AmusingComments Off on The Price Of Oil Rose 8% Today
Jun072008
Oil prices rose $11 per barrel today, closing at $139/barrel.
Now, you might ask yourself ‘What was the price of a barrel of crude in 1990?’
$10/barrel.
That’s right, oil prices rose more today, than a whole barrel of oil cost in 1990.
You might ask yourself ‘Why is that?’
Simple. In the past 30 years:
Democrats have blocked the development of new sources of petroleum. Democrats have blocked drilling in ANWR. Democrats have blocked drilling off the coast of Florida. Democrats have blocked drilling off of the east coast. Democrats have blocked drilling off of the west coast. Democrats have blocked drilling off the Alaskan coast. Democrats have blocked building oil refineries. Democrats have blocked clean nuclear energy production. Democrats have blocked clean coal production.
AmusingComments Off on Newt Gingrich: Drill Here, Drill Now, Pay Less

I am glad to see a petition like this. The Liberal left has put us in a weakened position as they have made us dependent on other countries that seek our destruction to provide for our fuel needs.
Sign the petition which will make your stance clear to our representatives that you demand real solutions to this energy crisis that has the potential to cripple America.
I signed it already. If nothing else, it’ll piss off the corrupt politicians.
American Solutions for Winning the Future announced today that more than 100,000 Americans have now signed a petition urging Congress to immediately start drilling for oil domestically to ease gas prices. The petition is part of the “Drill Here, Drill Now, Pay Less” campaign American Solutions launched last week.
The petition reads:
“We, therefore, the undersigned citizens of the United States, petition the U.S. Congress to act immediately to lower gasoline prices by authorizing the exploration of proven energy reserves to reduce our dependence on foreign energy sources from unstable countries.”
Next week, American Solutions will deliver the signatures, gathered from citizens in all 50 states, to the U.S. Senate as a first step toward stopping the destructive Warner-Lieberman bill which would raise the cost of gasoline, diesel fuel, heating oil, and aviation fuel.
According to American Solutions’ research, 73% of the American people agree that with appropriate safeguards to protect the environment, we should drill for oil off America’s coasts to reduce our dependence on foreign oil. This belief is so widespread it is supported by a majority of Democrats, Republicans, and independents.
“Our message of ‘Drill Here, Drill Now, Pay Less’ is clearly resonating with hard-working Americans who are struggling to pay for rising gas prices,” said Dave Ryan, American Solutions Executive Director. “The voices of more than 100,000 Americans are demanding that Congress offer real solutions to our energy challenges, and that begins with drilling for oil now.”
