Should I live in a big city because environmentalists say so? I suppose I should save a whale today too.



I live in America's countryside. Who in the hell can tell me where I am or am not ENTITLED to live.


Put a brick in your toilet to save water. I will live as I damn well please.

How that is no way for a comrad to talk about his brother comrad. You need to read your liitle red book before they put you in reeducation camp.Your not thinking politcally correct in that answer.

Let us see?

Live within 10 miles of work (unless you use public transit) - check

if you are healthy enough to walk - not right now but working on it.

Live near non work activites - check

The rest is nonsense. Besides where would you put the whale tank?

You cannot run out of oil if the liberals wont allow us to use it.

Here is a quote from your fearless lying Nancy Pelosi

She announced, "Democrats have a common-sense plan to help bring down skyrocketing gas prices by cracking down on price gouging, rolling back the billions of dollars in taxpayer subsidies, tax breaks and royalty relief given to big oil and gas companies, and increasing production of alternative fuels."

Mark Caserta: Democrats didn't deliver on promise to cut gas prices - The Herald Dispatch


So where the hell is the common sense plan at? 2 years later she did not fix anything, if anything she made it worse.

Here is another bit of info on the libwits.

Well, over a year after taking the Senate and the House on Jan. 4, 2007, and promising to lower oil prices, the Democrats have presided over the highest oil price increase in history.


I guess change did not work for you liberals.

Its time to make yet another change, get the libs the hell out of town before it is too late!




CHANGE is something the liberals have failed to deliver!

Now gas is almost $3.00 (it's $2.78 here) and no one cares. Obama gets a free pass, and no problems at all. Gas is high, Obama is president, and life is great.

Well, let me be the first to say - he should be impeached. Him and his greedy oil buddies are effecting my life, my kids are starving, and I cannot afford to drive my car anymore.

And yet you blame Obama for this?

Unleaded regular here in NE Ohio is running right around 2.66/gallon right now. It has been said that summer prices naturally rise a bit, but then fall after Memorial day. They have only slightly fallen.

Prices have been trending downward in the last week or so. In Western PA, they were about $2.70/gal, but have now dropped off a bit. You can find it at under $2.60 in some places.

Problem is that Democrats, while they do not directly affect the price of oil, have "promised" to increase taxes on gasoline, which of course drives the price at the pump up.

Also, it has been the Democrat Party that has prevented the production of our own resources (exploration, drilling, and refining). America has more oil than all the Middle East combined, according to industry experts (and I was told that this was reported in an industry news letter, by the owner of the company that I buy propane from. I'm sure he reads the same newsletters I used to read when I wroked in an "oil patch" company many years ago (we manufactured under water TV systems, remote controlled vehicles, and other equipmeent fot the offshore drilling and commercial diving industry).

Americas resources are plentiful. But we have a political Party that will not let us develop our own. Instead, they force us into buying more expensive foreign oil.

Our Senators and Representatives have no common sense, adn they are strictly partisans. Democrats do not want what is best for America. They want what is best for them.

Incredible! That sounds like something Sarah Failin' has said.

Oh, by the way, does anyone know how that pipeline in Alaska is doing?
