Point of the Day ... Blood for Oil?


How many times have we seen the bumper sticker ... "No Blood For Oil" ???

It's a very catchy slogan ... almost makes you want to agree with it without even questioning. However, those with any degree of common sense will look at that and say ... "That's Wrong! Hell yeah - we'll always put up blood for oil when necessary!

Free flowing oil at market prices is the engine of ALL, repeat ALL Western economies. Nay! It is the life blood of ALL economies period - except maybe Afghanistan - where Opium is probably the economic blood. But for any technologically advanced civilization - it all comes down to oil.

Hate it, curse it, cry about it, get flaming mad - it's still true, it's still reality. Without that oil - our economy comes to a complete and abrupt halt. Only an idiot argues otherwise.

Now, no matter what the whackos say - President Bush, nor VP Dick are trying to steal anyone's oil - they just want to make sure that the oil is not used as a weapon against the west. That means keeping the oil out of the hands of bad guys and keeping oil prices subject to the supply and demands of a free market. Anything else - is unacceptable. Anything else - and you'd better believe that war becomes an option quick.

You can either fight to keep the oil - or let your kids fight to get it back. It's that simple.

Alan Greenspan knows this is true - that's the reason he felt, and still feels, that getting rid of Saddam was ESSENTIAL.

Quote from Greenspan ...

"I'm saying taking Saddam out was essential."

Greenspan goes on to point out that protecting the free flow of oil at market prices is something that we have to do until we find an alternate source of energy ... "which ultimately we will."

When did oil become some really, really bad and poisonous substance?

Oil is good!

Oil gets you to work in the morning - and more importantly, it gets you BACK. It fuels Al Gore's jet airplanes. Oil is what gets your new DVD "An Inconvenient Truth" delivered to your doorstep from Amazon.com. Oil is what is powering those tractors in the mid-west that are harvesting that corn to make "ethanol" with. It's oil that transports that wounded baby seal found on Ocean Beach to the San Diego Seaworld where it can be nurtured back to health. Oil is what transports "medical marijuana" from the fields in Humbolt County, CA to the hack shops in downtown San Francisco.

What made O.J.'s infamous run from the police in the White Bronco possible?

That's right! OIL.

Right now, Right now ... THOUSANDS OF IPhones are being transported into this country - courtesy of oil,

Right now, some guy who just had a heart attack is being transported to a hospital - where he will end up living ...

THANKS OIL!! And that guy should thank a Republican - because if Dems had their way - he would have had to rely on a rickshaw to get to the emergency room!!

Oil is cool stuff - it's cooler than a cowbell on a Blue Oyster Cult song.

And that is the attitude everyone should have about OIL. Because - it really is that important to us - all joking aside.
