How can we as Americans stand by & let this megalomaniac take over the House of Representatives like she’s “Catherine the Great”? It’s truly scary when ONE government official can stop our entire government from voting in a democracy, on issues that go directly to the bottom line of our nations stability & security. Why should she be able to do that on ANY issue for that matter? In this case the issue is energy independence, & national security, & it’s a huge deal for the American people. THIS IS ONE WOMAN, WITH A PERSONAL AGENDA! It’s time for people to wake up, & demand her removal, if she refuses to do HER JOB.
In the following video ABC’s George Stephanopoulos is clearly & visibly disturbed by Nancy Pelosi’s narcissistic views of her own policies, despite the wishes of the American people, & even members of her own party. This is a must see video for every American citizen. Please send it to everyone you know. It is here also.
“Bills should generally come to the floor under a procedure that allows open, full, and fair debate consisting of a full amendment process that grants the Minority the right to offer its alternatives including a substitute.” -Nancy Pelosi 2006
I guess she meant only HER PARTY’S Bills. Sounds like she’s building an Oligarchy to me.
To my fellow Americans. She is the Queen Pelosi in her own mind, & your are her footstool. Remove her foot from your throat this election year, & please remember to sign the “Energy Freedom” petition. (Thanks to Michelle Malkin for petition reminder.)
Shouldn’t Greenpeace now endorse McCain, & end their vitriolic hatred of Republicans? I’m very confused about the way these people think. Big oil, & oil exploration is evil to democrats, but democrats take their campaign contributions? Seems a wee bit disingenuous to me..
Nancy Pelosi has refused to allow a vote on offshore oil drilling, but has also taken this country one step closer to being a fascist run country with State run media, by literally abusing her position to shut down the voices of her opponents by force.
Nancy Pelosi left the house of representatives on vacation for 5 Weeks, shut off the lights, & made sure Republicans who stayed in protest of not yet having an energy bill to bring relief to America, would not have access to the normal video feed used by CSPAN. For it’s part, CSPAN of course could go mobile on this & cover the Republican revolt, but being a part of the Obamedia themselves, they don’t want Americans to know what’s going on either.
This event will go down in the history of our nation as the moment the Mainstream Media in America officially & completely committed itself to being fascist & communist in nature. It will also represent the point where people like myself turned up our offense against the EXTREME liberal bias in the media, & the point where that bias is truly threatening the sovereignty & security of the whole country.
When a historically significant moment is ignored by the Mainstream Media in America, so that they can pursue frivolous stories about the latest scandalous Miley Cyrus photos, we have a very serious lack of credibility with the media that is supposed to be serving the public.
Michelle Malkin has been one of the most dedicated soldiers to bringing this out into the open, along with Sean Hannity, & I’d like to thank them for their commitment to bring the facts to light.
Let’s hope the Mainstream Obamedia follows suit soon, or they may risk losing what little credibility they have left at this point.
*Update* 08/06/08 from Steve Gill. There’s no Bio Diesel available at the dock where Al Gore docks his boat. If he’s using “Biofuels”, nobody seems to know where he got it, or how he got it too the dock, as it’s against the rules to bring fuel to the Marina.
Steve Gill reports that Mr. Green is once again thumbing his nose at we the lowly ones who he thinks must be energy rationed, with his “Do as I say not as I do” behavior. He has apparently acquired a giant house boat, & has tried to sell this boat as being environmentally responsible. He claims it runs on Biodiesel fuel. Yeah, that’s just great Al.
Al Gore’s boat fuel consumption is helping turn the poor into farm hands & wage slaves while displacing locals and destroying biodiversity all at the same time as seen here in Colombia, Paraguay, and Uganda.
Enjoy your boat Mr. Gore. Yes I know that people have died over the fuel/oil that runs my car, & I don’t like it one bit. But at least some of us will admit the truth, instead of creating some Utopian lie to make us rich at the expense of others. From one American energy hog to another, JUST BE HONEST MR. GORE!
If he thought the planet was on the edge of extinction & “dying from a fever“, wouldn’t he forego owning such a big waste of ANY KIND OF ENERGY?
I think he’s flipped this time, but it’s hard to keep up..
Obama said Friday that he would be willing to compromise on his position against offshore oil drilling if it were part of a more overarching strategy to lower energy costs.
“My interest is in making sure we’ve got the kind of comprehensive energy policy that can bring down gas prices,” Obama told The Palm Beach Post early into a two-day swing through Florida.
Obama said Yesterday:
But on Saturday morning, Obama said this “wasn’t really a new position.”
“What I will not do, and this has always been my position, is to support a plan that suggests this drilling is the answer to our energy problems,” Obama added.
“If we’ve got a plan on the table that I think meets the goals that America has to set and there are some things in there that I don’t like, then obviously that’s something that I would consider because that’s the nature of how we govern in a democracy.”
What Obama Said in June:
“When I’m president, I intend to keep in place the moratorium here in Florida and around the country that prevents oil companies from drilling off Florida’s coasts,” Obama told reporters in Jacksonville in late June. “That’s how we can protect our coastline and still make the investments that will reduce our dependence on foreign oil and bring down gas prices for good.”
Robin: Jumpin’ Catfish Batman! How does the Joker manage to hold virtually every possible position like that!??
Batman: Mix Stolen Sleeping Gas and weaponized Fairy Dust in with the Mainstream Media Robin, & you’re going to need one helluva Dark Knight.. Quick Robin! Hand me that Mega-Phone!
Apparently the pressure to do what even the majority of his own constituency is quietly asking the Senator to do, is beginning to cut through his mountain of an ego. Obama put on his flip flops today, & He supposedly wants to drill for oil now.. (keep in mind he’d flop over as soon as he got elected.)
What Barack Hussein Obama said earlier this year about off shore drilling:
He criticized McCain in the above video for what he says was a change of position by McCain on offshore drilling. Now he has changed his own mind for political expediency. The current “may support” language he’s using is just to ease his constituency into the cold water of his complete hypocrisy. People like the Moveon.borg have not responded well to his past flip-flops on major policies, so he’s just trying to condition them to his new position.
_________________________________________
Barack NOW says the following:
“My interest is in making sure we’ve got the kind of comprehensive energy policy that can bring down gas prices,” Obama said in an interview with The Palm Beach Post.
“If, in order to get that passed, we have to compromise in terms of a careful, well thought-out drilling strategy that was carefully circumscribed to avoid significant environmental damage — I don’t want to be so rigid that we can’t get something done.”
__________________________________________
So the question is, if Obama’s original “Drilling is a Gimmick” position was the correct position, then why is he now changing it? I mean as a commentator, I can change my opinion about a major policy positions in the US, but I’m not trying to be President. If I make a mistake, nobody dies. If the President makes bad judgments, many could, & probably will.
Lets also not forget that Obama told CNBC he didn’t really object to $4 gas, just that it occurred too quickly. Obama said: “I think that I would have preferred a gradual adjustment.”
You have to be patient with the Video Here, because a lot of people are going back to see what he said:
Can anyone tell me why he’s constantly bobbing his head like that in this video? Habit? Just wondering…
I think just about anyone can figure out he’s flip-flopped because he’s inexperienced, & will say anything to get elected. He was wrong, & now he’s flipping his position to survive politically. He clearly doesn’t care which position is right, as much as which position is right to get him into power as President of the United States.
Get out the Golden Presidential Wannabe Spatula! I don’t think he’s done yet!
So today a barge was t-boned on the Mississippi river & spilled most of it’s oil cargo (9,980 barrels) into the river. Any bets that high level Congressional Democrats will in the next few days tout this as a reason why we MUST STOP depending on fossil fuels, & must not continue demanding domestic oil exploration? Of course the truth is that the ocean itself burps out oil spills much bigger than this from tectonic plate movements all the time.
Environmentalist’s time would be better spent bludgeoning automotive manufacturers into making sure their cars have better engine seals, & don’t leak oil onto the streets which eventually goes down the sewers than to worry about this little spill. But you watch, the DemoRats will exploit it.
I guarantee at least one of them will say it. Mark my words..
From Fox News/AP:
NEW ORLEANS — It might be several days before a stretch of the Mississippi River at New Orleans can reopen after a 600-foot tanker and a barge loaded with fuel oil collided Wednesday, breaking the barge in half, officials said.
No one was injured, but heavy, almost tar-like fuel oil spilled from the barge, forming a slick 12 miles long, said Lt. Cdr. Cheri Ben-Iesau, a Coast Guard spokeswoman. About 29 miles of the river was closed.
Not only did the Democrats keep any talk of a summer Gas Tax Holiday coming up for a vote, they are now discussing (behind closed doors of course) a Federal Gas Tax INCREASE..
Under pressure from the powerful construction lobbyists, they are citing their reasoning as being the need for “road improvements”.
That’s just great..
Johnny: “Mommy, what’s that really smooth black strip down the street that leads to a bigger one with white stripes down the middle for?”
Mommy: “Oh that’s called a highway honey.. Our government made sure it was perfectly smooth & well painted, but nobody can afford to drive on it because Gasoline is too expensive. So you can take your bike out there now, & you don’t even have to worry about being hit by cars. Isn’t it great? Speaking of that, I need to get to my doctors appointment Dear. Do you mind taking me the fifteen miles down the highway on the handlebars of your bike for your first time on it? I’d make the ride myself, but Mommy is 6 mos pregnant, & Daddy had to leave at 4 am on his bike to make it to work on time at 9 am..”
I knew it wouldn’t be long before the MSM liars concocted an angle to explain why oil prices took a $15 plummet soon after Bush lifted the drilling ban by executive order. Take this article over at CNN that over-confidently puts the cause squarely on “thawing relations” with Iran in recent weeks. No mention whatsoever of the curiously paralleled timing of the drop (right after Bush lifted the offshore drilling ban.)
ANYTHING, ANYTHING but the idea that the prospect of having our OWN resources available to us could lower the cost of oil, right? The liberal media must have gotten an SOS memo from Nancy Pelosi & Harry Reid to bolster their positions on Oil futures, capitulations to Iran, & help save Obama from his big mouth when he called Oil Drilling/Exploration a “gimmick”.
Well David Harsani over at the Denver post “may” be an ardent liberal, but I give him credit for his intellectual honesty & balanced view of the energy problems we face RIGHT NOW.
Don’t be fooled folks. If we get the barrels of oil to pile up behind fences around the country HERE IN THE US, then you’ll see oil prices come down. Do you know why Overstock.com has made money? Because they take advantage of mistakes that companies make in over purchasing products; by purchasing their overstock at a low price & reselling it for a profit. But not only that, they buy from companies that made too much of a product that didn’t sell fast enough.
Well I’d like to see some discount sweet crude on overstock.com soon, because I’d rather give my money to them than to terrorist-sponsoring nations in the middle east who are holding oil over our oil starved heads like a carrot over an emaciated bunny rabbit. How do we get there? The answer is simple. We drill AND conserve at the same time!
I can’t believe this is not obvious to our Congress. In fact I know it is, they just don’t give two turds about us, because we’re just a cheap piece of rope in a political tug of war to them.
In November, we should vote out any fool who stood in the way of our crucial energy supplies for political gain & over Congressional infighting.
If one man on a ship threatens the safety of 100 others, he walks the plank.. It’s time for these clowns in Congress to choose their political fate. They are either for us or against us. Drilling for our own resources could not possibly go against us.
So a few days ago Bush lifted the 1981 offshore oil drilling ban put into place by his father. It was a smart & sensible move, & it immediately drove oil prices down about $9 a barrel. It’s simple, increasing supply, or even threatening to do it is going to influence the people who selling oil to drop the prices & maintain their precious market share. It’s easy business economics 101 stuff.. Competition controls pricing. But let me explain it for Pelosi & her minions anyway. Ok, ready?
If Johnny has a lemonade stand, the ONLY lemonade stand in the whole neighborhood, & it’s 105 degrees outside, guess how much Johnny can charge his neighborhood friends for a glass of ice cold lemonade? Pretty much whatever he wants if they want to get it without walking all the way three blocks back to home. But if little Jenny & Bobby on the blocks in between erect their own lemonade stands, then everyone will need to keep their prices lower to get a share of the market. Why pay an extra quarter to Johnny if you only need to walk 100 yds more, & can get an extra gumball out of the gumball machine by buying from Jenny or Bobby? Competition controls pricing.
Apparently the only thing more simple than that is the minds of the Democrats in Congress who are walking in lockstep with lead simpleton Nancy Pelosi. You know, the Congressman who thought gas was $2.56 per gallon at a time when it was about a dollar more?
Now months later we’re over $4 a gallon, & she’s still stalling for time. Why? Because if she does what is right for the American people & allows offshore drilling to commence, she will immediately have lost a POLITICAL battle with Republicans. It’s all she really cares about. After all, she doesn’t fill HER gas tank, we do, & with OUR tax payments to this government & her out of control congress.
You see if she can just hold off until AFTER November, she thinks she can make the Democrats look like the heroes by changing her tune in a flip flopping reversal that has become the signature of the Liberal Party, & even some of their rhino Republican kiss ass friends.
Meanwhile as they play their political games, the American people are going broke, & the economy is plummeting dangerously close to a deep recession.
I vote that we make the perpetrators pay dearly on Voting day in November. If you stalled on drilling & bringing relief to the people you were supposed to be serving & representing, you should be voted out of office. Remember, more than %70 (some polls as high as %74) of likely voters now support drilling for our own energy/oil reserves.
Keep standing in the way Pelosi… Go ahead, make our day.. >:)
The pen is mightier than the political horde..
1.2 million Americans have signed a “Drill here, Drill Now” petition that was formed by Newt Gingrich, yet Nancy Pelosi has determined single handedly that we are all idiots, & drilling for oil in American territories as a solution to high oil princes is “a hoax”.
Pelosi was recently quoted as saying: “This call for drilling in areas that are protected is a hoax, it’s an absolute hoax on the part of the Republicans and this administration” Pelosi said at her weekly press conference. “It’s a decoy to punt your attention away from the fact that their policies have produced $4-a-gallon gasoline.”
Meanwhile China laughs hysterically at us, & drills for oil that should be going to us, just off the Florida keys.
Pelosi flailingly admits out of the other side of her mouth that putting more oil into circulation by releasing oil from the National Strategic Preserves would help lower prices, but somehow rationalizes that drilling for more of our own oil would not help. Does anyone else see how evil & crafty this woman is? She doesn’t mind weakening our national security in order to preserve her party’s relationship with environmental extremists, but yet she calls the idea of making our nation self sufficient on energy matters, “a hoax”.
Well Nancy Pelosi, your leadership in Congress is the real sham here, because since you took it over gas princes have doubled for the American people, & all you can do is blame everyone else.
Please be sure to e-mail “Speaker Pelosi” as I have, to let her know what you think of basically being called stupid enough to buy into “a hoax”.
Seriously people. You need to contact your Congressman (or “Congress Creep” in some cases) & let them know this behavior will not be tolerated, & the agenda of the American people WILL be tended to on OUR terms, not theirs.
See for yourself.. He says coal & carbon, are making us all sick. Well something is making him mentally ill, because more people die from Heart disease in this country from eating too much, then from any effects of any pollution that exists. He of course represents the Democrats, who want to bring this country to it’s knees financially, so that they can sell it out to socialism eventually.
Yep, after I listened to this moron & his cohort suggest that we Conservatives & Republicans belittle those who ride bicycles on C-Span tonight (Even though this conservative owns two of them), I decided to read up on this loudmouth Jay Inslee.. He went on for a half an hour about nothing, & a bunch of unproven energy technologies that we “should have” been working on up until now. Well Mr. Inslee, what has your Democratic led congress been doing about that for the last two years? NOTHING!
But anyway, on to his suggesting to the leftist extreme online environmentalist group motherjones.com, that Arnold Schwarzenegger’s death will stop gas powered Humvee’s from being produced.
MJ: When do you think we will see the last gasoline-powered Hummer on the streets?
JI:When Arnold Schwarzenegger goes to his reward—how’s that? That’s a crack, but I treat Governor Schwarzenegger well in my book. He’s done such great work in California; we’ll forgive him one personal habit. Everybody should have one not-totally-CO2-friendly habit they can be forgiven for. So we’ll forgive him that one.
Yep you read it right. Straight from this low class horse’s mouth. Arnold Schwarzenegger being dead is the how we will get rid of Humvees according to Rep. Inslee.
MJ: What do you think is the most promising new energy source?
JI: Not wasting energy. It is the least sexy, but the single most important and always the least expensive. You would be very interested in a report by the McKinsey consulting firm that concluded that 40 percent of everything that we have to do to mitigate our emissions are net economic winners. They are cost effective and the most cost effective is not wasting energy. That’s actually going to be the largest part of this whole journey, I believe—using less energy with the same beneficial results.
Al Gore, do you have Inslee’s number? Maybe if you call him once & a while & tell him how much of a hypocrite you really are, he’ll stop going out & overselling this environmental BS at the expense of your party? I mean I don’t mind because it shows Democrats for the hypocrites they really are, but man do you guys look like asses now!
During this tag team tirade on CSpan, Rep. Earl Blumenauer also suggested that the Government stop buying those damn Humvees! Yes that’s right, I guess he wants to put our troops atop unarmored 50cc Mopeds, balancing a 100 pound machine gun & tripod on the handlebars while they dodge I.E.Ds
I mean these suggestions were only slightly more offensive than Mr. Blumenauers really super gay bowtie, but still, that thing was REALLY OFFENSIVE, & thus so were his moronic statements!
Rep. Blumenauers tirade against most of America also included the suggestion that we generally don’t care enough to ride bikes to work like the gov. capital workers in Washington DC have been doing.. He apparently never noticed that the buildings in DC are like ten feet apart, whereas in rural America, you may have to go 10 miles or more before seeing anything, let alone ride a bike 30 miles to work. Incidentally, neither he or Jay Inslee mentioned riding a bike to work, or how they get around.
Listen my fellow Americans. Here’s the bottom line. These Democrats have had two years of full Congressional control to implement their grandiose solutions for lowering energy costs, & now things are about 300 times worse then when they took over Congress. They are running scared & playing the blame game, & go figure, it just so happens that everyone but the Democrats are to blame in their version of how we got to this place with exorbitant energy costs.
Write/call your Congressman. No more excuses, it’s time to work on drilling for our own oil, & natural resources. We tried it the Democrat way, & environmental groups & vile so called “Representatives” like Democratic Rep. Jay Inslee have led us to this place of despair. People like these two really need put aside their little partisan agendas, and get a clue about what the rest of the country is expecting of them.
*Update* 6/19/08 Michelle Malkin makes a great point with a post today on the Oil Drilling debate. While there’s plenty of legitimate blame to place on Democrats in this energy crisis, why hasn’t Bush revoked the
Offshore drilling bans his father put into place, since he has the power to do that by executive order? Politicians are playing political games as usual, in a “No You Go First” game that is costing US citizens more than they can afford. Lift the bans Mr. Bush, & lead by example!
Today a bill put before the Senate was shelved by Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, in a stalling tactic that’s all too familiar to the American people. This Democratic led Congress who has approval ratings in the teens, is notorious for stalling for time while they try to use their bought & paid for Mainstream Media Cronies to sway public opinion on the issue at hand.
The problem is, while they are doing that, the public is usually starving for actual results & relief. In this case we need immediate relief from the exorbitant Gas Prices we’re being charged, as it continues to erode at the stability of our national economy.
The reason for this is simple from the Liberal/Democrat perspective. They’ve spent years working to build up their global warming scam & systematic fear tactics designed to brainwash the public into believing that they are the saviors of the world, & that all conservatives care about is progress, capitalism & the Oil that made it all possible. Of course we do care about those things, but I also don’t know any Republicans or Conservatives who think it’s ok to dump used motor oil down the drain. Hey here’s something I never hear Democrat owners of quick lube businesses talking about. Buy & promote synthetic oil, instead of pushing the lie that cars need their oil changed every 3,000 miles! That’s a whole other way we can lower dependence on foreign oil, but democrats are also making too much money off that scam to ever talk about it.
Al Gore (who is of course one of those fear mongers in the Democratic party), has lambasted the rest of the US about our energy policies, yet it was revealed today that his mansion in Tennessee is using 10% MORE energy than last year, despite all his pontificating to the rest of us about reducing our energy usage. I ask my fellow citizens how long you will be led by these extreme hypocrites like sheeple to the slaughter?
These people ( like Pelosi,Reid, & all the other democrats opposed to drilling) are driven around in government owned & paid for vehicles, & guess who pays for that AND the gas that runs them.
WE DO!
So since they have an agenda of creating fearful environmentalist sheeple who will always vote for them, & since they don’t pay a dime for gasoline to get around, what incentive do they have to give a rats ass about the rest of us who are getting PUMPED AT THE PUMP?
Who else has has enough? Here’s what you need to do. Call the capital switchboard, or find the e-mail of your local Democrat & BLAST them for stalling on the obvious solutions for lowing gas prices immediately.
What are they you ask? Well it’s the same as in every other business. You lower prices by creating competition! For instance, did you know that the reason gas stations within a small area all have gas prices within a cent or two of each other, is because they constantly shop/check each others prices to keep them comparable. They do this so they won’t lose customers to each other for long periods of time.
Similarly, if we begin drilling for our own resources, & stop listening to the environmental Steven Kings of the world, we will show oil cartels like OPEC that we are serious about NOT BUYING THIEIR PRODUCT unless they lower the prices!
It’s time to get serious peeps. Just look at your budget lately.. The only thing “Going Green” is Al “Green” Gore’s bank account.
Oh and then there’s Obama’s solution. Created a windfall profit tax against the companies who bring us our ene
