Welcome, ladies and gentlemen to Castrati Thursday on the EIB network.
Rush Limbaugh from the distinguished and prestigious Limbaugh Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies.
It's great to have you with us.
The telephone number is 800 282-2882 if you want to join us today.
And of course, the email address is Lrushbow at EIB net.com.
I mentioned this earlier in the program, my friends.
Last night, minding my own business, as I always do, working feverishly on show prep for this program, became aware of a blog posting at ABC News.
In fact, let me uh go over here and get this.
Limbaugh begins second phase of Operation Chaos is the headline.
And I read this piece, and I forget the blogger at ABC who posted it, but it was uh panic-filled.
It was uh well, not panic filled, but there was you could read there was an element of fright in this.
That I had initiated phase two of Operation Chaos centered around the Democrat Party platform and the way they're gonna write it this year, they're gonna have this big smoke and mirrors thing, where in all 47 states they're gonna have a bunch of places where you, the average voter, can walk in there and sit down with actual real elitist Democrat operatives and write the Democrat Party platform.
That's what they want you to think.
I said, Well, what a golden opportunity for Operation Chaos troops to go in there and infiltrate this and try to get conservatism written into the Democrat Party platform.
Well, later on, after the ABC News blog story hit, the Democrat National Committee says, come on in.
They posted something on their own website from Michael Iakey, the party's national platform director, and this is what he said.
We'd like to thank Rush Limbaugh for publicizing the listening to America events and extend an open invitation to him and his listeners to attend.
The Democrat Party is not afraid to listen to the wide array of views the American people have on issues they care about.
That's what makes our nation strong.
People across the country of all political persuasions are tired of business as usual in Washington, and people like Limbaugh, who are more concerned with scoring political points than changing the direction of our country.
They still don't get me.
Changing the direction of the country is what I'm totally about by diminishing liberalism and Democrats.
At any rate, unlike John McCain and the Republican Party, the Lord Messiah Barack Obama and the Democrat National Committee are encouraging Americans across the country to get involved, make their voices heard.
And then in quotes from Michael Yaqui, if Limbaugh's ditto heads want to join other Americans, united in their belief that their voices should be heard in Washington, talking about their hopes, their dreams and concerns in their living rooms, community centers, and churches, and reporting back on these discussions to the platform drafting committee, then they are welcome to join one of the 655 events in 47 states organized in just 24 hours.
So I don't know where to know what churches are going to meet in.
It's up to Operation Chaos Chaos Troops to find out.
I mean, 47 states, 655 events.
My friends, do you see what's happening here?
No longer do we have to infiltrate.
You have been invited by the Democrat.
You can wear your uniform.
You can wear your Operation Chaos gear.
You can wear your Operation Chaos t-shirt and hat.
And you can walk, and they are going to welcome you, it says here.
Now we all know the truth here.
The truth was to be found in the ABC blog post last night.
That headline might as well have said, uh-oh.
Oh no.
You know behind the scenes.
They know Operation Chaos Phase 1 was successful.
And they're sitting around.
And they're basically saying, damn it.
We weren't thinking.
And we're going to have Limbaugh's people in here.
So they go to their website, make it sound like, come on in, we'd love to have you here, and so forth.
Well, the invitation has been extended, ladies and gentlemen.
You Operation Chaos troops now no longer have to operate in covert fashion.
You will not be threatened with indictment or jail like you were during the election.
Yes.
Yes.
You know what'll happen?
Well, I don't want to maybe give him the idea, but I I you know, but if if this really gets big, if there are enough Operation Chaos troops, if a number of you actually infiltrate, I imagine that they'll have a plan to set up freedom cages and put you all in there.
While the rest of the citizens sit at whatever locations they sit and write what will never be read by the Democrat Party platform, where the bottom line is this is a giant smoke and mirrors thing.
So you might be saying, well, in a rush, why should we do it?
For the fun of it to go into a Democrat Party meeting, which supposedly is going to write the platform, you know all these rank and file Democrat schlubs are gonna go in there thinking they matter.
They're thinking Obama's gonna read everything they care about.
They're gonna be dead serious, and you go in there, you are of good cheer, you're having a great time, and every platform idea you have is tax cut this, tax cut that.
Let's finally make it official.
We need to overturn Roe vs.
Wade, and then watch the fireworks.
Hell's Bells, folks.
By the way, special announcement from the Justice Brothers.
My friends, no.
An emergency action update from the Justice Brothers.
Well now, you've probably heard that one of us has had an open mic accident.
And was it me?
But I have broadcast insurance from the Justice Brothers.
We've been telling you how important broadcast insurance was.
But why didn't you go out?
Now we have an opportunity to brainstorm and show you how hard we work to protect you from catastrophic loss.
Uh yeah.
Uh first, we will attempt to defuse the situation by coming up with a plausible and probable excuse like uh misspoke.
Yeah, uh what I meant to say was uh this is a tough one.
I was misquoted.
But they were courting you!
That's not me.
That's it!
That's all you got!
I was in another dementia?
Uh yeah, let's go with that one.
Uh see!
It's just that simple.
And we'll work just as hard for you.
Broadcast insurance from the Justice Brothers.
Smart streetwise protection from open microphones.
Well, his flip-floppin' around.
He should have been glad I said ahead in the gone there.
Hey, hey, Jesse, you don't look so good.
Uh, you want to go shake somebody down?
No.
We can do something easy, like march out in front of a fast food place against uh greasy food and calories.
No.
Are you sure it'll make you feel better?
Well, i i it would be fun to say some grain from the machine.
Hey, is your mic still on?
Are you kidding?
You think I'm that stupid?
Sad news, uh, ladies and gentlemen out of Tokyo.
A Japanese labor bureau has ruled that one of Toyota's top car engineers died from working too many hours.
This is the latest in a string of such findings in a nation where extraordinarily long hours for some employees has long been the norm.
The man who died was 45 years old.
He had been under severe pressure as the lead engineer in developing a hybrid version of Toyota's blockbuster Camry line.
The uh the man's identity is being withheld at the request of his family who continue to live in Toyota City, Toyota City, where the company is based.
In the uh last two months of his life, the man averaged more than 80 hours of overtime per month.
He regularly worked nights and weekends, was frequently sent abroad and was grappling with shipping a model for the pivotal North American International Auto Show in Detroit When he died of heart disease in January 2006.
The man's daughter found his body at their home the day before he was to leave for the United States.
Global warming has claimed yet another victim.
We heard yesterday of the sad case of a 17-year-old kid in Australia who had to be checked into the psycho ward because he refused to drink water, fearing that if he did, the world would run out of it.
Global warming delusion syndrome.
And now a man working on a hybrid has literally worked himself to death.
Brief timeout, ladies and gentlemen.
We'll be back.
Your phone calls and other exciting things yet to happen here on Castrati Thursday on the EIB network.
Amidst billowing clouds of fragrant aromatic first and second hands premium cigar smoke.
I am Rush Limboy here on the Excellence in Broadcasting Network.
All right.
Senator Phil Graham, you may have heard about this.
Ladies and gentlemen, Phil Graham did an interview with the Washington Times.
And he is a top economic advisor to Senator McCain.
Phil Graham finally we got some hard hitting truth from the McCain campaign.
Phil Graham referred to the economic slowdown as a mental recession and called the United States a nation of whiners.
Mike Allen, writing about this at the Politico.com says that these comments by Phil Graham could hurt McCain's efforts to convince working class Americans that McCain feels their pain.
Democrats immediately condemn the remarks as callous, quickly began working to gain widespread attention to them.
Democrat National Committee issued a statement titled Out of Touch Much Phil.
A McCain official said that Mr. Graham was simply saying that we are laying out the economic plan this week.
The plan is comprehensive, building immediate near-term relief for Americans hurting today, as well as longer term solutions to get our economy back on track.
Anyway, McCain is now denounced.
Phil Graham.
McCain has said that he did look.
He doesn't speak for me.
He ever did.
That's what he said.
He said, Phil Graham doesn't speak for him.
This is tough love.
Look at all he meant by mental recession is that the drive-bys have created a negative economic picture far worse than reality.
You know, I've I've made it a point to do some studies.
I mean, these are anecdotal.
But I I flip around last night.
I tried this.
You know, I haven't done this a long time.
But I flicked around to every baseball game I could find on television.
And I was stunned.
For the most part, 80% occupancy or more in the stands.
Takes a lot of gasoline to get there.
A lot of $10 hot dogs.
$5 for a thimble of beer.
People are still there.
Uh the.
Yeah, but not saying that it's problematic with $4 plus gasoline and so forth, but the idea that we're in a recession, we're not in a recession.
And yet all Phil Graham was saying was that uh, you know, you know what he was saying.
It really comes down to buck up with a B. Buck up, America.
Buck up.
Anybody can hang around and whine and hear a bunch of negative talk and react to it.
That's not who Americans are.
But then when we have mothers breaking down into tears, when a little eight-year-olds go to summer camp.
The buck up message might not be properly understood.
Anyway, the Lord Messiah Barack Obama has reacted this afternoon in Fairfax, Virginia.
Former Senator Phil Graham said that we're we're merely in a mental recession.
That's what he said.
Said we're in a mental recession.
He didn't say this, but I guess what he meant was that it's a figment of your imagination, these high gas prices.
Senator Graham then deemed the United States, and I quote, a nation of whiners.
Stop the tape a second.
A nation of whiners.
Yeah, I'll tell you why it's a nation of whiners because your party is a bunch of whiners.
Your party has a patent on whining.
All your party does is wine each and every day from Harry Reid to Nancy Pelosi, whine and moan and complain and accuse.
And you do too.
Senator Obama, you don't care about the high gas price.
Here's the rest of this uh statement.
Now, this comes after Senator McCain recently admitted that his energy proposals you know for the gas tax holiday and the drilling will have mainly, quote, psychological benefits.
I I want all of you to know that America already has one Dr. Phil.
We don't need another one.
When it comes to the economy, we need somebody to actually solve the economy.
It's not just a figment of your imagination.
What in that solve the economy?
There is no such thing, sir, as solving the economy.
You might be well advised to try to understand the economy, and then you would realize that solving it's just another problem.
And liberals think they have all the answers.
Birmingham, Alabama, this is David.
I'm glad you called, sir.
Nice to have you on a Rush Limbaugh program.
Thank you, Rush.
So in hospitality, six-figure income earning, SUV driving, gun carrying ditto you, sir.
Another bitter clinger has called in from the heart.
Absolutely.
And congratulations on the new contract, you're still underpaid.
Thank you, sir, very, very much.
Well, thank you.
I'm I'm just ready for Senator McCain to go to the closet, find that shoebox, he put his cajonies in and put them back on for a while.
You know, I mean, the guy is just becoming a nadless wonder.
I mean, it's it's frustrating.
I mean, everything when Obama says something, well, you know, he just wants to meatly mouth around about it.
Put his foot down, challenge him to some debates, challenge him to stand up you know in front of his own and not with his string pullers to talk.
He can't.
He's clueless.
He has well, he's challenged him to town hall meetings, but Obama wisely said no.
Hey, Death, he needs to keep challenging him.
He needs to keep on.
I mean, stand up.
I mean, just like all this terrorist stuff.
We're not going to be attacked as a lot of people.
I don't think you understand this, uh.
David, uh McCain is is running uh an honorable campaign.
Honor can have pride to it.
I mean, act like you got a pair, McCain, if you're listening.
I mean, don't be afraid to stand up.
There's a lot of Americans out there who believe it.
I mean, it's scary.
I mean, part of me almost thinks we're gonna have to endure four years of Obama just so we can, you know, like we had to do, we can do a four years of of Carter.
You know, because as great as Reagan was, Carter made him better.
Well, maybe maybe Senator McCain will get around to Obama once he finishes denouncing all his supporters.
I hope so.
I hope so.
But Rush, thank you so much.
Keep up the good fight, sir.
Thanks, David, very much.
Robert in Cincinnati, welcome to the EIB network, sir.
Hello.
Hey, how are you doing, Rush?
Just fine, sir.
Thank you.
Yeah, I was calling about the proposal to uh for the 55 mile an hour speed limit.
Yeah, one of my favorite topics.
Well, I just think that I've never heard that uh that slowing down and taking longer is is beneficial to anybody.
Uh I don't I don't know where uh that would help.
I've never heard that on any job I've ever had to slow down and and take longer doing something.
You've never heard you have you The only time I've ever heard that Rush is uh from my wife.
Yeah, yeah, I was gonna ask you.
I was gonna suggest here that uh you have the I was gonna say you had to have heard it uh at some point.
Well early in the marriage.
That's what I'm saying.
Exactly.
Slow down and and take take longer, yes.
Well, you know, yeah, that's true.
But uh uh it's when you you have to calculate the uh the the value of time lost.
You know, people are just not out joyriding around.
They're going places because they have to get some place.
Exactly.
And a lot of longer to get his produce to the market is not a life.
Well, there's one other thought about this.
This whole business of of driving 55 to save mileage and save gasoline and and all That uh I bet your car's probably a little bit more efficient at 65 or 70 than it is at 55, but beyond that, it's not gonna save significant amount because it doesn't need to be saved.
I ran out of time here.
I'm gonna finish this thought before.
All right.
Let me see if I can make this point.
I normally communicate very well.
Uh 55 mil an hour speed limit.
The expressed purpose here is to save oil and to conserve gasoline and all that.
We do not have a shortage.
We don't have a shortage.
I don't care what anybody's telling you.
You whenever you go to the pump, it's there, is it not?
Okay, well, we don't have a shortage.
So cutting back to 55 is simply another gimmick, and it will bollocks everything up.
There's a reason that it was repealed.
It's an economic drag for one thing when you factor the time value of money.
But beyond all of that, here's the thing that I look at.
You know, they just redid the Pentagon just redid the uh re-up on the tanker deal, and Boeing got it away from Airbus.
Now, this, you know what tankers are?
These are these are uh large converted airliners that refuel military airplanes uh in the air during military operations and and training exercises and so forth.
They're going to buy lots and lots of these tankers, and these tankers are going to hold a lot more jet fuel than just that necessary to propel themselves.
We read that the uh United Arab Emirates have ordered hundreds of jets into the future from Airbus and other places.
Now, the and the airlines are, you know, they're parking airplanes, but they're gonna have to replace some of these older with new ones with more efficient engines and so forth.
The bottom line, all of these plans being made down the line way into the future, do not incorporate the notion that there will not be jet fuel.
Just the opposite.
You don't invest this kind of money that long down the road if you think there's going to be a problem with supply of jet fuel.
Now you might be saying, yeah, well, even if there is Russia, the military will get first dibs on it.
Probably so, but the the the the the consumer uh aircraft and airline industry is expanding and growing around the country in terms of well, they're cutting back in the United States on domestic flights, but nobody's planning on a shortage of jet fuel or gasoline down the road.
All of this is smoke and mirrors from the environmentalists.
They're running out, it's a finite supply, we've got to go to alternative.
They're scaring you to death with this.
There's no reality to it whatsoever.
Airline manufacturers are announcing new models all the time.
Boeing's got the uh 787 Dreamliner coming out.
Corporate aircraft makers are constantly building new airplanes, bigger ones.
Gulfstream's coming out with a G-650 in uh in 2012.
Now it's gonna be more fuel efficient than anything they've got now by some, but it's bigger.
It's a wide body, it's a much bigger airplane.
They've not they're not figuring there's not gonna be jet fuel, are they?
They're figuring gonna be plenty of it.
And they took something like 600 orders for one the first day from around the world.
And the first plane's not gonna roll off the assembly line till 2012, if they're on time.
You know, you wouldn't figure all this.
People aren't gonna be buying these airplanes if they think there's not gonna be any jet fuel, right?
And they're certainly not gonna make them if there isn't gonna be any jet fuel.
And yet the auto industry is doing what?
Trying to figure out ways to make lawnmowers into automobiles.
Now, a lot of that is due to the high price of gas and people don't want to pay a whole lot for it, and that's the market working, that's fine and dandy.
But this 55 mile an hour speed limit, it's just another area of control over people's lives that's gonna really interrupt a lot of people's value of their time.
Uh people that travel for business, the longer they spend on the road, the less time they're gonna have to spend with whoever they're there to see, or the less time they're gonna have with their families or what have you.
In the airline business, flight in general.
Have you ever wondered why they never suggest while we cut back to 55, have you never said, if you ever wondered why, well, if if if we can save gasoline and conserve, how come The airlines don't just throttle back to 350 miles an hour instead of five.
Well, let me give you one example.
Let's talk about an international flight.
It's a Boeing 747 or a jumbo somewhere.
And let's say it's going to go New York that's a 17-hour flight.
Singapore.
Indonesia somewhere.
They've got to carry for 17 hours, probably, I don't know how many flight crew, at least four pilots for crew change during the flight.
I don't know what the union rules are, but I figured that eight hours is it max, and then you get a new crew in there, and you want a new fresh crew in there on that flight for the landing.
I don't know how many flight attendants, you slow them down to where that flight takes X, they might not be able to make it nonstop, depending on winds, and how many more crew are they going to have to put on board to handle slowing down?
And really, how much more fuel are they going to use?
You'd have to look at the drag coefficients to find out, you know, some of these things can't get up to where the air is really thin.
These heavies, you know, 37, 39,000 feet may be it for the you know a significant portion of the flight till they burn off some fuel and get lighter.
A corporate jet go up to 45, 47, 50, 1,000 feet and uh and do mock uh, you know, 0.88 or whatever, and there's hardly very much, very much uh less wind resistance.
But even at that, even at that, I asked some uh aviation experts.
It really is amazing to me.
Here we are, we're advancing technologically like nothing.
We got a space shuttle, we got little rovers up on Mars.
How c what why is it that we can't go faster than the speed of sound?
You know, we're limited by the speed of sound domestically, because people don't want to hear the booms.
And he said, No, no, no, no, you don't understand flight is a series of compromises.
Weight, speed, altitude.
The faster you go at lower altitudes, the greater the wind resistance.
It's not just that the thrust propels you through, it's that the air gets thicker and it becomes heavier for you to get through.
So by the time you uh try to go from Mach 82 to 85 at certain altitude, it may be cost prohibitive.
You you may not gain that much speed based on the fuel that's going to be required to get you that additional speed because of the wind resistance.
And the same thing can happen at slower altitudes as well.
You can, or slower speeds, you can also increase the drag coefficient.
Uh if if you slow down.
Uh so you may not even be really saving all that much.
The point is, from an engineering standpoint, airplanes are designed to fly at the speeds and altitudes they fly at in terms of economics and safety.
You want a high altitude because you want thin air.
The thinner the air, the less fuel theoretically you use, because it takes less thrust to get you through that air.
Uh and the higher you can go the better.
The superson, the the Concord flew at 60.
You could see the curvature of the Earth.
But you couldn't turn on the afterburners until you got so far out to sea uh so that the booms only disturb the whales, you know, and screw them.
The environmentalists heard about it.
But but throttling back the airlines on the concept is gonna save money, it's gonna do just the opposite.
It's gonna increase Q uh uh crew costs, because uh it's gonna it's it's gonna slow down people getting where they have to go.
It's gonna make the aircraft inefficient.
What, Mr. Snerdley?
What's the what's the question of Well, it's not the most well, the Concorde's not the most efficient because it economic efficiency, it cost by the time they shut the thing down.
What was the first?
I think it was five five or seven, it might have been seventy, five hundred dollars one way.
I mean, it to fly, that thing flew two thousand miles an hour.
It you you go New York to London to Paris in three hours as opposed to seven or eight, depending on what city on the East Coast you're living in.
I mean, that burned a lot of fuel.
When you were on a Concord, and when you were coming in for a landing, they they very rarely made the Concorde suffer delays or circle, because they'd have a fuel to do it.
I mean, they were they were coming in, they had plenty of reserves and so forth.
They were not violating any of those regulations.
But I mean, it it took it took a lot, a lot of fuel to fly that thing that fast.
Four engines, or however they were configured, for you know, you figure uh two of the three hours they're they're on afterburner at uh, you know, you know, Mach two or whatever, with 1,500 miles, whatever whatever it was, I forget it just burns a lot of fuel.
So it gets to the point where it's cost prohibitive for a passenger or even cargo people, and they're not a rough room on one of those things to to ship cargo.
Just that just uh after a while with fuel costs and the way they were and maintaining those airplanes and they uh they didn't make any new ones.
So we're we're sitting here in the the supersonic uh transport speeds now are um they're still on the drawing board, but they're on the drawing board and there are people working on them.
Now that has to also mean that the people doing that don't figure there's going to be a fuel source or fuel supply problem down the road.
What they're trying to do is make it affordable for people.
You couldn't fly the Concord coast to co coast to coast in the it wouldn't there's no advantage to it because you couldn't go supersonic because it just blow people's windows out with the sonic booms.
I happen to like sonic booms because I like aviation, but you know, most people, nation of winers and started complaining to the cops about it and shut it down.
Okay, we're back, Moscow Hills, Missouri, and uh let's say this is Rich, nice to have you on the EIB network, sir.
Hello.
Hey, Rush, great to talk to you.
Love the show.
Um I want to address the uh statement that you sometimes make about do not doubt me.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Well, you had a caller today that uh wanted to maybe a long story short, wanted to nationalize big oil to pay for social security.
The new oil that we're going to drill for, yeah.
Yeah, exactly.
Now, I'm sure there's listeners, and I was thinking of my daughter who teaches, you know, she's out of school right now, and you know, she's indoctrinated.
And I'm thinking of all the young people out there that listen to you, and they probably doubt you.
They have they're you know, it takes six weeks, you you say, to get up to speed.
And so when you say that the Democrats do not want to solve the oil problem, they probably think, you know, who is this guy saying such a ridiculous thing?
But these people thrive when there's problems because human nature, unfortunately, it seems to me, unless you have some conservative values, human nature says, look to government.
Now, this man that called you, that's exactly what he did.
I don't think he was a liberal, but his answer to the problem is to have government take it over.
No, just the opposite.
He was a conservative.
Well, that's even worse.
Well, that's why I accused him of being a selfish citizen.
Yes.
Well, I'm 64.
I've got more than Social Security coming in.
But, you know, if people don't realize that government is not the answer, it's the problem by now.
I was I was a Marine in 66 in Vietnam.
I saw the Democrats and what they did to that.
And in the 70s, I saw Governor Reagan, and I almost fell off my couch.
I stopped watching news in 1970, national news.
I saw Governor Reagan on a tonight show, I about fell off the couch because he said we should have gone to Vietnam, but we should have won gone to win.
Now that was after everybody in this country assumed it was a mistake, and here was a politician from California saying something, and I believe me, I almost fell off the couch.
But that's the kind of man Reagan was.
If he'd have gone, he'd have won it.
So, you know, I and then in 89 you came along, and I've been in advanced conservative studies ever since.
But it's it's amazing how people will fall for the Democrats.
My father, God love him, he was a Democrat till he was ninety-one and passed away, but I couldn't say Reagan in front of him because he read the post dispatch all his life.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I know.
Uh our family read the Globe Democrat.
Well, yeah, until he went out of business.
Until they went out of business, that's right.
Yeah, so now we've got just one.
Yeah.
Well, you know, we talk about this.
This is uh this is a uh a m an item that puzzles a lot of people.
Why, with all the demonstrable failures of government trying to do this or that, all these vast expensive programs, all the little bureaucracies and cities and counties and states and so forth, why do people continue to turn to government?
And a lot of it's psychological.
You got to remember the New Deal formed the basis for a lot of union and Democrat households to pass on the benevolence notion of government to their kids and grandkids and so forth, and people just grew up thinking it.
And it and and there's another aspect to it, too, and I haven't given this a lot of thought, but most people's laments generally have to do with money and economics.
Yes.
And there's one place that's got an endless supply of money and is always giving it away, and that's government.
They're always giving it away to somebody.
Yep.
And they're always giving a lot of it away.
They're spending, what, 800 bucks on toilet seats for military aircraft.
They are spending all kinds of money in it.
And when somebody from the government comes along and says, we can make sure that you don't get screwed by an insurance company, by a doctor, by a car dealer or whatever.
Uh people who think that they're powerless, think the government's everything but powerless, and it's okay, fine, give it a shot.
And it it's it's uh it's it's this is purely psychological because the facts on the ground clearly indicate that you if you start depending on government for much of what you want or need in life, you're gonna be perpetually poor and disappointed.
Well, maybe it goes to that point that a lot of people think that's unfortunately could be true, and that is it has to be so bad before it gets better.
Well, I think that's another psychological ploy the Democrats used.
If you go back to the Clinton campaign in 1992, worst economy in the last fifty years, which was a lie.
Well, I was thinking more of our oil situation, you know.
Maybe now we'll start drilling.
Now that it's four dollars.
You know, they got people when they go to the to fill up their cars, I can't imagine what they're thinking.
I mean, I'm retired.
I know I know what they're thinking.
They're mad as hell.
Well, this is such a golden opportunity for the Republicans.
This ought to be the Republicans' year.
The Democrat Party is the one standing in the way of anything being done about the price of gasoline coming down.
Now, there's a tipping point for everything.
We've learned what it is when it comes to gasoline, the tipping point's four dollars a gallon.
That's when people say, I'm I'm not gonna adapt.
I've had it, this of a sudden they start getting mad and they want action taken.
Uh the Democrats, they they're they're making noises here that they're gonna open up to drilling and so forth, but they're just saying that to be able to occupy the position.
If a piece of legislation ever gets to Congress, House or the Senate, you watch the Democrats will either insert something a bill or find something in the bill.
No doubt.
So that they can still have the hey, I'm for drilling, but we can't do it.
This we got to do it a smarter way or whatever.
Exactly.
You know, I I think of that gas tank again, and and you know, we had snipers in Vietnam.
And I think of the average citizen in this country, uh, you know, they're after our freedom, basically.
I mean, if you want to really generalize it in a big way, and and they've got them pinned down.
They've got them pinned down at the gas tape station.
You know, they're shooting at them.
They're they're taking away their freedom when they take away their ability to travel, to to buy things, and and and it is more hideous than that because all of that, this gasoline price is directly related to the uh man-made global warming hoax, which is the big vehicle for taking away liberty and freedom.
Unbelievable.
I mean, that one that one actually seeks to punish people.
If you if you walk around town in Moscow Mills, Missouri, go to the right place, you'll find enough liberals.
You may have to travel to St. Louis to do it, but you'll find enough liberals think, good, it's about time gas got this high.
We are destroying the plant.
You've got a bunch of just totally sycophant slave nerds, liberals who believe it all this is good, that America deserves to pay this kind of punishing price, which is another problem that we've got, and that that mindset finds itself now as prominent in the Democrat Party.
