Hold the environuts accountable

They have made a mockery of our judicial system; they have created much of our current energy mess so why not turn their tactics back on them? They have done nothing positive for this country in 35 years. The trial lawyers have made billions from suing tobacco producers because their product “kills”. I say it’s high time they start filing lawsuits against “big environmental”. These groups have made it their mission to create the circumstances we have today, where we can’t drill for oil, we can’t build new refineries, and we can’t build new pipelines.

Make no mistake these groups are killing people. They are forcing people to choose between gas and medicine, between gas and food. It is their mission to weaken our economy, they should be imprisoned, and these groups are the biggest threat to free people everywhere. It is time for people to rise up and deal with this threat to our democracy. These people need to be held accountable for the damage they have caused to this country and the world.

The “Voice of Change” Chokes America

Obama:  ”…they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren’t like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations.”

So! Barack Hussein Obama, the “voice of change” declares, among many things, there must be something wrong with us if we won’t give up our firearms. Yet, this statement exposes so much more than that but, it sure is the promise of change….isn’t it.

Obama was clearly attempting to use reverse psychology in ‘excusing’ the small town folk in Pennsylvania ( and the rest of America ) for not voting for him in his listed reasons but, he’s spending time today trying to control the serious fall-out but, not even he is slick enough to escape from it by anyone who doesn’t applaud and cheer when he blows his nose.

In trying to diffuse what he believes are the reasons Americans refuse to vote for him, he has in fact inadvertently revealed exactly what he thinks about us. ( The valid reasons not to elect Obama Jr. are merely that he is woefully unqualified, pitifully inexperienced and therefore categorically incapable of the daily demands of the highest office of the land. )

“they cling to guns” = Obama Jr. clearly doesn’t trust loyal, law-abiding Americans to be armed and/or thinks there’s not enough violent crime and danger of same to warrant the ownership of guns for our own defense?…are we not worthy enough for an inalienable right? Are we nothing more than potential criminals who are merely waiting for a chance to shoot someone…someone “unlike us”?? ( inwhich he’s likely suggesting by default might be someone like him. )

“or religion” = Here he probably suggests his own religion of the last 20 years will be held in disdain, or his mothers atheism, or his biological father’s ( and stepfather’s ) muslim religion, by others simply because it may not be the same religion as our own…he must be confusing us with radical islamic terrorists or perhaps, someone he has announced as his own father figure, Jeremiah Wright.

“or antipathy to people who aren’t like them” = Here he is likely offering Americans are bigoted against inter-racial offspring such as himself…or perhaps he’s referring to people who show blatant disloyalty to America who we would rightly shun.

 “or anti-immigrant sentiment” = I would bet this refers to our holding his biological father’s nationality ( Kenya ) or his stepfather’s ( Indonesia ) against him. Since we’re a nation of immigrants the only other subject he could be talking about is illegal aliens and amnesty. Forget it Junior, we crashed the senate phone system to stop our own president from forcing legislation through and no one is going to do that to us or our sovereignty again. 

“or anti-trade sentiment” = Here in his final listing he suggests that people in areas which have experienced job-loss blindly blame any offshore trading or products for their own unemployment but, he’s not talking about a few uninformed citizens, he’s talking about entire communities and state populations who are completely ignorant of the several issues involved with international trade, business and our economy.

This whole thing is not about what we’re thinking of him, it’s who he thinks we are and the untrusting, hateful view he clearly has of us.

Well, if I was asked to point to someone who most closely matched the definitions of bigot and racist it wouldn’t be the folks from small town Pennsylvania…it’ld be Barack Obama Jr. 

It’s time to send OPEC a message

Now for a while I have railed against the loony left in this country because they have made us more dependent on foreign oil and more dependent on foreign refined gasoline.  We don’t have the refining capacity in this country to meet the demand we have and our economy is paying for it.

I think that it is time to send a message to OPEC; it is time that we start telling OPEC countries to either increase their output to help us meet our demand and lower the price or we’ll stop importing.  I know it sounds like a hollow threat but if we actually followed through with it the move would insure adequate supply for many years to come and here’s how.

We import roughly 5.5 million barrels of oil per day from OPEC countries, 1.4 million barrels from Venezuela.  First we stop importing anything from Venezuela, and we tell the remaining OPEC countries that they will be increasing production to make up the difference of what we don’t import from Venezuela.  If they refuse then we will cease all oil imports from Algeria, Angola, Kuwait, Libya, Nigeria, and Qatar.  They will view this as a move to break up OPEC, which it is, and refuse.  This leaves us importing oil from Iraq and Saudi Arabia, Iraq needs to finance their country’s future so they will not be able to do much except increase their production to as high a level as they can.  Saudi Arabia is in the difficult position.  They are the largest OPEC exporter to the US, but they will be fighting the remaining OPEC countries who want to make the deal so they can get back into the good graces of the world’s largest oil customer.  These are smaller countries and they can’t afford a standoff like this.

The Real Examples of Torture

There has been much discussion about interrogation techniques, water boarding, etc.  These are mild compared to what is in store for the American people between January 2009 and January 2013.  We are down to three presidential candidates and one of them will be in the White House for the next four years and this boils down to trying to decide between one of the three stooges to run the country for four years.

We have Hillary, everyone knows she is a socialist.  Most on the right know her to be nearly as dangerous as Stalin.  Yet she runs around trying to make the left think she is kook enough to get their support, many feminazis go along just because they’re obligated to, I think its part of bylaws of N.O.W. or something.

Next we have Obama, can you believe this guy?  And they accused Reagan of acting?  This guy has done nothing, managed nothing, governed nothing, and he runs around talking in circles making people faint and he says absolutely nothing.  I have started watching Obama recently, debates, speeches, etc, and this guy says nothing in a way that makes the left drool all over themselves.  My what a gullible breed…

Last we have McCain.  This has the makings of 1996 only some actually think McCain could win because democrats will field either a candidate who is hated by the majority of Americans or a weak candidate who won’t tell anyone where he stands on any given issue.  This is dangerous because McCain doesn’t have any core principles at all.  He bends over for any liberal that tells him to.

So we can look forward to a weaker economy, tax increases, weaker defense, etc.  It will probably give our enemies an opportunity to rebuild and rearm.  This will probably result in more terrorist attacks, and more American lives lost unfortunately.

My how I wish we could just fast forward to the end of this chapter to see how it ends and look forward to the next.

Politics and Defense Contracts

First off you will find few people that support our nations defense industry more than I, but when I start seeing weak moderates blasting the Department of Defense because a US contractor didn’t win a bid my antennae go up.  The DOD was blasted over the weekend because Boeing didn’t win the contract for 180 aircraft that are to be the next generation of aircraft designed for mid-air refueling.

Now I think the folks over at Boeing do a fantastic job, they are great at what they do and they build some of the finest machines in the world.  If all things are equal in a bid and it comes down to US based contractor and one from another country then we should always keep the dollars here at home first.  That is not the case here.  The aircraft being supplied by the French firm are larger aircraft that are able to carry more fuel which means it can refuel more planes and carry more people than the design from the folks at Boeing.

The folks at Boeing are understandably disappointed but the bottom line is that their bid was an aircraft that is not of the same standard as the one being supplied by the winning firm.  The DOD should always select the best product regardless of who the supplier is, this should drive Boeing and other suppliers from the US to do better, design better products, etc.  This is not to be a welfare system for defense contractors, our military needs the absolute best products possible, even if it is from outside the US.

The dirty little secret about oil

It has taken $100 per barrel oil but now the government can no longer hold back the new technologies that will someday replace oil.  Yes for at least 50 years the government has had a vested interest in keeping oil prices low.  It all comes down to the almighty buck, but not the bucks that Exxon or Shell are raking in, no it comes down to taxes.

So long as oil was priced low there is no interest in trying to figure out a less expensive, or cleaner, way to power our nation and the world for that matter.  Why would car companies work on developing vehicles that operate on different sources of power when a gallon of gas was $1.00?  That development costs money and consumers in the early nineties wouldn’t have paid for it.  So in the nineties liberals, mostly democrats but a few republicans along the way, began to monkey around with air quality standards.  The thinking was to make it so expensive for car makers to meet these standards that they would begin pouring money into cleaner technologies.  This didn’t happen on the scale that environmental movement wanted.  The standards did have an impact, we got vehicles that got fewer miles per gallon with less power, but less polluting.  The benefit of that was that people unwittingly fell for this hook line and sinker.  Gas was still relatively cheap so it wasn’t as big a deal to consumers that they were buying more gas.

Big deal right, well I believe it is.  You now have cleaner cars and that’s makes people feel better.  Great, but if we have to look at the fact that those cars get less mileage than their counterparts from a decade prior.  This results in the need to pump more oil, so our vehicles actually use more fuel but they burn it cleaner however we have to buy more gas.  Now at the same time liberals make it impossible to drill for oil in many regions of our country that have oil thus forcing us to continue to deal with third world thugs like Hugo Chavez, and that Nazi loving pinhead in Iran.

Now on to the almighty buck.  The liberals in this country love to rail against “Big Oil” and how mean they are for gouging us for fuel.  What you may not know is that oil profits are less than $0.10 per gallon.  Yet these oil companies invest all the money to find oil, extract it from the ground, refine it, formulate it with other things that the liberals tell them they have use to make it burn cleaner, ship it to gas stations where you get to go and pump it into your cars.  They do all that to make a lousy $0.10 per gallon and still have to listen to uneducated idiots complain about the price of gas and how they are to blame for it.  Yet between $0.45 and $0.70 per gallon, depending on where you live, is federal and state gas taxes.  Government does nothing to find sources of oil, does nothing to get it out of the ground, does nothing to get it to market.  They assume no risk in the venture but there they are with their hand out for their cut.  So yes with demand for oil up due to government regulation government also gets to profit on the back end as well.  When the price of gas goes out of sight then who’s there bad mouthing the profits of oil companies and complaining about how much money they’re making?  Those same liberals and they tell us they want to take more oil profits but do they ever tell us how much the government profits from the oil business, no.

So with the price of oil up a lot of investment has gone into clean technologies, electric vehicles, bio-diesel, hydrogen fuel cells, etc.  This is fine, I have no problem with these technologies in fact the biggest impediment now to getting these technologies to market is that government hasn’t yet figured out how to tax these things.  But never fear, they will, and whatever source of fuel we use in the future doesn’t matter.  Liberals will create the same circumstances with the next fuel, be it hydrogen or ethanol, makes no difference because to liberals it is all about raising taxes and gaining power.
