printI grow weary listening to the idiots Hussein and McCain. So, last night, I switched off the debate (the last one, thank God).
I did catch the ass Obama claim that the US uses the greatest share of the world’s apparently collectively owned oil and gas resources.
Two things:
1) The idea of private property is anathema to this man. (Let’s not kid ourselves: McCain is none the wiser.) Oil and gas are not communally owned; entrepreneurs use their privately owned property to extract these resources from the ground. The same, or other, people then use their private property to turn the useless smelly compounds they’ve extracted into stuff that powers the economy—and life itself.
2) Resources are not finite. So long as man is allowed to innovate, and is free to think and act, he will find ways to turn compounds that lie inert and useless in nature into vim for the economy.
Yes, resource are not limited. The earth weighs every bit as much as it ever did and then some. Energy can be depleted except not in the next 5000 years or more if nuclear is allowed. There is enough natural gas (in the form of methy-hydrate on the ocean beds) to power the world for the next 3000 years. Rabid environmentalists really need a life, I suggest the Author thereof.
It’s a good thing you turned it off — it got worse from there. We get to pick whether a partial spending freeze with continued Empire-building wars or a tax increase with no limitations on spending will stop the deficit. Oh, and both of them think pouring government money down the rathole of alternative energy, and subsidizing our bankrupt automakers will bring the economy back, and THAT will bring in enough revenue to balance the budget.
I can’t go on to describe any more of it. I’m sorry I watched it.

Let me put in a good word for my main Barry Hussein. Unlike Al Gore who personally uses tons of energy, Obama’s family (on his dad’s side) do NOT use up a lot of energy per person. Perhaps this is the good life Obama wishes in the “Dreams of my father” – a good Kenyan standard of living. { I’ll also add a good word for Biden – he believes in Windpower – and has plenty to spare }.
Capitalism ftw.
