Science Democrat Style
Obama is on record now discussing $12/gallon gasoline. What was his response? Well…NOTHING! No mention of drilling. No mention of refining. No mention of relenting in the Democrat attack on the oil industry. No mention of anything whatsoever, except “change.”
So, let’s look at the Democrat party’s response to this whole gasoline mess. They refuse to drill, even going as far as to say that the law of supply and demand doesn’t work. They refuse to permit refining, even when we currently have to import 15% of our refined gasoline. They tell us that increasing supply won’t help, WHILE deciding that we can sue OPEC for refusing to increase supply. And, finally, they tell us that the only way to reduce prices is either to increase cost or come up with a new scientific discovery.
Liberals look at reports telling us that we have more oil in the Rocky Mountains ALONE than the entire world has used since oil was discovered, and tell us it’s irresponsible to take it. Liberals look at Cuba’s agreement to allow Vietnam, among others, drill in the Gulf of Mexico, inside the limit Democrats refuse to let American oil companies near, and complain that it’s not environmentally safe for our companies to drill there. THEN, they have the nerve to say that we must become energy independent???
I’ve been wondering how we can become energy independent if Democrats vote, as they have recently, in lockstep to keep us from becoming energy independent. I’ve been wondering what could have destroyed enough Liberal brain cells to make them believe that increasing cost and artificially restricting supply in the face of rising demand will lower prices. Then It finally struck me how Democrats think it can be done, and it was their demand for higher CAFE standards that made it so clear!
All we have to do, in the “minds” of liberals, is to legislate a scientific discovery into being! THERE! Energy Independence, ala The Democrat Party!
That bunch of lawyers who, in large part, have never worked anywhere but the public sector for most of their lives, decided that auto makers can defy the laws of physics and build vehicles that get far more mileage than is possible. When automakers told them that as long as friction exists, they cannot meet the standards, Liberals scoffed and pointed at their shiny new law! Apparently, all it takes is for some moron in Washington to push a bill through Congress and get the President to sign it, and VOILA! A brand new scientific discovery that no one has EVER heard of before! AMAZING!
Yes, our fearless leaders have determined that science comes down to wishing something were so, believing really, really hard that it is so, and then getting their fellow elected boobs to pass a bill making it so. Hence, their response to $12 gasoline! All they need to do is write a law that says “Thou Shalt Discover an entirely new fuel source.” Why…we mere humans (a.k.a. those of us NOT inside the Washington beltway) have been so stupid all of our lives. We never realized that all we need to do is have Congress pass a bill, and we will instantly see a brand new source of fuel that no one has EVER heard of before pop into existence. Not only will that new fuel source magically appear, but a new national production and distribution infrastructure will instantaneously appear, and all of our vehicles will magically start running on this newly-legislated-into-being fuel! WOW! Amazing, isn’t it? I wish I had known all of that before I wasted so much time in science classes! What a waste of time!
That MUST be what Obama and the other wannabe tyrants believe! How else could their completely irresponsible approach to energy be explained? How else could their completely irresponsible approach to the economy be explained? How else could their completely irresponsible approach to the climate be explained?
Oh…Wait…If forgot the obvious. They DON’T want us to be energy independent. They DON’T want us to have economic freedom. They DON’T want us to breathe as much air as we please. It’s not that they actually believe their own propaganda. It’s that they know that so many of us WILL believe their nonsense, and THAT will make us the nation of obedient little slaves to the all-powerful federal government that gives them goregasms in the night.
