Liberal nonsense

Barack Hussein Obama declared the other day that new drilling won't lower the price of gas today, tomorrow, next week, next year or even in five years. So his alternative is to find new sources of energy, tax the oil & gas companies, etc. None of those will lower the price of gas today, tomorrow, next week, next year or even in five years. Should we wait five more years, and then start drilling? Then that new oil won't come on line for another five years according to him, which puts us ten years out; does that make any sense?

Why does he (and most liberals) think that taxing oil & gas companies will immediately lower gas prices? Please someone explain how that works. The oil & gas companies will simply pass the tax hike through to the consumer, which means higher gas prices. 76% of oil & gas companies' profits are spent on research & development. Why do we want to curtail that? We should be encouraging them (read: lower taxes) to do more research on current energy sources and other sources. Taxing them even more simply makes that impossible.

Liberals are opposed to offshore drilling; why? Is it simply the environmental concern? They talk about "no offshore drilling," but have absolutely no solution for anything to be accomplished in the near term -- except taxing. Why not drill offshore, huh?

While we're talking about it, liberals love to bash and demonize "Big Oil"; did they ever think that first, roughly half of the employees who work for these companies are Democrats, most likely, and second, that millions of employees have mutual funds with oil & gas stocks as part of their portfolio, and that roughly half of those employees are Democrats? So liberals are bashing the companies that many of their constituents either work at or are invested with, which simply hurts those very same people. What common sense does this make? I submit that it makes no common sense.

Changing gears: Liberals, especially Obama, talk about how they are unifiers. They are going to unite the country. How can liberals promote unification, when in fact they do the exact opposite? Liberals are the kings of class warfare, victimization groups, segregating people into groups (blacks, Hispanics, GLBT, poor, working class, rich, children, etc., etc.) and pitting them against one another. Meanwhile, conservatives talk about individualism, people's individual liberties, etc. Liberals talk about collectivism, classes of people, group power, and so on. Who are all these people who are being duped by the liberals into thinking that liberals will unite the country? There is physically no way for that to happen with liberals.
