“Our guys need to be hammering the Dems with this. As often as they can get in front of a camera or mic!”
Wake me when the cowardly pussies in the Republican party wake up. The “compassionate conservatism” of the Bushes and others is, and has been a politically damaging soporific.
I take it you're not a Republican.
Having been raised to always fight back, to always punch back a little harder than the other guy (Old-School “Conflict Resolution”), I never, ever understand why “our” side doesn’t kick the Dems’ teeth in and put a boot in their “collective” asses when the opportunity presents itself. This is a perfect example.
We (Middle America) are being bled to death by a Demsocialist-controlled policy to stop American companies from drilling OUR oil on OUR off-shores...
“Our” party has a political lightning rod HANDED to them, and they muddle and mill about like brain-dead cattle, trying to figure out how the cow pattie landed where it did...
The definition of “peace” to the Socialists is “the absence of opposition to communist goals”. In other words, they are in a perpetual state of WAR with the rest of us. They are using LAW and ECONOMICS now instead of bullets; it’s easier to “rebuild” society when you don’t have to reconstruct the bombed buildings. You can always “re-educate” people’s kids, or launch a media campaign to demonize dissidents, call them “extremists” and “child molesters” and then kill them later off camera...
And “our” side just doesn’t get it. The DemComs hit us, again and again and again, and our side just says “STOP THAT!, Or I’ll SAY STOP THAT AGAIN!!!”
They’re either blind, ignorant, or tacitly complicit. I have no other explanation that I can think of.
And one more thing - who EXACTLY are these “environmental groups”... Faces? Names? Who are they? Where are they? We need to identify who they are, and they need to be held accountable. If they are standing in the way of American economic and energy independence, they need to be dealt with and removed.
