You DO Have Their Numbers, Right?

Your Elected Heroes. Their phone numbers. Their email submission websites. You have them, don't you?

Why not?

Do you really LIKE paying $4 for a gallon of gas? How about milk? Did you know milk has gone up, as well as other foods, because of oil and gas prices? How about $5? $6? It's high because they want it to be high.

Get this:

In the USA, we know that we have more than all the oil in the middle east. Guess why we are importing 60% of our oil from there, then.

Go on, Guess.

Wrong.

We don't WANT to get our own.

There is a federal BAN on drilling off our coastlines. This does not prevent China from drilling off our coastlines (as they are working on doing right now). This does not prevent Brazil from drilling off their coast, as they are also working on doing right now. The only people prevented from drilling our offshore oil is US. That means that the oil companies that are based in the USA can't get oil for us, and they are forced to go onto the world market to get oil from abroad.

So the ever-so-disappointing president Bush is going to address the Congress today and say we should lift the moratorium on drilling.

He's NOT reversing the executive order that HIS OWN FATHER signed in 1990 to prevent exploration, just saying Congress should reverse what they did. He knows full well the Democrat controlled Congress won't reverse the legislative ban, and the White house has said he will not be taking executive action.

And of course, it's an election year, so the Dems are going to sit on the issue. So nothing gets done. Of course, this is what they like.

Barack Redacted Obama has said his only problem with $4 gas is that it happened so suddenly. He wished it had gone up slower, but not that didn't go up. He wants us to not use so much (because he is an idiot and a bad person).

The environmentalists can go to Russia for all I care. Sign the petition. And then WRITE YOUR REPRESENTATIVES! It takes 5 minutes. Do it now.

The House of Representatives
The Senate
The White House

Done? Good.

Now get this:

The socialists and communists around the world have seen their ideologies go down in flames. Wherever it is tried, a collectivist society FAILS. Oh, plus there are a hundred Million People or so DEAD because of the socialists/communists trying to "do it right." The ideologies lead to death and destruction of individuals and entire nations. So they have given up.

Hold on there.

They changed banners. The current rabid environmentalists are the former rabid socialists and communists. For the greater good of the WORLD now (formerly, just the country) they are trying to save us from ourselves. By destroying the capitalist societies of the world with unsound environmental policies. If the money for oil goes to the State (by the way, the feds got $3 in taxes for every $1 in profit the oil companies got in the first quarter of this year) then it is Good. If it benefits a private company then it is Bad and must be resisted. Consider the news in that light.

Who benefits if we don't drill? The planet? The planet is fine. It is actually (unless you get your news from CNN or MSNBC) cooling a little (see my previous post about the ARGO project). The problem is YOU people out there will have more money to spend however YOU want, and your evil capitolist lifestyle will get even BETTER if we get this oil out of the ground in the US. $4 gas is a good start. Maybe if it goes higher you will have to depend on the State more. Maybe you will not have such a will of your own.

Everybody knows that wind/solar/hydrogen power is coming, but maybe we can get you depending on the State before it happens. Maybe you will think that private industry failed on its own to supply energy to you (because of State action but let's not mention that). Maybe you will want the State to produce the wind/solar/hydrogen power. That would be Good, you see.

Nobody wants to talk about the nuclear energy elephant in the room. I'll talk about that in a future post.

Contact your representatives and tell them to lift the moratorium. Contact the president and tell him to lift the executive order. Do it. Do it now.

I dare you.

I double-dog dare you.

You're a red-bellied communist chicken sh*t if you don't do it. chicken chicken chicken Chicken Chicken CHIIIIKEEEN!!!!!

Okay, tell me I'm wrong. Tell me you did it.

You chicken.

If you don't tell me you did it, I'm going to just keep on thinking you are a communist chicken. Well, at least you'll agree with me, as usual.

No? Prove it.
