Drill
Petroleum is a major part of America’s energy picture. Shall we get it here or abroad?

By Sarah Palin

Given that we’re spending billions of stimulus dollars to rebuild our highways, it makes sense to think about what we’ll be driving on them. For years to come, most of what we drive will be powered, at least in part, by diesel fuel or gasoline. To fuel that driving, we need access to oil. The less use we make of our own reserves, the more we will have to import, which leads to a number of harmful consequences. That means we need to drill here and drill now.

We rely on petroleum for much more than just powering our vehicles: It is essential in everything from jet fuel to petrochemicals, plastics to fertilizers, pesticides to pharmaceuticals. Ac­cord­ing to the Energy Information Ad­min­is­tra­tion, our total domestic petroleum consumption last year was 19.5 million barrels per day (bpd). Motor gasoline and diesel fuel accounted for less than 13 million bpd of that. Meanwhile, we produced only 4.95 million bpd of domestic crude. In other words, even if we ran all our vehicles on something else (which won’t happen anytime soon), we would still have to depend on imported oil. And we’ll continue that dependence until we develop our own oil resources to their fullest extent.

I’ve wrote before on here how I know The Left must have a newsletter. They seem to have a new peewee game plan now. In unison they post comments all over the web that Palin is a quitter, she couldn’t take the pressure, she’s a wacko, I don’t understand a thing she said and other petty things.

Do they really believe the thinking people can’t see through this barrage of garbage? Are they that out of touch with what the average normal person is about. Do they really feel they can continue to insult people and we’ll just go with it?

It would appear that it’s worked so far for their voting block. I guess those folks like people to tell them what to think and what to do. By the looks of it, it doesn’t matter if you win an election on merit. It only matters that you win. Even if the person you’ve elected is the biggest mistake since the likes of Jimmy Carter.

I wonder if the Obama voters will think he is cool (cool is what they were told to think remember) in say two years from now when he is still jetting around on the taxpayer dollar. When groceries cost twice as much as they do now. And gosh I don’t even want to think about the other stuff that could come to pass.

I believe most of Obama’s voters don’t remember Carter. I was just a kid then but I do recall during Carter’s administration, grocery stores came up with a special aisle in the store. It was filled with boxes and cans in white packages with black letters; it was called generic items! Generic groceries were of the lowest quality and price, just a sign of those times. A bad memory indeed! I wonder what our kids will remember about the Obama years? And if it will be as cool as those generic groceries?

Crack open a cold one… here’s to newsletters, Carter, Obama and tasty generic beer.

This is another in a series of successful steps to build the world’s largest commercial construction project. For this, credit Palin. Despite the too-hip ridicule of comedians like David Letterman, she was the one who got the pipeline past Alaska’s legislature, something governors had tried — and failed — to do for 30 years.

This is an amazing accomplishment that I’m sure we won’t here much about in the lower 48.

Statement from Governor Sarah Palin in regards to Michael Steele

The transition from Candidate Obama to President Obama has been as predictable as Alaska’s winter snow.

We are now witnessing actions that will lead to a monumental shift away from free market capitalism and the strong work ethic that built this great country. ‘Change’ in this administration has meant rapid movement toward massive government growth, huge tax burdens on future generations, and an unprecedented reliance upon foreign countries.

Today, we learned that Obama’s decisions continue to impact Alaskans; while we as taxpayers now own General Motors, Obama closes another dealership – this time in Soldotna as more of Alaskans’ hard-earned money and jobs are lost to big government. Government should not be in the auto industry business. In Alaska, we have also seen a shift in federal priorities that threaten the loss of subsidized village health care services under the same candidate who led you to believe he’d insure all Americans. The inconsistent messages and actions are unsettling.

But we have another voice in Washington, DC – a man who understands what Alaskans believe: less centralized government control, restrained budgets, more opportunity for development, and fewer taxes. Today, we have a friend in RNC Chairman Michael Steele and his bold and courageous speech defines his leadership goals that will guide us all through this most difficult time for our nation.”

Chris Matthews, you know the guy that gets a tingle up his leg when Obama speaks, the one that said it was his “job” to make sure Obama is successful, says that the Dow Jones is Obama scorecard.

Chris Matthews said, “I thought 8,000 was the floor, and it looks like 6,000 is the floor. People are angry, I’m getting angry.”

I know we are all busy people. We have work, kids, pets and nifty TV shows to watch. I’m so surprised though that people have not taken to the streets in protest over this Stimulus bill. Has the mindset of America’s people looking for a quick fix without looking to the consequences really truly taken over? Are people afraid because the media says if you aren’t for this bill then you must be uncaring, that you must be an awful person not wanting to help those who are hurting?

Please leave your comment on why you feel that there isn’t more outrage about this Stimulus Bill.

If ever there was an election that was not worth winning, it was the contest of 2008. While it was hard-fought on both sides, had McCain won, it might have spelled the end of the Republican Party. As it is, the party is well-situated to come back in 2010 and in 2012, if it learns the lessons of this year.

Simply put, all hell is about to break loose in the markets and the economy. The mortgage crisis will likely be followed by defaults in credit card debt, student loans and car loans. We will probably be set for two years of zero growth, according to economists with whom I talk. And the federal efforts to protect the nation from the worst of the recession will probably lead to huge budget deficits and resulting inflation. We are in for stagflation that could last for years.
