“If democracies abandon the idea of freedom and happiness of the individual, they admit their civilization is not worth preserving.” Therefore, “we must retain the belief in the traditional values for which we have stood in the past and must have the moral courage stoutly to defend the ideals which our enemies attack.”

"Israel is apparently confirming they were behind the cyber attack "
Which would be a smart move even if they weren't! Remember in the original John Wick, they referred to him as the bogeyman. Or the bogeyman that even the bogeyman feared. As long as Iran thinks that Israel is the bogeyman, that can slip behind their defense at will and do their worst, Iran will be hesitant to make the bogeyman angry.

Are You Happy With The Price You Pay at the Pump?

Then, thank a Democrat! I know that sounds kind of like a partisan shot, but really! Remember the bilge and blather that Nancy Pelosi and her cohorts have been pumping for years? Gasoline was $2.32/ gallon the day before Nancy Pelosi became Speaker of the House. She said that the price of gas was too high, and the Democrats were going to change that!

Millions were invested in "green" energy, billions were funneled to ethanol subsidies, tax breaks were taken away from oil companies, all of which were calculated by the Democrats to "help our economy", increase national security, and drive gas prices down. How successful have they been so far?

And the reasons they gave for the "high" gas price of $2.32 (and rising)? One of them that you just don't hear much any more, (wonder why?) is that the President (Bush) was "too cozy" with the oil companies. Remember that one? Well, for more than two years we have had a president who is definitely not "cozy" with big oil companies. (At least, not the ones in this country. Brazil is another story!). If the Democrats weren't totally delusional or lying to us, getting rid of that "cozy" relationship should have, according to them, caused gas prices to go down. How's that working out for them? For you? For the country?

They say the classic sign of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and looking for different results. How much longer are we going to leave energy policy in the hands of those who cannot even properly identify the problem much less offer a sane or rational solution?

A couple of Golden Oldies From Nancy Pelosi and The Gang That Couldn't Shoot Straight:

Why Do Energy Crises Occur Under Democrat Presidents?

I don't know if you're old enough to remember, but back in 1993*, one of the arguments that President Bill Clinton had against drilling in ANWR (Alaskan National Wildlife Reserve), was that it would "take 20 years" for any oil drilled there to provide us any relief. While I doubt the accuracy of that statement, for the math impaired, I will note that had the US started to drill in 1977, when ANWR drilling was first proposed, that ANWR would have been providing the US with oil for 25 years now. Think about that. Had the Democrat president of the US, had the foresight to care for his nation not just past the latest polls, but for a quarter or half a century into the future, how much better off would we be today? 

Jimmy Carter before him, witnessed long lines at the gas pump. Only allowed to purchase gas on alternate days. His solution was to put on a sweater, turn down the thermostat at the White House and maybe throw a solar panel or two up on the roof. 

Gas prices went up under Obama. He refused to permit the Keystone XL, even though his own state department could find no valid reason to. When he came up for reelection, knowing the people wanted relief from high gas prices, posed for a photo op beside a portion of the XL pipeline, that he had no control over, and took credit for the increased oil production in the US, on state and private lands, despite the fact that he had banned drilling on government land and put much offshore drilling out of bounds for US oil production. 

Finally, we get to Joe "Where Am I?" Biden, who on day one of his administration, took the US from being energy self sufficient, to become once again dependent on foreign oil, making our economy dependent on foreign nations, many of which actively seek our harm or our demise. 

If you believe in the idea of a strong America, a bastion of democracy in a world of tyrants, we must put our leadership in the hands of those who not only want a strong and prosperous America today, but for the foreseeable future. 

 Remember this next election day.


*My bad! I originally stated 1977, which was when the question of drilling in ANWR began. Old age, slipping clogs and such!

"...it was Biden's reference to securing the border that was, in retrospect, a great moment in political dishonesty. Here he is, president of the United States, sending a message to millions of would-be illegal border-crossers that if they cross into the U.S., they will be allowed to stay. And then he stands before Congress and the entire nation and says, with a straight face, "we need to secure our border."
