Energy

Thank God for the Tea Party. It seems that the Tea Party must wield some power, it hasn't lost very many races it's been interested in. This gives me hope that the American spirit hasn't been defeated yet, just silenced for a while. Americans, I'm thinking, will eventually get it right and hopefully it will not be after it's too late to do any good.

It's interesting to see Obama's reaction to this oil spill. While I'm not in any way,shape, or form a supporter of BO I still don't think it's fair to pin this disaster on him. I know the lib's had a fine old time bashing Bush 43 over the Katrina aftermath and that wasn't fair either. However, this moratorium on offshore drilling could well be a huge disaster for BO and he better be really careful here.

Many times I wonder what it is that passes through the minds(if they actually have one) of these environmentalist wackos. If you have the misfortune to ever have to talk to one of these folks you might try asking them what it is they want the people to do for fuel. I've listened to Al Gore and BO and all the freaking weirdos these last several years and all they can talk about is clean energy. Can any of you tell me what clean energy is? I haven't heard one of these loons mention even one way to get clean energy, yet that's what they keep saying they want. They are against nuclear power, wood burning, coal, oil, and any other energy we have now. Not one of them can offer any solutions to the problem of our energy other than to say they don't like what we use now. At some point these folks need to inform the public of their plans and share them with the rest of us.

You all know I have an opinion on almost anything, so here we go again. I think the problem our environmentalist wackos have is the lack of motivation. Right now, it's convenient for them to speak in platitudes while they "jet" around the world and make their pretty flowery speeches. Meanwhile the unwashed masses, who are products of our public school system, actually believe that there is a shortage of oil and that the products of that oil are the reason we have this fictitious global warming catastrophe looming over us. Of course any of us with any sense knows that this is all a bunch of BS but there are lots of people who are too stupid to be reasonable so they buy into what the mass liberal media/public schools puts out. It's easy to be an environmentalist when you are surrounded by all the comforts that oil provides for you. Heck, I'm sitting in my house right now with the air turned down to 73 degrees and am very comfortable. If all of the sudden there was no more power or not enough of it, which by the way is produced by fossil fuels of some sort, I might become unhappy with my lot in life. I figure most of the "mother earth" crowd will get a clue if they all of the sudden have to start living without the conveniences that electricity provides for all of us. Just a thought here, but I bet I'm right.

Meanwhile, we have the Tea Party growing in strength every day and maybe it will make a difference. If the Tea Party and it's growing masses of adherents will keep the faith and keep holding our politicians feet to the fire we might actually come out of this situation before our energy detractors bankrupt the nation. I sure would hate to have to live in a straw hut and in an agrarian society. I love my electricity and will do what I can to keep it.
