The apparent madness of Leftists opposing any drilling for oil in ANWR, where the environmental impact is practically nil and which would immediately begin to ratchet down the price of oil, and Leftists simultaneously railing against big oil companies for high oil prices is only apparently mad. The Left wants the price of oil high. The Left wants the price of all necessities like food and medicine high. The fact that this causes general misery and that this causes particular misery among the lower middle class does not prevent the Left from taking this perverse position. That fact is the actual reason why the Left wants prices high or wages low or opportunity blocked or hatreds simmering.
The plain fact is that the Left thrives on misery. Without misery, the Left would not have inferiors. Because the Left has deified itself and abolished a Blessed Creator, it must have mortals who leave in wretchedness, fear, loneliness and anger. The Left cannot reign over Heaven – it scarcely can conceive of Heaven – and so it will reign over Hell.

A move toward energy-independence for America would be good for America. The liberal socialists will do ANYTHING to prevent anything good happening for America -— they need gloom, economic downside, negativism, victims, anything to promote their uselessness and socialist agenda. The government to the rescue....

With no ANWR, the US is at the mercy of Canada and the middle east for oil.
The US will hear a big FU from Canada if it tries to alter NAFTA - Canada will immediately begin to negotiate trade agreements with China, India, etc. and that is where the tarsands oil will go.
We all know the middle east is not the ideal place to look for oil.
So why would Mccain oppose ANWR? Does he like conflict in the middle east with the US prominently involved?
Better by the lib/commies standard to create hell on earth than have their power overthrown by free enterprise.
And in their misery the people will be given scapegoats instead of useful material goods. Who will be the scapegoats? Judeo Christian types, Enron, Zionists; etc.
Ahh... Because he's a RINO idiot who has no clue how to run America?
If the left were truly concerned about the environment, then they would be concerned about the lack the environmental controls of the Middle Eastern oil companies.
A good friend lived in Kuwait for over 4 years. He informed us that that the oil workers slop oil everywhere. They only deal with it when it becomes a safety issue. Then, their solution is to torch off the pool of oil, thus filling the sky with black smoke.
I was at a mine in Indonesia back in the early 90’s and have been saying the same thing ever since. If they were TRULY environmentalists they would let us dig for gold next to Yellowstone and drill for oil next to Caribou breeding grounds. (By the way, the Caribou are doing great near the pipeline that was designed and built taking in their migration, etc.).
And why - if it is the Caribou’s breeding grounds - we’re the ones getting screwed?
I guess I can hope that Bush during his last week could make an Exectutive Decision claiming that a million acres (or whatever the original plan was) of ANWAR must be set aside as a drilling refuge, and drilled and put into production as soon as possible if a company wishes to do so.
Clinton, locked out all of those coal fields in Utah(?) and made it some park - why can’t it go the other way? I’m serious. Setting an area aside for development of a natural resource that is vital to our defense and economy makes more sense than some park that very few people will ever see in a lifetime.
“Leftists opposing any drilling for oil in ANWR”
As I said, the attack on the United States is well organized.
My theory of liberals is that liberals are persons who lack the gene required to process reality.
