• Why liberals will bring down the USA

  The leftist liberals and environmentalists have been blocking the use of USA oil for decades. One of the first things they and the media ignore about using American oil is that the money we currently spend for oil from Russia, Iran, Venezuela, and other unfriendly countries is being used to build up the military forces of our enemies, so they can more easily push us around or defeat us. The money we spend on American oil stays here and helps our economy. Drilling here adds jobs for Americans. Drilling here makes our country less vulnerable to some tin horn dictator shutting our economy down. Our trade deficit would be much lower if all our oil came from our own country. Most everyone wants to see a good safe replacement for oil as a fuel, but it will not happen for at least a decade. Remote drilling for oil in the USA may take a number of years to come on line, but drill near other oil infrastructure could bring new oil within a couple years. As far as John McCain changing his mind about drill off shore, when the facts change any smart person changes to meet those facts. The fact is now we must have that oil or our country may fall. Only an idiot would not use our own oil when there is a world wide shortage of it.
