How long are we going to allow this to continue? Environmentalist groups are attempting to strangle the life out of our great country! We need to engage the enemy in this war that has been declared on the U.S. by these leftist environmental groups who seek to send our society back a couple hundred years. From Alaska to the gulf of mexico environmental groups like the National Audubon Society, Greenpeace, the National Resources Defense Council and numerous others do their very best to stop this country from using it's own abundant sources of energy.<a href="http://www.doe.gov"></a> They have stood in the way of our energy independence for more than 30 years now and I believe it is time to show them the door! These groups and groups like them have kept us from drilling for more domestic oil, building nuclear and clean coal power plants and expanding our ability to refine oil into gasoline. This is an attack on capitalism and the American way of life, and is a grave threat to our national security! It is time that we, the American people WAKE UP and take back our country! Oil is the fuel of freedom and we are letting groups like these along with dictators like Hugo Chavez in Venezuela and the Mullahs in Iran slowly close the pipeline of our freedom! I'm tired of the rhetoric that "we need to break our addiction to oil" no we don't! We need to break the stranglehold environmentalists have on us! Oil is the greatest god given resource on earth and we need to use it to further the advancement of freedom on the planet not stifle it. We have only scratched the surface of this great and abundant resource and we need to use our technology to make it even more efficient and clean. We can spread the uses of it and the freedoms that come with it to everyone on the planet. Contrary to Mr. Obama's idea that "we need to end the age of oil" I believe we need to jump into the age of oil whole heartedly and stop burning food in our gas tanks and instead use oil to ship that food to parts of the world that are starving! It's time we let Mr. Obama, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid and all the other anti-capitalist socialists in the house and senate know that WE WANT OUR ENERGY BACK! So call your congressmen and senators and tell them to lift the ban on drilling and loosen the regulations on nuclear and coal power. It's time to get serious about our energy policy. Don't sit around crying and whining about the cost of gas or electricity, DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT! www.rightmiddleclass.blogspot.com |

Ditto. The perpetrators from both sides of the aisle should be criminally charged. Food for Fuel? Corn, of all things to choose from? They just don't care.

Try some Non Fiction. The Black Hand: The Bloody Rise and Redemption of "Boxer" Enriquez, a Mexican Mob Killer (Hardcover) by Chris Blatchford (Author) Editorial Reviews From Publishers Weekly Starred Review. There is much to praise in this authorized biography of Rene Boxer Enriquez, penned by Peabody Award–winning journalist Blatchford (Three Dog Nightmare). While this is a superb cautionary tale about the dangers of youth falling into senseless gang violence, it also rates as a probing, redemptive story of Enriquez, a vicious, heroin-addicted killer for Los Angeles's largest criminal street gang, with 20,000 members involved in extortion, drug-dealing, vice and murder. Blatchford explores with grim accuracy Enriquez's criminal past, prison killings, turf wars and contract eliminations around the West Coast. But the book also reveals Enriquez and his crew's total commitment to hoodlum honor, the cost in lives and status, and the betrayals and intrigues both behind bars and out in society. This is a savvy account of Enriquez's arduous self-education and personal transformation from cold killer to a man who, in his own words, educates law enforcement and the public about a prison and criminal subculture that should scare the hell out of them. (Sept.) Copyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved. Product Description An astonishing and groundbreaking look at the Mexican Mafia, The Black Hand is an unprecedented story of depravity, violence, and redemption Rene "Boxer" Enriquez grew up on the violent streets of East L.A., where gang fights, robberies, and drive-by shootings were fueled by rage, drugs, and alcohol. When he finally landed in prison -- at the age of nineteen -- Enriquez found an organization that brought him the respect he always wanted: the near-mythic and widely feared Mexican Mafia, La Eme. What it saw in Enriquez was a young man who knew no fear and would kill anyone -- justifiably or not -- in the blink of an eye. That loyalty and iron will drove him up the ranks as a mob enforcer and ultimately to the upper echelons, where he would help rule for nearly two decades. He helped La Eme become the powerful and violent organization that it is now, with a base army of approximately sixty thousand heavily armed gang members who control the prison system and a large part of California crime. Arguably the most dangerous gang in American history, its reach is growing. And now award-winning investigative journalist Chris Blatchford, with the unprecedented cooperation of Rene Enriquez, reveals the inner workings, secret meetings, and elaborate murder plots that make up the daily routine of the Mafia brothers. It is an intense, never-before-told story of a man who devoted his life to a bloody cause only to find betrayal and disillusionment. After years of research and investigation, Blatchford has delivered a historic narrative of a nefarious organization that will go down as a classic in mob literature. --This text refers to the Kindle Edition edition. www.amazon.com/Black-Hand-Redemption-Enriquez-Mexican/dp/006125729X/ref=pd_bbs_sr_2?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1222171766&sr=1-2 |
