The following blog nails it when it comes to gas prices, socialism and what King Hussein said on this topic. The left must be defeated on all fronts. The truth is that the left and the right are irreconcilable. This is how you do it. (HT thehamptonnews.com)
Time to stop rising gas prices before its too late
Why are gas prices going up again?
When President Bush was in office, gas prices exceeded $4 per gallon. Gas prices started going down within days, after President Bush signed an executive order allowing offshore drilling for oil.
During his campaign for president, President Obama said he did not have a problem with gas being $4 a gallon. He said he had a problem with gas prices getting to $4 so fast.
Notice President Obama is not saying a word about the steady increase in gas prices. Why? Because it is increasing slowly.
In 2007, U.S. refineries produced 90 percent of the gasoline used in the United States. Ten countries account for approximately 87 percent of all U.S. crude oil imports.
If President Obama wanted the price of gasoline to come down, all he has to do is announce that all oil drilling in the United States, including on shore, offshore and in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, is a priority. Then, start announcing how many new wells start producing each month.
We are going to be forced to drive smaller, more efficient cars. Death rates in vehicle accidents will increase. Gas prices will double. State and federal taxes on gasoline will increase.
Then, we will be forced to pay a tax on each mile we drive, because tax revenues will be down because of the better mileage. We will be paying more for less. In the end, we will be driving a smaller car that costs us more to drive per mile and that we are more likely to get killed in.
How many freedoms are you going to allow the government to take away from you before you do something? Please do not wait until you see a strange flag flying over our Capitol.
