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.
