CARBON FOOTPRINTS IN THE SAND


16 years ago the Republican controlled Congress and Senate passed a bill, which contained a provision for opening up the huge oil deposits of ANWR in northern Alaska. An American resource! The bill was vetoed by Bill, or Slick Willie or what ever the hell you want to call that reprobate who turned the Oval Office into the Oral Orifice back in the 90’s.
His response was, we wouldn’t get any oil out of there for 10 years anyway.
Hey dumbass! 2011 minus 1995 equals 16 years!!!! Do the math shit head!

Now we have another dullard in office saying the same damn thing. Obama and the other left-wingers are also stopping us from getting to the massive deposits in the Bakken Formation in North Dakota and the other oil fields in the Gulf.
They also make sure to regulate to death any new oil refineries in our nation.
He is determined to keep Americans beholden to other less-than-reliable countries for our energy needs.
Oh yeah, there is that other thing, the so called “carbon footprint”, we have to keep that thing as small as possible.
As you all probably know, Obama was just down in Brazil promoting the Brazilian government’s oil exploration and offered American taxpayer money to help and promised America would love to be their biggest customer. Huh? Really? So it’s a bad thing for Americans to drill for oil, but when it comes to another county, you say, “drill baby drill”?
No shit? You’re really going with that?
Ok, what is so damn special about their oil that it doesn’t produce a big carbon footprint?

Let me read between the lines Mr. Obama.
You don’t give a shit about American jobs.
You don’t give a shit about American economic recovery.
You don’t give a shit about American security.
You don’t even give a shit about American carbon footprint.
You just plain don’t give a shit do you?

Well, perhaps I’m being too critical, I don’t want to say you’re completely ambivalent about everything.




I guess you do give a shit about something

And (plagerizing Zo from PJTV) just declaring you will open drilling to places in America instantly drops the price of oil throughout the world.

Doesn't matter that it might take 10 years, oil is power. The price is driven not by supply and demand, but the PERCEPTION of price and demand. Once the oil producing nations BELIEVE you might be making headway toward becoming energy independent, they drop the price.

Drill Baby Drill. And HERE!

If we stopped forcing the oil industry to only do deep drilling in the ocean rather than a more easily contained land, there would be much less environmental impact since it would be easier to stop.

funny how the powers that be want us to all live in caves to "save the planet", but they want to live in warehouse sized houses and fly around the world on their private jets.

The Heritage Foundation recently published a piece on the job loss due to the drilling moratorium in the gulf...

19,000 jobs and over a Billion dollars in wages.

Neither of which this country could use.

That's sarcasm, btw.

we could get all of our energy needs from this side of the planet if we were allowed to use our own resources, with what we get from Canada and Central and South America, we would have no need to kiss the Middle Eastern asses
