It's Official. . .Obama Is A Deranged Idiot. . .

Barracks Alabaster has all the answers and they are so hopey and changey.

Today, the guy floated a new hope. His new hope indicated that he will commit governmental robbery of free-market corporations doing business in a democratic and free county in an effort to corral spiraling energy prices.

Let's think about this for a sec my Merry Men.

If he takes windfall profit taxes from oil companies and distributes said taxes to poor struggling people so that they can "pay for their skyrocketing energy costs", what is going to stop them from easing down to the nearest Best Buy and buying a giant plasma tv or "qwunty-fo' inch rims fo' dey Impala?" And does this really SOLVE the energy problem America is having?

Couldn't this potentially have a negative effect on the price of energy by increasing demand, therefore increasing price because our sadistic "friends" in OPEC refuse to raise output? We just had the first reduction in oil usage in some 25-odd years and what's so wrong with that?

And then there's that other mania about reducing carbon output. Wouldn't distributing windfall taxes to the masses increase consumption and therefore increase the output of those dastardly gases Al Bore is so concerned with? Just sayin.

Then Barracks jumped all over McCain about wanting to extend President Bush's tax cuts for corporations including oil companies. How is taxing the oil companies going to reduce the price of a barrel of oil? Hhmmmm?

Why not allow these companies to use THEIR profits to build infrastructure here in the USA for the exploration, recovery and refining of oil? Now THAT is a solution and it kinda avoids that whole stealing thing by the government.

And what if, in the meantime, we give tax INCENTIVES to the struggling US automakers and outside technology companies to produce hybrid, electric, solar and fuel cell technologies for our transportation systems in an effort to reduce our dependence on foreign oil and IN THE PROCESS reducing our contribution to the destruction of polar bear icicles? Is that a good idea? Kinda leaves out that whole stealing thing again.

Speaking of robbery, it's right here in our face courtesy of OPEC which is run by a gang of hypocritical and thuggish criminals. Every day, hundreds of millions of dollars go right into the hands of this cartel, many if not most of which could give two shits about the future of the United States. Saudi Arabia and Hugo Chavez giving you the warm fuzzies all over? If so, then you are ill in the gray matter.

Barracks Alabaster? Has no gray matter, yet his hope will change it all. And with his hand firmly on the handle of the collective toilet as President, we'll all be grabbing for the deodorant puck on the way down.
