One evening, I was watching the news when a environmentalist came on the program, when asked it she was willing to drill in Alaska at ANWR she said NO, when asked if she would be willing to drill in the North Dakota and Montana region she said NO, when asked if she was willing to drill in off shore in California and in Caribbean, she said NO, when asked if she was willing to build nuclear plants, she said NO.
I sat their staring at the television wondering where this woman was expecting us to run our cars and heat our homes and get our food?’ There is nothing that we consume in this country that doesn't have element of the oil industry in them, from plastics used in our hospitals to our classrooms. The environmentalist have no answers to the very problem they have produce. Their new slogans seems to be now, that they created this mess is: "That we can't drill our way out of this." My answer to them is "Yes we can!!
We can open up vast areas of Montana and North Dakota Colorado Utah, we can start processing oil from shale and oil from Coal, we can start drilling of the coast off Florida and California, as well as AWNR in Alaska. We can harness the wind and the Sun and we can do any number of thousand things as will as protecting our environment.
But when you asked a Democrat for answers to this situation you get nothing but blank stares and a unwillingness to stake a position other than their current slogan: We can't drill...... Your know! The Democrats are in the same position of advocating the sweater wearing policies that made Jimmy Carter unpopular.
With $5 gas prices nearing we can be assured that the economy is going to take a dive. States like Florida and California will take a huge hit since tourism is their major industry. One environmentalist claim that no one wants to see oil rigs dotting the shoreline. Yet does these gentlemen ever consider what brings tourist to Florida? Can he spell OIL!
Voters in swing states like Florida opposed offshore drilling; the high gas prices are prompting them to reconsider, since their very future may depend on drilling offshore of their lovely state, They should if they are concerned about their jobs! John McCain's argument that even hurricane Katrina did not cause any oil spills from the offshore rigs in the Gulf of Mexico certainly will go far to allay the fears of the average voter.
Higher energy and food costs has a direct link to these environmental groups, where their shortsighted policies are causing the conditions we are now suffering from. These polices have now made us more depended on foreign sources and finance Terrorism in our country as well.
We are not drilling in the lower 48 and we cannot continue this type of break neck speed to disaster. Again the Democrats are headed in the wrong direction. They advocate for the Poor in this country and yet their polices cripple the poor and make them dependent on the government. They the environmental groups are equally either unaware or narrow minded to the realities of the real world. They cannot envision that this brave new world they have created is a false dream full of pit falls and contradictions. Their alternatives are not realistic and will not work in the real world and create false illusions to their followers.
It is with this that the American People must stand up and tell them, In a giant March to Washington that we must begin to drill and must stop all this foolishness. That they are effecting our lives and economy with this adolescence behavior. It is time to drill and .....
