Hey Democrats, Wake Up and Smell the Kool Aid, your voters do not buy this global warming hoax. According to Rasmussen, public skepticism regarding mankind being the cause of global warming is at an all time high. 50% of adults now believe that global warming is caused by the Earth's natural cycle, only 34% believe it is a man made phenomenon. Six percent say there is some other reason for global warming (Maybe Al Gore's Man Bear Pig?) Over the last year and a half, belief in the Church of Global Warming's Hoax has fell from 47-34% and belief that...

Drill For OIL HERE NOW!This past Independence Day weekend I decided it's time to do something about the idiotic energy policies of our present democrat controlled congress. Instead of going out to see the fireworks and grill some hot dogs I stayed home and created a website based petition. I’m just a regular nobody who is trying to get a real grassroots movement going. I thought that besides just taking down folks name and email like other petitions, I would setup a nice comments feature so people can vent! Comments are very important and allow us a way to get...

YOU CAN'T FUEL ALL OF THE PEOPLE ALL OF THE TIMEJune 25, 2008 Liberals dismiss studies that show a link between abortion and breast cancer, claiming they are biased because the people promoting the studies are "anti-choice." For the same reason, no one should believe the Democrats' "energy" policies. Democrats couldn't care less about high gas prices. The consistent policy of the Democratic Party, going back at least to Jimmy Carter, has been to jack up gas prices so we can all start pedaling around on tricycles. Environmentalists are constantly clamoring for higher gas taxes as the cure-all to their...

56 minutes ago WASHINGTON (AFP) — President George W. Bush will call on US lawmakers Wednesday to pass legislation lifting the ban on offshore oil drilling, the White House said. "With gasoline now over four dollars a gallon, tomorrow he will explicitly call on Congress to also pass legislation lifting the congressional ban on safe, environmentally-friendly offshore oil drilling," White House spokeswoman Dana Perino said in a statement late Tuesday. The announcement came just hours after Republican presidential candidate John McCain called for the federal government to scrap its 27-year-old moratorium on offshore oil drilling. His demand tapped into voters'...

... 97 senators recently voted to increase the supply of oil on the market by stopping the flow of oil into the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, which protects against major physical interruptions. Seventy-one of the 97 senators who voted to stop filling the reserve also oppose drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. One million barrels is what might today be flowing from ANWR if in 1995 President Bill Clinton had not vetoed legislation to permit drilling there. One million barrels produce 27 million gallons of gasoline and diesel fuel. Seventy-two of today's senators -- including Schumer, of course, and 38...

I don't think any reasonable person would dispute that we are in an energy crisis. We are, in fact, being held political hostage by those that control the world's oil supply. Add to that my belief that the market has been manipulated by those that wish us harm. (think Russia, Venezuela, Iran, and certain camel riding folks with big bank accounts, a laptop and a satellite connection, here) The market has responded to the political machinations of the suppliers of oil and the manipulators in a very expected way, IMO. We are constantly being bombarded with so called "solutions" by...

The president selected Deputy Defense Secretary Paul Wolfowitz as his choice for World Bank* president; held a news conference; named Kevin Martin to be the new FCC Chairman; and met with Lebanese Patriarch Cardinal Pierre Nasrallah Sfeir in the Oval Office. As oil prices continue to rise, the president's push for oil drilling in Alaska met with a yes vote in the Senate today. Secretary of State Rice is in Asia. Enjoy your visit to Sanity Island! *I know nothing about the World Bank but found this on the 'net: "a United Nations agency created to assist developing nations by...
