COMMENTARY: Fueling a furor

Congressmen like Durbin, Kennedy and Murtha seem to be good at one thing, hubris. The problem is that once you strip away the arrogance, there is nothing behind it. Just look at their major legislative records. The immigration and biofuels debacles. Where was congressional oversight on the housing fiasco? Yet they blame the oil companies for accomodating congressional legislation and still surviving? We need a younger smarter group of congressional representatives who can deal with complexity outside of the good ole boys network.

It troubles me when I think about what Durbin and his friends have done to us and still want to do to us. Not just on the oil issue either.

I sent the commentary and these comments to NC Senators Burr and Dole/Congressman Jones and President Bush: For years the green lobbies have worked to hamstring us domestically in the hopes that fossil fuel costs would soar too high to afford and we'd be forced to change to green alternatives. The problem is, they never found (or it seems made enough concerted effort to find) any commercially viable options for a large scale changeover that didn't require substantial federal subsidies. So now we have artificially driven oil prices and nothing in the chute to jump to, thanks to our chosen representatives to Washington. Every elected member of our federal government should be forced to read and respond to this Washington Times commentary.

The lady is so right, and our socialist party members, aka the democrats, are as wrong as they can be. But they aren't stupid. They know the only way they are going to be able to convert this country into a third world socialist entity is to create a crisis, and what better way to do that than by destroying the US' ability to compete in the world's markets by driving up the price of energy as quickly and as far as possible. Not only do you get to impoverish millions of people, but you pretty much assure the collapse of the country's currency, making a socialist political takeover that much easier. In the late 30's Stalin 'commissioned' a study as to the best way to defeat the United States, thus opening the door to world socialism. The study suggested brain washing by taking over the schools (Done!), and also taking two key steps by which to destroy the economic advantage this country had with its advanced technology, which was combined with low (at that time) wages and energy costs (The left wing unions took care of raising personnel costs and now the left wing political majority in the Congress is doing its part to wreck the energy part of the equation.). The school system's amazing success, virtually without objection, in dumbing down the population to moron level, or below, has pretty much assured that the suggestions of the study were correct, as voters now mostly vote as they are told, being unable to think beyond their greedy grasping immediate needs, which they dutifully demand be provided to them by the rapidly evolving socialist 'State of America'. Stalin would be pleased. The rest of us may not be.
