and hate anything that is not Islam. It is all that the princes can do to keep from being overthrown by the Islamopsychos.

I don't think we have a moral right as a country to take the oil and kill anyone in the way. So we buy it and there is no way to control what the psychos do with the money that either trickes down or is secretly funneled.

I hope you don't really think anyone is timid enough to wet their pants because of the Red white and blue.

Actually, anyone who opposes drilling in ANWR supports terrorism much more than any SUV owner.

My SUV (2003 Trailblazer) gets the same gas mileage as my sedan (97 Cutlass). Why don't they find real issues to nag about?

[Nuke'm Glowing]

They can have my SUV when they pry my cold, dead fingers off of it's V8 humming steering wheel. May the green movement get introduced to the heavily armed redneck movement of rural America one day soon. They will find that the ecoterrs who burn SUVs and Pickup trucks will get shot at in that part of the country. And not soon enough.

To a certain extent, yes. But it's not a 1:1 ratio, if our demand were to increase a lot, Canada would increase production more than some of the other countries further away.

"I'm waiting for the time when SUV owners start getting picked off by whacked out enviro spacecadets."

One flaw: when they get to us redneck 2nd Amendment supporting SUV owners they will learn what the term "accurate return fire" means....

Most of our marijuana comes from North America, especially Canada. Weed does not fuel al-Qaida. Heroin used to do so, because Al Qaida had control of Afghanistan. Cocaine users are funding Latin American terrorists.

"I love this commercial, ping."

Always nice to see the resident anti-freedom socialist ping.

Excuse me while I go barf. I hope your bicycle is great transportation to and from the tree you protest on.

[PBRSTREETGANG]

The two 30-second commercials are the brainchild of the author and columnist Arianna Huffington.

Can the braindead have a brainchild?

[Protagoras]

The most effective way to end Islamic terrorism is to take away their funding oxygen.

There i fixed it.

And the way to take away their funding is to reduce our consumption oil.

Childish nonsense.

If we could dramatically cut back on oil consumption, imagine how that would cripple the terrorist orgaizations.

Your opinion is noted,,,and discarded. The right way to cut back on murderers is to cut back on their air supply, to nothing.

Our parents and grandparents made far greater sacrifices during WWII.

They did it so we could be free, to buy trucks if we please.

Or have we as a nation become too selfish?

Some of us have become too moronic.

[Nuke'm Glowing]

You are a freakin DU plant obviously. The solution is to kill our enemies. It's very hard for dead terrorists to engage in acts against us. If we have to kill 2 or 3 million so be it. We didn't have a problem helping kill millions of Nazis and Japs in WWII. I'm not going to oppose the Prez on killing millions of Muslims if that what it takes for my safety, security and freedom. If you don't like that, I'd suggest migrating back to the commie board.

[jsraggmann]

I hope you're leading by example. I'm sure you own no cars, motocycles, boats, snowmobiles, &tc. You walk or ride a bicycle, correct?

[Protagoras]

Cocaine users are funding Latin American terrorists.

Outlaws are defined by those make the laws. If they outlawed the Bible, priests would be outlaws, and we would be supporting outlaws by our tithes.

[Darnright]

Groan. Here we go again. Arianna, you ignorant hussy, many people already buy petroleum products from Citgo and other companies that do not sell Middle East oil.

IF you had used the resources you wasted on this attack on SUV owners to awaken the sheeple to the idea of not supporting sellers of said Middle East petroleum, you might have done at least some good.

Excuse me while I go barf. I hope your bicycle is great transportation to and from the tree you protest on.

I do bike. What freedom are you losing by sticking it to the middle east by using less of their blood oil?

[Protagoras]

I'm sure you own no cars, motocycles, boats,

Boats are unnecessary when walking on water.

[DCPatriot]

You must have an SUV, huh?

Your ad hominem attack on Ms. Huffington diminishes you.

She has been an important voice for us during the Clinton Impeachment...before FOXNEWS was there to counter the media BS.

[dead]

These are the countries where the executives bought the oil

I like the little dig at capitalism as well.

The former fag-hag is way too friggin’ old to start turning into a hippie.

[Protagoras]

What freedom are you losing by sticking it to the middle east by using less of their blood oil?

I guess your problem is with our government for not using our own oil.

Regardless of what you think about the idiocy of the ads, I don’t think that TV stations should have the right to refuse to run them. I think that for all cases except clearly slanderous ads, anyone willing to fork over the dough should have access to the public airwaves. To do otherwise is clearly a severe restriction on free speech, much more so than McCain-Feingold.
