Is Libya all about the oil?

March 22nd, 2011 | No Comments

QuestionsView Results That’s not my poll, but it’s a dead-on appropriate question.  Obama says it’s about the intended genocide Khadafi threatened.  Well, that’s been going on unabated in Yemen, Sudan, and several parts of Africa.  What’s so special about Libyans that other Africans don’t merit? When Bush citied weapons of mass destruction and known threats [...]

(Name removed) blames President Obama for high gas prices, do you?

March 18th, 2011 | No Comments

Good question! QuestionsView Results What’s that you say? I left something out? Oh yeah. How many people would have answered differently if they had known it was Sarah Palin? Be honest. So many people are so hung up on the “Sarah Palin is stupid” liberal talking point that they more often than not will react [...]

Who won this election anyway?

December 22nd, 2008 | No Comments

The election of 2008 was running pretty good for John McCain for a while.  He had chipped away at Obama’s lead for a while and gotten a good boost from the publicity of the national convention and his choice for vice president.  Then, a couple of things seemed to totally derail his entire campaign.  I [...]

Harry Reid is clueless

July 22nd, 2008 | No Comments

Apparently smarting from polls that put his Senate leadership in the single digits, Harry Reid decided to fight back starting with this letter to The Hill Blog: When our country is in crisis, Congress must be ready to take immediate action. Democrats in Congress have tried to take action again and again. We have proposed [...]

Nancy Pelosi thinks the SPR will fix the price of gas

July 9th, 2008 | No Comments

Via See-Dubya at Michelle Malkin’s blog, with an assist from Gasbuddy: Apparently Nancy is finally starting to feel the heat.  So, she came up with the ultimate solution her feable mind could produce: July 8, 2008 The Honorable George W. Bush The President of the United States The White House 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, N.W. Washington, [...]

The politics of the energy crisis

July 5th, 2008 | 2 Comments

The jam we’re in right now was put in place thirty years ago.  In that time, we’ve gone from being an energy exporter to an energy junkie.  It really doesn’t matter where we get our hit, so long as we don’t have to accept any responsibility for it.  For instance: Oil – The Democrats absolutely [...]

McCain’s energy policy rocks

June 23rd, 2008 | No Comments

I LOVE this! The Republican presidential nominee-in-waiting is proposing a $300 million government prize to whomever can develop an automobile battery that far surpasses existing technology. The bounty would equate to $1 for every man, woman and child in the country, “a small price to pay for helping to break the back of our oil [...]

Saudi Arabia increasing production

June 15th, 2008 | No Comments

Saudi Arabia has announced it’s increasing production by 200,000 barrels a day.  There are some thoughts I have about the article. “Saudi Arabia is concerned that sustained high oil prices will eventually slacken the world’s appetite for oil, affecting the kingdom in the long run.”  I wonder what gave them that idea?  Could it have [...]

That pesky “Bush is beholden to oil” thing

May 12th, 2008 | No Comments

It’s making the rounds again as the Dems warm up for the fall.  Obama’s already testing it.  Clinton has worn it out already.  Several have already blamed the price of gas on Bush, and most have offered their solutions to the Bush problem.  When you listen to them make those arguments, remember one thing:   [...]

Hillary’s foreign oil strategy?

May 6th, 2008 | No Comments

This folks, is nuts: “We’re going to go right at OPEC,” Clinton said, on a last-minute campaign swing ahead of Tuesday’s Indiana and North Carolina primary clashes against her Democratic rival Barack Obama. “They can no longer be a cartel, a monopoly that get together once every couple of months in some conference room in [...]
