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.

Wow is all I can say about this. It’s hard to wrap my mind around this.
