The sad truth is at least half of Congress is anti-American. Think about it. We have oil reserves, coal reserves, gas reserves and nuclear technology. Half of Congress won't allow any of this to be touched. China, India and Cuba are drilling for oil off our coastline, slant drilling at that. Where are the environmentalists now? Then there is the dollar being devalued, making it possible to sell more goods overseas. Sure, it helps with the deficit, but at what cost?
Oh and let's not forget ethanol. We are burning our food supply. Farmers are growing corn for fuel, not for human consumption. The whole world is effected by this blunder. We all know it, but the charade continues.
This is truly a crises by anyone's definition. This Congress is letting us down. There is no leadership from the White House, or anywhere else. The prospects of Obama and McCain are frightening.
When I was growing up there was Communism to contend with. We kept a watchful eye out for signs of it. Today it's the environmentalist we have to watch out for. And guess what -- Congress is loaded with them. The best money can buy.
Then there are the socialists in Congress. Another can of worms. Transfer of wealth is their mantra. Maxine Waters threatened to nationalize the oil industry. These are not the people who we should be trusting. They've proven their intentions, their disdain for the American way of life. We should be more like the Europeans they say.
Do I have to mention global warming? What a sham. You do know you can buy carbon offsets from Al Gore's company, right? I'll give you a better deal, call me. There has been no increase in the Earth's temperature in the last 10 years. The Earth is dynamic not static. Oh, and Barbra Boxer doesn't want to leave a sweltering world to our grand children!
We are leaders not followers. Congress has lost site of that fact. Which brings me to the new world order crowd. It all fits in, recking our economy, being subservient to the United Nations, weakening our currency, and guess what? We will be taken over without a shot fired.
