My comment on ethanol at my blog.

Ethanol will do only two things: reduce the food supply and make “Big Corn” the new “Big Oil.”

I sometimes wonder if leftist liberals really hear themselves.

Perhaps we should make it publicly obvious that Barack Obama believes all defense contractors and suppliers are corrupt and that the US government should no longer pay them and shut down their programs, since military equipment is not necessary.

That should throw a few tens of millions people out of work in a hurry.

As for the GOP being at the trough, do a little reading about your DEM buddies and Freddie Mac and Fannie May and Acorn and Friends of Angelo. That little slopfest has been going on for years with Dodd and Frank at the front of the line. Now, we the taxpayers, are going to be in line for a five trillion dollar bailout.

At my workplace (a small company), the “liberal” fascists have started a campaign to get people to cut back on the number of paper cups they use for coffee, etc. I’ve increased the number of cups I use.

Someone should start a Web site, “Easy ways you can increase your carbon footprint”.

I spent Earth Day 2008 putting the thermostat to 72 degrees and snacking high on the food chain. Then I went out and filled up my car with premium unleaded and drove for about 1 hour.

Deal with THAT, enviro-wackos.

I love gasoline. I love oil. I love carbon! I want to INCREASE my carbon footprint, and in so doing, I will accomplish more for the environment than all the smelly liberal environmentalists put together.

You see, the way to make the environment cleaner is not by cutting back consumption, but by increasing it. It is economic prosperity that allows society to become so wealthy and spoiled that they can give the environment any consideration in the first place, it is economic prosperity that ushers in the technology that has made usincreasingly cleaner, and it is energy that allows that prosperity.

It is for these reasons that anyone who doesnt want to increase our energy supply is an enemy of the environment.

The fact that I even have to DEFEND driving myself to work alone in these unequivocal terms and clarify for you that I will not feel guilty about it or apologize for it (and have NO moral obligation to do so) just proves how totally and completely out of control you leftist, village-of-the-damned, eco-dip-sh*ts have become. Who the fu*k do you think you are telling other people how to live their lives?! How dare you try to make anyone feel guilty for not capitulating to a list of rules and regulations that Al Gore pulled out of his ass for no reason but his own narcissism and GREED? Just take your tendencies to cooperate with any fascist plot the liberals put in front of you, and cram it. You and your nazi soldiers are terrified that domestic drilling will reveal new, abundant sources of oil, thereby causing prices to drop and keeping free Americans driving their own cars because they want to. The fact that you and your ilk actually PREFER a system where the state keeps us under its thumb, riding government buses and trains MAKES ME SICK. Presented with an option that preserves freedom (and the economy) and an option where the state has significant control over our daily lives, liberals ALWAYS choose the option that is closest to totalitarianism, and worse, tries to shame everyone around them into capitulating and giving up their freedom too because it’s what government thinks “is best.” It’s cowardly and pathetic, which is what you can always expect from liberals.

So, you go right along with your constant, desperate attempts to give away your freedoms to whatever empty suit you are currently worshipping. I will not submit and I’m sure as fu*k not going to feel guilty because I refuse to become a socialist lap-dog like you.

It’s a nice way to get to know people and have fun.

No, Robert. That’s NOT possible. It is public record that Al Gore can’t manage to reduce HIS OWN energy consumption by even 1% from one year to the next. Investors know that Al Gore is incapable of making HIMSELF independent from fossil fuels in 10 years, much less our entire nation. It’s just another mortifying, unbelievable lie Gore has fed to his adoring fans (the MSM). It is as likely to occur as dinosaurs hatching and running wild in Costa Rica, or an army of evil unicorns invading our planet and taking over. (Hence, it’s no surprise that idiot liberals see it as an “ambitious goal.”) It’s complete fantasy, primarily because Al Gore doesn’t plan to do anything to reduce his own fossil fuel consumption or anyone else’s. He’ll just continue crucifying Republicans for destroying the planet–that’s what will keep his snake-oil business profitable well into the next decade.

So, no, Robert. Nothing Al Gore says has any affect on ANYONE beyond the usual sycophantic adoration he gets from the MSM and his band of irrational eco-dupes, like yourself. Liberals will sign onto anything as long as it attacks and discredits Bush, no matter how ludicrous or silly. The price of crude went down because Bush lifted the executive order on domestic drilling, PERIOD. It didn’t happen because of anything Gore said, and it is also not attributable to the other HOWLER being peddled by the MSM: that Obama caused the price reduction when he made a speech mentioning those new-fangled “innovative” windmills and solar panels that are going to be the centerpiece of his suicidal energy policy. There is clearly NO LIMIT to what liberals will say to push their ridiculous agenda. For years, liberals have been telling us with straight faces that domestic drilling will do NOTHING to the prices–as if the economic axioms related to supply and demand simply don’t apply to oil. It’s unbelievable and totally insane, but there it is–start printing the bumper stickers! If the Obamassiah told you to, you ignorant puppets would argue that gravity only applies to some tangible objects, but not others. I just find it shocking how gullible and stupid Gore and Obama’s supporters are–they are literally willing to say or do anything they are told by the DNC. It wouldn’t surprise me at all if liberals started telling us that the Sun, in fact, occasionally rises in the West and sets in the East, if it would help Obama get votes somehow. It literally blows my mind.

It’s very simple – profits of large corporations have trumped the general welfare of the citizens of this country from the moment Bush entered office. energy, health, education have all taken back seats to Bush, Cheney, et al., helping out all their big corporate buddies (with special emphasis on the oil and “military support” industries (all at the expense of the american taxpayer to boot). It’s no wonder we haven’t caught Osama Bin Laden in nearly 7 years – the attacks on America gave the Bush & Company a huge gift of distraction (fight terror) while they and their buddies have swilled like swine unapolgetically at the public trough.

it’s a huge mess that will take years to clean up / fix.
