Maybe We CAN Drill Our Way Out!

In 2004, Senator John Kerry insisted we can't just drill our way out of oil issues; between then and 2008, assorted Democrats have claimed that mantra; now candidates like T. Boone Pickens are saying we can't drill our way out...and Pickens says HE should know, what with being a longtime oil tycoon and all.
 
If Nancy Pelosi and Pickens stood for four years insisting I had two heads on my neck, and enlisted marketers and activists to help parrot such mantra, that still would not put an extra head on my neck...evidence and dynamics do play a part in credibility, which never stands on say-so opinion.
 
The fact is, if Democrats or Al Franken or Pickens et al actually felt there was a true shortage that could bring human life to a standstill imminently in a short while, they wouldn't talk about needing wind and solar and biodiesel and ethanol in the far, far remotest eventuality.
 
The point is, opposition to Bush and ANWR et al seems mostly in the nature of "puke on Bush and the GOP, vote for me and none but me 'cause as long as there's ONE GOP left, pooey, what can we poor Libs and Mods do? Can't they see Mymood Alibabjihad has only GOOD in mind for us?Oh, boo-hoo-hoo, vote for MEEEEEE!!!!!!".
 
The one thing Pickens and Democrats CAN do is not even try to extract whatever oil we've got, which is odd given they don't even think we'll ever have a military or defense use again, and that they want the USA out of all the Mid East including its oil by any means obtained.
 
Worse, they say we should turn over all our contracted and sovereign resources together to foreign nations, so they can sell it back to us (through Pickens' production systems?) at exorbitant rates...q.v., LOST and U.N. "globally nationalized" resources deals which have left Norwegians paying over twice what we do for oil in their own backyard.
 
For these reasons, I respectfully submit that Congress should not adjourn until it lifts its own ban against domestic drilling.

Some Job And National Security: Govern Like The Folks You Save Immigrants From.

Another academic set of observations I respectfully submit as a concerned USA national and voter, in that it examines what partisan concerns have directed to me for approval by Democrat House mail as represented through the latest email edition of "House Call".  I consider everything on weight of inbound-only immigration re the West and USA not seeming, through assorted pundit and candidate exhortations, to yet have helped one iota the cause(s) of folks such pols say need "compassion" or "liberation" from...including TV ads for feeding starving children abroad with such ads now so old, they have grandchildren themselves; one considers also the success of uplifting jobs, agriculture, dignity, and so on by transporting as many immigrants as one may as rhetorical "bait" for commerce ( or stopping jobs from leaving the USA even through living room for swelling inbound populations takes precedence, which even some GOP candidates appear to espouse) and fixing everything by assigning expedient unity, rights, and freedom as top officials take notion, and trickle down through sub-federal levels so that the perfect State is arrived at through constantly using European Union Parliament Article 13 type muscle to ensure "unity" behind "practices which will keep us safe and not provoke those abroad hating freedom or taking criticism well"...even, say, if per Article 13 of the EUP and the notions of the PSE Socialist Group therein extremists are encouraged to jihad by little more than a promise of a home, credit, welfare, and so forth ala Atta, and even if thus not even Islamic terrorism is made to wither and AUMF-type subjects are supported against troops fighting them. 
 
It seems obvious that Socialist Hitler and Socialist-like Communist leader Stalin governed just like each other yet that alone brought no real peace bewteen them; another example would be that prior to Henry VIII of England, most of the globe's governments were either absolute chiefs or absolute monarchs, all governing the same ways essentially, yet history is rife with its own examples that just governing like EVERYBODY else...even in a totalist sense...has not per se been even close to a guarantor of internal prosperity nor of peace bewten the rulers of nations.     
 
Yet per relevant Speaker Pelosi PSA, simply going with the flow of and in the nature of foreign governments will not provoke them, and bring immigrants and nationals alike unity, rights, and freedom...even if Obama's campaign were to say or imply floating "attitude adjustments" will be needed to make sure the "right" folks of any moment are placated (as opposed, say, to something that benefits the manifest whole at once and in line with the purposes and intents behind the Constitution in the first place).
 
I say this as the PSA begins with a statement that Democrats will demand Bush release oil from the USA strategic reserve to help Americans.
 
Already this election year, it was Democrats who insisted upon hiking the gas tax with no known (public, at least) tether as to what such funds would be used for; one giving benefit of doubt merely assumes the tax is a way of ensuring oil will not be diverted to strategic reserve from general resources of same...i.e., the tax is merely to ensure gas prices rise high enough to prevent gas station losses for momentary decreases to public fuel for building reserves.
 
Also this election year, Democrats have blocked drilling in ANWR, which would only "disturb" about 3,000 out of 17 MILLION acres; concurrently, Democrats say it would harm the poor wiiddow Caribous or whatever, and yet they applaud and beg HIGER PRICES from Chavez, who with Lula has turned much of the rainforests down there into New Urban Socialist housing projects and gerrymanders of oil pipeline...no complaints from Libs or Democrats yet about poor wiiddow fishies or whatever there, and worse, Democrats want LOST which ala Norway would allow Iranians and Chavez types to control our own natural or acquired oil resources and sell it at at least TWICE the current USA pump price average...and leaving THEM in control of our ability to help ourselves or anyone else, including re job and commerce production.
 
Wherefore, there being such suppressio veri and suggestio falsi of the Democrat party and in particular a PSA today entitled "House Call" from Speaker Pelosi's office, I respectfully submit as a USA national and voter that I do not support the concept of letting the very parties causing jihadists to have diplomatic immunity, and those causing emigrations to the USA and the West by decades-long and never-ending oppressions and bad managements, stay as they are and convert the West and USA to their style of governance...it seems wholly counter-productive to the very polished stories and promises those encouraging it make, for not only USA nationals but every normal person on the face of the earth.
 
A good alternative might be actually funding production of biofuels and ethanol SOMEWHERE in the USA, so that all possible jobs to be kept or "baited for" in the USA might not suffer due to lack of fuel consumed by drivers, that drivers soon not be out of ANY fuels anyway, and that the USA may have reserves any rational nation would desire...no need to govern like others abroad just to aimlessly squeeze the earth's last drops of oil from them, and hope nobody notices.

Missile Shield: To Defend Freedom, Or Jihad Joe In Transplanted And Dicey Cover?

One could make a case that perhaps the Obama/Wes Clark/Democrat protocol on future nature of USA industrial-military complex is to ape the European Union Parliament's ways of dealing with Islamic terrorism: use sweeping powers to re-arrange nationals and regular immigrants, regardless of commercial/job/alternative fuel/regular fuel/farming land sacrificed, let in the avowed and even ONGOING Islamic jihadists, give them a mainstream life and keep it up even if they kill more in your country, then use email spam/church attendance/race simple/whatever "some evidence" you feel to sweep up any immigrants or nationals NOT Islamic terrorists...'cause even if two guys in Nowhere Earthpoint across the globe drop a cherry bomb down a toilet to spite poobah X and his local nose picking tax, if a Jihad Joe in Europe or the USA says a European or Hispanic or USA person "appeared to be getting alleged spam despite tons of personal data terrorists hack or steal as identities", gee, HOW could Jihad Joe a-knowed that unless some Hispanic or USA national DID request contact with him, like Jihad Joe says? Better go detain or rendition that bad immigrant or national, and give Jihad Joe a raise! Oh...and get us a missile shield in case China or Russia or whoever also mis-understands why USA officials would want Islamic terrorists treated with kid gloves and almost global diplomatic immunity, as USA BRAC goes forward and they'll only blame USA, European, and Latin nationals (possibly some Africans) if a bona fide terrorist hits China, Russia, wherever.
 
That might explain why folks like Al Gore went from sounding cogent and sober about defense and foreign policy ( http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=9JE48XHKG64 ), then is taken today ala http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4_ASjFzi7J0&feature=related , and Democrats have become so pro-Qaedan recently as to include public expression of elation they're outing faces of anti-terror operatives FOR al-Qaeda (
 
Democrats promise the same essential feel-goods they did with John Kerry in 2004, and themselves in 2006; we've gotten a Democrat House to PASS HR 1955 as sweeping local and State powers to effect any immigration including Jihad Joes, 287g to make continued immigrant presences at whim of Mayors, Bill Clinton did NOT oppose sub-Federal gerrymandering of re-arranging nationals to accopmodate Atta types, there HAS been 911/prior WTC attacks, and Democrats DO insist we must appease Jihad Joes under any circumstances; one ponders: "why?".
 
Perhaps bloggers can figure it out, because media like Sgt. Schultz "See and know nuss-zing!!!" like LOST/DREAM/or Obama and Democrat pro-terror and HR 1955 talk; Democrats are busy superimposing Obama over Kerry '04, GOP from Lott to Hagel to Vitter to Craig and more are "leaving the field" again (as Lott said re 2006), and poor McCain/Conservatives/GOP claim they can't get a voice out (hey, does that make THEIR supporters "of interest" for alleged "no voice" simple, maybe going to Churches, too? No recourse is one of the terrorist profiles)...even though they have a President who could easily use network TV for any address he felt like giving on any topics.
 
Plus, if we all "vote Democrat" or "vote GOP", if both parties basically agree in joining Europe re immigration as Jihad Joe appeasement and cover against nationals and plain immigrants, umm...WHO would be left besides ALL or MOST of this November's voters to so find "of interest" or otherwise in re aping the European Union Parliament ( http://www.socialistgroup.eu/gpes/media/documents/47230_47230_terrorism_fin_070710_en.pdf).

Right Wing Conspiracy Just A Left Wing Opportunism?

My wife is of Ulster-Scot descent, including on one side a slight Dutch-Cherokee mix, and is a Stephens College business grad inter alia whose heroes remain Queen Elizabeth II and Jean Kirkpatrick; she spent much of yesterday telling me it's not my style to be politically or lawfully inert just because in past some have tried to kill, maim, or use Courts against me on account of truth or views, that I would not be happy with myself ever again if I shut up especially (SHE told ME) "in Illinois where NOBODY ever does anything to ANYBODY, you just imagine it or work in cahoots with strangers", and that I would not be the man she married and is happy with were I to not at least stay with Conservatives through this year's elections...in that spirit, and while we still plan to go elsewhere by this Fall, I will stay involved through the election.
 
I see at my email today Obama is going to have three thousand "we worship YOU for change" gatherings this Saturday; he claimed to have as many last Summer, but outside Chicago most seemed to have no more than the neighborhood organizer attend; maybe huge crowds all at once across America will be flashed by all media, together with "change" specifics.
 
Two other things seem more interesting as Obama reaches out with nebulous "change" palavers...Mayor Daley, after at least ten years, has finally noticed Chicago porches fall apart on first use, most folks today with crummy porches are new immigrants, and is going to nail those "right-wingers" who built and own them; and Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan (D) is going to start suing Countrywide inter alia mostly for immigrants and slightly for nationals re giving them homeloans and expecting them to pay without having work ( which Obama will tell you itself is due to all this xenophobic and nationalistic racism because too MANY jobs exist; q.v., must go green for global warming, as long as it doesn't involve work or land to produce own fuels or alternatives against U.N. LOST wishes).
 
You know, in re consumer credit protection here, one institutionalized thing with Chicago and Illinois Democrats is the practice of doing away with centuries-old doctrines hich make employers and those serve by contractors liable for acts and omissions of their agents; e.g., I have a Court order which requires Mid America to give good references on any inquiry ever-after, but Mid America filed for sheriff door knock-down after first seeing we had all possessions and ourselves moved into Oregon; you catch them on that or anyting else re CRAs, all they have to do is say "they didn't intend their agents, lawyers, or contracted services to do that", ditto can anyone say including your employers, and just like ab initio, Courts and Madigans feel it would be unfair to then have a proper party sign a reference or relevant verification and present it to you through them as part of any record. Correlatively, although a shopbook entry in usual course, unsigned CRA printouts are deemed "hearsay" if a CRA tells the State or a Court "not MINE!"...and anyone saying it is or that's what they got? Oh, more evidence of a vast, right-wing conspiracy trying to gain political advantage, ignore them.
 
As to Illinois Democrats and Attorney General consumer credit protection over actual matter, like Daley on the sub-State level with his porches or anything else, Madigan excels at winning suits, which always have deadlines for victims to contact her for settlement shares, but too often, wouldn't you know, so many people just never get in touch with her office in a timely or well-documented fashion; comes to mind the victory Madigan won a few years ago re Household: like the one my wife got, tons of folks around late 2000 et seq got bulk-mailed live checks in amounts of thousands of dollars, which enticed them to cash it and use money for anything at all, or tear up and throw out if they didn't want it; yep, wouldn't you know, my wife and I then living in Nashville TN, no matter what proofs of content and mailings and relevant contact attempts we had, doggone it!! We were just to stupid, lazy, or both to get a "timely" claim in, just like all the other sluggards obviously working with Bush and McCain in a vast right-wing conspiracy to make good folks look bad.
 
So anybody gets a settlement entitlement via Madigan, maybe videotape what you do to timely comply and put it on Youtube or whatever as backup; wouldn't want to have your USPS proofs called part of a vast conspiracy, would you?
 
As to porches and Obama as the Lord Of Job Creation: Um, 287g also works here such that you round up as many immigrants as you set up in homes, in election years "round up and get out of town" all those "illegals" a vast conspiracy let in, put up cinder block and facade quickie little warehouses and store fronts which then remain eternally "for sale" as proof of attracting commerce and jobs, move all the "287 g roundups" to a town or State a little farther away from town than most folks go, build so many exurbanite New Urban communities with crummy porches and all, the mind reels how commerce (or structural perfection) can possibly compete with new super-fast build ups of such communities. Ususally, in "off" years, new immigrants go to the old town as nationals lose homes, process of packing 287 g's elsewhere repeats, easy election, easy big paychecks for officials...nobody gets work, equity becomes more political will than money or dignity.
 
Something to think about as Democrats eye HR 1955 to quash nationals AND immigrants to make mainstream lives for those demanding jihad against the USA or anyone else ala Atta and 9/11, instead of constraining them abroad as Bush does.

In Opposition To The Consumer-First Energy Act Of 2008.

While I understand some in Congress will necessarily be concerned about conserving over-all oil should President Bush add to the strategic reserve, taxing it if domestic and tax breaking it if foreign not only seems flailing for "goodwill" of Chavez and other dictators who NEVER are satisfied with the USA, since dictators et al will cut supplies anyway to constrain USA strategics, but seems to undercut the big commerce and good-paying jobs...the kind of good things Illinois Democrats now promise through "all-at-once" road resurfacings/widenings, promise to not use Neighborhood Stabilzation Act funds for but new immigrants/subprime/foodstamps/higher attendant costs, and building of strip malls smaller than the failed area businesses; these are important considerations, what with H&R Block now saying the stimulus payments are to be repaid from future refunds and are not "special".

It seems normal status quo market producers can cut back release of oil to the public with eye to job-making industry use as part of the strategic reserve effort, and really...unless and until one has income and purpose, what is the pressing need to drive or tool about anyway...I'm hardly "well-off", and enjoy health benefits (mental and physical) of walking, yet I walked from the day I was born through EVERY level of my income.

For these reasons, the here within following balance of text is verbatim as received from Americans For Tax Reform; having read and agreed with same, I endorse it, said text being, to-wit (addressed to U.S. Senators): 

As the economy shows some signs of entering a recession, it is disconcerting to hear Congress continue to talk about raising taxes, especially on domestic energy production.

Congress should be considering proposals that increase our nation's energy security and lower Americans' overall tax burden, not discouraging investment, hindering domestic production and killing jobs. 

It is essential to oppose all legislation that directly interferes with free-market enterprise and the basic fundamentals of a market-driven economy

I urge you to reject any tax increase on energy and instead work to promote a sound and diversified energy policy for the United States that does not punish our existing sources. I ask that you vote AGAINST any tax hike provisions that come to the floor.

Whether standalone, or part of a larger package, our economy cannot afford tax hikes on energy production.
