“The Sunday Morning Bray”, by Bray!
Genesis 14:21 The king of Sodom said to Abram, “Give me the people and keep the goods for yourself.”
Just as the price of gas is reaching levels Americans can both go to the grocery store and fill their cars in the same week, our Glorious Premier Obozo decides to close the remainder of the ANWAR desert to oil exploration. This oil reserve holds more than thirty years of energy for America and would further stabilize the price of gas, but Marxists like him hate cheap oil so he is closing this production by edict. Alaskans want to develop and harvest this vast reserve, however the Federal gummit thinks they know best for the state from half a world away so the Alaskans have no say. This is the problem with the Feds owning nearly 60% of a state’s resources.
It is time to divest the Federal gummit from the western states and let them manage and maintain their own resources. There is very little difference between the old Soviet Union and America when it comes to central planning and ownership of the resources. Not only is there no difference than Moscow controlling the Siberian forests and railroads, it is not even as efficient. Alaska should be able to manage their resources as there is no justification for them not to and if there is 30 years of American usage then it would allow America to either become self sufficient or allow Alaska to sell to the Asian market. There is no reason logistically or environmentally these reserves nobody even travels to should not be properly managed.
The only reason Premier Obozo is closing this vital resource, like the rest of his Party he hates capitalism and America. He is a hardcore Marxist who only wants the worst for the American capitalistic machine. As he watches the gas prices slip below two dollars he sees his worst nightmare coming true. He knows cheap plentiful energy is the lifeblood of free market capitalism which is why he has spent the past six years doing everything he could to raise those prices in both gas and electricity. This has been his 1917 Russian Revolution being fought from the District of Corruption.
Just like the Global Warming, junk scientists promoted their Peak Oil theory. This was another consensus science which said there was only a very limited amount of oil around the world which would be depleted by the year 2020. These scientists who also were Marxists wrote their predictions on the information they had even though in the US most of the Federal and much of the state lands had been off limits to not only drilling but exploration. Imagine laws which say you can’t even look to see if you have a vital resource, but we have them. Add to that they were using arcane drilling and exploration methods which only located the largest pools of oil in the world. They were plugging incomplete data into their computer models and coming up with their consensus science that we would run out of oil in 2020. This was going to be a crisis of apocalyptic proportions just like Global Warming.
A funny thing happened on the way to the end of the oil, we found more. The world began finding oil in Russia, Nigeria, Brazil and the Dakotas turning their model into a puddle of goo. Academia refused to back off of their predictions until the last couple years and now politicians are backfilling with laws and regulations stopping as much production as they can to keep the prices artificially high. This is primarily being done at the Federal level and the Glorious Premier’s latest decree is another reduction in the supply to further hurt the American middle class which is what he is primarily about.
Every state should have full control of their resources. If they want to develop them that is their business and if they want to let it go to waste it is likewise their choice. We should have fifty mini-countries running and managing their resources at the source rather than a half a world away. The western states should be managed the same way the rest of the country handles their land. Alaska is so large it is hard enough to manage from Fairbanks and impossible to imagine running it from DC effectively. The ANWAR reserve is a frozen desert the size of South Carolina that is sitting on an ocean of oil. What gives the Federal Government the right to say the people of Alaska cannot develop and create quality jobs by punching some holes in that frozen tundra. This could be the equivalent of an American Saudi Arabia minus the Islamic terrorists, but thanks to DC Alaskans have to scratch out a living catching crab on the Bering Sea. They really never traded up when they were sold by Moscow.
With today’s technology there is nearly zero chance of having a spill and even if there was as we saw in the Gulf of Mexico the lasting damage is negligible. The year following the spill they had the highest catch of fish in healthier sizes than they had in ten years, so much for consensus science. Alaska is the wealthiest state in the union with huge amounts of natural resources and if the Feds would get out of the way there is a bonanza waiting to happen. Rather than sending their Federal royalties to DC and then DC deciding how much to send back, Alaska should be able to keep their taxes in the first place and hire their own land managers.
Along with drilling and exploration technology, the monitoring and reporting advancements give local jurisdictions real time oversight. This can make more efficient production and planning to maximize efficiency and minimize costs. This will make for a clean and productive development and stewardship of these lands lending to better conservation and development. Alaska is being held back by the President and his political agenda as punishment for being a great country. These resources should be turned over to the state and managed in a more effective and proper method which would help the Alaskan people who should be the stewards of these lands.
We have a President who is at war with oil and has outlawed drilling off the Alaskan coast in the Arctic Ocean where the Russians are now punching wells and now he wants to eliminate drilling in the only small area in ANWAR it is allowed. There are no environmental reasons just like the Keystone pipeline or the Gulf of Mexico, only a President who happens to hate the free market system. He should stick to starting race riots which is his expertise. They were wrong about the Alaskan pipeline decades ago and the science is wrong about the damage to ANWAR just as they were wrong about Peak Oil. The turning over of resources to the states would be an economic revival for those states and that expansion would spread to the rest of the country raising all the boats. It is time to free Alaska from a centrally planned government and let Alaskans decide what Alaskans want.
Pray America is waking

Morning AB, All. Singing at the 10am mass this morning. Then have to go visit daughter who had a hysterectomy Friday.
Ah yes....this daughter of mine with a love of illness, hospitals, pain an cancer, drove me nus, telling me she was going to di, that she was filled with cancer. She had a couple of dermoid cysts removed from her ovaries, no sign anywhere of cancer, four trips to the ER proceeding this fine, fine hospital stay.
After they took her to the operating room I told everyone, EVERYONE, that she has Muncheussen syndrome and to watch the IV lines....
The medicos were shocked, yes they were, but the ONLY way to stop this....folks she likely didn’t even need the operation she had but one random trip to a GYN that se dgoes to doctors four or five days every week and finally found a doc who “found” something.
Anyway....be patient with me....the whole thing is just so weird. What could I do? A randome GYN plucked from the phone book and in Dover Delaware found a cyst on her ovaries...half the women in America have these things I am to understand.
Then it was frantic here, ER trips (where they always patted her on the head and sent her home)...SO I TOLD ON HER. I TOLD THE MEDICAL PEOPLE WHO SHOULD KNOW THIS FOR GOD’S SAKE!
Oh, they do....they know Muncheussen...or FACTITIOUS disorder....and the only way to make them do their job is to tell them what’s going on.
I visited yesterday and she looks great but she tells me she’s dying....in the Name of the Father, the Son and Holy Ghost, it gets so damn old.
Anyway, will be watching the talk shows and hope to join in on this thread conversation.
I don’t know if daughter is coming home today....she tells me no....heh. Well hell she’d stay until Christmas if she could.
Thank you AB for doing this thead and thank yon posters for your smart commentary.
It looks like the only show promoting soft balls is NBC. I’ll still bet there will be some add ins about it. This story is clearly the Alphabet’s attempt to take the news off of Obambi’s ineptness.
Well, today IS the Superbowl!
I do believe the deflated football “crisis” was a nothingburger and is pretty much over as a media issue.
Now play ball! I’m watching the game tonight without hating either team... May we all see some great football!
Closing Alaska may have more to do with helping the Saudis, Venezuela and Iran than we ever know.
The big war of course will be on fracking using methane and anything else they can pull out of their butts along the way.
Look for ozero, through the epa, to unilaterally close down fracking sometime this year.
Also, look for big oil not to fight too hard to stop it either. At least until the price gets back up above $75. per barrel where just about everything is profitable in the drilling world.
Profits are great. But when you buy out carburetors that get 50 mpg, gasoline additives that add 10 mpg. and collude with the govt. to keep more or less free energy which does exist off the market,(what do you think flew over Phoenix years ago) you are dealing with criminality. It's a real true blue price fixing scheme of gloal proportions.
Closing Anwar along with 40,000 layoffs in the Gulf of Mexico will tend to dry up supply in later years. So the price will stay will eventually up after this little blip until the next overproduction run by those countries who have to produce at any price to stay alive comes around. Bottom line for the price of crude oil to rise either the Saudis or the U.S. have to retard, restrict or kill off future production. Looks like it's us doing the dirty work. Even than capitalism reared it's head only to be dashed by big defunct corrupt governments.
Right now it is not profitable to drill in Alaska, but it should be in the future. To limit your reserves is only going to hurt the US. It appears the only reason we have made ANWAR a national park was to restrict oil production.
The war against cheap energy and individual freedom and liberty continues onward as the wars by Radical Islam and the Green Tyranny against us and individual freedom and liberty continue unabated.
Fox News - Full of left wing commentators
One loves baseball, one loves Bush II (Dana)
Two hard left wing propaganda activists (AP) “Controlling” the spin because Obama cannot control Yemen.
The NY lefty is simply “talking past” everyone because Natanyahu and Obama hate each other
Fox News - Bill Bennett - The Commissar in love with BIG G’MENT Dictating who will teach your children, what they will teach your children
And YOU WILL LIKE IT!!!!
SATs do not count, standard Tests do Not Count only indoctrination by Marxist/Jesuits counts.
A good Jesuit/Marxist saying - Give me a child to educate and I will give you a soldier of God/Commie
There isn't such a thing.
Carburetors are antique junk. EFI is state of art, you can monitor the actual fuel ratio and adjust it up and down with a laptop, in real time.
You can build a hydrogen generator and conduct your own experiments with that....little to no difference.
If you want 50 MPG, buy a Jetta TDI...no carburetor required.
Opinions differ.
The Sunday TV news shows continue their plunge to obscurity. Another useless, bogus week of of Obamabot spin and adoration of the USA number one “Hater & Traitor”!!! So sick of Democrats, Republicans, Independents, Conservatives, Liberals, the Media...not calling Obama exactly what he really is, an “Enemy of the State”!!! Is there not one American, with the courage to openly call out Obama for wht he actually is, “An America Hater, Black Racist & Muslim Terrorist, Adoree???
The good news is, Americans of all political stripes are flocking by the millions to view the magnificent film “American Sniper”!!! America, under Obama has been put purposely in mortal harm’s way....but hope springs eternal...that maybe the American people are finally waking up to the real fact, that POTUS Obama is not one of us....but, his soul belongs solely to his most beloved, Islamist terrorist “Muslim Brotherhood”!!! God help & protect us from a devastating “Homeland Attack”!!!
One more observation on State of the Union speech, “I won twice”, yeah, and lying ‘if you like your heath plan’ ect, and the media shilling for you i.e. Candy Crowly ect, is not something good honest people would be proud of. The rest of us should prepare for more bad judgement and poor decisions.
