New thought to ponder

As I have been going through my daily reading of blogger entries. A commenter "Former Law Student" posted on the Althouse blog "Is there something the US could be doing that it's not? Remember we're stony broke and our military has no gas in the tank."

Stay with me here for a moment. We are currently not allowing drilling for oil in our own country. Obama has put a moratorium on drilling, we are more dependent on foreign oil than ever before (even though he promised us we would end our oil dependence). But by disallowing drilling in our own lands and off our own shores, he has put us at the mercy of the oil producing countries of the world even more, he has put us under their control, under their proverbial thumb, so to speak.

Now if a country wanted to shut down the mighty military of the United States, what would be one of the quickest and easiest ways to take away their response? Take away their oil. Think about this, seriously. Our military is VERY gasoline dependent. Aircraft, tanks, military vehicles, ships, helicopters, etc. all dependent on gasoline. So if an oil producing nation were to decide that they didn't want to have to deal with the US military what is to stop them from simply refusing to sell to the United States. What if OPEC decided tomorrow that they were not selling, at any price to the United States? What would our military do? We the people would simply have to make sacrifices, but how can our fighting men and women overseas defend themselves?

And how would we get ourselves out of this mess if it were to happen? It takes years to get the drilling going, this is not something that can be done over the weekend, or even a couple of months down the road. We would be in a world of hurt, and Obama has basically put us at the mercy of the oil nations of the mid-east. My only question now is did he know this, and did he do this on purpose? Not only is he leaving weak, he is bringing us to our knees in servitude to the Muslims.

I am American not Amerikan

“Do you think Washington is broken? And the reason I ask you this, because when you appointed — you did the recess appointment of Donald Berwick. You seemed to send the message of one of two things. Either you didn’t want to debate about health care again on Capitol Hill, which got a little raucous a year ago or — you know what? — the Senate process is broken and we gotta go around it?”
— NBC’s Chuck Todd on the July 16 Today asking President Obama about his bypassing the Senate to install the pro-redistribution/pro-rationing Berwick as the new administrator of Medicare and Medicaid.

Oh my word!!! This is the most dangerous thing I have ever heard. Our founding fathers set up this government so that no one office could have total power, and now the media is asking if the process is broken. What process are they talking about? The libs are setting up the downfall of Congress? So that they can keep the power they have in the presidency. What next? Oh my Lord, that scares me more than anything they have done so far.

The libs hate the constitution, they won't secure the borders, they let the radical Muslims and blacks off the hook, they are indoctrinating our kids, they are growing the government, they are controlling the media, they have control of the courts, and they have around 40% of the population on the government dole. Eric Holder just announced that the Muslim community is helping in the fight against the threats of terrorism, and they are innocent Muslims. How can he keep his lunch down? Does he understand true Islam? And he calls the tea party followers terrorists?

We are being set up for despotism, with the Kenyan-born Illegal Obama being the intractable president, that cannot be voted out. What else will they try to control the population and hold onto their power? I will not stand by and let the libs tell me how to live my life. I am an American, not an Amerikan.
