Buying oil from our enemies has got to be the most insane idea ever. The United States produces the cheapest, cleanest oil and gas with the lowest amount of CO2 emissions in the entire world.

Energy dependence has become a national security emergency. The craziness of the far left’s false prophets of environmental doom, preaching near immediate apocalyptic destruction of earth, is beyond the pale. If The Church of the Environmental gets its way, only their anointed leaders will have access to the necessities of life. So much for their so called concern for the poor.

Look around your homes and you will discover, if you don’t already know, petroleum products are a necessary ingredient in nearly everything we own and in, direct and indirect ways, all that we eat. The poor of the world will be the first to suffer and we will be next.

As in all socialistic/communist countries the leaders will bask in the riches they confiscate from us, while we the people stand in line to buy bread. We, like sheep, we are being led on a path that leads to destruction. It is time to change our direction before it is too late.
