x-no-archive: yes

their weeping and howling about $4 gas are unseemly.

they clearly expect the world to let them burn 25%% of its energy
forever.

those days have ended. wake up, amerikkka! you will be burning trash
and running your thermostats at 60 degrees in the winter. and you
deserve to freeze, after your decades of energy waste and genocidal
crimes committed in the name of cheap oil. i spit on you, amerikkka.

  Oil drilling question looms as election issue

Much to the chagrin of the dems. Not that McCain is smart enough to exploit
this obvious weakness in the Barack party line.

Oil drilling question looms as election issue
Zachary Coile, Chronicle Washington Bureau

Monday, June 23, 2008

(06-23) 04:00 PDT Washington --

There's a reason Republican Sen. John McCain, President Bush and even
Republican Gov. Charlie Crist of Florida all abruptly endorsed plans to
expand offshore drilling last week - and it's not just $4-a-gallon gasoline.

In an election year when Republicans are bracing to lose seats in Congress
and major issues from Iraq to the economy appear to favor the Democrats, the
GOP is betting that an aggressive push to drill for new domestic energy will
be their ticket to success in November.

"Energy is actually a huge opportunity for Republicans," said Sen. John
Ensign, R-Nev., who chairs the Senate Republicans' re-election campaign.
"Energy has the opportunity to change the climate if it's done right."

  Pappy's Hero has been very consistent on Iraq - so says CNN         


Author: janet_reno_jr

And now he's not a flip-flopper. CNN reported it so it MUST be true.

http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/07/05/campaign.wrap/index.html

"I am surprised at how ... the press ... I'm not trying to dump on you
guys, but I'm surprised at how finely calibrated every single word was
measured," Obama said.

"I wasn't saying anything that I hadn't said before. That I didn't say
a year ago. Or when I was a U.S. senator. If you look at our position,
it's been very consistent. The notion that we have to get out
carefully has been a consistent position," he said.

"The belief that we have a national security interest in making sure
Iraq is secure, I've been saying consistently," he added. Noting "the
worst-case scenarios and the parade of horribles that has been trotted
out by [Sen.] John McCain and others about genocide if we left," he
said he has always reserved "the right to protect people from
genocide."

  What Constitutes American Interests Abroad?

What Constitutes American Interests Abroad?

© 2008, The Institute for Applied Common Sense

For years, all of us have heard discussions about protecting American
interests abroad. We spend a significant amount of our tax dollars in
foreign aid, and in connection with various military operations.
Earlier this week, we learned that we are supplying North Korea with
fuel oil as part of an agreement in connection with its relinquishment
of certain aspects of its nuclear program. It also appears that we
have been providing North Korea with food for some time now.

We obviously had some concerns about its potential use of nuclear
power, and the possible sale of nuclear weapons or enriched plutonium
to others. However, have you ever really taken the time to think
about what constitutes American interests? Can those interests be
generically described as anything that keeps America strong and safe,
and perpetuates our position as the dominant superpower? What limits
exist, if any, on the exercise of our power in terms of our
involvement with other countries?

  What Views Would the Members of a Truly Independent American Political Party Hold?         


Author: The Logistician
Date: Jul 3, 2008 11:55

© 2008, The Institute for Applied Common Sense

The following is a partial list of the views, controversial though
some may be, of a particular, well-educated, middle-class American
citizen:

1. Men and women who choose to have heterosexual sex make a “choiceâ€
when they do so, and society should not interfere or be responsible in
any way for what happens to them following pregnancy. The fathers and
mothers should negotiate all further responsibility or lack thereof.

2. All citizens of the United States should be required to serve a
minimum term, in a combat role, in our armed forces to defend the
interests of America, but only on a domestic basis, and not outside of
our country and her possessions.

Among other info: "Does the U.S. export oil? Surprisingly, yes - but the
amount is trivial, about 20,000 barrels per day vs. our 10,000,000 and more
b/d imports. All exported crude goes to Canada, where it is likely refined
and sent back as gasoline"

  Rush RULES ! ! ! $400m contract - shatters records.

Free Enterprise at its best - Rush gets huge reward for Operation
Chaos.

http://drudgereport.com/flashrl.htm - LIMBAUGH SIGNS THROUGH 2016;
$400 MILLION DEAL SHATTERS BROADCAST RECORDS - Wed Jul 02 2008
09:02:18 ET

The American broadcast industry is rocked, realigned and blasted into
a new orbit, yet again, by Rush Limbaugh, the DRUDGE REPORT has
learned.

In what is being described as an unprecedented radio contract,
Limbaugh will keep his syndicated show on-the-air and e-v-e-r-y-w-h-e-
r-e through 2016 with CLEAR CHANNEL and PREMIERE RADIO.

Already host of the most lucrative hours since radio's inception,
Limbaugh's total package is valued north of $400 million, according to
media insiders.

The NEW YORK TIMES will claim this weekend that Limbaugh, marking 20
years this summer as a national host, has secured a 9-figure signing
bonus for the new deal, newsroom sources tell DRUDGE.

In its controversial profile, the TIMES reports that Limbaugh is
buying a new G550 jet and is making an estimated $38 million a year.
