Democrats against America

Have you been watching the debate over oil and drilling? It sure is apparent who is for America and who is trying to send us back to the 8th century with our Islamic neighbors. The Democrats are demanding that the oil companies use the leases they already own before they consider the leasing of additional land. If you listen to the oil companies, many of these so called leases have been receded by the federal government. Another report suggests that the sites they hold for exploration, are not guaranteed to hold much oil. Considering the cost of drilling, it is important for any company to explore the most productive and assured locations rather than gamble on hypothetical.

America has enough oil to run this country for 60 - 100 years, with no outside purchases. I am quite sure that within the sixty year mark we can have enough alternative energy to sustain our country forever. Yet Senator Obama and the Democratic front, expect us to switch to alternative energy right now. Pelosi wants the emergency reserves released, which will tide us over for two weeks and nothing more. Yet Obama and Pelosi refuse to consider any form of energy other than solar, wind or bio-fuel. How preposterous and moronic can this course of action be?

If I get my history right, and I probably will not be exact but pretty close, the enviormental movement has been fighting against oil and industry for over forty years. They started a campaign against SUV's in the 1990's, complaining about the gas they used and the size of the vehicle. In the seventies they were shouting about the earths demise through a new ice age that would hit by the 1990's. They have fought against any progression or protection of this country for the benefit of some wildlife that no one has ever seen. But they have finally overcome their bonds of silliness and have gotten the entire Democratic party on their side. Al Gore has stated the the government should increase gas to five dollars a gallon to reduce our dependency on the substance, we are almost there.

It is funny, because when House Speaker Pelosi took the gavel she proclaimed that now that the Democrats were in charge she was going to fix the oil problem. At the time we were paying $2.25 a gallon. Well, as you can see, she has fixed the problem and followed Al Gores lead. Ever time the Republicans submit a proposal for our energy problems they are shouted down or rejected. Nancy Pelosi has recently said that she will NOT allow an energy vote to occur before their summer break. Here we are with gas at $4.11 a gallon and the Democrats refuse to even consider a cure.

What's worse, is the hypocrisy of the politicians, while they moan that we, the little people, are having major problems with fuel, they suggest that we stop driving. They expect us to bicycle to work and buy hybrid cars. Congress wants us to use poisonous light bulbs and turn down your air conditioner in the summer and turn down you heater in the winter. As Ms. Obama suggest, we will have to learn to live with less. The funny thing is, all of these people use limousines or large cars, driven by chauffeurs, they fly private jets or leased jets. When is the last time you say a congressman flying coach with you? Even today, Al Gore was seen idling his limo for over twenty minutes waiting for someone, and not wanting to get hot in the car, he mad ensure the engine was running and the AC was on. These elite snobs are destroying your world, but refuse to relinquish any part of their domain. This is what socialism is all about, only the elite will have and all the other people will be subjects, insuring the elites continued wealth and privilege.

So America, we have two choices, either we vote out every person who has voted against our energy independence without sending us into the eighth century or we can accept the socialist lifestyle. Retain our freedom or relinquish it to the fascist who want to subjugate you. "Vote for Change" but be aware that the change you vote for may not be what you think your getting. You can learn to do with less and hand your children a country destroyed by socialism/fascism or you can give them a better start. If our president and congress does not understand our need for energy independence from every country and that we should drill, use nuclear, clean coal, solar and wind, then we need to change all of them to true representatives of the people.
