The War Against The CIA Continues

In yet ANOTHER reversal of policy by the Obama Administration, Attorney General Holder has announced he will appoint a special prosecutor to investigate the CIA interrogators who used tough interrogation techniques to see which of them will be prosecuted.
In a word: STUPID.
At a time when you would think that Obama would be trying to gain some allies for his policies, he is instead creating more enemies.
This shows an extreme lack of executive leadership experience and will strike another blow to an already wounded presidency.
Holder, and by extension Obama, have decided that one of the most important things they can do at this moment in time is declare open war on the CIA.
Brilliant. Nevermind the fact that we now know that the deficit will be an additional 2 Trillion for the next 10 years, the job situation grows worse every month and the American People are in an almost full rebellion against it's government. Apparently, none of that matters.
This whole attack on the CIA is dangerous because it's political in nature. The Obama Administration is doing this primarily so they can distract the American People from the REALLY bad news of the economy and the fact that their "stimulus" isn't working.
In the meantime, this action, even if it doesn't culminate in prosecutions, will have a devastating effect upon the intelligence community in this country.
This will cause a ripple effect that will spread far and wide throughout our wall of protection.
Many of these CIA Agents are selfless people who put their country before their own lives and ask little in return except for the gratitude of the nation and cover for them to do their job.
Let's not forget that we have been SAFE for 8 years now. It's not that there haven't been any attacks planned, they've just been thwarted.
That doesn't happen by coincidence folks. It take months and sometimes years of hard work in dangerous places upon this globe to gather that kind of information. Be glad you DON'T do it but someone has to.
All they ask for is protection so they can get their job done so that WE can all live in peace.
Instead, Obama plans to parade them before the Congress and embarras them publicly. How proud he'll be on that day.
We know for a fact that these interrogators DID gather actionable intelligence that SAVED LIVES. That's indisputable.
According to the Inspector General's investigation nearly 50% of all intelligence gathered that was deemed to be "good" intelligence came from the enhanced interrogations.
Most of which came from KSM himself: KSM, Khalid Shayk Muhammad , the architect of 9/11, “provided information that helped lead to the arrests of terrorists including Sayfullah Paracha and his son Uzair Paracha, businessmen whom Khalid Shayk Muhammad planned to use to smuggle explosives into the United States; Saleh Almari, a sleeper operative in New York; and Majid Khan, an operative who could enter the United States easily and was tasked to research attacks (part redacted). Khalid Shauk Muhammad’s information also led to the investigation and prosecution of Iyman Faris, a truck driver arrested in early 2003 in Ohio.” (Page 87 of the report).
In addition, the IG report (which was given to the Justice Department when it was written five years ago) alleges a number of abuses of detainees including “mock executions” and threats to relatives of the prisoners.
However, according to an August 19, 2009 letter signed by Sen. Kit Bond, ranking Republican on the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence and eight other Republicans, “Three former Attorneys General and numerous career prosecutors have examined the findings of that report and other evidence and determined that the facts do not support criminal prosecution.”
I think Senator Kit Bond's statement summed it up rather well: “First the White House usurps control over terrorist interrogations, signaling to the world they have lost confidence in Leon Panetta and our intelligence community, and now the Obama Justice Department launches a witch-hunt targeting the terror-fighters who have kept us safe since 9-11. With a criminal investigation hanging over the Agency’s head, every CIA terror fighter will be in CYA mode. With things heating up in Afghanistan and Iraq, this looking back and unwarranted "redo" of prior Justice Department decisions couldn’t come at a worse time for the safety of our troops in harm’s way and our nation.”
Reportedly, this has so angered CIA Director Leon Panetta, a VERY partisan Democrat from the Clinton Administration, that Holder's announcement of a federal prosecutor was prededed by what ABC News reported as a “profanity-laced screaming match” at the White House where Panetta may have threatened to quit.
They just keep piling up for Obama and he still hasn't learned anything. Soon, though he will realize that The White House can be a very lonely place when there are no allies outside of those pristine doors to watch your back.
As Autumn winds begin to blow their familiar , crisp air into the DC area as an omen of the coming Winter, Obama may soon find out how cold Washington can really be.

The Backlash Begins...On both Sides!

For a while now I have been saying that there was a backlash coming and the recent confrontations at many local "town hall" meetings is evidence of exactly that.
However, there has also been an interesting development that many probably didn't see coming. The Democratic backlash against...the Democrats.
The left-wing lunatics within the Democratic Party apparently don't want ANY moderation in their party.
From The Hill:
Reid slammed the DNC for targeting Democrats instead of Republicans or special interest groups that traditionally oppose Democratic policies.
“I think it’s a waste of money,” Reid said when asked about the ads. “Democrats running ads against Democrats?”
The campaign comes one month after a coalition of liberal groups, including ACORN, the AFL-CIO and MoveOn.org, launched a $1.1 million television ad campaign to sway centrist Democrats on the Senate Finance Committee.
So not ONLY are these poor Dems getting lambasted by their own constituents for supporting..well EVERYTHING but now they are also getting sniped at from the very same people who are supposed to have their back. Awesome.
It's a real sight to see. I almost pity them....almost.
I knew this would happen sooner or later and I said so many times. Obama and the Dems over-reached and now they are going to pay the price.
Apparently, they think we are in the middle of some kind of Liberal Revolution. Can you smell the pot in the air and hear Jimmy jamming the Star Spangled Banner in the background?
This is their BIG moment. We are witnessing the "Final Solution" that the liberals have been planning for forty years.
They are "all in" on this one and they want that bracelet (if you watch World Poker tour you know exactly what I mean here).
The question is how far are they willing to go to get it? Will they be willing to sacrifice a few "moderate" Democrats just so that they can shove this crap down the throats of the American People?
What they don't understand is that they are digging their own graves.
They are so drunk with power that they think they can do whatever they want.
Congress ridiculed the CEO's of the Big 3 for flying in to Washington in their private, corporate jets and then turns around and orders 2 Gulfstream Jets for THEM that will cost US $132 Million.
The White House is openly asking citizens to "report anything fishy" to them if there is someone out there that is posting wrong information about healthcare reform. That's right, TURN IN YOUR NEIGHBORS AMERICA! And you were worried about the NSA wiretapping program under "W"? LOL!
We are at a critical juncture in this country right now and the stress, the anger and the frustration at what the government is doing is going to reach a breaking point.
When double-digit inflation hits this country like a tsunami about a year from now this current situation will look like a blip on a radar screen.
Our government is effectively treating us like dogs and they've backed us into a corner.
When our "elected representatives" begin deciding on THEIR OWN what they will and won't support then it's time to clean house.
Somewhere along the line, they forgot that they are supposed to represent US.
How dare they think they can go to Congress and pass legislation and NOT have to abide by it as well.
This is exactly the type of elite mindset that caused the first American Revolution. "Those commoners won't dare stand up to us."
There is still time to rectify this but it better happen soon.
Mark my words: this is only the calm before the STORM.

The CIA Witch Hunt

Everyone has themselves in a tizzy over the secret CIA program that Cheney allegedly hid from Congress. This is much ado about nothing and is turning into a Democrat witchhunt.
First of all let's look at some important points:
Point 1: This program never went operational.
Point 2: The reason why VP Cheney decided to keep it from Congress was most likely to KEEP IT SECRET.
Point 3: This is nothing different than what the Obama Administration is doing RIGHT NOW!
Now let's look at them more carefully.
Point 1: As reported today in the WSJ:
One former senior intelligence official said the program was an attempt "to achieve a capacity to carry out something that was directed in the finding," meaning it was looking for ways to capture or kill al Qaeda chieftains.The official noted that Congress had long been briefed on the finding, and that the CIA effort wasn't so much a program as "many ideas suggested over the course of years." It hadn't come close to fruition, he added.
Senior CIA leaders were briefed two or three times on the most recent iteration of the initiative, the last time in the spring of 2008. At that time, CIA brass said that the effort should be narrowed and that Congress should be briefed if the preparations reached a critical stage, a former senior intelligence official said.
It never did, no need to brief Congress. If the intelligence agencies of the government were required to brief Congress every time they got an idea they would NEVER get anything accomplished.
Point 2: Less than TWO WEEKS after this program was "discovered" and briefed to Congress it hits the FRONT PAGES. Is there any wonder Cheney thought it best to keep it quiet until it became operational?
Obviously Congress is full of leaks and cannot be trusted and certainly NOT the hostile congressional environment that existed in Bush's second term. Cheney most likely believed, as I do now, that the Dems so hated Bush that they would have "outed" this program just to spite him. Nevermind the fact that he only had our safety in mind, that means little when power is at stake.
Point 3: This is the most ridiculous part of all of this. The righteous indignation that some in Congress are trying to portray when it comes to the mission of this program: assassinations of top Al Qaeda leaders. Not the "A" word!
Nevermind the fact that the world would be much better served if a few less bin Laden's were walking around but there is no difference between what the Bush Administration wanted to do with this program and what the Obama Administration is doing now in Afghanistan and Pakistan.
In Newsweek 7/8/09:
The Obama administration's much-heralded new strategy in Afghanistan and Pakistan (AfPak, as the portfolio has been called) is to pour in piles of cash to develop the countries being rent by militias like the Taliban. But the plan is much more equivocal about the tactics for combating those groups. Under Gen. David McKiernan, the previous U.S. commander in Afghanistan, Predator drones were a primary tool for engagment, but since the man who replaced him, Gen. Stanley McChrystal, has announced a mandate to limit civilian deaths, experts thought drone attacks would abate. Not so far, according to this week's news.
So as you can see, nothing's changed. Instead of CIA agents on the ground taking out high-value terrorist operatives, we are now doing it from the sky with predator drones. It's still assassination no?
So what is this REALLY about? Cover. Political cover to be exact.
What you are witnessing is the Dems rallying around the flag. They are closing ranks to protect thier leader, Speaker Pelosi.
She got caught. She knows she got caught. WE know she got caught. And yet, she persists. The Dems can't allow her to fall. No matter what, they must keep her there.
If she falls they will be crushed. The political ramifications of something that big would send shockwaves through Washington and beyond. This would turn the American People against them and quickly. The just got their power back and they by no means intend to give it away.
So they have decided they are going to dig in and fight. They are going to fight the most powerful, secretive and skilled intelligence agency in the world. (The Israeli Mossad is a very close second)
The people WE call on to bring down countries from within. The ones we call on to know everything about everything BEFORE anybody else knows it.
Well all I can say is good luck. Your going to need it. This is going to get ugly...soon.
Oh and for those of you with wet dreams about Cheney doing the "perp walk" for this, think again. You don't serve in the government for as long as Cheney has without knowing how to protect yourself.
Remember in Washington it's not WHO or WHAT you know that keeps you out of trouble. It's WHAT you know about where the "bodies" are buried. Cheney knows not only that but he also knows who put them there and they know it.
This is nothing more than politics, pure and simple. As usual, when it comes to choosing between thier power and the good of the People, The Dems choose their power. Typical.

Stimulus NOT Stimulating

Even though the Messiah can't bring himself to admit it, he was dead wrong on the economy and now it's starting to show.
Instead of admitting that they made a mistake the new spin out of the Obama Administration is "we didn't misread anything, we had incomplete information." That almost sounds like "I tried marijuana, but I didn't inhale." Sure Mr President, we believe you.
Apparently the Vice President is the only one in the Administration that has the guts to admit that they screwed up. He actually came out and said "everyone guessed wrong...we misread the economy." I'm sure Obama will have a "talk" with him when he gets back to The White House for that one.
However, the cracks in this house of cards are starting to show and the foundation is starting to tremble.
Unemployment is nearing 10%.
Jobs are continuing to be lost (about a half million a month)
The stock market is in neutral.
Foreclosures continue at record levels.
The residential housing market is dead and now the commercial real estate market is slumping as well.
So when exactly is the "stimulus" supposed to start working?
Apparently, it's not going to. By their own admission, the Obama Administration is now saying that the first stimulus was NOT ENOUGH. We need more they say. We need another stimulus.
Another stimulus? Why?
If it's not working then why would you try the same thing AGAIN? Not only that but WHO is going to lend us the money this time around? We can't pay for the last stimulus?
I know it might sound like an episode of the Twilight Zone folks but this is where we are in this country today.
In the meantime, Europe is embracing conservatism and cutting taxes.
Folks, I wish this was a joke. I really do. Some nightmare that we will all wake up from at some point. Unfortunately, it's far too real and the idiots that we have running our government don't have any idea what they are doing.
It's my belief that they are employing the "spaghetti" method in Congress these days. If they throw something up against the wall and it sticks, it's good!
While the Obama Administration and our Congress of Fools debates another stimulus and borrowing more money to mortgage our children's future, it would appear that the American People are finally starting to wake up.
In the Washington Post today: Barely half of Americans are now confident that President Obama's $787 billion stimulus measure will boost the economy, and the rapid rise in optimism about the state of the nation that followed the 2008 election has abated, according to a new Washington Post-ABC News poll. Overall, 52 percent now say the stimulus package has succeeded or will succeed in restoring the economy, compared with 59 percent two months ago. The falloff in confidence has been sharpest in the hard-hit Midwest, where fewer than half now see the government spending as succeeding.
The falloff since April cuts across partisan lines. Confidence in the package's effectiveness has dropped from 81 percent to 73 percent among Democrats and from 32 percent to 26 percent among Republicans. Among independents, it has dropped from 56 percent to 50 percent. What was once a clearly positive assessment of the program among independents (56 to 39 percent) is now an almost even split (50 to 47 percent).
There are other polls that have similar findings but since this is the one that the media often touts I thought I would use it as well.
With this kind of return on our investment from the stimulus bill, I'll bet you can't wait until they start "fixing" healthcare.
Signpost up ahead reads.....well you know.

Admiration or Worship?

Counting this latest cover with Michelle Obama on the cover, this will be the 21st time that an Obama has graced the cover of Time Magazine. That's right 21 TIMES!!!
Given that The President hasn't DONE anything yet isn't it a little premature to make him King? I mean sure he is a handsome, black gentleman with a gift for using teleprompters , I mean giving speeches but what has he accomplished? BESIDES taking over the financial industry, apologizing to every enemy of America, funding abortions overseas with our taxpayer money and nationlizing the automobile manufacturing industry.
Look, if he ends up being the guy who turns this mess around and brings America back from the brink then sure, let's name some schools after him. But we might want to wait to see how this all ends up. Otherwise, Time as well as a certain segment of the population is going to look awfully stupid later on down the road.
By the way, can anybody tell me what "The Meaning of Michelle" is supposed to mean? Should we canonize her? Should she now be known as St Michelle, The Patron Saint of those without (designer) Shoes? This is all getting a little ridiculous and someone's going to end up with egg on their face.
You need to stop the worship of these two and hold them accountable. Sure, they are the first African- American's to reside in The White House. I know, believe me, I know. That one fact seems to be the most important thing about these two according to some out there. Sooner or later though you need to put down the Kool-Aid, stop the infatuation and realize that they are playing for keeps here.
Think about this for just one second: Including the debt that the Federal Reserve has recently bought up, our government, YOUR government, has borrowed more money in the last 6 months than in the previous 30 years. The catch phrase inside the Beltway these days is "Trillion is the new Billion". However, let's not forget that someone is going to have to pay that bill.
Let's stop the worship of the Messiah and make this man tell us why he feels the need to saddle the next TWO GENERATIONS with crippling debt. Would you abuse your own child? Then why let a stranger do it? This is government sanctioned child abuse and we are standing by and letting it happen.
Who is going to be next? What other bailouts are coming down the road? What happens when the debt load is so large (some say it is already) that the only way to pay it back is to raise interest rates. What are you going to say to your children and your grandchildren when they tell you that they can't afford to own a home because the interest rates are in the double digits?
There is a wave of crippling inflation coming and it will be painful for the large majority of Americans. Expecially those without disposable incomes. You know, the MIDDLE CLASS. Those folks that Obama promised he would help out and who probably got him elected because of that promise. They will get hurt the most.
If you are NOT outraged at what is going on then A. You don't understand the stakes B. You don't care or C. You think we are heading in the right direction. Well, there is a sign up ahead people and it's says DANGEROUS ROAD AHEAD, PROCEED WITH CAUTION.
It's high time some of you heeded that advice. This train is going to wreck sooner or later, that's a fact. The question is can we stop it in time. Unless we demand that our government STOPS BORROWING and SPENDING money we don't have we won't see a change. Even the Prez admitted as much. As stated in a Bloomberg article on May 14th:
President Barack Obama, calling current deficit spending “unsustainable,” warned of skyrocketing interest rates for consumers if the U.S. continues to finance government by borrowing from other countries. “We can’t keep on just borrowing from China,” Obama said at a town-hall meeting in Rio Rancho, New Mexico, outside Albuquerque. “We have to pay interest on that debt, and that means we are mortgaging our children’s future with more and more debt.” Holders of U.S. debt will eventually “get tired” of buying it, causing interest rates on everything from auto loans to home mortgages to increase, Obama said. “It will have a dampening effect on our economy.”
So if he KNOWS this to be the case then WHY is he proposing that we spend and borrow more money? Is anyone out there paying attention? Have we completely just checked out? Have we thrown in the towel on America already?
If this continues we may need to rewrite our most precious documents to read that we are now a People Of the Government, By the Government and For the Government. There is still time left but the sands are running out of the hourglass at an alarming rate. It's up to us, ALL of us.

The "bloom" is off the rose

Well that didn't take long. I have been waiting for Obama to do this and he finally did. All throughout the campaign as people would shower him with accolades about being the "chosen one" he would tend to brush them off. After all, he is smart enough to know that eventually that would turn many people against him if he displayed an air of entitlement. However, now that he is in the Oval Office he appears to be ready to assert himself and cash in on that moniker.

At a recent White House meeting with Republican "leaders" ( and I use that term lightly) Obama made the comment "I won" when told that they had some concerns about the new stimulus package he is trying to get the Congress to pass. This comment tells me that he has no intentions of playing fair with the other side and with the Dems in control he plans to ramrod whatever he can through both Houses of Congress while he has the opportunity.

That comment also tells me that he plans to assert his new found "messiahness" to his advantage and belittle the GOP whenever given a chance. Make no mistake, there will be NO bipartisan cooperation with this White House that isn't coerced. Obama plans to bully the GOP into submission and he off to a great start.

My feeling is that at some point Obama will over-reach and will over-play his hand. His recent comments about Rush Limbaugh confirm this. According to the New York Post (and the headline on the DrudgeReport) Obama also said "You can't just listen to Rush Limbaugh and get things done." Obama feels that he has so much political capital that he is untouchable and that he can do almost anything and get the approval of his "Obamacons". He's right too! These zombies will believe anything he says and they will give him a pass on just about anything he does. For now. Going after Rush Limbaugh is a big mistake and it's been tried before. Be careful Mr Obama, many have tried....and failed.

Even the media is starting to see that Mr Obama is signaling that when it comes to THIS White House things will NOT be business as usual. Obama used the media to disseminate his propaganda during the campaign to persuade the ignorant that he was NOT a liberal, socialist and that he was a new kind of politician. The media obeyed and did it's job (thank you Chris Matthews, Keith Olbermann, MSNBC and the list goes on) and they expected that there would be some kind of payback for their loyalty. Sorry, not in this administration. Just like everyone else the Mr Obama used to get to where he is he has left them behind.

I think we are going to see a very different President than we have see in a very long time in Mr Obama. He will aggressively, but cautiously, put forward HIS agenda and he will not compromise on anything. He will run roughshod over his enemies and he will have no mercy. After all, he is accountable to no one. His minions think he is a god and his critics are afraid of him. This is going to be interesting to watch and very dangerous for America!

The Torch has been snuffed out

I keep hearing the media talk about the "torch being passed' to Obama today. Quite frankly, anyone who sees this man for what he truly is knows better than that. The torch isn't being passed as much as it is being snuffed out. No longer will America be the land of opportunity. From here on out we will be the land of opportunity that the Government says you can engage in. If not, no dice. We will no longer be a nation guided by the rule of law. Instead we will be guided by an activist Congress, an activist Supreme Court and a weak, but charismatic President that will be stuck in the middle. No longer will we be a country that practices Capitalism and Free Trade. Instead we will be a Socialist Republic with isolationist tendencies. As much as the media and the Obamessiah would like you to believe that we are entering a time of great promise in America, we are actually entering a time of great distress and danger. The very fundamentals that have kept this country strong for over two centuries are under attack.

The other day Obama said that we have an "imperfect Constitution but it could be perfect". What does that mean? Does he plan to change the sacred text that built this country? Does he think he has that kind of political capital? Be careful Mr Obama. Yes, you won the election and yes, you are making history but don't think there aren't those that will resist you in every way if you attempt to change this country radically. This is your day. Enjoy it. Tomorrow, Sir, you become accountable to We the People and "We" will be watching.

The Circus is Coming!!!

I hate to say this folks but if you aren't already, you need to prepare yourselves for a fantastic spectacle that will soon be unveiled. I'm talking about the Washington, D.C. Circus (aka the Government of the United States) because it's soon coming to a city/town near you. The way this is shaping up is magnificent!!! We will soon be under the governance of this circus and all its sordid cast of characters. Let's take a look at the performers, shall we?

Ladies and Gentleman and children of all ages....Your Master of Ceremonies...

Barack Obama-Soon, he will no longer be the President-Elect. In fact he will actually have to MAKE a decision and maybe, just maybe the MSM will hold him responsible for the outcome. The "messiah" will soon no longer be able to say "We only have one President in this country at a time" while shirking responsibility for the many difficult decisions that THIS President has had to make. Sure "W" didn't get it all right but no one has. He kept us safe for 7 years. For that alone he would get my vote again. How long will it be before we are attacked again..we shall see. The main reason Obama scares me is his record...or, um lack thereof. I STILL can't find a single Obama supporter that can tell me what this man has done. NOT ONE. The only thing they say, while their eyes are glazed over like some kind of zombie, is that "he inspires hope". WHAT? Are you kidding me? THAT'S a reason to vote for someone at one of the most critical times in this nation's history? So let me ask this question of you Obama supporter's: What if he ISN'T up to the task? What if he CAN'T do it? What then? Will Joe Biden burst onto the scene and rescue us all? This a very dangerous world and we don't have time for someone to get "OJT" or On the Job Training. And one more thing that you need to consider. Have you EVER know anyone that has come out of the Chicago Political Machine and NOT been dirty? Anyone?

If you will direct your attention now to the center ring....I give you the Lion Tamer...

Hillary Clinton-Just when we thought we were getting rid of the Clinton's, Obama did what I knew he would..he named Hillary Secretary of State. Payback? Appeasement? Who knows? I would have loved to have been a fly on the wall for those conversations though!! Obama has no idea what he has done. But, just as all of those that serve the Clinton's eventually discover, he will have a rude awakening at SOME point down the road. For her part Hillary will be magnificent in this role. She'll try to be Golda Meir, Madeleine Albright and Margaret Thatcher all rolled up into one. She will be feared, she will be respected, she will be majestic! and she will be a disaster!!! If there is one thing that I have learned from watching the Clinton's in the last almost two decades is this: Hillary does what Hillary wants....period. She will test Obama also to see where her boundaries are. Will he have the courage to put her in her place? Doubtful. He has a problem standing up to strong women...look at his wife. Michelle Obama might be more of an adversary for Hillary and I would pay to see that. Just when we got the White House sterilized and back in order...the Clinton's are going back. Unbelievable.

Ladies and Gentleman, children of all ages...what would a circus be without the clowns?

Congress (both houses), is going to be a real joy to behold and quite frankly C-SPAN might soon become the "must watch T.V" network. When you combine Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, Barney Frank and now Al Franken together in one place your bound to have some fun. I still can't believe that the American People were stupid enough to allow the very same people who were MOST responsible for the "so called financial crisis" to get re-elected so that they could continue to destroy the very foundations of this country. Sure there is enough blame to go around on the GOP side as well but when you examine the main perpetrators there is NO doubt that the Liberal, Leftists in Congress PLANNED for this to happen or at the very least stood by and did nothing while they knew what was coming. The End Game? Socialism. Pure and simple. They knew that the People would never vote for it but if they knew that if they could enact it incrementally we would wake up one day and no longer recognize this country as a Capitalist country. That day is now. Sadly, due to the leftist influence in our education systems in the public sector, many Americans could not tell you what Capitalism is if you asked them. How then could they be counted on to protest against it's decline? The answer is: they can't. Welcome to the present day in America. Capitalism is slowly dying while Socialism and soon Marxism/Communism will take it's place. America the Free? For how long?

As you can see, this is truly a sight to behold and I for one am bristling with anticipation to see the absolute freak show that our government will turn into. You see folks, your vote DOES count and elections DO have consequences. Get comfortable, get your popcorn and get ready to enjoy the show. After all, it's the GREATEST show on Earth! Right?

Enough is Enough!!!

Ok, this has gone on long enough. How high do gas prices need to go before we do something about it? Maybe the reason that the members of Congress seem to care so little about this is due to the fact that they DON'T DRIVE ANYMORE! When they are busy in D.C. destroying our government they are whisked around all over town by limousines. They don't care how much gas costs because as long as they are working in an official capacity the gas is paid for by the U.S. Government. In other words, WE pay for their gas. That's right. Not only do you have to worry about shelling out $80 or more weekly to keep your own cars on the road but you are also paying for them to gallivant all over the Metro D.C. area as well. I'm sick and tired of allowing these idiots to systematically destroy our country. I think that we should start a petition that REQUIRES them to pay for their own gas from now on regardless of the form of transportation they use. That is the only way they will begin to feel the same "pain at the pump" that we do.

The other thing that "We the People" need to DEMAND is that we begin to drill for oil NOW in ANWR. There is no reason why this can't be done and at the same time take care of the precious environment. As far as I'm concerned I could care less whether the caribou have a place to run in the open Alaskan countryside. I care about the environment just as much as anyone else but when it comes down to the comfort of the caribou or the comfort of my family...guess what? The caribou lose!! We purchased the Alaskan Territory in the first place with the idea that we could use it for it's natural resources. We have the capability to drill for and produce our own oil and Congress won't let us touch it because they are beholden to the environmental wackos out there. The same people that want to ban bonfires on the beach in Seattle because it "causes global warming". Are you kidding me? Are people really that stupid? How is it that Mars and Jupiter are heating up at precisely the same level of warmth that the Earth is if WE are the cause of global warming? Are there Martians burning fossil fuels up there also? Isn't it a more plausible explanation that it could be the current cycle of the Sun instead like MANY scientists believe it is? That would make more sense. However, nothing about this argument has anything to do with common sense. It's just plain fear mongering and liberalism that has gone out of control.

If we don't do something about this now we will all be living in a very different world 10 years from now. We will NOT be the most powerful country in the world but one of the weakest. We will not be the place where dreams can come true but the place where misery and regulation abound. We will be a third world nation that is in debt to other world powers and will be well on the way to becoming the property of one of them. We are at a crossroads in our history and we need to choose where we will be in the years ahead. One road leads back to American greatness and independence and one leads to enslavement and indebtedness. We must choose to break this trend downwards or momentum will swallow us in time. WE are the people that can do this. WE must do this for us and for our children and for the generations of Americans that will follow in our footsteps. Will we answer the alarm or will we hit the snooze button.? The choice is ours. Get involved!! Call your Senator's and your Congressional Representatives and tell then TO DRILL NOW!!! If we make this a big enough deal they will HAVE to listen because this is an election year and they hear better when that's the case. Don't think that someone else is going to do it because they won't. They will think just like you and think someone else will do it. The problem is we ALL think someone else will do it and the truth is that NOBODY is doing it. Do you care enough about this country to fight for it? If not you then who? If not now then when? Enough is enough people we need to take this country back...today!!!
