NAMBLA is a left-wing organization.

There's a reason why patriotism is considered a conservative value. Watch a Tea Party rally and you'll see people proudly raising the American flag and showing pride in U.S. heroes such as Thomas Jefferson. Watch an OWS rally and you'll see people burning the American flag while showing pride in communist heroes such as Che Guevera. --Bob, from some news site

Isn't China going to begin slant drilling off the coast of Cuba into the oil reserves off the coast of Florida?

Why to go asshat Congress.

it appears that while there are plans to do so, it isn't happening right now.  this story has become a bit of a controversy for the liberals.

Democrats creating a self fulfilling prophecy.

This issue is liable to come back and bite the Democratic Congressional critters in the ass in November.

Well we can forget about a war for oil. It'll be a war for survival as long as we have the fuel for it.

This is great news for McCain and all Republicans.

"Drill Here Drill Now" is getting some serious legs.  hussien's assertion that drilling would only change oil prices a few pennies defies reason and facts.  Even HIS stupid minions know that isn't so.

Ooobama's solution is to decrease demand, not supply. That tells me all I need to know.

No, my friends, there’s only one really progressive idea. And that is the idea of legally limiting the power of the government. That one genuinely liberal, genuinely progressive idea — the Why in 1776, the How in 1787 — is what needs to be conserved. We need to conserve that fundamentally liberal idea. That is why we are conservatives. --Bill Whittle

And who was the last President (I capitalize the position, not the man) who told us to lower our expectations?

I'm with glenn Beck on this. I don't care how many polar bears we have to drill through to get the oil,just drill for it already.

I seem to recall the word "malaise" being bandied about quite a bit.

That and three-block long gas lines.

But then again, I wasn't old enough to drive yet.  Almost, but not quite.
