Gas prices to surge after Pelosi legislation - Get ready to pay more!
Liberals Say Drilling Is Not The Solution... That Drilling Will Not Bring Relief At The Pump For Ten Years… But Prices Started Coming Down Immediately When We Simply Started Talking About Drilling!
When President Bush urged Congress to lift the moratorium on domestic drilling just two months ago, oil was trading at approximately $145 per barrel.
The price of oil took a nose-dive that very day and has dropped to under $100 dollars per barrel. Take a look at the following graph from Americans for Prosperity, and the price of oil is even lower today.
And prices at the pump have dropped across the country as well.
Make no mistake, the drop in price can be attributed in large measure to market reaction over the possibility that the United States may actually increase domestic drilling.
In other words, merely "talking" about domestic drilling has given us relief at the pump -- without a drop of oil actually being brought to market!
The only question that remains is how low can the price of gasoline at the pump go in the foreseeable future if Congress gives us REAL ENERGY LEGISLATION?
Technically, Pelosi's bill does allow drilling, but simply put, Pelosi's "sham" only allows us to drill WHERE THERE ISN'T ANY OIL. In fact, it actually PROHIBITS US FROM DRILLING WHERE THERE IS OIL!
The Institute for Energy Research calls the Pelosi legislation a "bait and switch":
"According to news reports, the Speaker of the House has unveiled a new energy proposal. It’s described as a compromise that would lead to more offshore energy production. Based on the bill summary, however, the plan appears to be more of a 'bait and switch' that won’t do much of anything to bring new energy supplies to market for a long, long time."
The Institute for Energy Research also states:
"A permanent ban out to 50 miles locks-up the largest known offshore energy reserves, including those off the coast of California, that are close to existing infrastructure and [can] be produced the fastest." [Emphasis Mine]
But that's not all! The Institute for Energy Research also states:
"The plan permanently bans access to 97 percent of the 10.527 billion barrels off the coast of California. It allows the State to decide whether to produce just 3 percent, or 287 million barrels, which is highly unlikely anyway. The remainder…10.24 billion barrels…is off limits." [Emphasis Mine]
"Keeping the Eastern Gulf of Mexico off limits also denies access to large reserves located close to existing pipeline infrastructure. The plan keeps an estimated 3.65 [billion] barrels of oil and 22 trillion cubic feet of natural gas off limits. [Emphasis Mine]
"The offshore areas surrounding the State of Alaska are not currently subject to any bans. This plan appears to institute a 50-mile ban around energy-rich Alaskan shore for the first time ever . Energy exploration there is just beginning. [Emphasis Mine]
"While the plan enables the states to 'opt in' and produce energy between 50 and 100 miles, it lacks a revenue sharing mechanism, thereby making it highly unlikely that state would chose to do so... Denying the states this incentive effectively prevents new production." [Emphasis Mine]
The American people are not fooled and REFUSE to be held hostage by "sham legislation." The American people know that this Pelosi "sham" will only PROHIBIT domestic drilling and raise taxes on average Americans!
Tell them that the American people are not fooled and REFUSE to be held hostage by "sham legislation." The American people know that this Pelosi "sham" will only PROHIBIT domestic drilling and raise taxes on average Americans!
Tell them that "drill here and drill now" means just that. The American people expect them to stand firm AGAINST "smoke and mirror" legislative plans and to get busy passing REAL energy legislation that will lower the price of gasoline at the pump and decrease our dependence on foreign oil!

Crash of 2008 likely to mark the end of an era
The Crash of 2008, which is now wiping out trillions of dollars of our people's wealth, is, like the Crash of 1929, likely to mark the end of one era and the onset of another.
The new era will see a more sober and much diminished America. The "Omnipower" and "Indispensable Nation" we heard about in all the hubris and braggadocio following our Cold War victory is history.
Seizing on the crisis, the left says we are witnessing the failure of market economics, a failure of conservatism.
This is nonsense. What we are witnessing is the collapse of Gordon Gecko ("Greed Is Good!") capitalism. What we are witnessing is what happens to a prodigal nation that ignores history, and forgets and abandons the philosophy and principles that made it great. The Crash of 2008, which is now wiping out trillions of dollars of our people's wealth, is, like the Crash of 1929, likely to mar... more -
Secret group in the Obama-Biden campaign
There is a secret group in the Obama-Biden campaign tasked with shutting off any leaks from the record that links Barack Obama to his longtime adviser and mentor Bill Ayers, professor of education at the University of Illinois and unrepentant Weatherman terrorist and fugitive from the 1970s.
This surprising fact has been developed by Chicago-born and Ralph Nader-supporting Professor Steve Diamond of Santa Clara University Law School, who maintains the Global Labor and Politics blog and has pieced together over many months the unusual surreptitious activity around the public records of the Chicago Annenberg Challenge (CAC) grant now housed at the University of Illinois and Brown University.
Since the spring, Diamond has led the investigation into the intimate working relationship between Obama and Ayers that dates back at least to the beginning of 1995 and the Chicago Annenberg Challenge Grants.
Diamond believes this group is not harmless. "It's a 'Plumbers' unit.
The "Plumbers" were a Nixon administration fiasco, the so-called secret White House Special Investigative Unit 24 tasked to stop the leaks of classified material. Once revealed, the Plumbers unit led to more bizarre discoveries that culminated in the Watergate impeachment and resignation of Richard Nixon in 1974.
Diamond believes this Obama-Biden "Plumbers" unit was responsible for the harassment of Stanley Kurtz of National Review, who sought access to public records of the now defunct CAC at the University of Illinois Library in Chicago in mid-August. He also believes it may have played a part in frustrating his own investigation of similar CAC records in the papers of the nationwide Annenberg Challenge program that are housed at Brown University. The question now is who among the major figures in the Chicago progressive circle, as well as former Annenberg Challenge officials, are unofficial members of Obama's Plumbers? And who among other responsible officials of the University of Illinois are their unwitting allies?
There is a substantial independent report from a major Democratic source that confirms Diamond's suspicions. The source confirms the unit is led by Bill Ayers himself and likely includes Tom Hayden and other members of "Progressives for Obama." Most critically, the Democratic source says this unit has direct access to media adviser David Axelrod of the Obama-Biden campaign. There is a secret group in the Obama-Biden campaign tasked with shutting off any leaks from the record that links Barack Obama to his ... more -
Klaus: no difference between the ideology of communism and that of global warming
I found this interesting and something that people might have words to say about.
For most people, being the president of a country would be enough to keep one busy, but not so for Vaclav Klaus of the Czech Republic. He directs as much time and energy as he possibly can to campaigning against those he characterizes as global warming alarmists. That is why Klaus was delighted when a major Czech daily newspaper ran the complete text of a speech he gave last week -- in Tokyo -- to the The Mont Pelerin Society, a prestigious international economics organization of which he is a member. Klaus, who has been President of the Czech Republic since 1993, holds a doctorate in economics.
Klaus’s concern about the totalitarian agenda of environmentalists. He sees no difference between the ideology of communism and that of climate change. He says he is no longer simply concerned about the consequences of politicians using global warming to gain and wield power over ordinary citizens. Klaus describes himself now as “angry.” He agrees with author Michael Crichton. “The greatest challenge facing mankind is distinguishing between reality and fantasy, truth from propaganda” as regards global warming.
“I am frustrated by the fact that many people, including some leading politicians who privately express similar views to my own, are publicly silent,” Klaus began. He believes the global warming issue “is not being debated in a rational way, but is being thrust into the public consciousness as one-sided propaganda.” He invokes the term “silent majority” to describe rationally thinking people who do not speak out against global warming propagandists.
Klaus believes that the goal of climate change alarmists is nothing less than a continuation of the socialist model of the centralization of economic control. “They invoke the image of apocalyptic imminent danger in order to trigger the need in others to have a savior -- a messiah,” Klaus contends. Then he adds: “The constraints of political correctness are tougher than ever. They are being enforced and only one permitted truth is -- yet again -- imposed on us. Everything else is being denounced.”
Klaus contends that global warming has also become “a false identity for the failed United Nations which seeks power over governments and the citizens of the world.” Although he concedes that environmentalism evolved from humble and legitimate origins, Klaus calls Al Gore’s claim -- that Earth is headed toward ”a planetary emergency” -- absurd. He labels it as “scaremongering.” “What is being attempted now (by the environmentalist movement) is a form of human behavioral modification, not for purposes of improvement, but for political power.”
“Environmentalism has become a quasi-religion,” Klaus asserts. “It is an ideology that shares much in common with Marxism. Climate change is the new recruiting strategy for the anti-capitalist, socialist, communist army. They are both monolithic belief systems designed to suppress human freedom.” I found this interesting and something that people might have words to say about. ... more -
Obama camp concentrates on falsely deconstructing Palin so as to restore order to ...
John McCain’s pick of the young outsider Sarah Palin as his running mate has proven to be one of the most successful gambles in modern politics. It has brought tremendous energy to McCain’s campaign and millions of voters instinctively identify with Palin and her family-oriented, working class roots. Palin seems a wonderful return to the days of Harry Truman or even Andrew Jackson, when America’s anti-elitist electorate picked rough-hewn, plainspoken leaders from out of their own ranks and sent them to Washington to raise hell.
The pick makes believable McCain’s pledge to bring real change to Washington, and it has thus severely blunted the shallow appeal of philosophical featherweight Barack Obama -- who had little to offer America other than a lyrical mantra of unspecified change.
The recruitment of Palin by McCain was made particularly effective by it’s juxtaposition with Obama’s self-inflicted wound, Joe Biden (now he’s not just a client of the hair club for men, he’s also it’s vice president). In his first opportunity to establish change through his proto-administration, Obama went straight to the standard queue of ossified Washington insiders that he so needs to quickly make the most of his surprise appearance at the head of the ticket. This is the paradoxical price of choosing a neophyte as nominee -- without a nationwide organization of his own, Obama is especially beholden to his party’s machine. A babe in the woods needs help. Obama also cannot surround himself with inexperienced newcomers, lest he look like just one more.
McCain, by contrast, has experience and his own established reputation and networks. He doesn’t need to recruit gravitas. He can recruit fresh partners instead.
The initiative clearly rests with McCain, who has taken a lead in the polls, and sent Obama looking for a clue as to how to respond.
So now what? I believe that McCain should leverage his advantage before the Obama campaign and its marketing departments (CNN, MSNBC, CBS, ABC, NPR, the NY Times etc.) can regain their lost footing and work on falsely deconstructing Palin so as to restore order to their universe. McCain can do this by promising that Palin is just the first of an army of fresh, energetic party outsiders that he will appoint, if sent to Washington.
His message should be clear: Washington is a human swamp that must be drained and filled with clean new people, unbeholden to its back rooms, party lines, lobbyists, and incestuous press/advocate monolith. These picks should have a basically conservative slant, but since a cabinet is a committee and McCain wants to build a new coalition, there is room for different flavors of outsiders in addition to conservatives.
Joe Lieberman is an obvious non-conservative pick who should be explicitly mentioned, especially in Florida. Lieberman has been ostracized and exiled by the extremist liberal orthodoxy of the Democrat Party and thus owes the party nothing, despite still have quite an appeal with much of its rank and file members. As long as he is kept well away from domestic social issues, he is acceptable to most right of center McCain supporters on issues of foreign policy.
Most importantly, McCain should make his campaign and administration a rallying point for talented outsiders simply because change cannot have just one face, it must have many. This is a obvious truth in a nation of 300 million people -- and it’s one that Obama, in selling himself as the one-man messiah of change, hasn’t got a clue on.
McCain should paint Obama as the naïve new front man of the same tired liberalism and promise that, if elected, he will unleash a swarm of anti-establishment outsiders upon Washington’s vested interests. Obama has nothing to offer but change, and with that argument taken away, Obama has nothing to offer.

Americans Celebrate!!! Energy Freedom on Oct.1'st.
Dawn of Energy Independence?
by Rep. Jeb Hensarling and Sen. Jim DeMint
09/18/2008
In just two weeks, on Oct. 1, Americans could be celebrating American Energy Freedom Day. That's the day the bans on oil shale and offshore drilling for oil and natural gas in America will expire.
Right off American shores there are reserves estimated to hold over 20 billion barrels of oil and 97 trillion cubic feet of natural gas. And in the west, oil shale is estimated to be between 800 billion and 2 trillion barrels of oil -- that is more than three times the proven oil reserves in Saudi Arabia alone.
So-called "compromise" legislation being considered in Congress would increase energy taxes and only open up a fraction of these vast reserves, while permanently banning nearly 80% of our energy resources offshore. It would be irrational in a national energy crisis to create any new ban on American energy, and that's why the best solution is for Congress to allow the current bans to expire on Oct. 1.
Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, and the Democrats love to preach that drilling will not solve all of America's energy problems. No kidding -- we all know that. Yet while drilling alone obviously won't solve every problem, tapping these important sources of American energy is desperately needed to lower gas prices and reduce our nation's dependence on foreign oil.
For more than 20 years, Democrats have blocked access to this American energy by including a ban on offshore drilling and oil shale into the yearly appropriations bills passed by Congress (or by including them in 'Continuing Resolutions' that keep the government functioning until appropriations bills are passed). Leave it to the liberal mind to find a way to revert back to the failed policies of Jimmy Carter during an energy crisis. We realize that this 1970's anti-energy mentality is tired, wrongheaded and simply out of gas -- no pun intended.
But here's the good news -- if Congress simply does nothing, then on Oct. 1 Americans will be free to pursue vast amounts of our own energy. That's right -- once the current bans expire, we can finally be on our way to developing energy in America for Americans. We say it's time for Congress to get out of the way.
Increasing our nation's own oil and gas supply is critical to our energy security, but we must also give Americans the freedom to pursue other sources of American energy. For months, we've made clear that we need conservation, but not just conservation. We need renewable energy, but not just renewable. We need alternatives, but not just alternatives. We need to produce more energy of all types in America so we can drive down the cost of gas and increase our energy independence.
As we pursue these alternative and renewable energies, the only way to help ease the pain at the pump TODAY is to begin to meet the ever-increasing demand for energy. It is commonsense policy to drill here and to drill now so we can keep our nation strong and secure.
It seems likely that Democrats, beholden to the radical left, will try to stop American Energy Freedom Day by sneaking a new drilling ban in a spending bill that Congress MUST pass to keep the government functioning before the current ban expires on the last day of September.
How reckless will Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid be? We've seen press reports in which they are so adamant about enacting a new bans on oil shale and offshore drilling that they have started to talk about a government shutdown. Rather than help lower the cost of gas and home energy for struggling American families, they remain beholden to left-wing environmentalists. This is a battle we shouldn't have to face, but one that we cannot shy away from. Dawn of Energy Independence? by Rep. Jeb Hensarling and Sen. Jim DeMint 09/18/2008 ... more -
Cosmic rays and Earth's climate
I watched a program sited on Current.com called the "Global Warming Swindle" The one hour program seemed convincing yet the reader comments universally labeled it as Big Oil propaganda and I was mad that I had been duped.
Well today I have looked into the question of global warming and seemingly discovered that Gore may have vastly oversimplified the process of global warming and that those who contend that man's contribution to global warming is much much smaller than we have been told are perhaps more correct than Gore's polemic.
I have listed several links to sites that independently discuss what seems to be a complex set of circumstances that contribute to global warming/cooling.
The above link discusses the role of cosmic rays on cloud formation which in turn affects the amount of atmospheric reflectivity which in turn contributes to global warming. The other links discuss other aspects of global warming. There is a lot of reading but I am having a mind-blowing experience learning and beginning to understand that perhaps we are powerless to alter the course of global changes.

Gore ends fossil fuels for electricity by 2018
The former vice-president credited with rejuvenating America's environmental movement today issued a challenge to its people: End the use of fossil fuels for electricity within 10 years.
Al Gore's call to end the burning of carbon for power, delivered before an adoring audience in Washington, was clearly aimed at vaulting renewable energy to the top of the presidential candidates' agenda.
"Our dangerous reliance on carbon-based fuels is at the core of all these problems – economic, environmental, national security," Gore said. "The answer is to end our reliance on carbon-based fuels."
The Nobel prizewinner likened his clean power challenge to John F Kennedy's 1961 vow to put a man on the moon within 10 years. The young president was mocked at the time, Gore observed, but the US achieved its spacewalk eight years later.
Gore also delivered a withering jab at Republicans and Democrats alike for debating whether to expand coastal oil drilling rather than how to diminish the country's unsustainable reliance on oil. The US Congress is opening debate this week on expanding domestic oil leases.
"Even those who reap the profits of the carbon age have to recognise the inevitability of its demise," Gore said, repeating former Saudi oil minister Sheikh Yamani's famous quip: "The Stone Age didn't end because of a shortage of stones."
Despite winning the popular vote against George Bush in the 2000 presidential election, Gore has displayed no interest in returning to politics. His speech today was sponsored by the Alliance for Climate Protection, a non-profit group that serves as a home base for his environmental advocacy.
He shied away from specifics during the speech, not mentioning the trillion-dollar price tag of ending carbon-based electricity. Instead, Gore urged the US to institute a carbon tax that could be offset by reducing the payroll tax on employers.
"We should tax what we burn, not what we earn," he said.
Underpinning Gore's remarks, however, was a finely tuned sense of the economic anxiety that dominates American life 13 weeks before the next presidential election. He observed that the environmental, fiscal, and national-security dangers facing the country would be eliminated by a conversion to clean energy.
"We're borrowing money from China to buy oil from the Persian Gulf to burn it in ways that destroy the planet," Gore said to wild applause. "Every bit of that has got to change."
John McCain and Barack Obama - whom Gore has endorsed for president - were not mentioned by name. But Gore did give kudos to Bob Barr, the former Republican congressman running for president on the Libertarian party ticket, who attended the speech.
Though Obama was not in the audience, he released a statement hailing Gore's reminder that "we cannot drill our way to energy independence, but must fast-track investments in renewable sources of energy like solar power, wind power and advanced biofuels".
"Those are the investments I will make as president," Obama added. "It's a strategy that will create millions of new jobs that pay well and cannot be outsourced, and one that will leave our children a world that is cleaner and safer." The former vice-president credited with rejuvenating America's environmental movement today issued a challenge to its people: End... more -
Gore calls for carbon-free electric power
Former Vice President Al Gore said on Thursday that Americans must abandon electricity generated by fossil fuels within a decade and rely on the sun, the winds and other environmentally friendly sources of power, or risk losing their national security as well as their creature comforts.
“The survival of the United States of America as we know it is at risk,” Mr. Gore said in a speech to an energy conference here. “The future of human civilization is at stake.”
Mr. Gore called for the kind of concerted national effort that enabled Americans to walk on the moon 39 years ago this month, just eight years after President John F. Kennedy famously embraced that goal. He said the goal of producing all of the nation’s electricity from “renewable energy and truly clean, carbon-free sources” within 10 years is not some farfetched vision, although he said it would require fundamental changes in political thinking and personal expectations.
“This goal is achievable, affordable and transformative,” Mr. Gore said in his remarks at the conference. “It represents a challenge to all Americans, in every walk of life — to our political leaders, entrepreneurs, innovators, engineers, and to every citizen.”

Bill Clinton losing it again
MILBANK, S.D. -- Former President Bill Clinton today unleashed a salty stream of epithets to describe former New York Times reporter and current Vanity Fair writer Todd Purdum, calling him "sleazy," "dishonest," "slimy" and a "scumbag."
****************************************************************************
There's one thing I've noticed watching both Gore and Clinton over the years.
Gore can show anger in public over things that affect other people, like Bush's war, his refusal to do anything about GHG emission or Abu Ghraib. At the same time I've never seen him out of control over something that was done to him even while he would have had plenty of reasons to trash the media after their "amazing" performance in 2000.
But Bill Clinton loses it only when it's about him. I've never seen him behave like this when it was about some kind of policy. Only when he was the target.

Open Letter to George Bush
Dear Mr. President,
WHAT THE MF'IN HELL DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING???
Seriously, what the F is wrong with you?
Why do you even want to pretend t be president? It makes no sense. It almost looks like a hassle for you.
AND YOU DON'T DO ANYTHING!!!
Katrina-ing the oil situation would be the worst of it, too, if you can get past the murders of tens of thousands of innocent people due to this insane invasion of Iraq. Then, there's the actual Katrina disgrace and all the other little murders you commit every day.
But again, the part that is so difficult to understand is the stealing of the presidency in 2000. All that effort to subvert the actual vote and will of the people. FOR WHAT?
FOR WHAT? So that everything is ridiculous for the people who actually have to live ON THIS PLANET. Of course, you get to live in Fantasyland.
The oil companies are traitors to this country. They should be nationalized. This stuff where the chairman of ExxonMobil during congressional hearings this week has the absolute temerity to suggest that the company should keep billions of dollars in tax breaks while making a $40 Billion annual profit is a war crime against the people of this nation and the world. And he smiled when he said they should continue to get tax breaks because they "reinvest" their profits in exploration.
Disgusting.
Equally disgusting that the entire situation is caused by inaction, incompetence, and perhaps greed by you, George Bush, and whomever is u there with you. Or maybe Dick Cheney. We really don't know. Funny, not-ha-ha, isn't it that you try to get agencies to spy on everyone (and ask agencies to torture and otherwise break the actual law and moral codes) YET OTHERWISE KEEP EVERYTHING YOU DO SECRET AS well as incomprehensible.
Gasoline at more than $4 a gallon is a breaking point. People need to get together and do something about the situation.
Thanks for nothing Mr. Irrelevant. Thanks for stealing the election for no reason, apparently (although some suggest financial gain or "power tripping" may be reasons, we won't know until historians unravel this crap) and FOR RUINING WHAT WOULD HAVE BEEN A GOLDEN AGE IN THE WORLD.
Al Gore or John Kerry would never have invaded Iraq, authorized torturing people, secret surveillance; they would have caught Bin Laden, and the economy wouldn't be killing everybody, except you and yours.
So, Go F yourself, thanks for nothing and hey, why waste everybody's time, resign or something.
Sincerely,
Dan Weisman

Al Gore the Environmental Apostle
Like an apostle regarding the environment, Al Gore has preached his sermons and relayed his stories to the hearts and minds of the greatest nation and the world. Of course, saying America is the greatest nation is figuratively speaking. Only great people would want to change to become even greater. I am referring to the great people that support Al Gore in his mission to make the world's people aware of self created atrocities. I am an American but I am not as proud as I once was. America has created a shameful face these past eight years and I know I need not go into detail; but now it is getting harder to say it is the "greatest". While we bask in our sovereign nation, the whole world suffers from what we reap, and consequently we suffer as well; economically and health. We must remember we are only 200 years old; therefore we are still children in this vast world of nations. In much the same way, we act like children. We do things that affect others, yet we cannot understand the consequences because we have yet to learn anything about what overall outcome may be. Our CO2 pollution makes up 45% of the world's CO2 pollution. For those who disagree that CO2 is the basis upon which global warming is being caused, I say lets drastically decrease our percentage created and see what the affects are. We cannot continue to do things and expect no reactions. We as a world power should lead others. Instead, we are slow to react to many things and are following instead. This is not because the people don't want to change. The people of a nation only know what the people in power let them know....whether the power is media, politicians, or other. I truly believe that with Al Gore in office as President of the United States of America, our nation will once again rise and become its former glorious self. It takes a person of integrity and perseverance to get us there. That is why I plea with Al Gore to take his position at the podium of our nation and the world stage. I have signed the "draftgore" petition and done things to promote him but ultimately it is up to him to come forth. He has said he has fallen out of love with politics, but that is not true. If that were the case, he would not be going around the world like a diplomat teaching other world leaders how to stop this crisis we are in and preserve what has been given to them; nature. He loves politics dearly because he cares about people. He knows many changes need to be made in many places regarding politics. We all know it will take time but I am sure that if he were to run for president, he will be given a full eight years to do his best as his people are here watching and following his creative and outstanding leadership. I know he still has it in him and I have do doubts that he will be a perfect leader. He does not avoid issues....in fact he encourages them. He does not back down like Clinton, he hits the issues hard and puts passion in what he says. He cannot be out of politics because he things like a politician, moves like a politician, and speaks like a politician (one with the right morals). It is his life whether he tries to ignore or deny it. It is who Al Gore is. Now he has become a humanitarian and I believe the world loves him for that. I just wish, hope, and pray he will listen to his heart. Only he knows what happened to his heart, but we all can see it has gotten bigger and stronger Like an apostle regarding the environment, Al Gore has preached his sermons and relayed his stories to the hearts and minds of the gre... more
