The Senator from La La Land

Seattle is buzzing with chit chat of the new giant slayer, Maria Cantwell, junior Senator of Washington. It's said that she feels she is the new "Scoop" Jackson of international relations fame. Little Maria took on Senator Steven of Alaska, one of the DC beltway's most powerful voices for energy and commerce. And she got a delay.

It's now been over two and a half decades since early fossil fuel explorations proved that billions upon billions of oil barrels and untold cubic feet of natural gas are languishing under the Alaskan National Wildlife Refuge. We all know that economic activity in Alaska is confined to resource extraction and management. That's the fishery in the Gulf of Alaska, timber, minerals, and of course fossil fuels.

This find became public as the Alaskan pipeline came on line and the prospect of additional fossil fuel extraction swept a mostly poor state. Senator Stevens stepped forward to expedite further exploration so that the size of the find could be assessed. Not to happen. Enviro- extremists organized to stop any further fossil fuel drilling and extraction from Alaska by pressuring a strong majority Democrat House and Senate to take ANWR off America's drilling inventory. That was 25 years ago.

Segway to today's Congress where Republicans now rule. You'd think that conservatives might consider that they are being attacked by Democrats for energy prices. That's energy prices that are high because of Democrat resistance to fossil fuel exploration and extraction. That the Democrats that stop all refinery capacity enlargement. That's the Democrats that tax fuel more than any other product other than tobacco. That's the Democrats that lie and cheat about who's responsible for all of our energy shortages.

The House and senate have approved ANWR drilling straight up. Cantwell and her "friends" are using every method to subvert the will of the people. She might have stepped on the wrong man's toes. Cantwell after all lives in a glass house. She was elected in a Seattle "miraculous" recount, the practice for the governor's recount of 2004 where thousands of votes appeared to overturn early leads by the Republican.

More interesting was that Cantwell ran on a "no money from special interet groups" campaign pledge. So she borrowed a few million during the campaign. Then when she was elected, she used Hillary Clinton and Senator Edwards to raise money from special interests which they delivered to her to get around campaign laws. Since the dough was collected by others, she claimed she needn't disclose her contributors.

Then Maria led a group of "intellectual" women on a visit to Cuba. The recounts of their clam bakes and mutual respect cooing were not found in Seattle's papers, but in the New York Times. It's there that she was quoted saying: "That Fidel is a Merlot man, as opposed to Seattle's Chardonnay drinking progressive men." Never mind that Fidel is one of the world's most prolific mass murderers. He is after all progressive, whatever that means.

I suspect that Stevens will remember how precarious Maria's house of cards truly might be. Keep posted.

The Socialists Flex their Muscles!

We see today that the Senate refused to stop "debate" by a total of 56 to 44 for the drilling of ANWR. 56 Republican senators want to pass the appropriations bill while 44 Democrats refuse to go forward. What does this mean? It means that a few Republicans are siding with Democrats to oppose drilling in ANWR. Why? Because they want to stop US drilling and production.

President Bush will be credited by honest historians for many changes in America. In fact, he is probably the most PROGRESSIVE president in our history. One of his projects is to stop enviro-eco-extremists stopping exploration and development of fossil fuels. He's also demanding real science to support his political opponent's proposed legislation.

Science is no longer a part of left wing abuses. Today a federal court judge in Pennsylvania said that evolution is the strongest pillar of today's science. Say What? Evolution, a loosely organized political and anti-God concept proves nothing. Yet an ignorant and stupid judge says otherwise. Why? Because he feels it. Because he thinks that he is somebody that feels that evolution is proven. Not even a respected extremist left wing scientist says that evolution is proven. Name one!!!!

I love this time in America's political development. We see that real political concepts and scientific sentiments are now driving our policies. Yes, a number of idiot mayors went to Montreal to say they support the UN and other socialist countries in their effort to destroy America. These guys are stupid as stupid does. They are liars and abusers. And they now demand power outside of the electoral process.

Imagine that our constitution and the vote of our people are considered irrelevant by left wing extremists!! It's time that we demand the truth or we run them out of town.

ANWR is back

With Democrats betting the farm on the Vietraq war and Republicans finding their roots, ANWR is back on the negotiating table. Only this time, the facts are prevailing. The oil under ANWR is needed to lessen America's reliance on foreign fossil fuels. In fact, Senator Stevens of Alaska is now winning after over 25 years of Democrat stalling. The Senate and the House have approved drilling in ANWR, so the people have spoken.

The facts are that ANWR probably has much more than 11 billion barrels of very clean sweet crude. Some believe that nearly 20 billion barrels will be extracted before it's all said and done. The enviro and eco crowd has demanded and received the earth's most extensive Environmental Impact Statements that indicate that no environmental harm or permanent damage is expected. And we know that today's three dimentional drilling capabilities reduce the number of wells required to exploit a field and also dramatically reduce the "footprint" of drilling platforms and support services.

ANWR is one of the many religious icons of blind faith secular socialist religion. This is the same crowd that attempted to stop oil drilling in the 1970s and the Alaskan pipeline. None of the "scientific" evidence presented then proved reliable. In fact all was wrong. Today we hear the same babble. Bottom line is that eco extremists want to end US fossil fuel exploration and use. And they want to take the people's land away so that it's their own playground.

For those looking to relate ANWR drilling to reality, look at it as a football field. If ANWR is 100 yards long, the drilling will take place on a piece that is smaller than a postage stamp. I think it's time that some of our extremists get a grip and a life.

Kyontreal and more!

Montreal broke the record book for cost and lavishness to attract only those that cry "Global Warming." It seems necessary to ply "scientists" with wine, lots of women, and song to convince them to follow the eco-siren's song of immediate planet death. Montreal reminds me of my last fraternity poker game. "I raise you two hurricanes to your Greenland icecap melt" says somebody. Then we hear "I'll raise that with two tornadoes and four glaciers receding." And an environmentalist in a pear tree.

With all this handholding on asset redistribution, kwanzaa is becoming mainstream. As with past global secular socialist parties, the Bush administration is taking the punch away. Waaaaaaa! Talk about rude. The American delegation walked out on the 10th straight hour of Bush and USA bashing at midnight in Montreal. Waaaaaa! Many countries like Venezuela and Cuba were just getting warmed up. There were still 8 hours of darkness left so economic and social vampires had plenty of time to suck our blood.

What's heartwarming is that Australia and China are joining Bush and now Japan in crafting their own environmental policies. These nations laugh at redistributing US wealth to all other nations. This group asks about Europe and Africa doing some work for a change? The Old Europe feels that everybody owes them an entitlement to live the life. So Global Warming and the internet are their ticket to future prosperity. Problem is that Bush is pushing back after decades of easy going for the rest of the world.

Gulfstream slows, somebody says

Word from the European Community is that the Gulfstream is slowing by 30% over recent time. Whoa Nellie! Worse is that this means the British Isles and Northern Europe will cool precipitously. Some say as much as 6 degrees C over the next decade or so. That's Ice Age temps. What's causing all this? Global Warming of course. The Journal Nature is quoted in the Guardian, one of Europe's premier left wing news outlets.

The basis for this dot-connection-science is that Global Warming is melting the Polar ice cap and Greenland's ice which is changing the Atlantic's salinity which reducing it's weight which keeps it from sinking into the abyss which reduces the circulatory speed of the Gulfstream. That means the volume of warm water streaming north is reduced which means the UK and Northern Europe are cooling. Whew, that's a mouth full. And it's a long stretch to connect each of these rather Global Warming accommodating dots.

What do climate scientists say about this most dramatic development? Don't know? It's the politicians speaking as usual. The same politicians that "feel" we are over consuming and which fear property ownership and personal empowerment. Yes, those secular socialist political scientists!

Montreal's Climate is Cooling

The Eco-shindig du jour is happening in Montreal this week. It's said that salmon and Orca are the protein of choice to woo the attendants to sign up for Kyoto Plus! Problem was, and still is, that the 500 pound gorilla (USA for those living in secular socialism) isn't peeling this stale banana. In fact, little is sweet about a crowd of politically charged world ruler wanna bes. The French and even the Russians look at the USA and they drool with desire to control it, if not destroy it.

The Bush administration rolls out statistic after statistic that proves that the USA is cutting all forms of emissions and is using less energy per GDP dollar every year. So as our economy screams into the outer solar system, our fuel consumption and resulting emissions are even or reducing. And better is the fact that economic competition drives improvements in energy use every year. That's without draconian laws and choking regulations. Not that the USA has a shortage of either abusive laws or worthless regulations.

Yet the answer from the Montreal calm-bakers and their secular socialist media is that these statistics don't matter. Even if they did, we can do much better. The Washington Post tells us just that with a "disturbing" editorial today.

Let's get this straight. Our economy increases, which lifts all the world's standard of living. We do this without increasing energy usage and by producing less pollution. We provide the vast majority of all of the world's research and development. 9 out of 10 jobs worldwide depend on us. And the poor and needy rely mostly on us. Yet we are the problem. The American consumer is the problem. I'd like to get a few of the drugs the Montreal conventioneers are using.
