As Palin pointed out to Salazar, the USGS assessment "estimates that Arctic Alaska has mean technically recoverable resources of approximately 30 billion barrels of oil, 6 billion barrels of natural gas liquids and 221 trillion cubic feet of conventional natural gas."

“The administration’s game plan is to force energy prices to “skyrocket” to make alternative sources of energy more competitive.”

I can’t believe anyone with two brain cells voted for Zero.

This is why women should never have been given the right to vote.

Tough titty if you don’t like my comment.

Part of Obama’s destruction process of the US.

I don’t and knock it off!

I didn’t vote for zero and I don’t care for your purposefully degrading disrespecting choice of words. Knock it off!

Most democrats are women.

Our country has fallen badly since the Wilson adminstration, suffrage and ESPECIALLY women voting.

They are not focused, they are scatter-brained. Read any book on brain anatomy and then come back and tell me where the term “scatter brained” came from.

The real mistake was allowing women to drive. That got the whole thing rolling..so to speak.
Occasionally, as men, we should use the pickup to take them to the store to buy provisions. Walking is tough in bare feet.

With a name like HonestConservative I would think you would at least ask for a logical argument.

He’s right, you know.

Women (generally) are more willing than men to trade freedom away for security. And that’s how we got to where we are.

Actually it is not women who are them main problem. It is the racist 95% block vote that is the problem. Without the racist black block vote there would not even be a democratic party with any real power.

If you had each party make up 50 questions that had to be answered correctly or else you could not vote the problem would be resolved. The 50 questions from each party and the answers to them would be issued one year before elections. Anyone who could not answer 85 questions properly would not vote. Just not at all. I do not want people who are ignorant to be voting anyway. I have yet to find an obama voter who knows doodly squat about almost anything.

I did. I came to the conclusion, based on what he posted, and your response that you disagreed with the point he was making.

It;a funny how they want to blame women for all that’s wrong when in fact, it’s mostly men who are running this country. Who gave us the new deal, abortion rights, etc. It was men.

Most teachers and school Principals are women nowadays. They were radicalized in the late ‘60’s/70’s are now in charge. They have pussified the boys. No P.E., no dodgeball, but mass quantities of mind control drugs. A.D.D. was unheard of before the mid 70’s - an now look at the sorry lot of metrosexuals.

LOL! Afraid of your own comment I see.

Come on, we can have an HONEST disagreement over this.

You are offended that some of us think that the women’s vote has (eventually) left the country in the clutches of a hard line Leftist. Even though you didn’t vote for him.

Furthermore, you are afraid of engaging us on the issue, because you realize it is going to be hard to argue against logic, even though we’ve only toss out but a smattering of such.

Of course you are. My wife is one of those who has the logic you refer to.

It is her hard cold logic that has brought her to the point of regularly declaring that is is the women’s vote that has brought this country to it’s knees in front of a hard line Leftist.

You are proving my point.

Post 19 defines your position, and you’re too wussy to do anything about it. It will stand as your position.

Just like the Republican Party, which has allowed itself to be feminized into a Party of no principals. That’s what happens when men are no longer men, but simply feminized males.

No we aren't that stupid, we know exactly what we are saying.

You make an error when you say we are forgetting half of you.

Unfortunately, it isn't half. If it were we wouldn't be in this mess. It's more like a third. The other two thirds are more than willing to throw the freedoms that millions of American men died for over the side of our ship in exchange for the 'security' that the Lefties tell them they will have if they vote D.

I guess you didn’t want Sarah Palin to be an elected official, either — since I presume that typically, one would expect that the constitutional test to be an elected official would be more restrictive than whatever would be the test to be a legal voter.

As I type this I lm forwarding this thread to my 38 year old attorney friend in Cincinnati who might be the most conservative female that I know personally.

She may have a lot to say about this. In the case that she’s too busy to bother, which is really easy when you work 80 hours /week, let me speak in her place.....

That’s really effing stupid sterotyping!! Really effing stupid!!

If you want to go after the block of female voters that do vote democrat, fine. Lay your assults at those who sit on their effing arses spitting kids out that we pay for never having to work but somehow find a way to go on vacations and amusement parks with welfare money.Attack them all you want, but don’t dare go into unfounded generalzations about ALL females. Be a little smarter than that!!!

I don’t doubt your family description at all. But they have virtually no effect on the outcome of the elections. I also don’t doubt that if you made the call, we would be in MUCH better shape than we are. But you don’t get that power.

Our countries problem is that ALL women get to vote. As a result, each party has to present itself to women in such a way as to garner their vote. Two thirds of women are willing to trade freedom away to the promises of security that generally the D’s present much better than the R’s.

The R’s have made a tragic error by trying to cater to that emotional vote.

Come on, be honest. Of course not.

But the facts are that women continue to be more likely than men to accept the promsie of security, and are far more will than men are to give away our freedoms.

THAT's the heart of the issue.
