I realize that this comes from another opinion piece, but it is sooo true:

Conservation reduces Fulton County water use by 30 percent. So rates will be increased by 15 percent. Classic monopoly, which is why most liberals would nationalize the oil companies. Take the profits for “social good” and tax up the price to force people out of the hated SUVs.

This is exactly what has happened in Europe. Norway, one of the world’s largest oil producers, also has a state oil monopoly. Gas prices are some of the highest in the world.

You folks complain about too much oil consumption and then start screaming about the price of oil. Please make up your mind.

As for the city of Atlanta, this is practically criminal. People have done everything they can to reduce water consumption, and yet the incompetents who gave us a $140 million deficit are finding new ways to stick it to the taxpayers - with a new tax diguised as a fee. My solution - reduce my water consumption by 15% more to negate any gain.

{{{{T. BOONE PICKENS: According to the crude oil report, as of today [March 12] we have imported crude oil at the cost for $1.4 billion for the week. Multiply 52 weeks times $1.4 billion.

{{{{ If I were the United States, it would be very disturbing to me to see anybody thinking about transporting any oil from North America to Asia. We let ourselves down if we don’t capture that. Now you’ve got the Democrats talking about taxing it all and they have got the Canadians stirred up [on NAFTA] that they’re going to change that. Canadians don’t like to hear that type of conversation and the people of the United States who are doing the talking about it don’t understand energy, because the last thing you’d want to do is to be at odds with Canadians on NAFTA and have some of that oil cut off from you and let it go to Asia. The Canadians are openly discussing this. They don’t like NAFTA changes that the United States has talked about.}}}}

Ayers was a featured speaker at this idiotic event which featured such progressive events as:

ANARCHIST AND RADICAL BOOKFAIR AND FREE SCHOOL REVOLUTIONARY SOCCER TOURNAMENT AND PEOPLE’S PICNIC* WAKE UP THE EARTH PARADE* CONVERGE AGAINST CAPITALISM*

Excellent letter to the editor from the Seattle Times.

We need to airdrop food, water and medicine into Myannmar with or without the approval of the U.N. or China:

Government officials and relief agencies from around the world rightfully have been very critical of the lack of concern and cooperation for global relief efforts from the Myanmar junta. Daily, the world is now seeing how despicable it is. The Burmese have had to endure this for decades.

For a brief time, the U.N. talked of air-dropping aid shipments — with or without the blessings of the Myanmar regime — to the hundreds of thousands who are in need and are cut off either physically or politically from the rest of the world. The idea was quickly quashed by the U.N., with China voicing one of the strongest objections [“Cyclone damaged Myanmar ‘rice bowl,’ ” News, May 8].

Due to the lack of food and fresh water required by hundreds of thousands, the death toll is now rising exponentially. Disease is also running rampant. [“Myanmar cyclone death toll soars above 43,000,” News, May 15.]

Carpe diem, President Bush! You have already established that you will invade a country without the blessings of the United Nations. I implore you to do it again today! Not with arms and munitions, but with open arms. Let this be the largest humanitarian invasion in world history. Start airdropping basic necessities that the people need to survive.

A person in your position will always be criticized, but by taking positive action the people of Myanmar, the world and history will applaud you.

This is my plea for humanity.

Truthman - you folks are always saying that we should not act unilateally and that EVERYTHING should be done through the auspices of the (dis)United Nations. Well, which is it? Unilateral action when it pleases you and complete and total bureaucratic paralysis when you are opposed. If we did everything you libs want - Sudan, Rwanda, Burma, etc… we would be involved in about 10 wars across the globe, not just two.

You folks keep saying that we are not the world’s policeman, but you keep advocating that we do just that. I too am outraged by what the Socialist government in Burma is doing, and what they have been doing for the last 45 years, but we cannot violate international law all over the place, overfly the two most populous nations in the world and endanger the security of one of our best allies, Thailand. One has to weigh the consequences of such an action. If you think that Iraq is messy, just imagine what it would be like to get involved in southeast Asia again!

For all of you folks who are concerned about the price of oil and want to blame it on Bush, Cheney and anyone else who ever had ties to the AMERICAN oil business just please read this about one of your great heroes:

Associated Press, May 16, 2008

BOGOTA, Colombia — The onus is now on Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez to explain evidence of his apparently intimate ties to Colombia’s main guerrilla army.

Interpol on Thursday endorsed the authenticity of computer files seized in a rebel camp, announcing that Colombia did not tamper with documents indicating Chavez sought to finance and arm the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, or FARC.

Venezuelan officials set up contacts with Australian arms dealers and arranged for missile training in the Middle East, according to the documents, which were on computer hard drives seized by Colombia and obtained by the Washington Post.

President Bush tried to force Congress to eliminate subsidies to farmers who make more than $200,000 a year, so at least the benefits wouldn’t go to the wealthy.

He tried to change how the U.S. provides international food aid. Buy food in the poor countries where it will be consumed, he argued, so huge dollars don’t have to be spent on shipping it overseas from the U.S. But Congress would have none of that.

Why are we even having a debate over farm subsidies in the midst of sky-high crop prices and a global food crisis? Why don’t members of Congress revolt over this wasteful spending?

Here’s the gambit that the farm lobby employs to perpetuate the larceny, a tactic it has perfected over decades. Congress writes a farm bill every five years that includes all agricultural programs. Sixty-seven percent—that’s more than two of every three dollars in the bill—goes to food stamps and other emergency food help for the poor. The outrageous subsidies come out of the other dollar.

This one can’t be blamed on Bush.

ITN - please cite ANYWHERE in Bush’s speech where he mentioned any Demagogue (oops Democrat) by name. I think he could have been talking about any number of European, Asian, Australian, African, South American or North American politicians. In fact, if he had any Democrat in mind it was probably Old Dummy Carter. I think that he must have hit a nerve.

However, the blatant hypocrisy on this is too much. Remember how you said that Bush and other conservatives had no right to criticize the Dixie Chics when they were in London and criticized the president - which they had every right to do, however STUPID it was.

However, in this particular case, he happens to be RIGHT, CORRECT, EXACTLY on point. You folks are ultrasensative to the fact that Obama has promised Chamberlain like behavior if elected President.

Chavez is funding FARC rather than feeding his people.

Interpol’s forensic capabilities far outstrip those of Colombia. By bringing Interpol into the investigation, Colombia successfully gained credibility for its claims against Venezuela and Ecuador. Although the official reading of the seized documents has not been released, a great deal of information has been leaked to the press regarding FARC activities. Allegations include the following claims:

* Venezuela has offered to help FARC obtain surface-to-air missiles. * Ecuadorian President Rafael Correa accepted $100,000 from FARC during his 2006 presidential campaign. * Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez used a trip to Belarus and connections with Victor Sheiman, secretary of the Belarusian Security Council, to funnel arms to FARC. * FARC has established cells in 17 countries, under the aegis of a leftist group called the Bolivian Continental Coordinator.

Chavez has his own little OFF (Oil for Food) scandal going on. He has cash flow problems. Selling off his country’s resources for influence. His people are starving.

In April, year-on-year inflation on food prices hit 41.5 percent in Venezuela. Shortages of basic staples such as rice, milk and eggs have been widely reported throughout the country.

Goldie - Bush and Rice have said repeatedly that they will NOT sit down alone with the North Koreans. But the fact remains, thanks to Old Dummy and Billy the Rapist, that the North Koreans ALREADY have nuclear weapons. North Korea is a special case simply because a former President and current IDIOT keeps sticking his nose in where it does NOT belong.

Should we sit down and negotiate with a man who sounds like he is reciting straight out of Mein Kampf? I think not. It won’t work anyway and it lends credibility to a very illegitimate regime.

Negotiating with Hamas or Hezbollah is right out. Should we also negotiate with the KKK? I think not. They are criminals and are to be eliminated.

Tough Competition

And for those wondering how the U.S. economy is avoiding recession, the answer may be in the latest world competitiveness report out of IMD Business School in Switzerland. It ranks the American economy as the most competitive for the 15th straight year.

It says the economy is the world’s strongest, topping all others in investments, stock purchases and commercial service exports. It says the U.S. is the easiest place to secure venture capital for business development. And, it writes the U.S. dominates all other economies in key technology criteria such as computers in use.

Project director Stephane Garelli says, “The U.S. always seems to find the means to reinvent itself in ways that Japan, and much of Europe, often lacks.”

Barack Obama sacks adviser over talks with Hamas

This was denounced as an offensive smear by Mr Obama, who repeated earlier statements saying that Hamas was “a terrorist organisation [and] we should not negotiate with them unless they recognise Israel, renounce violence”.

Iran’s on the list as a terrorist organisation too. They don’t recognize Israel.

Why is Obama willing to talk with one and not the other? Why did Obama dismiss a staffer for engaging with a terrorist group even though he, himself is willing to do the same?

I’m sure McBushie thinks he’s reaching out to his real base by pandering to the liberal blogosphere, but it would appear that in reality he’s opened up a whole new frontline for Operation Chaos.

Another IDIOT, Copyleft! Hamas is part of the government of Palestine which is a country IDIOT. Hamas is an irritant, a flea on the back of Israel. Is Hamas guilty of killing our troops in Iraq?

Iran IS guilty of killing our troops and PussObama wants to sit down and negotiate with them. Negotiate what?

Devil: Grow up. Cease crying “anti-semite” & “Racist.” That’s the same old crud. I am a REALIST. A thorough life has taught me that. Even as you, a member of the Racist Party, vomit forth your ignorance and varied hatreds here daily. I rarely answer on this blog. You will be my exception for today. You are one of “the little people,” clinging to your massive insecurities and whatever other illnesses your unfortunate “parents” afflicted you with decades ago. You are deeply over your head and out of your league - like many other inferiors here. You must somehow learn to remain in your proper place. I know that’s difficult for you hate disciples, but give it a try. Kay??

Devil, I noted your response regarding Jimmy Carter’s failed energy policy yesterday. The gas lines you refer to were created by the Arab oil embargo in 1973. JC took office in 77 and did organize a Department of Energy and warned the American people what would happen if we didn’t ‘tighten the belt’ so to speak, and conserve oil. I’m not going into a charade about why this was so unpopular; however, had we remained on course with conservation we wouldn’t be having the problems we have today. Many have found solar power in homes to be very effective. I believe President Reagan had the solar panels removed from the white house…….Anyhoo, GWB’s suggestion that our ‘problems’ were caused by lack of an energy policy will not hold water. No, it wasn’t Clinton’s fault. Again, I’m not going into all the drama in regards to the failure. I just think it’s quite humorous that ole JC was right about what would happen.

Mel - No you are a member of the racist party. You are the party of slavery, segregation, anti-semitism, the KKK and the Southern Manifesto. You are the party of biggotry, race-baiting, hate and Jeremiah Wright. Your condescending lecture to me proves that you are an effite, elitist snob with little common sense and less real education. Now go home to your mommy. I think she’s calling you.

[Former Clinton administration Middle East peace negotiator Rob Malley now heads the Middle East program of the International Crisis Group, an international conflict resolution nongovernmental organization. He has also been one of many informal advisers to Barack Obama’s campaign. ](http://www.motherjones.com/mojoblog/archives/2008/05/8216washingtonmid.html0

AND

But on certain issues, it’s vitally important that where they have no sunlight between them the GOP not get away with painting Obama as somehow weak or indecisive, or any of the standard canards they’ve been lobing at liberals for the past forty years. Obama didn’t hesitate to “fire” an “informal, outside” foreign policy adviser who spoke to Hamas as part of his real job in a conflict resolution think-tank, the International Crisis Group. [Just the sort of expert you might want some day to, you know, resolve the conflict there. No?] The man’s actions of course didn’t comport with Obama’s stated policy recognizing that Hamas is “a terrorist organisation [and] we should not negotiate with them unless they recognise Israel, renounce violence”.

Shawny - great toon. But the Demoncrats don’t want to tap into these for motives known and unknown, none of them having to do with the environment!

Madeleine Albright actually asserted at one point that it was wrong for the US to be so much richer and more powerful than other nations. Well, that’s liberal guilt for you. They will ensure poverty for all, that way we will all be equal.

Copyleft - I will reply to your assertion that Barak H. Obama has not said anything racist. By the way, I did not ask about Obama, but I will cite an example - his outrageous statement about the working class (white) folks in Pennsylvania clinging to their guns and religion and fearing those who are ‘different’. That certainly can easily be construed as racist.

Bill Clinton has also been accused of making racist statements lately. Robert C. ‘Sheets’ Byrd is still in the Senate. Alcee Hastings is still in the House of Representatives, and so is Maxine Waters.

By the way, you never answered my question. Typical, sweety.

little newsie namejacker,

Are you advocating that we bomb China and India into the stone age so that we can suspend the laws of supply and demand?

By Bosch

Mr. Devil and Shawny,

And what happens when that is gone?

As a tree hugging, granola crunching, Birkenstock wearing, radical environmentalist, I can say that my position is pretty simple:

I don’t have a problem with tapping into our domestic resources as long as we develop ways to use renewable resources for our energy needs to go along with it.

Eventually the oil will run out and it can not be replaced, and in the meantime, the demand for it in China is growing at a huge exponential rate compared to our country, and the supplies are dwindling more and more every day.

Personally, I’d love to see oil run out - it’s ruining our planet, but that’s just me.

Now, this is something I don’t know, so maybe one of you can help me out. Who owns the oil that we are calling “domestic reserves?” Is it the oil company that gets it out or the government? If it’s the oil companies, how are we even assured they will allow it to be used here? Couldn’t they make more $$$ selling it to China? Or since it is a limited supply, couldn’t they charge whatever $$$ they wanted?

We need to find renewable resources to run the stuff we have. We need to get off the oil teat. We need companies that put the interests of the country before $$$$, but that’s just my opinion.

Barack Obama: the new Great Redeemer

You will not see a finer example of the genre than the cover story of this week’s Newsweek, which was entitled “The O Team”. This rhapsodic inside account of Senator Obama’s campaign reads a little like a cross between Father Alban Butler’s Life of St Francis and the sort of authorised biography of Kim Jong Il you can pick up in any good bookshop in Pyongyang.

Barack Obama, “Our Dear Leader”. Has anybody here seen the special,”Inside North Korea”? The citizens have this glazed over look in their eyes when talking about Kim Jong. They don’t know anything different. A frightening comparison indeed.

(((If the past 40 years have taught us anything they have surely taught that premature canonisation is an almost certain guarantee of subsequent deep disappointment.)))

Enjoy membership in “The O-Team” orgy while it lasts. The “flush” will come over leftists soon enough. No doubt they’ll refer to it as “the afterglow”. Afterall, it’s WORDS that matter most - so says THEIR Dear Leader.

About your cartoon ml. Your leftist caddies here are a hole IN ONE, yours!

Putt putt.
