Asininity Trumps Stupidity: Common Sense and Our Energy Reserves

Malice in Wonderland as Barack’s Presidency Finally Runs Out of Gas

By Kelly OConnell

The most surreal episode yet of Obama’s weird, contra-factual presidency recently occurred. First, he condescendingly blocked the 1.1 million barrel-a-day Keystone Canada-to-US pipeline, in the hallowed name of environmentalism. Then, following almost immediately, gas prices sky-rocketed. But, Barack managed to top even this logical perversity.

He then gave a speech, apropos of nothing, defying the notion that drilling (or pipelining!) could possibly lessen USA’s dependence on foreign petroleum. He tagged this notion a “bumper sticker,” i.e. a cliche representing a political hoax. Finally, he chortled at Republican’s silly belief in stateside petroleum development. He concluded by haranguing Americans on their naivete on how global energy works. Pardon the rhetorical nature of this question—But is the man mad as a hatter?

Obama stated in new Hampshire on the subject,

"Anybody who tells you that we can just drill our way out of this problem does not know what they’re talking about, or they’re not telling you the truth—one or the other…There is no silver bullet. It’s a a bumper sticker, not a strategy to solve our energy challenge. It’s the easiest thing in the world to make phony election-year promises about lower gas prices. Gasoline prices are on the rise and Republicans are licking their chops. That’s a quote."

The performance was vintage Obama. He stated incorrect “facts,” encompassing false claims, defying his brain-addled political base to attempt the heavy lifting of admitting 1 + 1 never equals 3. Unfortunately, Obama’s doctrinaire, play-loose-with-the-facts, dismissive style is increasingly obvious to spot. As American oil discoveries increase, production sky-rockets, while Global Warming is shown a hoax. Meanwhile, Europe proves (as if we needed to see again!) that socialism is failure incarnate. So Barack is fomenting for a system that isn’t simply highly deficient, but utterly clueless against the facts. So, Obama’s been outed as a quintessential Marx acolyte; but Marxism has no better replacement for modern democracies. This premise, Obama’s strange refusal to accept reality and let it help dictate policy, is the subject of this essay.

(Ribbet!)

I am left with no other conclusion than that he deliberately wants our destruction. I know we all have the tendency, after 9/11, to think of Iran, Al Qaeda et al. as 'enemies'--but I think the worst one is right in our own White House.
