I acquired a new troll and he sounds like he is straight from the Dimocratic Underground. I mean it's the same old bullshit talking points that they spout over and over and over again ad infinitem:
1. Bush Lied.
2. Bush and bin Laden are buddies.
3. We deserved 9/11
4. Everything in the Middle East is Israel's fault.
5. Haliburton.
6. It's all about the oiiil.
Hey asshole, you left out how Bush stole the election and Ashcroft is a Nazi. You're slipping butthead.
He also called me and my readers a bunch of hillbilly rednecks. He's right ya know. My neighbors in Beautiful Dunwoody have been bitching about the two cars I have up on blocks in my front yard. They're also not too fond of the washing machine and refrigerator I have on the front porch. And my coon dogs keep 'em up all night. Didja know that when my television broke, I went out and bought another one and put it on top of the broken one? And to top it all off, my sister is livin' in a trailer parked in my driveway. Now where the fuck did I put that jug of corn squeezins?
Arentcha tired of <whine>"It's all about the oiiil. Bush and Cheney are owned by the oiiil companies."</whine>?
OK. Let's just pretend it is all about the oiiil. All of you stupid left wing banana slugs can do sumpin' about it.
If it's all about the oiiil sell your car.
If it's all about the oiiil don't take the bus. The bus uses oiiil.
If it's all about the oiiil don't fly. Airplanes use oiiil.
If it's all about the oiiil write to your senator and congressman and demand that they open up ANRW.
If it's all about the oiiil demand more offshore drilling.
Isn't it amazing that the same people who keep bitching about Iraq being all about the oiiil are the same nutsacks who won't let us drill for more oiiil here in the United States? Makes 'em look pretty fucking stupid doesn't it? That's why I call them Dimocrats.
But I digress.
If it's all about the oiiil let the utility companies build more nuclear power plants to replace oiil fired plants.
If it's all about the oiiil quit using plastic products.
If it's all about the oiiil don't buy any food in the grocery store. That food gets there on trucks which use oiiil. Grow your own food.
If it's all about the oiiil turn off your air-conditioner. The electricity may have been generated at an oil fired plant.
If it's all about the oiiil turn off your lights. Same reason as above.
If it's all about the oiiil sell your house and move into a hut. Your house was built with lumber that was cut down with chainsaws that use oiiil. It was transported in trucks that use oiiil.
If it's all about the oiiil let us build more dams to generate electricity instead of worrying about a fucking fish or frog.
If it's all about the oiiil give up all creature comforts since most of them are connected in one way or another with oiiil.
Since you dipsticks are not willing to allow us to do anything to acquire more oiiil, you're not willing to let us use alternate sources of energy that work today (nuclear and hydroelectric), and you're not willing to make sacrifices on your own why don't you have a big ol' glass of STFU. You pissants are part of the problem.
Solar and wind are still not practical, but here's a deal. Why don't you buttwipes agree to get all your power from solar and wind and put up with the extra cost and unreliability? No? Why not? It would save a lot of oiiil. Isn't that what you want? Oh, I get it. You want me to suffer because you are a bunch of fucking idiots.
Here's my solution. Round up all the environmentalist wackos and ship them off to the Amazon and let them get back to nature. Ooops! Clancy already did that in Rainbow Six.
Here's my other solution.
1. Open up ANRW. Now! Today!
2. More offshore drilling.
3. Build more nuclear power plants.
4. Do absolutely nothing about the price of gasoline. Let the market set the price. We went through this back in the late seventies and early eighties. When gas gets too expensive, people will alter their behavior. They'll drive less or buy more fuel efficient cars.
5. Build more refineries.
6. Come up with one blend of gasoline for the entire country. Having fourteen different blends is stupid and raises the price of gasoline.
For the future.
As much as I want to see advances in space flight I say forget about Mars. Instead launch a challenge like Kennedy did in 1961. Start a Manhattan project to come up with alternate energy sources and completely wean us from Middle East oiiil within twenty years. Then we can tell the camel jockeys to go fuck themselves.
And then we won't have to listen to the whiney liberals say, "It's all about the oiiil".
Wouldn't that be pleasant?
You forgot about the TP that they wipe their arses with. Not that most trolls don't smell bad anyway.
Posted by: Bob Jenkins on May 23, 2004 10:44 PMWell, I own a little bit of ChevronTexaco stock that my grandpa left me after he died. I guess I'm gonna be a fat profiteer off all this ooooooooiiiiillll. Bush, Cheney and their evil Corporate Oil Cabal better get on the job.
Posted by: Eric on May 24, 2004 02:53 AMI have an interesting post on my blog on The Price of Gas.
Quite frankly, I am getting very tired of hearing this war for oil nonsense. Why go all the way to Iraq, just for oil. Hell we can invade Mexico and take their oil and also stop illegal immigration. Then on to Venezula. Kick that commie right out of office all the way to Cuba. On to Bolivia next, they are landlocked and need a natural pipeline to the sea. They have more natural gas then they can ever use there. Of course that may mean taking out Peru, but then again we can stamp out the coca growers in Peru and help reduce the flow of cocaine.
Posted by: Sailor in the Desert on May 24, 2004 04:25 AMI think we should use up the rest of the world's oil before we get serious about tapping into our oil deposits. Then, when other countries are back to using the horse and buggy or using alternative fuel sources we can still drive our SUVs.
Posted by: Mixlesplick on May 24, 2004 08:26 AMHay I am one of your readers and I am anywhere near hillbilly country, ok bieng in Phoenix is concidered 4ft from Hell. But anyway we get our gas via pipeline from El Paso and Califorina and generaly pay more then the rest of the country for it, especially when the pipeline breaks. I liked the comment about Rainbow Six, I just read that one last week, Clancy had the right idea on what to do with the Tree Huggers.
Posted by: Greg DiCroce on May 24, 2004 12:46 PMIt is about the oil so what. Oil supplies are not infinite and when the oil in the middle east is used up the arabs can sit in their desert and pound sand up each others asses. Then and only then should we increase drilling in our reserves. There are a large multitude of oil wells in Texas that have been capped for years til we need the oil. Piss on the rag heads and the tree huggers. Alternative sources of energy such as wind and sun should be used now and research to improve them should be continued at an accelerated pace.
Posted by: Cody on May 24, 2004 04:29 PMActually, a trip to Mars would require creating and commercializing new sources of power and propulsion that are self-contained, reliable and safe.
This technology could be applied to commercial travel, freight carriers (trains, ships, planes). The materials create could build strong, lighter vehicles that are safe to drive with electric power only and not the tiny death-machines we have now or the ridiculously dangerous hydrogen fuel tank bombs-on-wheels.
Materials and technologies created for the space program are in use everywhere today.
Little known fact: Congress demanded the designs for the only US heavy-lift rocket called Staturn V be destroyed in exchange for funding the Space Shuttle (aka Space Scuttle) program.
And now it's been so long no one remembers all of the details (or those who did have have since died) and engineering that went into building the Saturn V.
The problems we have aren't Capitalism, its the US political system and alternately Congress or the current President. Thing's would be war more advanced now if the government would just GET OUT OF OUR WAY.
Posted by: Neo on May 24, 2004 04:55 PMI jez got one question for anyone who knows, because I'm watching these Air America twits on Tough Crowd with Colin Quinn talk about how we're in Iraq to maintain control and our EMPIRE.
We had sanctions on Iraq (and of course were accused of being genocidal killers of 500,000 Iraqis because of it by some lefties.) When we had these sanctions, I'm ASSUMING we weren't trading oil with Iraq, am I correct? They had that crappy UN Oil For Food program because they were restricted under the sanctions. We had those sanctions there for 12 years.
I don't remember our oil economy suffering a lot during those 12 years. So unless I'm wrong about those sanctions, this seems to be yet another strike against the oil BS.
I just don't see why certain liberals cannot imagine that maybe, just maybe Bush went to Iraq because he thought they were a threat, they weren't abiding by the UN resolutions created at the end of the Gulf War, and had weapons that could end up in terrorist hands. It always has to be some nefarious plot to extract profits from and oppress poor countries. Always.
Posted by: Eric on May 26, 2004 02:52 AMHey, I'm a "Red Neck" and proud of it. Even if I am from Ohi-ho. Them damned "Krat's" are every where. I think there ought to be a huntin season on em. No bag limits. Personally, I think we should do exactly what the rest of the world accuses us of doing. Take control in Iraq, and start pumping oil only to the US. Got no luv fer them thar rag heads.
