We are paying well over $4.00 a gallon for gas in this country, & for an extended period now. This is undoubtedly one of the biggest front page worthy stories out there right now, but you’d never know it by looking at the major news outlets in this country.
So why are you seeing so very little of it? Well because the Mainstream Media is covering for the fact that Democrats are mostly to blame for the crisis. They don’t want to talk about this, because they’ll inevitably have to talk about THAT..
CNN’s top priority for today for instance (at the time of this writing) is to continue the smear campaign of Scott McClellan against the current administration . Fox goes with whatever gets the most ratings for the moment. Nothing about fuel costs on either web site, at least nothing that isn’t buried a few links deep.
I do however give MSNBC credit today for talking about how Obama flip-flopped on Campaign finance once he figured out he could rake in millions of $$$ from virtually untraceable sources.
But the fuel crisis is something they won’t bring up often, because the WHOLE Democratic party had a hand in creating this mess.. Keep burning up that capital switchboard with your calls. Maybe it will sink in 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 energy/gasoline. Oh that’s genius. Who do you think that tax expense will be passed on to? The consumers will of course end up paying the difference, just like we always do.
I leave with some truth about how we got here, & who’s trying to stop us from digging out of this financial crisis for every American household..
It’s all right here in his own words.. He wants to play “lets make a deal” with lying terror sponsoring nations, & then disarm us.. What a genius.. Watch the video, & then vote accordingly.
Obama’s racist anti-semitic friends would like to see this country disarmed too.. Coincidence? Watch Obama the stutterer futilely try to explain away all his racist/radical associations.
What you will see in the video below is a very powerful assembly of facts.
The victims of 9/11 had no trial, no judge, no lawyers. Yet they were instantly executed by incineration, falling from the trade towers (or being forced to jump), or being blown to little pieces by some of the very terrorists who await military trial at the Guantanamo Bay detention center. Despite those hard facts, Our liberal friends on the supreme court have just given foreign terrorists rights that I can guarantee that you would not have in THEIR native countries. If you were suspected of terror in some of these middle eastern countries you would not even make it to jail before your head was rolling around without you in some dark alley or slaughter house. They have also given them rights that they do not deserve by any stretch of the imagination. They are NOT US citizens, & do not have rights under our constitution, no matter what these moronic so-called “justices” have done.
Now, our supreme court as a whole has betrayed the victims of 9/11, their families, our nation, & completely failed the United States citizens who entrusted them with protecting US & OUR RIGHTS, instead of giving those rights over to foreign enemy combatants.
In a despicable act of omission most major media outlets have whitewashed the story leaving out justice Anthony Scalia’s ominous prediction & statement: Scalia: “The Nation will live to regret what the Court has done today. I dissent.”
What highest court has done, is it has forgotten the lessons of 9/11. Sadly, what it will probably take is for the idiots who we’ve allowed into our court system & government to see thousands more of our citizens murdered in another large scale terror attack. Even then, they may be too far gone to learn any object lesson at this point.
Scalia also said the following in his dissenting opinion:
“The game of bait-and-switch that today’s opinion plays upon the Nation’s Commander in Chief will make the war harder on us. It will almost certainly cause more Americans to be killed.”
Your nation’s sovereignty is being hauled off in tiny bits like ants stealing from a picnic, & most of America is oblivious to it happening. This is a very sad day for what was once a great & sovereign country, but is now being eroded to mediocrity by Liberals with no courage. The ACLU have become like legalized domestic terrorists, & are destroying this country from within, & the general population is letting them do it by continuing to vote for liberals like them. Someday fairly soon, they will all see how deceived they’ve been, but it will be too late. The only way out then, will be another civil war, as this nation’s legal system is now being stolen out from under its own citizens by insane & corrupt liberals who’s educational qualifications far, FAR outweigh their moral integrity. Problem is, most Americans have become too passive & spoiled, & would not appear to have the stomach to fight against a rogue Government. We as a nation have let the enemies of mankind infiltrate several of our most critical systems of government, & now we will all have to pay for it dearly. We are beginning to see the fruits of Liberal Labor against their own country in the gas prices we are paying now. If you think this is bad, Just wait until liberals sell us out to the whims of muslim nations who control most of the oil. Remember, it is liberals who are keeping us from drilling for our own on our own soil.
We are certainly a nation that has regressed in the name of “progress” & become lost. May God help us, as only he can.

While I’m obviously no fan of Clinton, It’s really kind of sickening to watch Obama/Media Lovefest shamelessly continue, despite the fact that in the end we all know that the Super Delagates/Pontiffs in so called “Democratic Party” will decide who gets the nomination. Additionally it’s hilarious to watch the MSM scramble to counter the obvious success of Rush Limbaugh’s “Operation Chaos.”
All over the news this morning we see headlines like this one on CNN’s main page:
Analysis: Obama gains, can Clinton rebound?
Barack Obama has taken a major step toward securing the Democratic presidential nomination. Not only did he score a convincing win in North Carolina; but the close race in Indiana made Hillary Clinton’s difficult path to the nomination even more challenging.
NEW YORK (CNN) – Barack Obama took a major step Tuesday toward securing the Democratic presidential nomination. Not only did he score a convincing victory in North Carolina; but by drawing to a virtual tie in Indiana he made an already difficult path for Hillary Clinton to the presidential nomination significantly more challenging.
Msnbc.com:
NBC’s Russert: Obama has the nomination
In the wake of the North Carolina and Indiana primaries, Tim Russert, moderator of “Meet the Press,” tells TODAY’s Matt Lauer that “we now know who the Democratic nominee is going to be and nobody is going to dispute it.”
Addtional headline from MSNBC/NYT: Options dwindling for Clinton
Even a split of Indiana and North Carolina primaries was not a draw.
Despite narrowly winning Indiana, while losing North Carolina, Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton did not fundamentally improve her chances of securing the Democratic presidential nomination. If anything, Mrs. Clinton’s hopes for overtaking Senator Barack Obama dwindled further on Tuesday night….
If you look just about anywhere in the Main Stream Media today, stories of inevitable doom for Hillary Rodham Clinton abound!
Ok, but here’s the thing.. She could still win by the numbers!
Obama is a house of cards, & the winds of “Change” are blowing in HIS direction this time.
Meanwhile the William Ayers association picks up steam, with or without the help of the biased Main Stream Media Bowling club.. Eventually they’ll have to expose him, because if they don’t, bloggers will. The only difference between the MSM & bloggers these days, is we are better at bringing the truth to the people than the MSM. We & the geniuses in Conservative talk radio are their greatest competition, & they know it. So, the truth about Obama’s associations WILL eventually be forced out.
You gotta love the irony.. Mainstream Media who used to faithfully Bowl for the Clintons, now bowling for Obama, but eventually scoring a gutter ball just when it counts the most.. It’s coming, & you read it first here!
He “may” get the nomination, but there’s no way people will forgive his anti-U.S. associations in the end.
On YOUR Dime: Congressmen Lease Luxury Cars
Little-Known But Exploited Loophole Allows Politicians To Drive, Maintain Expensive Cars, SUVs On Taxpayer Money..
Rep. Charles Rangel: ‘My Constituents Appreciate It’
Pablo Guzman Reporting NEW YORK (CBS) ― You may not realize it, but members of the House of Representatives can lease a car and have it paid for by you — the taxpayer. And it’s not just the car, but gas, registration, insurance … the works.
And as CBS 2 HD found out, there’s no limit on how much they can spend.
Congressman Charles Rangel was recently seen getting out of his Cadillac DeVille, which he leases for $774 per month. Then there was Congressman Jose Serrano, getting out of his Buick LaCrosse, which he leases for $317 per month. And how about this one: Congressman Gregory Meeks was recently seen waiting for Congressman John Conyers to step out of Meeks’ Lexus LS460, which Meeks leases for $998 per month.
All those leases are picked up by taxpayers through a little-known program available only to members of the House of Representatives.
Full Story Here
___________________________________________________
So Democrat Congressman Charlie Rangel thinks his constituents “appreciate” his wasting our money on a luxury gas guzzler on our dime? What constituents was he talking to when he figured that out? The guy who sold him the Cadillac we paid for, or the owner of Gas station he goes to?
I mean give me a break. You can call these other people Hypocrites if you want & that may be true, but at least they are Hypocrites with THEIR OWN MONEY!
The there’s “do as I say, not as I do” Eco-Hypocrisy of Barack Hussein Obama & his big ol’ Chrysler 300, which he quickly dumped for a token hybrid once he got caught by the media with it.
Why are not more people enraged by this disgusting & atrocious Government abuse, while the tax payers are footing the bill?
It’s really crazy, all of it. I’m struggling to keep my 6 cylinder SUV on the road, while Charlie Rangel & his party tells me not to drive one because they’re “bad for the environment.”
Michelle Malkin is this nation’s un-reputiated voice of reason on immigration, & she’s put together these Great Top Ten Reasons on why McCain should get his head out of the tequila vat & distance himself from La Raza.
Instead, McCain seems intent on doing some ideological laundering in exchange for algunos votos.
I hate to say it, but if McCain gets into office we’re screwed. If Hillary gets into office we’re double screwed, & if Obama gets in, this country is going to get “La Razed.”
Well I had planned another story to come first this morning (Democrat sponsors of the “Save Act” waffling on the Immigration bill they sponsored, to avoid Queen Pelosi’s wrath), but this story is just a little more important than that at the moment.
Below is a picture of Obama supporter & self admitted terrorist friend William “Bill” Ayers, as he proudly tramples the American Flag in one of his many maniacal “Everyone look at me, because I need attention”, moments. The only redeeming thing about the photo is that Ayers is pictured in a back alley where the rest of the dirty rats usually hang out.
I mean yes, he’s a blithering fruit cake, & he’s of little consequence in the big picture, however, why was Barack Obama (who has refused to wear a flag pin at times, or put his hand over his heart during the pledge of allegiance TO THE FLAG), friendly with this fruit loop?
I mean now that Ayers has absolutely no excuse for his action, or hatred of his own country, I’m very sure that most Americans who appreciate what their country has given them will be able to sort this out in their minds just fine. Birds of a feather ALWAYS flock together. We don’t need a President who secretly hates his own country. Remember Michelle Obama’s famous quote? “For the first time in my adult lifetime, I’m really proud of my country … not just because Barack has done well, but because I think people are hungry for change,” she said. “I have been desperate to see our country moving in that direction and just not feeling so alone in my frustration and disappointment.”
No Michelle, you can’t have your husband running for President, make a statement like that, & then think we’re all too stupid to know that his success (albeit short lived) motivated your statement. It does however fit in with you and your husband’s arrogant attitudes, so I’ll grant you an A+ for consistency.
The Flag still flies over Washington, & as long as it does, we will NOT settle for leaders who deplore it. My forefathers died to preserve everything that flag stands for, & I will NOT stand by idly or silent while Barack Hussein Obama or his narcissistic sycophant buddies trample on it as spoiled children of democracy.
Speaking of Patent subject changes.. Michelle Malkin Brought up recently how proficient Michelle Obama is at deflecting even those softball questions she gets from the Mainstream Media these days. But I see an even bigger deflection occurring. The Obama campaign keeps deflecting those missiles that have the initials B.A. stamped on the side of them..
I mean I know everyone’s talking about Obama’s associations with the big mouth Reverend Wright, but besides the fact that HE’S ANNOYING AND OFFENSIVE AS HELL, as far as we know he’s never tried to blow anyone up yet. Amazingly, it seems like even the Blogosphere is letting this “friendship” of Obama’s with an admitted terrorist slip under the rug. That would be Bill Ayers.
”I don’t regret setting bombs. I feel we didn’t do enough.” Bill Ayers (pictured above) on his Role in the bombings of New York City Police Headquarters in 1970, of the Capitol building in 1971, the Pentagon in 1972. He sure loves his Cuba though!
The only hard facts that have come out so far are the $200 contribution by Ayers to the Obama re-election fund, and their joint membership of the eight-person Woods Fund Board. Ayers did not respond to e-mails and telephone calls requesting clarification of the relationship. Obama spokesman Bill Burton noted in a statement that Ayers was a professor of education at the University of Illinois and a former aide to Mayor Richard M. Daley, and continued:
Senator Obama strongly condemns the violent actions of the Weathermen group, as he does all acts of violence. But he was an eight-year-old child when Ayers and the Weathermen were active, and any attempt to connect Obama with events of almost forty years ago is ridiculous.
_________________________________________________
Of course they are missing the point entirely with Bill Burton’s response. We all know how old Obama was then. The question is, why would any person who loves this country, & IS NOT a radical just like Ayers, not refuse to sit in the same room as this guy?
He’s an self-professed domestic terrorist, & he’s completely unapologetic. How could an aspiring politician who loves this country stay in that room without spitting in his face, let alone sit on a board with him?
Look, if you go back & read all of my stories here, I actually tried to give Barack Hussein Obama a fair shake in the beginning, even condemning the Clinton campaign’s obvious racial undertones in the beginning of the Primary race, but this? THE GUY HANGS OUT WITH A MAN WHO HATES HIS OWN COUNTRY, & WANTS TO TURN IT OVER TO A GLOBALIST/COMMUNIST/SOCIALIST WORLD GOVERNMENT!
Of course Obama’s refusal to pledge allegiance to the flag doesn’t help his case, on top of spending 20 years listening to the OTHER American hating buddy of his, Pastor Wright.
Obama sure does seem to have a lot in common with these people he suddenly doesn’t like to talk about, or admit he has been friendly with.
If he weren’t asking for the job of Leader of the Free World, this may be off less consequence for him.
Unfortunately, he wants the Job of PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.
I mean really… They look like inseparable buds to me..
It seems he should have chosen his friends better early on in his political career, because his associations have created some legitimate doubt in the minds of even the most objective of voters.
Oh, on s side note.. With all these credibility problems facing his campaign, why in the world would Obama be the only candidate against giving United States citizens a relatively short tax relief on fuel?
Such a cozy picture of the man he’s not friends with suddenly huh? Snuggle snuggle back then though..
Even Pee Wee would have known enough to be hands off with these guys..
I know, I know.. Those damned evil Conservative bloggers.. There we go making sense again..
Reverend (& I use that term loosely here) Wright ended a weekend-long string of public appearances at the Press Club, & all but single handedly & completely demolished Barack Hussein Obama’s campaign. Wright used his appearance to provoke reporters, criticize his country’s foreign policy and suggest that Obama only distanced himself from Wright out of political expediency.
Obama said he was particularly “angered” by that suggestion.
“If Reverend Wright thinks that that’s political posturing, as he put it, then he doesn’t know me very well — based on his remarks yesterday I may not know him as well as I thought either,” Obama said.
________________________________________________________
Come on Barack! He’s Wright on this one, & right too!
Not too long ago you were saying: Wright was “like family” and that you could no more “disown” him than your own grandmother. Now you’re trying to act like he’s turned to Satan himself in the last few months.. We all know this is the same guy you’ve known all along, except now he’s pissed about being put out to pasture by the Obama Campaign!
Obama went on to say that Wright’s assertions that the U.S. government was somehow responsible for afflicting the black community with HIV were “ridiculous.”
“All it was was a bunch of rants that aren’t grounded in truth,” he said. “And I can’t construct something positive out of that.”
After 20 years of hanging out with Mr. Wright, you’re just figuring out he’s really “Mr. Wrong?”
