Melissa’s Cozy Teacup

Did you know that Alaska is about 58 MILLION acres big. 58 Million.  Let that sink in for a minute. Now, in Alaska, there is a huge oil reserve. Yes, it’s huge, but it is ONLY roughly 2 million acres out of 58 million. Two. Our fuel has been held hostage by environmental terrorists. I despise environmental terrorists. Why? Because unless they are growing their own food, clothes and riding horses everywhere or walking, they are hypocrites. It is not just fuel that consumes energy folks. If you wear any items of clothing for which you are not producing the raw materials, you are consuming raw energy and resources in the manufacturing and shipping of those clothes. Unless you grow your own food, you are consuming raw energy in the growing and shipping of everything you eat, and use in America. You simply cannot get away from it. So, while enviro. terrorists wag their fingers at everyone else and try to keep us from using our own natural resources, other countries are stealing our supplies.

So, FINALLY, the Interior Dept. has opened up 2.6 million acres for drilling. Woohoo! Oh, and while our lovely enrivo. terrorists keep us from using our own resources via off shore drilling, China is stealing our oil. See, China doesn’t care if we use our oil or not, it’s just more for them.  So while we’re all lighting candles and singing Kum-bye-ah over spotted owls and sacrificing our fuel because of hysteria over destroying the environment, China positions oil crews just beyond our borders and sucks up our much needed resources. That, my dears, is messed up! If there is going to be drilling for oil off our shores, it should be we who are doing the drilling. America must once again become self sustaining. We are too dependent on other nations for food, fuel and manufacturing.

America is again in a battle for her independence. Independence from foreign dependence.
