Drill Baby Drill!!!!

I just filled my gas tank up, I should have filled up this morning, in just 4 hours gas here went 10 cents a gallon. This morning it was $3.49 and now its$3.59 a gallon. I know you folks on the West Coast are paying more, my answer to you fire those in charge or move. Anyway, WHY THE HELL ARE WE NOT DRILLING IN THIS COUNTRY? We have as much if not more oil below the ground and off our shores than the Middle East. For crying out loud, will someone please wake up and allow us to use our own resources. We have oil, natural gas, coal and the ability to build clean secure nuclear plants. You want cleaner energy fine good me too, but until there is a good choice of anything that is cleaner we need fossil fuel. Continue developing solar, wind, wave or even cow pie energy. Until then someone please explain to me why we arnt drilling. Not only will it help us become more secure here at home, lower the price and stabilize the price of oil on the world market, it will put thousands of people in the country to work. Mybe even tens of thousands of folks. I dont want to hear about the treehuggers either, there are far more of us than there are then. Let them throw their little fit and lets move this country forward.

These protesters started out small time and slowly but surely they have pierced the conscience of generations of young mush brained 16-18 year old students while they were still in high school. By the time they graduate college they are so brain washed and 'PC' enhanced that they are no longer capable of having an original idea.
That is why along with prohibition, one of the worse laws ever passed in this country was giving the 18 year old the power of the vote. This in and of itself being one example of sqeaky wheel syndrom Politics. Chanting in unison “If you’re old enough to bleed for your country, you’re old enough to vote”
Once that passed, these same mush brained kids were not only voting for who should be President, but how the Government should take your hard earned daollars and what they should spend it on. All of this with out being property owners themselves or paying any taxes (at that age) for that matter.
Yes, we've been around much longer, but they have been the squeaky wheel from day one of their existence. Taking advantage of the fact that most Conservatives, by nature do not jump up and down shouting about every perceived injustice.
The rise of the T.E.A. Party is the result of many years of Conservative frustration with the state of "We The People". This is why it is so important that we stay our course and hold the feet of the politicians to the fire no matter which party they represent.
