There is a lot of misinformation about this issue. This might clarify:

Some of the posters here should learn the meaning of critical thinking and critical examination.

Problem is…..if we drill in the Gulf, there’s no guarantee that the oil company that does the drilling will sell the oil in the U.S. BP certainly had no promise pending to sell the oil here. It will get sold where the profit margin will be the greatest. If that’s China or Europe, so be it. Just because it is drilled here doesn’t mean it will stay here. AND…….how much do the oil copmpanies owe in lease fees and royalties now? BILLIONS. Show me the money! Get the money back you bucnh of FOx new brainwashed Ignoramuses.

Alericc, please add the Largest Deficit in History of Any Government, the most irresponsibly spending Congress ever and a literal cesspool of corruption in DC.

I think kunja needs to look behind his fearless leader and see who are pulling his strings. Ask PEBO who paid for his schooling, gave his wife a $300k a year job that she went to three days out of the week. Who gained most of the money from the Porkulous Bill that he put through? Oh right it was all the Dems and money men who paid to get him into office. Not to mention all the Tax Cheats and Socialist ideologist who are now on his cabinets and in Czar positions. Dont wave the corruption stick around Republicans until you clean your own hose and that will take a long time to get rid of the likes of Charlie Rangel, Chuck Schumer, Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi.

Sarah Palin is more qualified and better able to make decisions than the stuttering one. How long has he taken to make a decision on Afghanistan? 10 months now?? Gitmo? ANYTHING but spending money and bowing to Arab Sheiks. As I said when you can show someone on the Dem side who has accomplished half of what GWB did in his first year then you can speak. Till then go back to the Huffington Post and MSNBC.

kunja Chatterton? You gotta be pulling my leg.

Who sent You here?
Anybody put a gun to your head?
Who paid You to post this crap here?

If You don’t like what you see here, get outa here. We are Jews and Gentiles and Conservatives of many colors. My ancestors destroyed the US 7th Cavalry at the Little Big Horn and were killed and put on Reservations. My Grandfather was Carlisle Institute educated and founded a ranch that is successful, Family owned and not an Affirmative Action guy.

Take Your Social and Economic Justice BS and put it up your backside. I am 1/4 Sioux, spent 28+ years in the US Army and am NOT a Punk Community Organizer or a Marxist. I am a Capitalist, own the 4th largest cattle ranch in Montana and did not take a Gummint bailout because I can run a business, balance a checkbook and laugh at clowns like You that don’t have a pot to piss in or a window to throw it out of. I resent my Tax Money being wasted to perpetuate a Government that spends at Non Sustainable levels. I pay more in Taxes in a year than You most likely make in 20. I am neither a Democrat or a Republican but despise Career Politicians equally.

I have met Sarah Palin and share Her values. Take your Crap elsewhere Dude. We just are not buying it and know better. How about them apples???????

Sorry for the vulgarity but someone needs to give these trolls something besides a lollypop and a pat on the head. My sincere apologies to anyone that I have offended besides this “kunja Chatterton” jackass.

Patvann, Wendy’s buys my beef. Eat Hearty Pardner! kunja Chatterton would rather have You eating Gummint cheese and standing in line for it. Cheeseburgers to fight for!

@kunja Chatterton

Like wow man. Like that’s some real deep stuff man. Like if I send out some mellow vibes, N.Korea will start planting their OWN crops, and stop sending missiles across Japan!!

And if I hire all the drug addicts, and bums in my community, that will make my military obsolete, and then every one in the world will love us, and send us nice poems and cards!!

If all 8 million people in New York plant their own little gardens, that will let the UN keep feeding 20% of the world!!

Can you teach us knuckle-dragger’s how to synthesize AZT, so we can all individually row our fuel-free boats to Africa and give it away?

And you soooo right about all those “Christian-right” jerks. They must have committed upwards of 12,000 acts of terror since they blew up the towers!!

I want to be the first to apologize to you and the planet for helping invent numerous machines for Applied Materials to sell to Intel, Mattson to sell to Samsung, and Tegal to sell to AMD, because I feel so crappy for making computers fast and affordable. For penance, I will give away all my stock-options they gave me as a “working public” person.

And if I ever get a time machine, I will go back and kill my Grandparents for running from the Germans and bringing my Dad here in 1943…I will simply inform him that the wise and venerable Kunja Chatterton educated me about the true, horrible, place called America, and that he was sadly mistaken for thinking that it was a place he could find his dreams of peace, instead of the heaven-on-earth known at the time as Occupied Holland.

…Or not.

Maybe instead, I’ll just show your idiot post to my Marine son, laugh at you, then go for a drive in the 500horse hot-rod to get a burger at Wendy’s on our way to the shooting range.

P.S. I love you.
