Was Jimmy Carter right?

Yes, he was right. Many people have known that this mess was coming unless something was done. But politicians, because of votes and big special interest money, did nothing.

 

This "mess" was created by the liberal left period. His prophecy was self fulfilling.

 

The liberal left all bought SUVs and moved 20 miles from their place of employment. None of the righteous right did anything that foolish.

 

Rev, this is your answer to anything that you don't agree with or can't dispute: Slap a LIBERAL label on it and blame it for all your problems. It's an old, tired strategy that sensible people don't fall victim to anymore. Drop it and try to make some reasonable comments on the topic at hand, even if you don't agree that Jimmy Carter was right. Not agreeing is a perfectly reasonable position.

And another cow flew by. What a ridiculous statement.

 

He was right about that? U.S. oil dependence has not increased since 1977?

 

Just who is it that opposes drilling anywhere?

Just who is it that opposes creating more refineries?

Just who is it that opposes nuke plants?

All these are needful resources for energy and the lack of them has resulted in our current energy situation.

In the end if you don't like my posts put me on ignore. Strange though... there are a number of people who claim not to be liberal on this board but get awfully upset when liberals are revealed for their ungodly agenda's

 

Really is amazing, is it not???:applause::thumbs:

 

* Emphasis mine.


This is Step # 2. If the LIBERAL label doesn't work, slap the UNGODLY label on them.

You have a choice Tim. You can follow me around the board stressing over this or you can ignore my posts.

 

Surely you don't think that being against drilling, refineries and nuclear energy constitutes being "ungodly" do you?

BTW, I am a democrat and I am for drilling more oil wells, building more refineries, and creating more nuclear energy. You see, we are not all alike.

 

Naa..... adressing tow separate issues.

Not all Dems are libs. I do not make that distinction clear enough at times.

 

Refining gasoline from coal (if that's what you meant) is a much more complex and expensive operation than refining from crude oil. Therefore hollering for more drilling and more refineries only when demand is exceeding supply is illogical. If there hasn't been a refinery built in 30 years (as I read), that puts the blame on 5 presidents and 15 Congresses. Instead they've all just blocked certain of our own oil-rich areas from production.

But I won't say this is all bad. Cheap fuel leads to irresponsiblity and creating a way of life that cannot be supported forever. But apparently it will take 10, or maybe 15 or 20, dollars per gallon gasoline to make people drive sparingly, slowly, and only with necessity. Snobbery-- luxary cars and big SUV's over economy cars-- is a hard thing to give up, as a certain rich man who talked to Jesus revealed. Somehow things will change. But in the meantime, I have been making thousands buying and selling penny-stock oil companies, and I expect another payday tomorrow; on Friday the market usually rallies, making it a sell day.

 

Now that was udderly funny!
