Ann Coulter's latest column is one every Democrat in Congress, and a few Republicans, should read. Then they should re-read it and read it again until they get the damn point! Ann give us some background on Nancy Pelosi's thought process along with its logical conclusions:
Oil prices dropped about $10-a-barrel today because one those "oil men" Pelosi spoke about lifted the Executive ban on offshore drilling. Just the thought of having one less hurdle to overcome caused oil prices to fall that much. Amazing how it did not even take five-to-ten years! Gee, how did that happen? Was it magic? Did George Bush steal some of Nancy Pelosi's fairy dust? I'm sure Pelosi will blame the fall in oil prices on her demand the President open-up the Strategic Petroleum Reserve. Ann Coulter had something to say about that as well:
Conservation, efficiency and using oil we hold in reserve for emergencies does not get us more energy. It's as if we were running out of food and the Democrats were telling us: "Just eat a little less every day." Great! We'll die a little more slowly. That's not what we call a "plan." We need more energy, not a plan for a slower death.
But there's more! Pelosi announced that the Democrats also plan to push for "an historic investment in biofuels, efficiency, conservation and the rest." The "rest" is apparently what she called our "important and essential" investment in alternative energy.
That certainly would be historic: We would make history by throwing our money away on unproven energy boondoggles that have eaten up untold billions since the 1960s without producing a single net kilowatt of power while we all starve to death.
The proposal to use energy sources that don't yet produce any energy is like the old New Yorker cartoon with Obama in Muslim garb -- no wait, that was a different cartoon. The cartoon is: A scientist has written out his extremely complicated theory on a blackboard and is showing it to another scientist. The theory consists of numbers and characters and takes up the entire blackboard. About two-thirds of the way across, reading left to right, appear the words, "then a miracle happens," followed by more numbers and characters.
That's the Democrats' plan to run cars on biofuels, solar and wind power: Then a miracle happens. The current Democratic mantra on energy is: "We can't drill our way out of this problem." Apparently their plan is to talk our way out of this problem.
Read all of Ann Coulter's columns at Human Events every week. Ann goes on to explain another aspect of the Pelosi Doctrine on Oil Prices. According to Nancy Pelosi, the evil oil companies hate Americans and are sitting on gazillions of barrels of oil with the leases they already hold; refusing to drill and make oil appear out of dry ground. What dear Nancy refuses to understand or acknowledge is that oil companies are unable to drill for oil on leases which don't have any oil. This is completely understandable when you realize Nancy Pelosi also believes that viable alternative fuel and energy sources can will themselves into existence if everyone would just stop driving their infernal cars!
The American People are rapidly coming to understand that it's not the oil companies who hate them; it's the Democrats in Congress. By their very nature oil companies will drill for oil wherever a government will allow them to do so. Outside of ANWR and offshore possibilities we have anywhere from 1.5-trillion to 4-trillion barrls of untouched oil in the Bakken and Green River reserves right here in the 48 States. Add it all up and America alone possesses enough oil to last us for over two centuries; more than enough time to allow the free market to work normally and move us into renewable sources of fuel and energy slowly over time. That way of course requires Congress and the Democrats keep thier grubby little hands out of the free market and cease manipulation behind the backs of the American People. Strange concept, I know.
Nancy Pelosi and the Democrats don't want to wait, they want you and your family to hurt. Congress wants you to hurt so bad that you will either walk, ride a bicycle, or ride a bus to work every day. The sort of change the Democrats want is change which brings the American People to their knees. Through great pain and damage to your way of life you will finally understand that Democrats and liberals are the only ones who can lift you back up again.
