President Barack Obama Touted His Energy Plan at Argonne National Laboratory

President Barack Obama Touted His Energy Plan at Argonne National Laboratory

By Editor-in-Chief on March 24, 2013

“The only way to break this cycle of spiking gas prices — the only way to break that cycle for good — is to shift our cars entirely, our cars and trucks, off oil.” — President Barack Obama, speaking at the Argonne National Laboratory on March 15. What a load of bunk. (more…)

Are Barack Obama’s Energy Policies Orchestrated by George Soros?

Are Barack Obama’s Energy Policies Orchestrated by George Soros?

By Editor-in-Chief on March 7, 2012

The New York Post writes that the Obama administration is clamping down on oil and gas development in America (both onshore and offshore) but is hell-bent on helping other nation’s tap their resources and points out that such help is being showered specifically in New Guinea, of all places. Does Obama’s agenda include helping further enrich George Soros, sugar daddy of the Democratic Party? (more…)

Obama and His Plans for Our Energy Future

By Editor-in-Chief on February 14, 2012

Obama and the Democrats have plans for you! He will destroy the coal and oil industries in this country and then force green energy on us. The family vehicle will be powered by ethanol, batteries or solar panels and it will be so small that anyone over six feet tall will have to be a contortionist just to get in the door. And you will be paying through the nose in taxes and other fees to Obama’s friends and supporters for the pleasure of not having to ride on a bus, bicycle or horse and buggy. Welcome to Obama’s Green World, America.

Obama’s Vision: Make More Ethanol

Obama’s Vision: Make More Ethanol

By Editor-in-Chief on April 14, 2011

The Department of Agriculture will soon be helping gasoline stations install new pumps that can dispense fuel with higher ethanol content, according to USDA Secretary Tom Vilsack.  The USDA will offer grants and loan guarantees for the installation of costly new “blender pumps” so drivers can purchase fuel with a higher ratio of corn-based ethanol. Opponents charge program will increase food costs.

What is Barack Obama’s Energy Plan? It Isn’t Drill, Baby, Drill!

What is Barack Obama’s Energy Plan? It Isn’t Drill, Baby, Drill!

By Editor-in-Chief on March 21, 2011

What’s Barack Obama’s Energy Plan? To bring the United States to its knees to bow before the gods of the Middle East. The United States is again, for the second time in less than three years, being reminded of its absurd dependence of foreign sources of energy, most notably, oil.  The upheavals in the Middle East have driven up the cost of a barrel of oil into triple digits as it was in 2008. And Obama says he approves!

Wanna Know Why Your Airline Tickets are “Outta this World”?

Wanna Know Why Your Airline Tickets are “Outta this World”?

By Editor-in-Chief on March 21, 2011

It’s hard to defend all the fees that airlines charge – fuel costs are crazy – but it sure is easy to get mad at all the taxes the government tacks on. You will not believe what you read below.

Which item do you think has the most federal taxes and fees attached to it: (1) a bottle of Coors, (2) a carton of Camels, (3) a Colt .45 semi-auto, or (4) a roundtrip airline ticket from Chicago to Miami?

Trumka and Taxes

By Editor-in-Chief on March 3, 2011

Well, you saw the picture above showing Trumka and his buddy Barack Obama. This is what organized labor, the Democratic Party and Barack Obama have in store for you. More “Pain at the Pump.”

What’s the best way to get Americans back to work? Raise taxes, according to AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka.  Specifically, he wants to raise the federal gas tax as a means to fund infrastructure spending.  “We need a dedicated source of revenue to create infrastructure in this country,” he says.

New Drilling Method Opens Vast U.S. Oil Fields

New Drilling Method Opens Vast U.S. Oil Fields

By Editor-in-Chief on February 28, 2011

We are experiencing $4 a gallon gasoline with a possible increase to $5 by summer. It did not have to come to this. We have the Democratic Party and their environmental – wacko supporters to thank for it. There are millions off barrels of oil underground in America and more off the continental shelf. Obama is ignoring that even though we have a way to extract those millions of barrels of oil and keep most of the money in the US of A.

What Ever Happened to the Cry “Drill Baby, Drill”!

What Ever Happened to the Cry “Drill Baby, Drill”!

By Editor-in-Chief on January 3, 2011

BBO (Before Barack Obama) and his momentous victory in 2008, gas prices had reached four dollars a gallon and people across the country we calling out for an end to spiraling prices. The Democratic Party, held fast in the grip of the environmental extremists, didn’t know what to do. They wanted to win the upcoming elections, but could NOT be seen approving offshore oil drilling. Then for no discernable reason, prices started to fall and by the time the 2008 elections arrived the calls for offshore drilling were silent.

What happened to Reducing Our Dependence on Foreign Oil?

What happened to Reducing Our Dependence on Foreign Oil?

By Editor-in-Chief on November 15, 2010

Eliminating the nation’s dependence on foreign oil? Fat chance when the Obama Administration is going to lend billions of dollars to Brazil’s state-owned oil company, Petrobras, to finance exploration of the huge offshore discovery in Brazil’s Tupi oil field in the Santos Basin near Rio de Janeiro.  The environmental wackos in the U.S. have to be popping the champagne corks.
