God Damn America - My version......(Rant warning)
 I know why Bush and Cheney want to bomb the shit out of Iran.

It's about the oil, stupid. It's about getting and keeping the oil. Maintaining access to the oil in Iraq.

This isn't so much about Iraq, or Iran, though. That's the short view. The long view is that this is the first front in the nascent conflict with our oil-consumption doppelganger, the Chinese.

Peking brags about satellite killers while training their two million-man army. Their economy is starving for cheap oil just enough to begin the fight for it, just like we are.

It's on. They will bring it.

The definition of insanity is doing exactly the same thing, the same way, and expecting different results.

Why don't we just change energy strategy? Why do we act like it's 1959?

Because that's who we are.

We are: Good buddies with the Saudis, those rotten ****ers who beat and jail rape victims. The very country the terrorists REALLY come from.

We are: The people who allowed a despot "President" to turn loose a 100,000 man shadow army operating outside any chain of command, decency or the Geneva Convention, killing any Iraqi they please.

We are: Allowing torture in our name.

We are: Standing idly by while the Iranian "terror threat" gets pumped up to war.

It's all for US, ya know. So we can have our malls and our fake religions, our Super Bowl, our political junk food dressed up as debate, our food "products". Mostly, though, what this REALLY boils down to:

Our One True Religion.

Unbridled Consumption.


We are NOT: Going to be Inconvenienced one ****ing bit.

We won't move from the suburbs, won't stop driving SUV'S. Won't change a ****ing thing we believe we have a right to, which is anything we want.

We are: Willing to kill millions, maybe billions, to perpetuate a lifestyle that can only be described as degenerate in the suffering it engenders and allows worldwide.

Until the oil runs out.

We are: One Ipod away from an infantile nervous breakdown over the loss of this gluttony we have mistaken for "freedom."

We are: Incapable of growing our own food, mending our own clothes, participating in our own democracy beyond the beauty pageant that is our election "process".

We are: Complicit in every outrage, partners in every violation of the freedoms we espouse while crying over the dead we happily sacrifice to our avarice.

Then we complain about gas prices.

Then we drive to the mall.

Maybe they really do hate us for our freedoms.

Then where is all of this oil DUmbass?  Why is it costing me $3.30 a gallon to fill up?

Why aren't we flooding the market with Iraqi crude to drive the cost of a barrel of oil down if it's "all about the oil"?



The fact of the matter is...you asshats will say "It's about the oil" no matter WHERE we go in that part of the world.

You said that about Kuwait in 1991...you said it about why we maintained troops in Saudi Arabia until 2003...you said it again when we went into Afghanistan and you're saying it again about Iraq.

We could invade Outer Mongolia and you'd STILL say "it's about the oil".

Ya know what is incredibly ironic?  The Dems said, in their interrogations of Ambassador Crocker and GEN Petraeus, that Iraq should start sending us oil to pay for the war.  So, the Dems want to make it about the oil!

They're fidiots.

Interesting thing to say because to a fault DUmmies believe you can change the complete way a situation is dealt with (think healthcare) and yet the outcome will still be the same or better(unlimited free care).

First it complains we're still living like it was 1959, but wants us to live like it was 1859.

If the ywant to bitch about the reasons for oil then they need to go ask the Mexican and Canadian Governments why we should be paying 110+ a barrel when we are getting 60% of our oil from them. Both governments on our boarders are raking in the profits and using them to fund their budgets. Talk about blood for oil.
