Think about it

The OPEC minister will look you in the eyes and state:
“ We are at war with you infidels. Have been since the embargo in the 1970s. You are so arrogant you haven’t even recognized it. You have more missiles, bombs, and technology; so we are fighting with the best weapon we have and extracting on a net basis about $700 billion/year out of your economy. We will destroy you! Death to the infidels!

While I am here I would like to thank you for the following: Not developing your 250-300 year supply of oil shale and tarsands. we know if you did this, it would create millions of jobs for US citizens, expand your engineering capabilities, and keep the wealth in the US instead of sending it to us to finance our war against you bastards.

Thanks for limiting defense dept. purchases of oil sands from your neighbors to the north. We love it when you confuse your allies.

Thanks for over regulating every segment of your economy and thus delaying, by decades, the development of alternate fuel technologies.

Thanks for limiting drilling off your coasts, in Alaska , and anywhere there is a bug, bird, fish, or plant that might be inconvenienced. Better that your people suffer! Glad to see our lobbying efforts have been so effective.

Corn based Ethanol. Praise Allah for this sham program! Perhaps you will destroy yourself from the inside with these types of policies. This is a gift from Allah, praise his name! We never would have thought of this one! This is better than when you pay your farmers NOT TO GROW FOOD. Have them use more energy to create less energy, and simultaneously drive food prices through the roof.
Thank you US Congress!!!!

And finally, we appreciate you letting us fleece you without end. You will be glad to know we have been accumulating shares in your banks, real estate, and publicly held companies. We also finance a good portion of your debt and now manipulate your markets, currency, and economies to our benefit.

THANK YOU AMERICA !”

Yes. We are probably financing Iran’s nuclear program. Ironic, isn’t it.

And this has been done since 1979 with GOP presidents in the White House for 20 of those 28 years and a GOP Congress for 12 of those years. Does anyone think these facts will be allowed to go by unnoticed in this election.

Our Texas oilmen and pols allowed themselves to be conned into believing that the Saudis really were well educated, single malt drinking, Sayville Row suit wearing colleagues instead of deeply religious and ideological Muslims, still believing in an Islamic restoration.

Of course neither candidate is one we can count on to redirect this catastrophe, certainly not the haloed one.We need someone who can see our enemies clearly, recognize our vulnerabilities and strive to eliminate them, is beholden to no special interest save his oath of office.Any suggestions?
