[mos6507]

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Plantagenet', '
')In 2008 Obama was against offshore drilling. Then in 2010 Obama abandoned his opposition to offshore drilling and ordered a vast expansion of areas open to offshore drilling along the east and west and Florida coasts....only to reverse himself yet again after the BP oil disaster happened on his watch.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Outcast_Searcher', 'O')bama's energy policies are a mess.

[PrestonSturges]

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Outcast_Searcher', 'W')ell, I agree. And economically, I tend to lean right, certainly far more than left. However, on this type of issue the far right goes too far.

I find the position of the far right (which this FOX piece has been consistently spouting, at least in the VAST majority of any editorial comment from the right wing speakers I have seen on FOX News for several years now), while at least consistent, completely unrealistic and destructive in the long term.

The far right, IMO, OFTEN uses science denial to push their agendas. The main agendas are:
1). Push for the exploitation of all economic resources, and the hell with the consequences now, and especially later (to the planet or to future generations). This makes obvious sense (now) for the super-rich, but how about everyone else?
2). Push for "Christian" based values, such as family values. Things like the ludicrous position of denying evolution, despite ALL the evidence, are clear indicators of this. I'm all for morality, but using lies to try to legitimize one's position (and force one's personal lifestyle choices on everyone else) will lead to bad policy.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Plantagenet', '

Fox News represents a certain culture. This is the culture of Rush Limbaugh, Nascar and fried chicken. They aren't going to hear anything anybody else has to say. They can't hear anything outside of their own sphere of influence.

They think that the earth is a big jelly donut filled with lots of oil. The only reason we can't drill it is that the enviros are all worked up about baby seals and coddling those welfare creeps and won't let them drill baby drill.

If they could just get Obama to give in there would be abundance again.
