BLACK GOLD

Stopped for gas today. 17 gallons at $4.009 per. Came to just over $70.00!!

Two stations within a few minutes drive time were adding costs to your bill if you charged your gas.
If you charged your gas????
Imagine pulling in for a fillup and having to fork out $70.00 in cash!!!!!!!
Good grief!!!!!!

Why on earth would a Mobil or BP gas station charge ‘charge’ customers more than ‘cash’ customers??

That is my question tonight.

And my thought for tonight: watch out ,greens, as the price of gas continues to go up.

Your inane demands for green legislation will falter and fail as the price of fuel rises.

You will not be able to tax and raise money to pay to your special interests and you will not be able to indulge in uselessly berating US Oil and have a gullible American public pay any attention to you. Or rather, the public will not care what you have to say.

The US needs oil. It is our black gold. Our economy, our society cannot function w/o it.

The world market is crowding our space.

We have our own oil. We are not allowing ourselves to exploit it!!

It has long been a belief in this bailiwick that the US will never allow the spigot to run dry.

The US will do whatever is necessary to keep the flow…flowing.

It will not run dry.

Not even if b.o. or hillary is in the driver’s seat.

Wiser heads will prevail.
The hyper power will have the black gold.

The oil regions should know this. They really do know this.

More importantly, the ‘powersthatbe’, the ones that do not talk the political gibberish in primaries, know this.

To put it more simply, the politics of oil is not a game. It is a matter of the life and death of a way of life. It has nothing to do with satisfying this or that interest group or racial minority or labor union.

little englanders do not run this show. They might try and indeed they do try.

But they only get anywhere when the hyper power has breathing room, has security.

When push comes to shove; when the chips are going down; when the price of petroleum is working up toward $5.00 or $6.00 or higher, then the little englanders' voices become weaker and weaker.

Watch and see.

The greens will wither as the petroleum/energy crisis develops.

The Republic will not roll over .
