WUI (Writing under the influence)

...was prompted by what Washington Post did recently.

The authors who are clearly agents of the left and who for some reason despise energy independence of freedom loving societies like ours are trying to explain here why they lie.  It's pathetic!

One of the commenters puts it succinctly: "for leftists, a lie that furthers the cause is not really a lie."

Indeed.

The reason why Putin can do whatever he wants is energy.  While Western Europe has been ridding itself of cheap, plentiful energy sources while wasting money on unpredictable and inefficient ones such as wind and solar, Putin has been signing contracts on oil and gas deliveries all over Europe.

The result?  My mother's state pension check is not enough to cover her energy needs.  Of course, she doesn't rely on her state pension check as it should be but it is interesting how European politicians, including those who should know better (e.g., the Polish people know who Putin is,) would rather import energy from an enemy -- yes, Putin is our geopolitical enemy #1 no matter what Democrats used to say -- instead of exploring their own.

Now, we are doing the same thing in the US.  We have a chance to become the biggest producer and exporter of energy ever.  We can also, in the meantime, import cheap energy cheaply from Canada by building the Keystone XL pipeline. 

But some elements in our society are set against it. 

They are either very stupid, or, more likely, very evil.

It looks like it takes brains to win a basketball game.  Duke is out.  Oregon is out.  Why?

The other side had more goodies to offer.

So, as Hitler annexed Czechoslovakia, they were thinking about the next election.



How reassured are you that we are in good hands?  Than you, takers.  At least you have your food stamps, right?

And one more thing.  I'm pretty sure that at least a couple of them -- and they are all dim, I admit -- as they look at Obama say something utterly irrational again, are thinking "We are so fucked..."

To which I only have one question: We? What about your children?
