Let me tell you a good story.
Just yesterday,my wife volunteered to serve a meal to about 40 persons in Covington Ky on convention.
It was a convention of members of volunteer neighborhood associations from all over the eastern USA.
The venue was the banquet hall in a stunning 19th century Catholic Church.
The City of Covington was only involved so far as to provide the transportation to the various volunteer neighboorhood groups who were feeding and hosting.
The city failed to provide that transportation.
the conventioneers were stuck at their various hotels.
In the various neighboorhoods hundreds of meals were wasted .
The particulr Church that my wife volunteered at serves daily free meals to the homeless, has done that for decades.
However the forty meals prepared for the guests that the city of Covington left at their hotels....
All had to go into the garbage....
because the city health department requires that any food served at the parishes kitchen must “sealed” upon arrival.
That is the way it is.
Totally AFU.

We are capable of becoming energy independent in a few short years. This alone would add trillions to our economy and tens of millions of jobs. We should be the major exporter of oil to the world instead of the world’s major importer of oil.

I'm still predicting OB will turn his campaign around by easing restrictions on energy development and production in time to have the economy moving before the election, possibly as just a campaign ploy.

Herman Cain has made the very strong point that as we move toward energy independence, countries like Iran will falter because they depend 70% for their government revenues on oil sales, whereas Saudi Arabia only depends on oil sales for 30% of their revenues (although, I don't know how Mister Cain arrived at those numbers in his interview with Dickhead Morris).

That the democrat party does not want this nation moving toward energy independence is at least a clear sign that they are enemies of the Republic.

Of course, if the oil companies were the major campaign contributors to the democrat criminal enterprise, the perspective from the treacherous democrats might change, but I doubt it, because it appears to be the goal of the democrats to end the independence of this Republic and bring US under a global governance. There's something in the last part of the Bible about that ... oh, and way back in Daniel, too, and in Ezekiel! Does that portend for whom the democrat criminal enterprise works, wittingly or unwittingly?
