Don’t Get Used To Low Gas Prices; Iran Seeks Cut In Opec Production

// December 15th, 2008 // No Comments » // ECONOMY, ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES

When we hit $4.00 a gallon for gas the American people threw all their environmental cares out the window and called for more drilling for oil. Now that gas has gone back down to $1.70 or so per gallon the sigh of relief maybe short lived. According to FOX News those lovable Iranians miss the high oil prices. The Iranian Oil Ministry says Iran is proposing a production cut of around 2 million barrels per day.

It may be time to dust off your Drill Here, Drill Now bumper sticker. What most people forget is that this is all about supply and demand. If the Iranians can reduce the oil supply prices will go up. That’s the cost for doing business with our enemy.

Some of you who are more liberal minded may say, “that’s why we need to use less oil”, or “that’s why we need hybrid vehicles and alternative fuels.” Here is my reply, I DON’T WANT TO USE LESS OIL! I DON’T WANT A SISSY HYBRID CAR! I DON’T WANT TO USE ETHANOL! I want to drive the biggest car I can just to spite all of the environmentalist freaks. Whenever I see a hybrid on the road I get right in front of them and lay on the gas so as to expel my harmful carbon emissions their way.

Don’t be lulled by the present low gas prices. They will be rising again soon. Now is the time to continue to push for more drilling.

Democratic-led Congress Passes Phony Drilling Bill

// September 17th, 2008 // No Comments » // ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES

Pelosi and her fellow comrades think you’re stupid. Today Congress passed a phony drilling bill that allows offshore drilling within 50 miles off shore with state permission. The problem is that 88 percent of the 18 billion barrels of oil said to be under banned waters will stay off limits due to the likely scenario of state’s refusing to allow drilling.

The bill also imposes royalties and removes tax breaks for for the oil and gas industry. I suppose that Pelosi doesn’t understand that if taxes are raised on companies and industries then the rate hike gets passed to the consumer.

Although some Republicans voted in favor of the bill, most likely to avoid claims that they voted against offshore drilling, the majority of republicans are accusing Pelosi and her comrades of deceiving Americans in order to appear to support drilling during the election.

President Bush has said that he will veto the bill. Once that happens liberals and Democrats will point the finger at Bush as the reason there is no offshore drilling.

Don’t let Pelosi get away with this. Call her office: 202-225-0100. Let her know that you are not fooled.
