Isn’t it amazing how the Democrats are just fine with leaving with unfinished business.  I hope all the folks are watching and noting how much their Liberal Democrats care about the country and our incomes.

The President may, under Article II, Section 3 of the Constitution of the United States of America, compel the House of Representatives and Senate to convene in special session. Please request that he do so here.

NEPAconservative says: Note that Gallup is reporting again Congressional Approval poll has resulted in the lowest approval rating for Congress ever recorded: 14%. Keep up the good work Democrats.

This woman has flipped her lid !  She has a Planet to save.  If we only knew better than mommy Pelosi. Just watching this woman talk it is clear she is drunk with power and is suffering from some form of empty nest syndrome. 

I remember Sean Hannity saying that he feared someday we will wake up and have to say the words Speaker of the house Nancy Pelosi.  Well there she is doing exactly what she does best, dishing out SanfranSicko government to the rest of the USA.

NEPAConservative says: With out a doubt this IS the most honest, open and ethical Congress ever !

Obama figures out how to save oil !!!

July 30th, 2008 · 1 Comment

Just when I was having writers block somebody sat on the cord to Barack Obama’s teleprompter.  Here is another well thought out piece of advice from “President of the World” Barack Obama:  “We could save all the oil that they’re talking about getting off drilling if everybody was just inflating their tires and getting regular tune-ups. You could save just as much.”
 
I wonder if he keeps the tires on his SUV at the proper pressure.

Pelosi competing with Obama for Messiah job.

July 29th, 2008 · 5 Comments

Just when you think it can’t get anymore weird Nancy Pelosi today says: ‘I’m trying to save the planet’. She wants to save the world and Barack wants to be the president of the world.  Maybe she should start small and try and save the United States first.  If it needs saving that is….

“I’m trying to save the planet; I’m trying to save the planet,” ““I respect the office that I hold,” she says. “And when you win the election, you win the majority, and what is the power of the speaker? To set the agenda, the power of recognition, and I am not giving the gavel away to anyone.”

Are you getting the feeling that Queen Nancy is getting a little power hungry ?  This is a pretty unbelievable statement considering she and her liberal do nothings have a 9% approval rating these days.

NEPAConservative says: Here is Nancy Pelosi’s email: AmericanVoices@mail.house.gov. Somebody please explain to her why she’s ”9% Miss America.”

Pelosi Blocks Gas Price Relief w/ Fact Check

July 29th, 2008 · 1 Comment

Here is a blatant cut and paste because I couldn’t possibly say this stuff better myself !  First is a really great article on Obstructionist Nancy Pelosi and then some supporting documenatiom from Fact Check.org.  These 2 cut and pastes show that the Democrats are actually working against the people that they “care about and represent.” No to Drilling and Oil.  Lies about the 68 Millions acres of land available to oil companies.  All Lies !!!  The only place these Rats care to drill is in our pockets.  Just think, it’s their policies over the last 2 years that have put a drain on our pockets, not Dick Cheney and Carl Rove.  Imagine if you had a job for 2 years, did nothing and blamed the president of the company.  You’d be gone !  Read on…

Pelosi Blocks Gas Price Relief
By Henry Lamb
July 29, 2008

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi told CNN that she would block any vote to allow offshore drilling. This remarkable stance comes in the face of the latest poll that says 73 percent of Americans favor offshore drilling, while only 27 percent oppose it. Nancy Pelosi again displays her contempt for her employer, the American people. Her arrogance and wrong-headed philosophy have led Congress to an approval rating of a staggering 14 percent, the lowest ever.

The arguments she advances in defense of her position are, at best, silly, and at worst, devious. She says she will not allow additional reserves to be drilled because oil companies already hold leases on 68 million acres of federal land that are not being drilled. She ignores the testimony of oil company representatives who tell her that had they found oil under these lands, they would be pumping it. The oil companies need to drill where the oil is.

There is plenty of oil to drill. Known reserves offshore, in Alaska, the Bakken fields of North Dakota and Montana, and elsewhere, can meet the energy demand for at least 100 years. But Pelosi and her colleagues don’t want this oil produced. Pelosi says that it will take 10 years for this new oil supply to reach the pump, and then, it would reduce the price by only two-cents per gallon. This price projection is pure fiction.

As an alternative, she says the president should release 70 million barrels of oil from the strategic reserves, which would provide immediate price relief. Is this silly, stupid, or just more of Pelosi’s political doublespeak? This alternative would supply less than four days of the U.S. demand, which would not likely even be noticed at the pump. It would do nothing to solve the underlying problem of too little supply.

Pelosi, like Al Gore, wants to end America’s reliance on oil, and switch to new, exotic, yet-to-be-developed energy sources such as wind, solar, hydrogen, and in particular, electric cars. America has been investing heavily in research in all these areas for years. Some significant progress has been made. No one in their right mind — which includes Al Gore — can think this new technology can be available within the next ten years, with enough distribution to make hydrogen filling stations and recharging for electric cars viable options. It is certain, however, that by developing known oil reserves, the U.S. energy demand can be met in 10 years, or less.

There is a big disconnect between the rush to convert automobiles to batteries, and the reality that the electricity to recharge those batteries would require a massive new generating capacity. The same flawed excuse of “protecting the environment,” has also blocked the expansion of electricity generating capacity. If the self-appointed gods of environmental protection won’t allow the expansion of electricity generation, how are the batteries of all these new electric vehicles going to be recharged every night?

Another major disconnect between the rush to replace oil with renewable sources such as wind and solar is the negative environmental impact of these renewable technologies. For example, to replace a single 50-megawatt coal-fired generating plant, which may occupy as much as 20 acres of land, approximately 3,000 acres of land would have to be occupied by wind turbines. To produce 50-megawatts of electricity from solar panels would virtually cover even more land. How can these protectors of the environment justify blanketing the land with whirling bird-killers and solar panels that block the sun from all forms of life beneath them?

Some environmental purists genuinely want America and the world to return to the stone-age. Nancy Pelosi is no environmental purist. She is a political creature, which is a person so intoxicated by power that the instinct to retain and expand it overwhelms common sense, logic, ethics, morality, or anything else that might get in the way.

By her refusal to even allow debate on proposals to expand oil development — where oil is known to exist — she stands like a barricade between thirsty consumers and a new mountain stream. She apparently sees herself as a self-appointed savior; she is, in truth, acting as judge and jury, condemning a nation desperate for more energy to spiraling energy costs for possibly another generation.

This is not a new posture for Democrat leadership. Democrats in the House, the Senate, and the White House have blocked expansion of oil supplies for more than a decade. Had Bill Clinton not vetoed the bill that would have opened the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge more than a decade ago, gas prices would not be as high as they are today. Millions of jobs would have been created, and every American could have saved the money needlessly paid to foreign sources for oil, simply because one man played God and defied the express will of the people.

Nancy Pelosi is now playing God, standing where Bill Clinton stood more than a decade ago, defying the expressed will of the people by blocking access to the known oil reserves that are so desperately needed by the entire nation.

http://www.factcheck.org/askfactcheck/are_the_democrats_correct_in_stating_that.html

Q: Are the Democrats correct in stating that oil companies are leasing 68 million acres in the U.S. that are not being used?

A: Not exactly. More than 4,700 new holes are being drilled on current onshore leases.
Republicans, including presumptive GOP presidential nominee John McCain, have been arguing that the federal ban on drilling for oil on certain offshore lands should be lifted. President Bush, in fact, repealed the presidential ban on such drilling on July 14; Congress would still need to remove its restrictions before the land would be available for exploration. Many Democrats disagree with such plans, and they have been saying that the oil companies already have more land than they know what to do with.

On June 24, Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama used this argument in a speech in Nevada:
Obama (June 24): The oil companies already own drilling rights to 68 million acres of federal lands, onshore and offshore, that they haven’t touched. 68 million acres that have the potential to nearly double America’s total oil production.

The charge has been repeatedby Nancy Pelosi and others in his party.

Unused Acres?

According to the U.S. Department of the Interior’s Mineral Management Service, there are nearly 68 million acres of federal lands (onshore and off) that are part of non-producingleases as of fiscal year 2007. This is in contrast to 25.7 million acres of leased lands that are producing oil. So, there are 68 million acres of leased land on which companies aren’t extracting oil, but Obama went too far when he said oil companies “haven’t touched” them. As Bureau of Land Management Petroleum Engineer Bill Gewecke, who manages the onshore sites, told us, he “wouldn’t say untouched, [I] would say undeveloped.”

That’s because these leased lands that don’t contain productive drilling operations likely are not lying idle as Obama implies. There are a lot of steps and procedures involved in setting up a productive oil well on leased land, both onshore and off. The Bureau of Land Management’s Web site lists the regulatory hurdles that need to be cleared as part of the larger five-step life cycle of a well. The path to setting up an offshore drilling operation is even longer, as shown in a large flow chart developed by the MMS.

And there is a lot of activity occurring on leased lands that does not qualify as “production.” For 2006, the BLM reported that there were 77,257 productive holes onshore in the U.S. Beyond that, there were 6,738 applications for drilling permits, 4,708 holes in which companies had begun drilling and 3,693 where drilling had ended among onshore lands. That’s a total of more than 15,000 holes that were being proposed, started or finished that do not count as “productive” holes. And that doesn’t even include holes that might have been continually drilled throughout the year for exploratory reasons.

It’s not known how much of that drilling is taking place on leases currently classified as “non-producing” and how much is taking place on leases that are already producing oil. BLM’s Gewecke told usthat the agency does not track acreage that is being developed or explored. And Andy Radford, an analyst with the American Petroleum Institute, an industry trade association, told us that the oil companies are “very secretive about announcing where they are testing, exploring and thinking of drilling because the industry is very competitive.”

Global Warming broke my patio furniture !!!

July 18th, 2008 · 6 Comments

Breaking News: Global Warming broke my patio furniture !!!

Damn you George Bush !!! My patio furniture was the latest casualty of Global Warming.  Today somewhere in NEPA, a cloud of concentrated Carbon gathered over the top of my house and broke my patio furniture !  If this trend continues the world will be consumed by rising piles of broken patio tables.  Oh where will I eat my solar heated veggie burgers now :sad:

If anything this is the absolute proof that our planet is sick and has a fever. The only thing I can surmise is that the Global Warming winds were so strong that they picked up my glass table and dropped it.  The force that it took to lift the table had to be immense !  One of my neighbors claimed that they actually saw a polar bear flying through the air and landed some where in my backyard.  What else could have possibly happened. 

The only other theory I can come up with is ALGORE flew over my house in his private jet and released a few  large carbon credits thus destroying my table.

Needless to say this day will stay with me for the rest of my life.  I’ve learned my lesson !  It’s high time we sign that kye-o-tee treatment and end this global disaster.  I also saw, in my peace garden, one tomato plant wilt and fall over, no doubt another victim of global warming.

Later today I will talk to my neighbors about selling their SUV for the good of the community.  This has to stop !

Glenn Beck with another great performance.  This video shows all the lip service our elected officials have been paying us since the late 70’s.  It’s like the never ending campaign.

~NEPAConservative says: Hey, Oil is down on the week. Could it have something to do with Bush lifting executive order banning offshore drilling ?  The libs will have you believe conservation is the ONLY reason.  But most importantly, the best thing our government has done about the cost of oil is….ready……….

…..NOTHING !!! 

Speaker Pelosi was unable to comment since it’s hard to talk with a big ol foot in your mouth.

Oh yeah…FREE MARKET WINS AGAIN !

WILK Today: Drive 55 or Else !

July 15th, 2008 · 9 Comments

Drive 55 or Else seems to be the new mantra of the NEPA (Northeastern Pennsylvania) Liberal and Liberals everywhere. Well that and the words NO and CAN’T.  Once again they know what’s better for you, me and the rest of the country.  On my commute home today I tuned into our only talk radio station WILK and suffered through 45 minutes of Steve Corbett.  I wonder how many metric tons of carbon this nut puts out everyday on that mic.  Today like most other days Steve and many of his callers were going off the deep end.

The topics were conserving gas, pollution and the newly proposed 55 mile per hour speed limit.  Now I know NEPA is a pretty blue area when it comes to politics but it always surprises me to relearn this fact everyday.   Every call that I heard was from a self righteous, all knowing, highly intelligent liberal complaining about how fast everybody else drives and how they NEVER go over the speed limit.  What a burden this must be for them, driving 55 in a 65 mph zone.  This can’t be true since I travel interstate 81 every morning in my gas guzzlin Pontiac Grand Prix at 75mph bumper to bumper.  Then again, these are the people going to work. Those damn NASCAR Republicans !!!

First, we can thank “Sen. John Warner, R-Va for asking the Energy Secretary to investigate what speed limit would provide optimum gasoline efficiency given current technology. Warner said he wants to know if the administration might support efforts in Congress to require a lower speed limit.”  Whatchootalkingabout Warner ?!?!

Let’s put our feelings about this in simpler terms “I wonder which “Republican” senator will introduce a bill that suggests we all curl into the fetal position.”  (Last quote from fellow Freeper Ellery).  What kind of trash is the Republican party peddling these days ?  Why is it that these sorry excuses get to make all the bad decisions and we always get to make the concessions ?  Drill and stop putting this on the backs of the American public for a change!  Hey, I used the word Change in a sentence and I wasn’t talking about Barack Obama…  Thank god this RINO retired and wont be around after 2008.

Continuing, I heard some of the most outrageous ideas.  Ideas like putting governor’s on vehicles so we can’t drive faster than 55 mph and banning drive throughs at restaurants. Look at those Republicans just sitting there waiting for their meat polluting the environment ! Is this really what it’s come down to folks ???  The DC do nothings got us all so crazy that we’re pointing fingers at each other ?!?! Mission Accomplished.

Corbett even came back from one commercial break and claimed that SUV drivers cause more damage to this country than pot smokers.  Google drug related deaths and drug gangs and tell me he’s even close to the truth !  Can you say unhinged and out of touch liberal. You want to talk slippery slope, well here it is.  Were standing on the edge.  Talk about some of the most Anti-American ideas I have ever heard, banning drive throughs ?  This while all of our elitist elected officials sit on billions of gallons of oil.  When are we going to start down the path of real Energy independence ?

Here are some of the latest headlines from Drudge today:
The Problems
PELOSI: ‘The oilman in the White House is echoing the demands of Big Oil’…
Oil rebounds to near $145 barrel…
Chavez says could reach $300…
The Solution
President Bush to lift executive ban on offshore drilling…
The Other Problem:
Setting Up Showdown With Liberal Congress…

 

So there it is in a nutshell: Pelosi and the Liberal Senate says NO to drilling, the Congress is poised to say NO to drilling and their alli in Venezuela is determined to drive up the price by continuing his theft of oil companies that operate in his country. Oh and lets not forget about that little monkey that will be visiting the UN again…Ahmadinejad. So you tell me who’s team the Liberal Democrats are playing for ?

Pelosi 2006: Republican Congress is to blame.

July 11th, 2008 · 12 Comments

As seen on Michelle Malkin: In 2006 Nancy Pelosi says:
With skyrocketing gas prices, it is clear that the American people can no longer afford the Republican Rubber Stamp Congress and its failure to stand up to Republican big oil and gas company cronies. Americans this week are paying $2.91 a gallon on average for regular gasoline – 33 cents higher than last month, and double the price than when President Bush first came to office. 

“With record gas prices, record CEO pay packages, and record oil company profits, Speaker Hastert and the Majority Congress continue to give the American people empty rhetoric rather than join Democrats who are working to lower gas prices now.
http://www.house.gov/pelosi/press/releases/April06/Rubberstamp.html

OK so here is the kicker…chart from Gasbuddy.com

Does anyone see a problem here ?  Can you say lying opportunistic liberals ?  The only thing the liberals in congress care about is their survival and ability to control and manipulate the American people.  Nothing but Power hungry fascists !

So to recap:  It was the Republicans fault that gasoline prices were sky high at $2.29 per gallon but not the Democrats fault that it’s not $4.00 per gallon almost 2 years later.  They change the formulas to always benefit themselves.

Continuing, the Democrats to this day are still against: Oil and Nuclear.  The 2 the basic things that can keep our country running efficiently.  So what exactly is their energy plan ?  Pepper every square inch of our country with Wind Mills and Solar farms ? Use corn and make my steak and food more expensive ?  If you haven’t done it yet, sign this petition:

Drill here Drill now ! http://www.americansolutions.com/

Sign it or get more lip service from the party bought out by enivroextremists.  Below Nancy talks about their plan, their plan to lead our nation into energy NOT-independance !  Bow to your masters in the middle East Nancy !!!

AND SO IT BEGINS: Global Warming Stickers

July 7th, 2008 · 5 Comments

The LEFT COAST is leading the charge for the new and coming “GREEN” industry. California is now making it mandatory for cars to be labeled with global warming scores.  If they would just put out their fires and manage their forests, the rest of us wouldn’t have to suffer the effects of stupidity.

I wonder what criteria they will use to rate these cars.

Cigarette Lighter: -1 Algores
Air Conditioner: -5 Algores
Gas Combustion Engine: -10 Algores
Biodegradable seats made from Hemp: +7 Algores
Radio that only tunes in to AirAmerica: +3 Algores

Soon dealers will be selling this to us as a feature and insurance companies will be giving us Global Warming discounts.  All of this based on the same junk science that got DDT banned. But wait we have no time to loose !!! Temperature has increased 1.33° F.  Living in NEPA according to my calculations temperature has decreased by 2 stiff nipples in the last year.

New York is expected to add these Global Warming scores to their vehicals by 2010. Soon the rest of us will have to swallow this BS and be forced to pay extra for an Eco-friendly roadsters.

Global warming scores will be included on California’s DriveClean website.

 
Pictured above it’s cha cha cha Chia Car.  This car happens to only be a +9 Algores.  Second generation will have a few trees and a Caribou.  Augh it’s only going to get better folks !

No Nuclear plants, No clean coal, No Oil exploration and No to Windmills (they ruin the scenery).  The party of No we can’t has got us into this energy mess over the last 30 years. Barack Obama and company plan on making it worse.  Below is the latest clueless statement from the left wings lead man.

Green not that Clean…

June 29th, 2008 · 3 Comments

Talk about trampling the constitution !!! Congress wants to ban incandescent light bulbs by 2014. Legislating that you must buy CFL light bulbs. Did you know today that all CFL light bulbs are made in China ? The Democrats are actually legislating our money into the pockets of the Chinese. The below video is of Representative Ted Poe from Texas talking about CFL light bulbs on the house floor. Ted points out that these lights do not live up to the billing that they get. (pardon the pun)

Here is the EPA site Rep. Ted Poe talks about:
http://www.epa.gov/bulbrecycling/

So take note that the Democrats Energy plan includes saving the enviroment by poinsoning the ground with mercury made in China.

The Bob Casey Jr. Energy Policy: America can’t.

June 24th, 2008 · 6 Comments

Pennsylvania Democratic Senator Robert Casey along with his brother in abortion Barack Obamanation says that America can’t drill its way out of dependence on foreign oil. Also Casey is calling for an investigation into oil speculators who profit on the high cost of oil… and for oil companies to use their huge profits to lower the cost of gasoline for consumers.  Yeah that will work for us consumers Bobby.

America can’t drill its way out of dependence on foreign oil ?  More investigations $$$
Listen here to Dee Dee Dee Casey

Drill here Drill Now ! that America can drill her way out of dependence on foreign oil.  STOP THE INSANITY, offshore oil will take approximately 2 years to get into the supply NOT 10. Doing nothing isn’t getting us anywhere. Think about how much oil would be right now if we did what we had to do 10 years ago.  With respect to the 10 year argument if it’s going to take 10 years, when would be a good time to start ? This argument is getting old !

Sign the Drill here Drill now petition and let Booby Casey know

NOW LETS TALK ABOUT REAL ENERGY INDEPENDENCE…Nuclear Energy.

Yeah…you guessed it, the Democrats are against that as well. 

The real solution to our energy problems goes something like this: Drill in ANWR and offshore and start sucking the oil-shale dry ! Build “lotsa” Nuclear plants. Bring hybrid/electric/hydrogen fuel cell cars to front and center. In the meantime…find that next great politically correct energy source that the Democrats are looking for and color it green baby !

Now, can somebody answer me this riddle ?
Where is the 68 million leased acres that the oil companies are not drilling on ? Does anyone know ?
