Will drilling solve our oil dependence problem?
Oil dependence is not a problem. The problem is that the education/media/political complex has distorted reality to the point that we are conditioned to perceive it as a problem. The creation of our oil based technology has been a godsend that past civilizations would have marveled at and killed to have. Even when we speak of the “suffering 3rd world nations” of today what we’re really talking about is the poor bstrds who have not achieved the technological advancements that most Western nations have. Our oil driven society is not a problem. People who push us to believe it is a problem are the problem.
Lately the education/media/political complex has coined a wondrous new phrase that throws most simple-minded Westerners into a dizzy distortion of reality from which they seem unable to recover. They insist that we are “addicted to oil”. The immediate reaction to that term is ‘Of course, that’s it! We’re addicted to oil!’ The implication, then, is that we don’t “need” oil. We’re just giving in to a physiological dependence. We could quit oil any time we choose to.
Bunk! That’s strictly a utopian fantasy.
Sure, we could quit oil…if you want to go back to the stone-age. What are they thinking (those few who actually are thinking)? Are they ready to go back to primitive tribalism? Do they think that they’re going to relive the good old hippy days…living on gov. welfare checks and eating out of garbage cans? Bad news people, without oil there will be no government to write those checks. There won’t even be garbage cans to eat out of.
Then you’ve got the evil one who’s running for President right now. You think he’s smart? Well, if he’s smart enough to understand what he’s saying he’s smart enough to understand that his oil “policy” will destroy this country’s ability to function. That’s right. His goal is to destroy capitalist America. Some pundits and talking heads realize that his declaration that more drilling won’t show any results for ten of twenty years is crazy talk. They understand that if it’s going to take 10 years to get to that oil you don’t give up and die. You get busy and start drilling. That’s the attitude that made America great for 200 years. Not Barack though. He and the madmen who believe they can control him insist that the right thing to do is to roll over and die.
Barack has plans of his own and they don’t include being ordered around by his present white political masters. They will get him where he wants to go and then it’s bye-bye to them fools. Barack’s goal is the same as Bill/Hill’s and many others who call themselves Democrats. They are not Democrats. They are classic socialists who have never given up the dreams poured into their young university trained skulls. I can’t say exactly what Barack’s socialist vision is. It appears to be a black centered dictatorship of some sort that calls for the destruction of fee enterprise and free will. Destruction of free enterprise and free will are common goals everywhere in the education/media/political socialist cabal of our present day but the black/racist centralization of power adds a dimension evil that goes beyond that of ordinary socialist dictatorships.
Barack is banking on his belief (learned from rev Wright) that white politicians are just as stupid as white citizens i.e. Leftists. Those pols think he is one of them and wants the same things they want – power and wealth. They think that since they made him they can destroy him at will if need be. They couldn’t be more wrong. Barack don’t play dat. His game is on a different level altogether. When he gets power it will be power for his people. He’s going to answer the question of whether or not he’s black enough alright. But take my word for it. Virtually every black on the planet is aware of how black he really is.
The Left has made it possible to kill off the American dream by turning the image of our country into that of a scab on the planet. We’re not. We are good people. We’ve built the finest and most generous nation in the history of mankind. That’s the reality and for at least a short while longer it will continue to be so. But even in the midst of all the blessings we’ve made for ourselves and tried to share with the world there are those who work to distort reality so that we fall into self-hatred and doubt. So many of us have succumbed to education/media/political manipulation already that our politicians have pure distain for the needs of The People. ‘The People will need what we tell them they need.’ Hello! You know what you need right now? You need to stop global warming.
Do you get it yet?

BY GOD MAN I AGREE WITH YOU 100% , ODUMBA is a RACIST who hates all white people not just republicans ,and if he can get elected he will bring an all "BLACK MUSLIM" tribe to Washington D.C. with him to sweep out all whites, he and Rev. Wright will run things the way it suits them and the "BLACK" NATION they worship !!!
Barack may have fantasies about what he will do as Pres. but the fact is that he will not be able to achieve any of them. The power of the office is far less than what people imagine.
What I think he will do is much the same as what Clinton did. He will put the must incompetent fools he can find in key positions (cabinet, courts, intelligence, etc.) and wait for everything to collapse. Neither Barack nor Clinton is capable of organizing his day let alone a socialist take over. They are elitists who depend on others to do their thinking and planning for them. Like the majority of our politicians the only expertise they have is in politicking, i.e. they can lie and make you believe they're telling the truth.
I'm not worried about any plan Barack may have. What worries me is that at the base of their fantasies is the desire to destroy the capitalist system that has made us great. They have no solid ideas as to what economic system will replace it. They only have the vague notion that when the power is in their hands they will make all things better. We have been sliding in that direction since FDR but the Dem/Socialists have been accelerating the process to a break-neck speed in more recent years.
Don't worry so much about racism either. We are all bigoted in one way or another.
Obviously you know Barack better than I do. I only know what I read and hear. But you're able to read his mind. No wonder you're smarter than me.
Go see my comment to Ms Whereabouts' blog today.
I checked your "My comments" list and did not see one for Whereabouts.
I went to her most recent posts and did not find a reply from you. What am I doing wrong?
My bad, nobull. It was actually Johnlance's blog.
Check Johnlance. I have no idea what I might have said if I had thought I was talking to a guy.
Go see Johnlance today. I thought I was talking to Ms Whereabouts. Hmmm.
Burrak Obama is a dangerous man....McCain, lets face it, not a lot to cheer about there either. As far as the "masses" are concerned, they seem hopelessly addicted to important things like who gets voted off the island or wins American Idol. I don't see good things headed our way, probably not for the rest of my lifetime. I sincerly hope I'm wrong. Good post.
Be of good jeer the south will rise again and vote in block against a black muslim the south believes in GOD , not a devil ALLA !!
You're definitely on to something here. The whole political mob is focused on appealing to the "Idol" watchers...the simple-minded dupes. You know who I mean. I'm talking about all those reality show watchers who sit in front of the tube in oder to be as far away from reality as they can get.
nobull: Do you read your own words? Do you really believe the nonsense of this post? A series of generalized rants topped off by "Don't worry about racism. We are all bigoted in one way or another." Your logic appears to be that since we are all bigoted in one way or another it is okay to be a racist bigot. You drop incendiary cluster bombs without fear of their fall out.
ODUMBA is a product of the liberals and the BLACK MUSLIM society of america, like Hitler he came out of no where and by the use of his oratory skills has conned a flock of fools to follow him into hell look at what happened to Germany , and remember what happened in "JONESTOWN" when fools followed Jim Jones, and I don't give a damn who wants to call me a RACIST .
I could be wrong in my generalizations of course but my real talent (I hope) is in being able to pull people's perspectives nearer to reality. You may say - and be right - that I am overboard in my Rightist speculations but if we can bring some people to the middle of where you and I are I would consider that progress.
Do you doubt that all of us are to some degree bigoted? My point is not that racism is okay. In fact my message to JoeZ was meant to calm his anger at being a victim of bigotry. JoeZ recognizes that he (i.e. his type; W.A.S.P.) has become the default bad guy any time some minority needs to invent an oppressor. Do you recognize it?
If the future does not bear out what I've said in the above post I will bow to your greater wisdom. If what I've said proves prophetic, however, I won't expect you to bow to me. I won't even expect you to recognize anything's happened at all. In your mind this will all be a matter of "progressing".
Now if you will spare me the courtesy of being more specific would you tell me if you agree with at least the first half of this post?
Ultimately Leftists are correct in saying that we are addicted to oil. I don't disagree with that. What I am pointing out is the price that must be paid if we are to quit cold turkey as the extremists insist we must. I'm not willing to sit out on my ice floe just yet. Staying alive and healthy is an addiction with only one alternative.
Given the rapid devaluation of the dollar prompting the increase in the price of oil. The cost to drill oil hasn't risen, jsut the market speculation because of the rapid decreased value of the dollar.
Off shore drilling and Alaska drilling will certainly bring us more oil but will do nothing to alleviate the cost. There is not a cause and effect realtionship between the two. Drilling for Oil in the states doesn't help our supply because that oil is sold and exported at whatever the going price is.
There is enough of a supply of oil and gas to keep us comfortable while we develop alternative and renewal energy sources to replace a significant percentage of our current oil and gas use. We have time. The planet will not explode because of our use of oil and gas. It will because of mass nuclear war but not because of our use of fossil fuels no sooner than it will freeze or catch fire because of global cooling or warming.
We have time we simply need to be wise and proactive about what we do and we have to stop electing CORPORATE conglomerate officials as PRESIDENTS! They have a fidiciary obligation to themselves and their corporate finaciers not to the American people and the public welfare.
I do not liek Obama and I never did. I do not trust Obama and I never did. His lies to his constiuents in Illinois are proof that he is a man that cannot be trusted.
On the same note, I do not like John McCain one bit. I refuse to vote for hte lesser of two evils because that is still a vote for evil and I will not support evil simply to support a party whose beliefs have faltered severely away from their heritage and founding principals.
Right is right and wrong is wrong. Evil is evil. There are no if ands or buts about it.
If Ron Paul cannot be nominated (he now has a chance due to the history making GOP actions in Nevada last week), then Bob Barr is the best best. I checked out Baldwin but I do not appreicate their stance on family. I do not beleive I have a right to dictate who can love who as that right belongs solely to God. Aside from the family stance, the Constitutional party has the same basic philosophy as the Liberatrian Party. Libertarians are true Capitalists and that is where you and I fully agree.
I agree with everything you've said. Don't worry about those corporate official types being elected though. This time we're electing a Socialist who intends to finish off our industrial based economy once and for all. Then you will truly long for the good old days of corporate productivity.
I may just throw my vote away on Ron Paul (Barr? Never!) this time. It's certainly going to be wasted no matter what I do with it.
I must start proof reading to catch all my typos.
I know Barr has a History but he has experienced an "awakening" since 2006. Also, I suspect The Constitution Party falls in line with you beliefs. They are true capitalists, just like the Libertarians but they believe in a one man one woman marriage and that is it.
Here's a bit of info on Barr as an FYI:
http://thirdpartywatch.com/2008/06/13/comparing-ron-paul-and-bob-barr-on-the-crucial-issues-of-the-day/
7. Bob Barr can’t be trusted because he’s not been a Libertarian long enough.
Barr joined the Libertarian Party in 2006. He has held libertarian
beliefs prior to joining the party. In 2004, two years prior to joining
the Libertarian Party he publicly and officially endorsed Libertarian
Candidate Michael Badnarik for President. He was called a “libertarian” due to his criticisms of George W. Bush’s Iraq war policies and
violations of civil liberties beginning in 2003. It seems that Ron Paul
and Bob Barr crossed paths in the night. Paul went back to the
Republican Party after his brief stint as the Libertarian Presidential
nominee in 1988 (although he remains a party member). Bob Barr left the
Republican Party because it left him.
6. Bob Barr is a Neocon.
Maybe in the mid-nineties this was marginally true. Today he is
everything a neo-conservative is not. Would a neo-conservative advocate
bringing our troops home from Iraq as quickly and safely as possible?
Would a neo-conservative advocate bringing our troops home that are
currently stationed in South Korea, Europe, and Japan? Would a
neo-conservative be calling for switching to a non-interventionist
foreign policy? Neocon Schmeocon. If Bob Barr is a neocon then Ron Paul
is a neocon.
5. Bob Barr is Ex CIA.
No one has been able to convince me that this is a bad thing. The
argument that just because Barr worked for the CIA makes him
untrustworthy is nothing more than conspiratorial horse hockey. You can
say you don’t trust him because he voted for some bad laws in his past,
but trying to argue that he’s untrustworthy because he used to work for
the CIA only strengthens your opponent’s argument. In doing this you
are generalizing to the highest degree. You are thinking of people in
groups rather than individuals. Looking beyond this “groupthink” one
should realize that being a former CIA employee is a great thing to
have on the resume when running for office. At least when viewed by the
average voter.
4. Bob Barr voted for the Iraq War Authorization.
I challenge you to think back at how you felt in the days and months
following the September 11th attacks. If you were in Congress and were
presented with reasonable and logical evidence that Saddam Hussein had
weapons of mass destruction and was intent on using them against the
United States how would you have voted? Unless you are a Ron Paul I
suspect you would have gone along with the majority who voted for it.
Now that we have the benefit of hindsight rather than the patriotic
tunnel vision we had during that time it is easy to be against the war.
If you were against it back then you were a true iconoclast. At least
Bob Barr has publicly denounced his vote and owned up to the mistake
rather than obfuscate with political rhetoric. Who better to spread the
liberty message than someone who echoed the voice of the majority of
Americans at that time, but then formed a new opinion as the Iraq war
moved forward year after year? The general public has taken this same
journey towards liberty along with Bob Barr.
3. Bob Barr Is/Was A Drug Warrior.
Many Barr critics don’t seem to understand the difference between
‘was’ and ‘is’. Yes, Barr was a major leader supporting the war on
drugs in the 90’s. I wore day glow green, yellow, and orange shirts in
the 90’s. I realized the error of my ways and modified my wardrobe,
eventually. Why is it so unacceptable to some that Bob Barr has
realized the error of his drug warrior past? He openly and passionately
campaigns for the decriminalization of marijuana. He is active with the
Marijuana Policy Project and is endorsed by its founder Rob Kampia. If
Bob Barr’s drug war transformation is sincere enough for an activist
working every day to minimize the impact of cannabis why is it not good
enough for some?
2. Bob Barr is no Ron Paul.
No one is Ron Paul except Ron Paul. No politician has the
unblemished 30+ year record fighting for liberty like him. It is unfair
and unwise to measure every candidate with the Ron Paul yard stick.
There is a plus side to Bob Barr not being another Ron Paul. Bob Barr
is trusted by conservatives who would never have considered voting for
Ron Paul. Bob Barr gives these voters an open window to climb through
into the liberty house. For example, radio and TV host Glenn Beck never
once said he would consider voting for Ron Paul even though he calls
himself a libertarian on some issues. Beck has said more than once that
he is considering voting for Barr. He even suggests Barr as a viable
option to his guests when the election topic comes up. What baffles me
is that Barr has the same foreign policy positions as Ron Paul yet the
reason Beck claims he could never vote for Paul is due to foreign
policy. Logical or not, Bob Barr could potentially bring in more
conservative votes than even Ron Paul himself.
1. Bob Barr voted for the Patriot Act.
This is by far the most common criticism of Bob Barr, yet it is
thrown around as a black vs. white criticism when the truth lies in the
details. Bob Barr voted for the Patriot Act so he could put a sunset
clause in it to force it to expire every 5 years. This clause requires
that the Act pass a legislative vote to continue. If Barr did not vote
for the Patriot Act his sunset clause would likely not exist. It would
be permanent. It was going to pass with or without Barr’s vote so
Barr’s strategic decision was to vote for it so he could shape it by
adding the sunset provision. This is Bob Barr jumping on the grenade to
save liberty. He testified against the Patriot Act in 2005 when it came
up for renewal. He has spoken out against it in just about every
interview since its passage. Yes, Barr voted for the Patriot Act, but
there is more to the story than just the vote.
I just reread my original response to you and when I made the statement about not electing corporate conglomerates, I didn't mean that I want a "socialist" in office because I am completely against socialism.
When I commented about the welfar of the public, my meaning was their "well being" with "their interests at heart". This was meant not for socialistic issues it was meant for national issues such as war, truth, integrity, etc.
I oppose socialism in all forms. I do not oppose providing help to the needy in desperate times for limited periods as we all must help those in need but I do not agree with any kinf of mandatory health insurance (the same goes for automobile insurance and in Illinois prior to divorce one must have insurance on the children as required by state law). I oppose any law that violates the rights of the US Constitution and mandates the individual to spend their money as the government dictates.
All of our issues as a nation and as a planet revolve around a very simple fact, that many people lack truth & integrity in all they do. That is the basis for our faultering and the crumbing of everything else. Truth & Integrity are the foundation of all morality, personal, national, global, and universal. The simpl fact is that is where the problem lies.
If each individual lived with honor by expressing only truth & integrity in all they do, all other problems of the world would cease to exist and those that already exist would work themselves by the natural order of things without effort. The only effort that needs to be made is to live by truth & integrity in all that one does.
I am so sick of mindless people thinking they can control effect when it's the cause that must be eliminated. A lack of truth leads to all evil. A lack of integrity is a lack of caring about the truth.
We need to simple eliminate the sole cause of all sources of evil and that can be done by instilling truth & integrity in all that every individual does. That's it. That's all it will take to cure the world of evil.
See below
And I did not mean to imply that you had socialist leanings. That never occured to me. I was just crystal ball gazing. I'm about to put up a post and will have to come back to the rest of your reply.
whereabouts: (1)I would agree with you about truth and integrity except that that is not the way the world works. You are a moralistic young woman (and I don't mean that pejoratively) who sounds more like a nun than a business woman.(2) If you mean by socialism government programs , and I think you do, I fail to understand your objection. Youo lumped automobile iand divorce insurance in the same breath with health insurance. Health insurance benefits far more people than the other two. (3) As a libertarian you are opposed to all government prrograms, right? Well, I am opposed to sin. But big deal. You are too bright and too intelligent to fall into the same congregation. Keep kicking, if you wish, but it doesn't have to be all or nothing at all. I am or good social programs that help people---all people. But I don't knock the share of private business to our economy. Stay well, and don't buy any socialized nickels!
