Perspective

@ 07:39 AM (17 months, 6 days ago)

Don't buy into the media's hype about how everything is going to hell in a handbasket. Yes gas prices are high etc. It's also part of they hype to get Obama elected. The worse it appears the more we'll need 'change'. I'm not suggesting we bury our collective heads in the sand (unless there's oil there) but I'm just suggesting a little perspective. Buck up...it's what we do.

Why do you think the democratically controlled Congress won't lift the ban on oil drilling in places like ANWR?

You can bet if Obamanation is elected the obstructionism will stop and everything including gas prices will find a way to come down.

h/t Joe Gringo

Wasn't so big at $2 a gallon now, ya think? Another reason why Liberalism Is Bad For The U.S.A.......and the world for that matter. How's that $4+ gallon of gas tasting about now? Keep this in mind......China is setting up shop and is set to build 36 oil wells.......50 miles off of the Florida coast. Powerline provides this:

ANWR Exploration
House Republicans: 91% Supported
House Democrats: 86% Opposed

Coal-to-Liquid
House Republicans: 97% Supported
House Democrats: 78% Opposed

Oil Shale Exploration
House Republicans: 90% Supported
House Democrats: 86% Opposed

Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) Exploration
House Republicans: 81% Supported
House Democrats: 83% Opposed

Refinery Increased Capacity
House Republicans: 97% Supported
House Democrats: 96% Opposed

SUMMARY

91% of House Republicans have historically voted to increase the production of American-made oil and gas.

86% of House Democrats have historically voted against increasing the production of American-made oil and gas.

  1. You most certainly are correct. I just heard on Fox News yesterday that via an investigative report they did that it would take the U.S. less that a year to begin getting barrels of oil if we drilled off shore.

    You sure are right that we should not believe everything we hear and I will add only believe half of what you read.

  2. Americans especially conservatives need to remember what makes us great. We adapt to the enemy's strategy and overcome....just look at those flood victims in Iowa. The epitome of the American Spirit.

  3. Remember how obsessed the MSM was with homelessness during the Reagan years? Conversely, that same media ignored such negativity during Clinton.

  4. People on the Mississippi already know even before they come there to live that the river will jump its banks and "FLOOD" EVERYWHERE WHEN IT READY !!!!!!! Remember that it happens when "RECORD" snow fall and prolonged winter conditions exsist which by the way is "EXACTLY" what happened just this last winter !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THE PEOPLE UP THERE IN THE DAKOTAS WERE MORE CONCERNED ABOUT THE COMING ICE AGE ! and were already concerned about those who live "DOWN STREAM" !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  5. From the New York Times:

    Senator Barack Obama took a poke at his Republican opponent on Tuesday, saying that for Senator John McCain to talk of a "psychological benefit" from expanded offshore drilling is to define that policy as a gimmick.
    Mr. Obama was responding to remarks that Mr. McCain made on Monday in Fresno, Calif., when he observed that even though the nation might take years to benefit from offshore drilling, "exploiting those reserves would have psychological impact that I think is beneficial."
    Mr. Obama seized on those comments while speaking at a town hall-style meeting here.
    " 'Psychological impact'?" Mr. Obama said. "In case you're wondering, that's Washington-speak for 'It polls well.' "
    The "psychological impact" to which McCain refers is quite simple: The expectation of greater oil supplies in the future would make it more attractive to sell oil now, when supplies are restricted and prices are high, thereby bringing prices down in the short term. Is Obama really too ignorant to grasp this, or does he just think voters are?

  6. Great post, ElBro. I'll go read at Joe's, as well.
    The dem. Congress is wanting to force big oil to drill where there is no oil, thus wasting money and time...because they care not about regular Americans.

    And yes, Obama thinks the voters are ignorant...and when it comes to his own, he's spot on.

  9. I'm still depressed. I'm living in a country where more than half the people think Obama's their guy. I need to buck up. Thanks, Elbro.

  11. The Dems and some Repubs are stonewalling. They want the energy situation to get so bad that the people will turn to them to 'fix' it out of sheer desperation. Then they can 'nationalize' the entire industry.
