While the US mainstream press and media are consumed by Obama-mania, big things within the established Federal Government are taking place without the American people being aware to any major extent.
ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) is the Federal the watchdog on all things dealing with immigration and legal enforcement, and it has decided they cannot get involved in or even make recommendations, let alone react in any official way to obvious wrong doing by local state or county voter registration authorities, as reported by Eric Shawn, Fox News Live, Sunday July 20, 2008. Shawn’s well documented report indicated that there are questions about whether US Citizenship should be a requirement to vote in the upcoming general election. Many local authorities are now putting in place policies that restrict or ban asking potential voters whether they are US Citizens. If this were in play in the Florida General Elections in the Bush Gore Presidential election, we might have seen the outcome as a Gore Win. The insiders within this as well as other Federal agencies of our Federal Government are completely infiltrated with extreme leftists that do not want what most Americans want, honest elections particularly at the Presidential level. The current administration does not seem to have any sway over the infiltration of most of the important Federal agencies by leftists that were left in place and just continue the left policies of the prior Democrat-appointed policies. I know this sounds like whining, but truth be told this is a growing issue, and it could be either party playing loose and dangerous with the very important part of American or any free nations’ voters. All new Presidential Administrations should be able to make many changes to their legal right to make changes in Administration-directed Federal agencies, to be fair. George Bush did not exercise his legal right to do so, and shame on him. To allow non-US Citizens the right to Primary or General elections is criminal in my view.
Ok, now I look into reports this morning that our US Congress is calling for an additional Federal ten cents tax hike on a gallon of gasoline, to fuel, “no pun intended”, new funds for the “Federal Highway Fund” , and many are seeing this as a response to two liberal favorites, the Union Construction Industry Lobby, and a way to keep gasoline prices high at the pump to justify the liberal’s strongest interest to force American taxpayers to stop driving and to buy only energy efficient cars thereby stifling the drill for oil progress. Most Americans drive their cars for 7-12 years so Americans will suffer under this kind of forced and false concept that we cannot drill our way out of some of our energy crisis.
Al Gore’s newest epic and ridiculous mandate that I just learn of this week:
…. “America must commit to producing 100 percent of our electricity from renewable energy and other clean sources within 10 years.”… The answer to this is best to quote part of an article entitled “Is Al Gore Nuts?” Written by Neal Dikeman, a very strong environmentalist, published in Green Tech, CNET News.com July 17, 2008 as follows: “And as far as paying for it, there was an article in the San Francisco Chronicle today calculating our Federal government long term liabilities at $450,000 per American already mainly for Medicare and Social Security. Actually trying to replace our entire fossil fuel infrastructure within 10 years would push that to how much? Somebody please do the math before we launch a government funded mission to the moon, or legislate that our citizens pay for it instead. On costs, Mr. Gore made the statement in his speech ‘Our families cannot stand 10 more years of gas price increases.’ I agree, but Mr. Gore, your 10 year, hell for leather, man to moon race for 100% renewable energy would guarantee just that.”
If Mr. Gore is allowed his way, our economy will begin to grind to new lows, due to transportation costs and distribution system failures upcoming. We need a Herculean effort starting now to drill domestically where ever needed to get more fossil fuel, to move away from dependence on unfriendly foreign generated oil, move aggressively on all the other types of energy including wind, nuclear, solar, hydrogen, everything on the table to keep our national security and economic well being in good order.
