and the global warming cults for waging war on fossil fuels. Oh, I'm sure high gas prices will not cause major hardship on working families and especially on the poor. We all know that liberals are just always looking out for the little guy.

Conservatives, Liberals, or politicians of any stripe have nothing to do with the price of international oil or domestic gasoline. The international crude price is set by the International Petroleum Cartel at a level that maximizes profit without encouraging alternative energy sources. The price of oil has been far too important to be set at the whims of a Free Market. This has been true since the Standard Oil Cartel was established in the 1800's.

When adjusted for inflation gas prices have been pretty much the same price at the pump for over eighty years.

In fact we actually have some of the lowest prices at the pump in the world due to the constant welfare payments to oil companies. Other countries achieved their low pump prices by taking over the oil companies and not running them as welfare moochers but instead for the public good.
