Their Dirty Little Secret

The official call from President Bush for the Democrat-controlled Congress to release their big government embargo against being energy self-sufficient was made today. The mindset of Democrats is simple and took place in two steps. The first was to block oil harvesting because of environmental concerns. The second - and current mindset - is to force American to be reliant on other countries.

The concept of self-reliance and responsible for one's self is contrary to Liberals (there are many conservative Democrats that don't follow the Liberal Democrat's philosophy). What better way to force Americans to be part of the "global community" that to force us to depend on other nations - primarily the biggest enemy of the USA - Saudi Arabia. If America was self-reliant then the (forced) need for America's dependency would be diminished.

So here are various scenarios of how this will play out:

1. Congress lifts their big government blockade - oil futures drop - OPEC reduces prices - Congress says "prices are now lower so we'll put back the blockade".
   
   
2. Congress says they will work on possibly lifting the blockade but will stall in hopes of Senator Obama election to the Presidency, thus forcing Americans to be even more dependent on the Saudis and globalism.
   
   
3. Congress forced by the American people to remove their blockade. Congress forced by the American people to NOT add fees to the gas prices, American's can be assured of future oil independence along with future alternative energy research and development in parallel.

There Is Good In $1000/Barrel Crude

The art of invention has died and extreme oil prices could be the spark that brings needed change.

When you think about it society has stagnated into a global blob of socialism - and as I have preached on my site - socialism quenches innovation.

Take computers for example - they still compute the same old fashion binary way. Sure, the electronics have become more efficient and smaller with the side-effect of speed increases, but the technology is the same.

Or even how we travel using machines - the archaic concept of movement by ignition propels everything from airplanes and passenger vehicles to those god-awful lazy person's yard blowers. Even the way we launch rockets or shoot a missile still relies on ancient discoveries. Add into those archaic concept bio-fuels - still the same burn-and-roll Flintstone combustion machines.

I've posted before about JFK's challenge to do the impossible - go to the moon within a given timeframe. A world leader - seeing beyond the routine and mundane - setting high goals never achieved before, and American's accomplishing and meeting that goal.

The technology advancements and discoveries were huge - orders of magnitudes about the initial costs involved with achieving that goal.

I believe it's time for America to set some impossible goals - to create propulsion beyond the archaic. Let other countries drink their gas and oil and let's move to once again drink the champagne of achievement.

If you believe such a goal to be impossible then you are certainly not qualified to be part of the team of discovery. America thrives (use to) on invention, of doing the impossible, and of advancing the human race.

Pissed At Pump Prices?

The AP article of 1 hour ago reads Pump prices rise to new high as oil stalls:

Americans are now paying an average of $3.79 for a gallon of regular gas, according to a survey by AAA and the Oil Price Information Service. Diesel, used to transport a wide range of goods, now costs $4.52 a gallon.

With oil (short) futures over $126 / barrel I find out about one of many huge oil deposits on American turf located in Colorado's Denver-Julesburg basin. A small private oil company recently drilled here, found good supply of medium-grade crude, but was forced to shut down their well because of a lack of a pipeline to get the crude to the market. "We can sell for $30/barrel". The local Democrat-controlled government has no interest in helping to supply a pipeline.

Then there are the huge oil shale deposits in Colorado - on the order of 1.5 TRILLION BARRELS! Shell oil wants to extract this source but it also lays in federal lands, and in December of 2007 the Democrat-controlled Congress took steps to make sure Americans would pay high prices forever. Yep - the Democrat-controlled Congress passed a measure that prohibits spending to establish any program to lease oil shale deposits on federal land. In other words, the Democrats kept money from leases flowing into the general fund and they made sure oil imports continue.

Then there's the well-known offshore oilfields - also huge - but 85% of the U.S. coastline is off limits to drilling by Democrat congressional decree.

If you believe in an oil crisis then get the facts and realize any crisis is the result of BIG GOVERNMENT manipulation and regulations - and it is from (mostly) the Democrats.

Think BIG GOVERNMENT is bad? You ain't seen noth'n yet!

The past few days I had to attend to some private business - 6 flight segments, 2 coach and 4 first class (the longer segments of 2 - 4+ hours). One takes me through LAX (Los Angeles International) and it was as if I landed in some sleazy city in Mexico. Spanish signs all around, announcements in English and Spanish, the floors splattered with trash, people throwing their cups and papers and used food items under chairs, the restroom gross, fat-thigh pregnant Hispanic girls shoving hamburgers into an already filled fat mouth with 6+ of their bambinos rolling around on the trashy floor - obviously all signs of HI (Hispanic Infestation) and the failure of America to retain control.

What's sort of ironic is all of this crap was in the American Airlines terminal!!!

I was glad my next segment was less than an hour away from boarding. All other airports were clean, English only, sanitized bathrooms, etc.

Are You Better Off Now Than 1.5 Years Ago?

So how about it - are you better off since Democrats took control of Congress? It was a Democrat Congress that extended America's debt ceiling to well over a TRILLION DOLLARS! On top of that a bill (S.2433) sponsored by Democrat Barack Obama - wanna-be president - will force American taxpayers into deeper debt - on the order of $845 BILLION - his Global Poverty Act will help push America into poverty!

Are you better off now than you were before the Democrats took control of Congress?

Ask yourself that question especially when you get gas - now over $1.15 higher - almost $4 / gallon - since Democrats took control - and it will get worse as long as they remain in control, and Democrats like John Dingell (MI) wants to add 50 cents more PER GALLON as an incentive to fill up less and reduce pollution.

Ask yourself that question if you're unemployed - since Democrats took control the ranks of the unemployed are growing - up over 10% since Democrats took control. Democrats are increasingly making the USA a bad place for a company to do business with increasing interference into the business policies, forced mandates, forcing pro-union laws, forcing wage increases, and basically forcing American business out of the country, forcing them to lay off workers to remain profitable, or into bankruptcy. The latest? Four airlines bankrupt and GM to lay off 3,550.

Ask yourself that question if you've seen your home equity decline - before the Democrats took control Americans enjoyed historic highs in their home equity, now at the lowest point in over 60 years.

Ask yourself that question if you are one of the growing home owners facing foreclosure - now more than doubled from the beginning of the Democrat take over of Congress.

Ask yourself that question if you live in a Democrat controlled city / state and they tell you they have to cut jobs in law enforcement, release prisoners, cut vital services - yet they don't cut their handout programs to the illegal aliens. Want to blame the billions going to the Iraq war? Across the country:

• $11-$22 BILLION spent on welfare to illegal aliens
• $2.2 BILLION spent on programs like food stamps, WIC, and free school lunches for illegal aliens
• $2.5 BILLION spent each year on Medicaid for illegal aliens
• $12 BILLION spent on English programs for illegal alien students
• $900+ MILLION to incarcerate illegal alien criminals (30% of all Fed. inmates are illegals)
• $200+ BILLION each year in suppressed American wages caused by illegals
• and so much more waste that can be avoided - check the link!
  

Are you better off now than you were before the Democrats took control of Congress?
