TEN DOLLAR GASOLINE

Do you know who Dr. Steven Chu is? Chu is our little known Energy Secretary. With little effort one can learn much of his biography. He is a strong advocate for the unproven junk science of “global warming.”  He famously said that he longs for our gasoline prices to reach the levels of European prices, now approaching ten dollars a gallon, which, he opines, would force us to abandon big cars and suburban sprawl requiring us instead to live as Europeans stacked on top of one another in big cities. He is cheering as the prices continue to rise. He is Obama’s main man.

Obama and his liberal crowd apparently don’t consider the fact that rising prices on gasoline takes away trillions of dollars consumers could and would be spending to help us out of this economic malaise we’re in. In fact the biggest single factor afoot today to stall our recovery is rising gas prices. Why do you think Obama  refused to allow the Keystone pipeline to be constructed? Why do you suppose he has forced closure of offshore drilling and exploration? Do you really think he cares about the environment? No, ladies and gentlemen, this is about social engineering. This is about enforcing a leftist idea and attitude on the unwashed masses who are too busy watching “American Idol” and texting their BFF to pay attention to the fact that their pockets are being picked and their futures are being destroyed.

A short time ago I wrote that Obama had the opportunity to show true leadership by approving the pipeline. He also had the opportunity to fail in that leadership by doing what he did. The rising gasoline prices are laid at the feet of Barak Obama and no one else. He cannot blame anyone else and he cannot spin his way out of it.

What is it going to take to wake up the American people?  Is it going to take ten dollar gasoline to get their attention?  If you think grocery prices are high now, what do you suppose will happen with ten dollar gas? You want to fly somewhere or ship something? You want to take a vacation?  Do you want to do something as old as the American people and just take a road trip? That may disappear forever unless we change out the bunch that has taken over our government in Washington. Can you imagine what would happen to small business when they cannot afford to pay to ship? Of course they would have to either downsize or just close down. Folks, this is serious. This isn’t just another election. This may well determine whether or not we, as a country, continue to exist.

Dr. Steven Chu is wrong. The Obama administration is wrong. We doubtless are experiencing global climate change, but this has been going on since the beginning of time. It is nothing new. The response and reaction by these few extremists could very easily set into motion a chain of events which may be irreversible. Wake up America. We have to stop this nonsense now.

Finally I would ask this question. Is this what you want? Are we headed in a direction you would choose? Will you be comfortable paying ten dollars for a gallon of gasoline? Are you ready to forever give up your American dreams and live like the stacked Europeans? Is it your desire to live under the dictatorship of a bloated government? If you think a trip to the DMV is bad now, imagine when everything you deal with is controlled by government. It will be the Post Office and the DMV all rolled into one.

We have a choice. We can change the direction of this country. We have the opportunity to once and for all to get rid of these morons who are ruining our way of life. It is up to you and me. If we don’t fix this mess, God help us.
