Arrogance - Thy Name is Obama
During a commercial at another station, turned to MSNBC to get the democratic talking points. I was surprised to see a segment by the New York Times campaign edition. I was able to get many democratic talking points anyhow. Apparently, the democratic New York Times and the democratic MSNBC have joined forces. Should I be surprised? Of course not. NewsWeek has been a democratic carrier of news for some time - hired the originator of DailyKos. MSNBC, NewsWeek, and the New York Times have been losing readers and viewers dramatically for some time. Don’t you think the Obama campaign should pay them as well as all the campaign spots he puts out in other areas of media?
I was glad to see that the Gray Lady’s quarterly earnings were down 82%. I will be glad when the Gray Lady shows her true colors and goes dark. The only people who read the New York Times and watch MSNBC are rabid Democrats, and not even the most rabid. The real rabid Democrats read DailyKos, Moveon.org, Huffington Post, and other slimy outlets.
Oil and gas efforts by the oil companies have been stopped dead by Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid, and the majority of people harmed by the high prices for gas at the pump are those in flyover country, and these are people who are mostly ignored by all the politicians. I would hope that all those in flyover country would call their representative and Senator (plus Nancy and Ole Harry) and let them know what you feel about this. Someone has to take on the Democrats and environmentalists, in their unpatriotic fervor,to keep this country from becoming completely independent on energy, and that does not set well with the U.N. lovers and those who want an international flavor to our country, even if it’s a detriment to our country.
The Republicans in Congress and any Democrats who want to lower prices of gas, get behind the small town of Elk Point, South Dakota with their desires to get their new refinery on line that will process 400,000 barrels of oil daily from our next door neighbor Canada with their tar sands. I would think this would be good for NAFTA. Efforts should be made by the Republicans to take away the obstacles that the Democrats and environmentalists will place in their way, as usual. Also, they should try to encourage other towns to follow Elk Point’s lead.
Notes of Interest:
- Bob Novak says how reprehensible it was for the McCain campaign to hint they were about to put out their Vice Presidential pick and didn’t.
Their Blatant Hypocrisy - And The Democrats’ Constituents Buy It?
We are certainly not the same Americans as we were when King George told us to get use to the tea tax and stamp act. Then, the Americans said “Like HELL we will!” and we bought our freedom with blood and tears. Now King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia says to us, about the oil and gas prices “Get use to it!” If we were as we were then, we as a people in a country would say to him “Like HELL we will!” Then we would build a couple more refineries, drill for oil in ANWR and off the continental shelf and find ways to remove the oil easily from the shale out west. We would immediately start allowing nuclear energy plants to be built. The only thing that keeps us from taking this action are those who were in the minority when we won our freedom - and they took no part in that effort. Those now would be the Democrats and environmentalists, who are against drilling, nuclear energy, new refineries and insuring our energy needs are met for now and centuries to come. In the meantime, there is nothing wrong with continuing the research on solar, hydrogen, and wind power.
As you know, the most likely place for use of wind power is off of Cape Cod and was killed by Teddy Kennedy and the high society and wealthy Democrat environmentalists of Nantucket and Martha’s Vineyard - as is always the case… not in MY backyard. And of course, they don’t live in the neighborhood that we common people do. Then, of course, the size of their pocketbooks makes them less concerned with the costs of energy. Short years ago, John Kerry and a few other Democrats in Congress wanted to add .50 cents a gallon tax on gasoline to discourage us hillbillies from driving so much. Kerry was the one with the 7 SUVs being used in his search for the Presidency. When asked about this he said the SUVs were owned by his family, not by him. The Democrats are so concerned about the use of energy (accept for themselves) - *NOTE* Al Gore’s use of energy on his Tennessee estate.
Elitists Democrats are saying “Don’t do as I do - do as I say!” My wish is that the Democrats and environmentalists would join with the Republicans and start drilling our energy independence and thumb our noses at OPEC.

This is similar to the Democratic party covering up the fact that they have had no legislation by having investigations, and then investigations. I guess they think as long as it keeps moveon.org, dailykos, and Huffington Post happy, they don’t have to do their jobs. A lot of the investigations Congress does is all for show with no intention of taking any action, as with the banks and credit card companies and the usurious rates of interest they charge. Congress has allowed this to happen, and they will continue to let it happen. Then when the banks get into trouble with their actions, they bail them out. All you hear from Congress is from their Committee Chairmen and their attacks and pontification about their investigation of the awful Republican administration and anything that MAY have happened.
Most of the hot air is coming from these Committee Chairmen:
- Patrick Leahy
- Charles Rangel
- John Conyers
- John Dingell
- Dave Obey
- Tom Lantos
- Chuck Schumer
- Barney Frank
- Silvestre Reyes
Also a ranking member with a LOT of hot air:
- Arlen Specter (King Pompous Ass)
The submitted NIE report is one of the most detrimental issues ever brought before the American and world attention. And those involved with this report, with the help of people that are of the same persuasion, are those who gave the New York Times classified information to print. I give this group of 16 intelligence agencies the same incertitude as I give the 9/11 commission, which is the same as I give all those committees investigating anything and everything just to get their faces and voices on television. All they are is a bunch of giant egos popping out of their skins. If only they would attend to their legislating of the country’s business.
