The New York Times, of all places ran a headline a while ago – “THE COUNTRY SAFE AT LAST.; FINAL ADJOURNMENT OF CONGRESS”; I think the grey lady unwittingly expressed the sentiments of all conservatives.
Congress in session, whether dominated by Democrats or Republicans (as now constituted), are unable to restrain themselves. Whether they engage in […]

How are Americans supposed to be accurately informed on important issue when we can’t trust the television news media to report fair and unbiased truths - when we have a media that focuses their reports on the tiniest detail of an issue that fits their left wing template, and ignores or spins the real substance of the issue to hide it from the public?

The last time oil and gasoline consumption were covered in this space was four years ago, when a gallon of gas was selling for two dollars twelve cents and Americans were out of their minds from righteous indignation. The more outraged among us were scheduling fruitless boycotts, mass-forwarding barely readable, thirteenth generation conspiracy theory emails, […]

With regards to securing oil from and for our own country in order to end or greatly reduce the rising oil price crisis, the Democrats new mantra is “we can’t drill our way out of it.” Wrong. Of course we can! Someone should tell the Democrat-run Congress that the way oil is secured is by […]

Few things illustrate Democrat’s penchant for preying on people’s fears better than Social Security. Proposing changes to Social Security produces hysteria from any Democrat near a microphone. Barack Obama is no different as evidenced by his comments earlier this week.
Speaking to a crowd of retirees in Ohio,

The Democrat anti-oil agenda has to backfire on them sooner or later. The people hardest hit by high gas prices are the very same people the Democrats pretend to represent and support - the poor and lower working class, those who tend to vote Democrat.

While grabbing a bite to eat for lunch, I turned on the television and MSNBC was broadcasting live a presentation John McCain was making somewhere. He does well in these relatively unscripted events, but when he got to the topic of the price of gasoline and how to reduce current and future pain at the […]

The just-stalled Senate bill to reduce greenhouse gas emissions reflects a basic doctrine of the socialist religion: government bureaucrats are smarter and more effective managers than businessmen and should be empowered to set the rules for running private business.
The attitudes and energies underlying the proposed Senate legislation to regulate emissions of greenhouse gases accord with […]

The price of oil is given by the cost of one barrel of oil. A barrel of oil is 42 gallons. At an oil price of $138 a barrel, the price of oil is $3.29 a gallon. Yet we wonder why gasoline costs $4 a gallon.

Even though no one expects it to become law this year, a desperate effort is underway to enact the so-called “Climate Security Act”, the brainchild of Senators Lieberman and Warner. As I have written before, among other horrors it would impose “cap-and-trade” mandates on anything that generates carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions and that pretty much […]
