An Inconvenient Fact: Liberals to Blame for U.S. Dependence on Foreign Oil
Authored by John W. Lillpop
America’s inability to free itself from dependence on oil from the Middle East may go down as one of the greatest failures in U.S. political history. Even the most generous historian will find it difficult to justify our continued reliance on a region of the world that has been in constant turmoil for more than 50 years.
Given the political instability in the Middle East and the skyrocketing costs of oil, U.S. leaders should be working around the clock to make America truly energy independent.
Unfortunately, the Democrat Party is adamantly opposed to any measures that would increase the supply of this precious commodity.
Why is that the case?
Because environmental elitists like Al Gore have decided that average Americans should not drive automobiles. In Gore’s warped vision, the unwashed masses can damn well walk, skateboard, bike, hike, or preferably, not navigate at all. Except when headed to the polls to vote for Democrats, of course.
Mind you, “Limousine Liberals” like Gore, the Clintons, John Kerry, et al. will always have their SUVs, stretch limousines, private jets, and the like. It’s elitist, liberal arrogance gone mad!
In advancing their no-combustion engine agenda, liberals obviously exacerbate the energy crisis by toiling 24/7 to do the following:
* Obstruct all oil drilling
* Obstruct added refinery capacity via extreme environmental regulations
* Obstruct nuclear energy and other reasonable alternative energy sources
* Tax “windfall profits,” and implement other anti-business steps that stifle efforts to increase oil supply
What about the demand side? Liberals are just as mindless there, by opting to add federal and state taxes to the cost of gasoline at every opportunity.
Clearly, “gas pains” are the product of liberalism run amok. So, the question voters will have to answer this November is:
Are you ready to wait in long lines just to pay $5 for a gallon of gasoline? If so, vote for ‘’obstruct and tax’’ Democrats!
