I hope the Democrats will run on this energy-starved agenda next year. That will be the last we will hear of that bunch of Marxists for at least 50 years. Americans will not accept going back to huts and dug-outs because a bunch of Leftist tree-huggers refuse to let us have our natural gifts from God, our oil, coal and gas, to sustain our families and our country.
Oh, not all Americans will be living in huts, pedaling bicycles to work and shivering in barely-heated homes. The swells hyping this nonsense will still be jetting to Aspen in their Gulfstream jets, heating and cooling their 25,000 square foot homes, and puttering around Tennessee lakes on 60-foot floating palaces that consume enough fuel in a single run for us to run our SUV for a year. (Think Gore.)
If we have another winter in the US and northern Europe anything like the current still-dragging-on winter, and have $5 gasoline & home heating oil, and soaring food prices, I fear that we'll see thousands of poor and elderly freezing to death or starving in their unheated homes while desperate politicians futily scramble, too late, to find a way out of the mess they've created. Sadly, I'm convinced that only a tragedy of truly massive proportions like this will arouse the populace to wrest power from the loons and restore sanity to energy policy.
I do not think the America Sucks message will work when the communists are running everything. Alinsky never planned this far ahead.
