The Sunday Morning Bray”, by Bray!

Greet one another with a kiss of LOVE. Peace to all of you who are in Christ. 1 Peter 5:14

While all of the District of Corruption are saying how President $oro$ and Dirtbag Harry won this latest battle over the tax cuts they missed the most important part of the story. The one thing neither of them swore they would allow made it through without discussion. The one piece of the bill that can potentially destroy both of their goals is going to be front page for the next two months while the Presidential candidates’ debate for it and that is the Keystone pipeline. Who cares about a phony tax cut when we should be axing to double the cut when you have one of the biggest energy sources in America about to hit the proverbial windmill?

Over the next 60 days there needs to be a nonstop discussion of whether we are ever going to get serious about energy independence or are we forever going to be strangled by the environazis? We have the entire house as well as a majority of senators from both parties as well as 7 candidates who have a forum to mount the greatest battle of our time. Rather than being distracted by a misnamed payroll tax cut that we should have been suggesting doubling and really put them on defense, we need to go to war over this Canadian pipeline. We are on the right side of this debate as it will make a thousand times the jobs the tax cut will while sending money to our closest neighbor to the north. He has no reason other than another gift to the anti-America crowd who has owned this issue for the past three decades, where is our Patton?

Our leaders need to go to the American people and say they will not only agree to cutting the American taxpayers taxes 20 bucks a week but will match that with another 20 dollars from the employer which will be passed back to the employee. We need to stand by our belief that lowering taxes creates jobs and stimulates the economy and if SociSecurity goes under then the sooner the better. This is a twofer in that it will not only put a spotlight on the Ponzi scheme but lowering taxes and reforming SS are two items that need to be done while we can then change the new subject to the pipeline which is the most important part of this bill and our economy’s future.

Lowering taxes is miniscule in comparison to lowering the price of gas and fuel. While he was supposedly allowing the American worker to keep $1,000 the gummit was wanting to waste, that same worker was paying over $5,000 in gas and electricity to make his life work. You can double that amount when you add in the things that he had to buy which was artificially high due to the doubling of gas and diesel which has gone from under $2/gal to nearly $4 as planned by Obozo. The installation of this pipeline which could easily be built within 2 years would bring those prices down to that $2 level and return around $10,000 or $400 per paycheck to the average American worker. This is why this discussion needs to be made and why this is the real victory in this bill as that flag needs to be waved.

The third part of this discussion needs to be the amount of disposable income that this pipeline will provide making for the ability for the average worker and business to purchase new goods and services employing more people. You can look at any graph of the past economic cycles and you will see a nearly one to one correlation between the price of oil and the GDP as well as employment. When you have low priced and available energy supplies you have a healthy economy which is willing to expand and hire people as well as buying more goodies for the household including new cars that actually carry more than one sack of groceries. This pipeline can be the provider of all of those things as well as a boomlet in Houston from a new and lower priced raw material to process in the only refinery in America to refine that oil.

Now we know that John Bonehead and Ol Mitch McDonald can’t articulate these simple ideas but some of our candidates and especially Newt can and need to. He can take that pipeline and shout it from the mountaintops while wrapping it around NoOilbama’s neck. That should be his bling for the next 60 days as the people realize he is costing them jobs, money and a better lifestyle so he can keep a few 1%ers in Frisco happy drinking their Chateau St Michele 1988 on their redwood decks overlooking the bay. Meanwhile a guy is paying through the nose to fill his pickup so he can go to work and get his 20 buck giveback he already earned, from Mr Ohbummer. Now even Bonehead and McDonald should be able to figure out what is going to happen if this is made the number one issue over the next 2 to 10 months. Even the soccer moms will get this argument every time they fill the van.

Rather than listening to all of the computer driven experts in DC it is time to think with your gut and go back to basics. The reason we had a deep recession under Carter is by having the oil turned off from Anti-American Iranians and the reason we are having one now is having the oil turned off from the radical Anti-Americans in the Middle East and the EPA. The reason Reagan won is he explained that to the American people and made it real clear he was going to develop every energy resource we had available. The way to beat the Democrats like a rented mule is to strap the Keystone around their spindly necks and turn it into their Millstone. They are the ones standing in the way of $2/gal gas and it is time for America to choose which way they want to go, Keystones or Millstones.

Merry Christmas
