Exported fuel is hiking gas prices
The increase in gasoline prices is not attributable to worldwide supply problems. Threats by Iran to close the Strait of Hormuz are partly responsible for the increased prices, but another culprit is our oil industry.
In 2011 U.S. refineries exported a record amount of refined fuels to foreign markets. In December 2011, fuel exports averaged 2.89 million barrels a day, compared to an average of 1.25 million barrels a day in 2007. Higher prices paid in foreign markets attracted U.S. exports.
Fuels exported overseas means less fuel in this country and higher gasoline prices. Our oil companies have put profits ahead of our econo ... continue reading »
Ron Paul and Shariah
Molotov, I love you, brother. And I appreciate your scolding of Dr. Paul for his cheering Obama’s apology to Islam.
But something puzzles me about your unwavering support of the congressman. You see, I agree with you concerning Rep. Paul’s profoundly consistent approach to constitutional republicanism. I put him right up there with Alan Keyes as far as understanding our founding documents. I laud the congressman’s desire to deconstruct, wrecking-ball style, all of the current abominable alphabet soup agencies over which our founders would be calling for revolution.

[To Joseph Farah:] My question is why are you so hung up on gays and birth control? I thought the country was in a constitutional emergency. You know, violation of the right to own guns, violation of freedom of speech, no-knock searches, access to emails, voicemail and, above all, the trillions of dollars from the Fed and high unemployment. All this going on and Santorum is running down gays and arguing about birth control; it shows what is important to him and the so-called tea party.
I have voted Republican all my life, but with the leaders for the nomination as they stand, I cannot and will not vote Republican. You are totally ou ... continue reading »
Thanks, Mr. Farah!
In response to the story regarding the “gay hit list,” I was glad and heartened to see Joseph Farah of WND listed.
As a dedicated reader of WND and the hard-hitting news stories of today that other media will not touch, and a fan of their White House correspondent, Les Kinsolving of WCBM, AM 680 in Baltimore, I find that the inclusion of Farah in the gay hit list to be praise of the highest order!
Checking the gays’ page on Mr. Farah, one finds he is credited with statements that are at the ... continue reading »
The nation is lost
The population of America has lost its ability to support and maintain a democracy. Our younger citizens are no longer interested in the government. Incumbents are re-elected because voters cannot be bothered to pay attention to new candidates. As a nation we have lost the concept of every American being a citizen and an active participant of the government. The saturation of TV with ads virtually guarantees election.
People get the government they deserve. We now have what we have deserved for 30 years! The nation is lost. Sad but real.

Obama will set you free
Please do not send me any more trash mail against Obama because he is going to set you free. I will subscribe to a Democratic link or website. That is why I do not buy anything from any Republican Party companies. They are selfish and self-centered. I am Spanish-American, and they call me beaner, wetback, you name it. I [have] been called everything in the book; but USA is the melting pot of society, and Spaniards conquered the world, and I am a Vietnam vet and proud to be Spanish-American. I can say I saved your stinky a–.
