What Stupidity is This?

Posted by The New THOMA$ REPORT on Thursday, August 07, 2008 1:57:38 PM
Anybody with ANY amount of intelligence knows that if you cut off supply while demand is rising precipitously, prices will go up, also precipitously. They also know that if prices for motor fuel go up precipitously, prices YOU have to pay for EVERYTHING will go up because everything you buy MUST be shipped, and shippers must pay those high fuel prices and add the cost to what you are required to pay to get your purchases to you, or the store from which you buy them. So ANYBODY who opposes things like "domestic oil drilling," building oil refineries in this country, and nuclear power (which is about as safe as anything if proper procedures are followed). So what's WRONG with Democrats and other liberals who have allowed environmental extremists to cause an almost COMPLETE HALT in oil production in this country, causing HUMANS to be an "endangered species" to "protect" some unknown animal species, forcing us to buy a significant amount of our oil from people who hate us and who work hard to keep prices high. This is (Just common sense)

Putting the Government in Control

Posted by The New THOMA$ REPORT on Thursday, August 07, 2008 1:55:45 PM
Liberals want the "Cap and Trade" laws enacted to put their people "in charge" of everyone. Cap and Trade is deceptively peddled as a free-market solution to the yet-to-be-settled issue of manmade climate change. Under its provisions, companies would be able to emit greenhouse gases only if they had a government allowance." In other words, you CAN pollute as much as you want, as long as you go "hat in hand" and "tugging your forelock" to a "faceless bureaucrat" and PAY for permission. That way, they can control your every move eventually. (Walter E. Williams)

Making It a "Federal Case"

Posted by The New THOMA$ REPORT on Thursday, August 07, 2008 1:52:32 PM
The Federal government is going into the business of eradicating bedbugs, something that has already been almost completely eliminated by the private enterprise need to protect their customers and also themselves from suits. They're going to spend $50 million dollars to interfere in what should be a STATE responsibility. Seems to me there is written somewhere (I can't seem to remember where . . .) that the feds have NO power they aren't specifically GIVEN by the citizens, and I'm sure "bedbug control" isn't on that list. They say it's not a joke. I disagree. I think it is, and I needed a good laugh. (Common Sense)

Widening the Problem

Posted by The New THOMA$ REPORT on Wednesday, August 06, 2008 2:35:26 PM
The liberals aren't satisfied with rising gasoline costs. They want us to be miserable at the dinner table as well--and everywhere else. "Anyone with an ounce of brains would have realized that diverting crops from food to fuel use would raise the prices of corn-fed livestock, such as pork, beef, chicken and dairy products, and products made from corn, such as cereals. Ethanol production has led to increases in other grain prices, such as soybean and wheat. Since the U.S. is the world’s largest grain producer and exporter, higher grain prices have had a huge impact on food prices worldwide." And then there is the marked increase in shipping costs caused by increasing gasoline prices, which has caused the price of EVERYTHING to rise, as well, since everything we consume must be shipped. In addition to that, we're starting to see airlines going out of business or declaring Chapter 11 or Chapter 7 bankruptcy because they can't pay their bills (Chapter 11 allows them to stay in business while making plans to pay; Chapter 7 means "it's all over.") As this problem mushrooms into everybody's life, the liberals are on a five-week paid vacation while still opposing what can relieve the problem. (Atlasphere)

The Myth of a "Bad Economy"

Posted by The New THOMA$ REPORT on Wednesday, August 06, 2008 2:32:02 PM
The liberals have been trying for years to convince us "we're in the worst economy in 20 years" while the numbers make them liars (of course they forget that part of that 20 years was under a Democrat president)  Yes, we're in "a rough patch," caused mostly by the Democrats (liberals) opposing every attempt to drill for oil in America, while making it impossible to build a gasoline refinery here for more than 30 years while they move us ever closer to socialism (and if you don't know what socialism is, and why it's bad for us, PLEASE look it up). But we'll survive, as we've survived other "rough patches" also caused by the liberals (Democrats). They do this simply to buy votes from those they have convinced to "ignore politics because one person can't affect it anyway" and are thus ignorant of the facts. (The American)

To Put Out a Fire, Douse it With Gasoline!

Posted by The New THOMA$ REPORT on Wednesday, August 06, 2008 2:29:29 PM
That's pretty much as logical as what Obama is promoting. He wants to subsidize CONSUMPTION (giving everybody #1,000 to buy gas) while further taxing to reduce PRODUCTION (paying for the $1,000 with an "excess profits tax" on the oil industry). How stupid is THIS? Seems like every word out of this man's mouth displays his ignorance. (The Beacon News)
