So if you're gonna be jingoist, be fully informed jingoist.
Oh, and keep waving that flag as you fund the oil cartels in not America drivin some overcompensation mobile.
.... I'm sorry. That was a bit out of line. My apologies.
Well, to be fair, one cannot be blamed for what the gov't does...
If one does not want to buy foreign products, that is ones choice... and it is taking money away from the foreign company no matter how you look at it.As far as flag waving goes, where I come from it is called patriotism.
And if we could only get rid of the left-wing, liberal, enviro-weenies, perhaps America would drill for it's own oil. But thank the democrats for hamstringing any attempts at energy independence.
If you think the economy is bad now, wait until a Democrat becomes President... that frightens me... really...Sorry for the political discourse. All of the above is my opinion only. Feel free to disagree...
780 MILLION ACRES of untapped land ready for oil drilling. Why not tap that?
Patriotism is over the top when you think that the Oil Companies and BILLIONS in profits is okay are right then you certainly have drunk the neo-con GW Bush kool-aid. Enjoy.Oh and as for us left-wing liberals. Damn straight. I would much rather breath the clean air.
Sorry off-topic.
