I just signed a petition demanding that Congress lift
the federal ban on offshore drilling immediately —
before they take their month-long summer break. Members
of Congress are doing nothing while gas prices soar.

Stupid drivers are one of my biggest pet peeves. I try to not be the angry driver guy but some times the Mr Hyde in me comes out when I’m driving..
I just got back last week from vacation and a family reunion in Colorado which is about a 1300 mile round trip for me here in Phoenix to my parents house and back. Which let me see a lot of things to complain about/drive me nuts. I need one of those shirts “WARNING: do not annoy the crazy person!!” Better yet I need a bumper sticker on both ends of my truck in huge letters. More explicitly the 6’3″ 225 pound irritable guy who almost always has a Glock 23, 40 Caliber hand gun with him.
This is one that I see a lot on the interstate and have had truckers do it too. I’m trying to driver slower with gas prices and my pick up only gets 17 MPG on average. Still I tend to driver faster than everyone else seems too, as fast as I can with out getting a ticket. Picture this you are driving down the interstate and are over taking group of vehicles. It takes you a while to do so and when you catch up the rear most vehicle pulls out to pass them cutting you off and takes several minutes to SLOWLY pass the vehicles they have been following for many miles until you caught up with them!
The second one is similar, a vehicle rapidly catches up to you so you let them pass but when they get along side of you they slow down so they trap you behind a truck going under the speed limit. I had two convertibles that were obviously traveling together I wanted to run off the road for doing this and then messing with me. One was a Corvette and the other a Mustang. I got tried of playing games with them and passed them again and really pushed getting a ticket, it was either that or shoot both of them..
One thing that really pisses me off are people who speed up so you can’t pass them when it is clear to do so and then slow down when traffic is too heavy to let you pass them. This seems to be a popular sport in New Mexico!
I hate driving in that state, I’ve encountered the worse weather there, the worse drivers, lousy sign age and they always seem to have the roads tore up some where along they way. They spent over a decade tearing up the highway tough Albuquerque. They do stupid stuff like keep changing the speed limit on the interstate from 75 to 65 and back. Generally it goes back up just as you start up a steep hill.. BTW, their highway patrol cars are dark brown.. I checked the New Mexico website for construction on the route and it only showed restrictions in 1 area, but I ran in to several areas where the interstate (I 40) and (I 25) was down to one lane for several miles and the speed limit was 45 MPH. US 285 is in such poor shape that the lines on the road are nearly non-existent. I almost drove off the road on a curve in the dark because there were no lines, the only reason I knew there was a curve was the growth along the side of the road curved. When you cross the Colorado state line the road improves so much it is like you crossed in to a MUCH better country from the third world..
One year I drove though Espanola on Christmas Eve and they were driving around in the dark with their headlights off so they could see the luminaries. I especially hate driving though Espanola, they keep changing the route of the highway though town and their signs suck. There is one part of the trip though town that the sign for 285 north directs you down this road which a couple of blocks later comes to an intersection that T’s and their is no sign that tells you which way to go.
It used to be to get though Sante Fe from I25 to US 285 you had to know to get off on Saint Francis Drive because their were no signs that told you that. Now they have a bypass road (599?) that goes around Sante Fe and I don’t go though there any more, their loss I used to get dinner there.
When I drove though there last winter I saw more creatures on the road than you will see in any zoo because they salt the stupid roads. At Christmas I saw; rabbits, coyotes, a wolf I think, elk, deer and antelope.. They let the forest grow right up to the edge of the road and put reflectors along the edge of it. Which look a lot like the eyes of animals and then they post signs like “Elk Crossing”. If animals cross in that area or any other area the brush and trees should be cleared at least 50 yards on either side of the highway so you can SEE them BEFORE they step out in front your car. This trip during the summer I only saw about 100 rabbits, Jack rabbits and cotton tails, more of the former. I have those things that make ultra sonic noises to scare animals which seem to work because most of them I see are moving away from the road The ones I have two horns each that make different tones.
Yes, I can drive to Colorado without going through New Mexico but then you have to drive a few hundred miles though Indian reservations and there are no places to stop for long distances except when you hit small cities. It is also a hundred miles or so farther that way. I did it a few years ago because a blizzard had closed all the roads in western New Mexico for a week. I ended up going up though Tuba City, across northern Arizona, though 4 corners, Durango, Pagosa Springs and over the famed Wolf Creek Pass (10,850 ft) US-160 which requires chains to cross in the winter and is the long way around. The southern pass into the San Luis Valley over the continental divide is Cumbres and La Manga passes both about 10,200 and it is closed in the winter because they are state route (17) and not a highway so it is not maintained in the winter which would require constant snow plowing. Getting there requires you to go through northern New Mexico through Chama. Between Bloomfield and Chama is about 100 miles of nothing but tall pine trees to see and no signs. US 285 comes in to the San Luis Valley at the southern end of the valley where it is lowest, just west of where the Rio Grande River flows out of the valley on it’s way to the gulf of Mexico. It’s head waters are near Wolf Creek Pass at the other end of the valley. Instead of crossing the continental divide in Colorado where it is a lot higher you cross it in I-40 between Gallop and Grants where it is a lot lower, about 8500 feet compared to over 10,000 feet. The route from Phoenix to Sante Fe is all Interstate I-17 to I-40 to I-25.
Anyway back to what I was talking about in the first place, Stupid Drivers.
Similar to the people who cut you off when you catch up to them are those who speed up, pass you and then slow down slower than you were going when they passed you. What hell is the deal with that?? Do they think you are driving too fast so it is their job to slow you down??
Something I’ve seen mainly here in Phoenix are the stupid people who will pass you no matter how fast you are driving and then slam on the breaks and make a right hand turn in front of you.. Do this to me and I MIGHT follow you home…
Then there are all the illegal aliens who drive around with no insurance, no licenses and haven’t a clue what the rules of the road are in this country. I was making a legal left turn when the idiot at the stop sign on the street I was turning on to pulled out and made a left turn almost right into me and missed the back of my truck by inches only because I sped up. If I could have turned around I would have chased his ass down and kicked it all the way back to Mexico. When they do get in accidents they get out and run away and half the time the cars are stolen. “Their just poor people looking for jobs”, Bull shit! These are the same people who are taking American jobs, stealing our identities, crossed the boarder illegally in the first place, and probably supported criminal organizations to get them across the border in the first place. Then when they are here they continue committing crimes.
I was in the dentist office just down the street a couple of years ago and they were just preparing to drill a cavity when an illegal ran the light, hit a SUV, over turned it, took out the power pole which took out the power and then stopped when he hit a tree. Then he got out and ran away in front of several witness, no one stopped him..
Anyway long and short of it is if your one of the stupid drivers ponder this. There are some of us who would like to kill you but are too nice to do so. But there are others (at least here in Phoenix) who will not hesitate to shoot you for driving like an idiot.
I understand a lot of you are driving slower to save gas but if you are driving 5 miles under the speed limit do it in the right hand lane! You are still required to yield to the right for faster traffic.
You are also required to yield to emergency vehicles. A couple of months ago I had a woman cut around me when I was stopped at a light for an on coming ambulance just as the ambulance cleared, we started to move. She moved a little then slammed on the breaks causing me to bump the rear of her vehicle. I should have kicked her ass for driving like a moron.
If you are a pedestrian traffic is not required to yield to you if you are not in a cross walk and are jay walking. You do not have the right away over a 2000 pound vehicle driving down the road at 40 mph. If you run out in to traffic you deserve to be ran over! Especially if you are doing it in the dark and wearing dark clothes. I think we should quit protecting the stupid people from themselves. I don’t believe in evolution but I think if you are too stupid to live the rest of us have no obligation to save you from yourself. Also If you do not cross at the corner you may not be seen, there is a Circle K at the corner where I turn in to my neighborhood. I don’t know how many people I’ve almost hit because they are crossing the street in the middle of the block where they can not be seen when making the turn at the corner or step out from between parked cars with out looking. I had an idiot cross in front of me one day on the way to work recently. He was wearing head phones and I don’t think he noticed me until I honked at him.. I drive a big F150 super cab, not some little economy car, if you can’t see and hear it coming you are either deaf and blind or have your head up your ass not paying any attention to what is going around you!
Glenn Beck: Iraqi PM Endorses Obama’s Plan?
http://www.glennbeck.com/content/articles/article/198/12674/
Glenn tells how the report that Prime minister Maliki endorsed Obama’s plan to pull out in 16 months was miss reported.
You may have seen this, I’ve had at least three people email it to me. But everyone needs to see it so rather than email it to everyone I know I posted it to my blog so you all can see it.
ANWR = Arctic National Wildlife Refuge.
Now — A comparison
And some perspective?
NOTE WHERE THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT AREA IS?
(it’s in the ANWR Coastal Plain)
THIS IS WHAT THE DEMOCRATS, LIBERALS AND GREENS SHOW YOU WHEN THEY TALK ABOUT ANWR
–and they are right– these ARE photographs of ANWR
ISN’T ANWR BEAUTIFUL?? WHY SHOULD WE DRILL HERE (AND DESTROY) THIS BEAUTIFUL PLACE?
WELL… THAT’S NOT EXACTLY THE TRUTH
Do you remember the map?
The map showed that the proposed drilling area is in the ANWR Coastal Plain
Do those photographs look like a coastal plain to you?
WHAT’S GOING ON HERE?
THE ANSWER IS SIMPLE
THAT IS NOT WHERE THEY ARE WANTING TO DRILL!
THIS IS WHAT THE PROPOSED EXPLORATION AREA ACTUALLY LOOKS LIKE IN THE WINTER
AND THIS IS WHAT IT ACTUALLY LOOKS LIKE IN THE SUMMER
HERE ARE A COUPLE SCREEN SHOTS FROM GOOGLE EARTH
AS YOU CAN SEE, THE AREA WHERE THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT DRILLING IS A BARREN WASTELAND.
OH AND THEY SAY THAT THEY ARE CONCERNED ABOUT THE EFFECT ON THE LOCAL WILDLIFE?
HERE IS A PHOTO (SHOT DURING THE SUMMER) OF THE DEPLETED WILDLIFE? SITUATION CREATED BY DRILLING AROUND PRUDHOE BAY *
DON?T YOU THINK THAT THE CARIBOU REALLY HATE THAT DRILLING?
HERE’S THAT SAME SPOT DURING THE WINTER.
HEY, THIS BEAR SEEMS TO REALLY “HATE”THE PIPELINE NEAR PRUDHOE BAY *?
*The Prudhoe bay area accounts for 17% of? U.S. domestic oil production
NOW, WHY DO YOU THINK THAT THE DEMOCRATS/LIBERALS and ENVIRONMENTAL WHACKOS ARE LYING ABOUT ANWR?
REMEMBER WHEN AL GORE SAID THAT
THE GOVERNMENT SHOULD WORK TO ARTIFICIALLY RAISE GAS PRICES
TO $5.00 A GALLON?
WELL?
AL GORE AND HIS FELLOW DEMOCRATS HAVE ALMOST REACHED THEIR GOAL!
NOW THAT YOU KNOW THAT THE DEMOCRATS HAVE BEEN LYING,
WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO ABOUT IT?
YOU CAN START BY FORWARDING THIS TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW?
SO THAT THEY WILL KNOW THE TRUTH. AND REMEMBER TO VOTE THIS NOVEMBER FOR THOSE WHO WILL GIVE US THE RIGHT TO DRILL FOR OUR OWN OIL AND NO LONGER LIE TO US SO THAT WE HAVE TO SPEND 7 OR 10 DOLLARS A GALLON IN THE FUTURE OR SUFFER A DEFEAT IF A FUTURE ATTACK STOPS US FROM GETTING FOREIGN OIL! HELP AMERICA BECOME INDEPENDENT AGAIN!

Scott,
I’ve just seen Lou Dobbs’ special report on the NAU and NAFTA
super highway, and I’m urging every member of our team to
watch his report that literally blows the lid off suggestions
that this is all “scare tactics” and “myths.”

Scott, we can’t count on most media outlets or elected
officials to tell us the truth about this very real and
growing threat to our nation’s sovereignty and security.
Over the next week, I’d like to add an additional 25,000
citizen petitions to our total–pushing us past the quarter-
million mark!
The NAU and NAFTA Super highway isn’t hype, or myth as many suggest.
This is a carefully coordinated plan being executed under the noses
of unsuspecting American citizens, and it is up to you and I to
start sounding the alarm!
As always, thank you for standing with Grassfire.

The reason you are paying over $4 a gallon for gas and our other energy costs are going through the roof is Congress! It isn’t George Bush’s fault, it is no coincidence that since the liberal Democrats took over both the House and Senate that our gas prices have almost doubled since. Also our economy has been going down because they have been down taking it down since Bush was elected president and they accused him of talking down the economy when he pointed out the problems cause by 8 years of the Clintons and the largest tax increase in history they brought us when he was running for office.
If you think the economy is bad now elect Obama and see what happens.. From what I hear from him “change” is to raise the taxes on everything! If you are barely getting by now wait until he raises taxes on energy, income, social security, medicare and then passes socialized medical care. It will totally collapse our economy. The reason medical care is so expensive is government has mandated hospitals give treatment to everyone who can’t or don’t want to pay for it, including millions of illegals which has about bankrupted the emergency rooms here in Arizona and forced the closing of a couple of them. They mandate what doctors will get for medicare which isn’t enough. This forces doctors and hospitals to pass on these unmet expenses to us in order to stay in business. My 90 year old grand parents just had to be moved out of the long term hospital care because the hospital wasn’t getting enough from medicare to keep the unit open and was loosing millions of dollars a year. There isn’t ONE damn thing the federal government does right or well and you want to put them in charge of your medical care??? Look what they have done with social insecurity and medicare! There isn’t anything the government can give you that they didn’t take away from you or someone else in the first place and the vast majority of people get back far less than is taken from them. There isn’t the constitutional authority to do most of what they are doing in the first place and the things they should be doing like protecting our boarders they are not doing.
The only people who pay taxes are the end consumer of the product or service that is taxed. If you raise the taxes on the “evil oil companies” they have to pass on the increased cost of business to the people who buy their products. If they didn’t they would eventually go out of business. You can not sell products for what they cost to make or less and make a profit that keeps your business operating. If you have a 401K or other retirement or investing plan you own a portion of oil and other business, if the business in your portfolio aren’t making a profit, neither are you on your investments. Anything government does to affect their profits affects YOU! If you think you are under taxed you are an idiot.
Back to energy, this is what I started to write about (I could rant about the problems with our government all day..) This is an excerpt from Glenn Beck’s website that was in his email news letter tonight. Glenn is about the only one on TV (CNN afternoons) that is telling it like it is. I don’t care for his radio show much but you HAVE TO WATCH HIS TV SHOW!! Thank God for PVR’s (hard drive based VCR with out the Video tape, I do have full time 48+ hour job) He is talking to Representative Chris Cannon from Utah’s 3rd congressional district.
=======================================================
http://www.glennbeck.com/content/articles/article/196/11464/
“GLENN: All right. So what is the — your bill takes all of the burden out of congress and puts it on the President’s desk?
CONGRESSMAN CANNON: Well, yeah. He is the executive and what it does is it gives him the ability to cut through seven years and make that seven weeks and so you sit down and you say, what do we need to do to protect the environment and what’s the process we’re going to use. And there are various processes that are very different and they are going to have different constraints. But then you give the President the authority to come to a conclusion and give a permit in a short time and then you monitor, see what’s going on. You may have to adjust that permit over time but at least you get people producing oil.
” ” “..
GLENN: Yet the will in congress is not. I’ve got a guy here who’s been waiting for a while to talk on the air and I’m going to put him on the air. His question is don’t you think that congress is intentionally trying to sabotage our economy for the election. Give me a reason here, Chris, why congress is doing the things that they’re doing. Why are they doing this? This is not in our economic long-term health by any stretch of the imagination to keep us shackled to terror states.
CONGRESSMAN CANNON: Yes, Saudi Arabia funding Al-Qaeda, Iran funding Hezbollah, Hamas. Human events had an article two weeks ago about an Iranian funded terrorist camp in the Venezuela. You know, we’re paying these people to undermine our interests and we’re propping up a —
GLENN: So what is stopping the congress? What is the motivation of congress to not free our hands?
CONGRESSMAN CANNON: Well, if you look at the numbers, they’re fascinating. The bulk of Republicans will vote to drill in ANWR, to drill in the continent she will, to drill in the Midwest to drill for shale. About 90%, in some cases a little more, a little less of Democrats vote against that and with the reps cans who vote against this and the Democrats who vote against this, we’ve not been able to get those things passed. We passed the right — there’s a prohibition against drilling in the Alaskan national wildlife preserve but we have to overcome what’s positive law. We passed that in the House a couple of times and the Senate actually passed it as well but the times we passed it in the House and the Senate didn’t pass it, then we had problems with a potential candidate being the critical vote there. So we have to get — the American people have got to express themselves on this issue and we’re about to put up a website called dollargas.us. I think it’s up yet but we want the American people to be saying we want a dollar, a dollar and a quarter gas. That’s where it ought to be. And if we were producing our own gas, our own oil out of our own resource here in America, one, we would have cheaper gas. And two, we wouldn’t be funding our enemies.
GLENN: Chris Cannon from the great state of Utah. Thank you very much. We’ll look at the bill. What is the bill number?
CONGRESSMAN CANNON: Oh, it’s — I think it’s 6811, but I apologize.”

Here is some thing you can do to encourage congress to quit screwing around and do something about our ever increasing energy costs.
Drill Here. Drill Now. Pay Less.
A Real Change Campaign to Lower Your Gas Prices petition

17¢ Taxes
13¢ Distribution
5¢ Local gas stations

This CONSERVATIVE ALERT is a special message from RightMarch.com:
Congress is Refusing to Consider Bill to Bring Gas Prices Down — Click Below to Tell YOUR Rep. to Co-Sponsor the Affordable Gas Price Act:
http://capwiz.com/sicminc/issues/alert/?alertid=11472501&type=CO
ALERT: Well, gas has finally hit over four dollars a gallon where I live. And it doesn’t look like these rising prices are going to slow down any time soon.
If this keeps up, the American economy will be devastated.
So what does Congress do about this crisis? One group blames OPEC and Venezuela, calling for us to “fight back” against them — which will only lead to retaliation and higher prices. Another group blames the oil companies, calling for a massive “windfall profits” tax hike on them — which will only be passed on to consumers and lead to higher prices. Still other groups blame Americans themselves, and call for extreme restrictive conservation measures to be mandated on “oil-hungry” citizens.
And nothing gets done. And gas prices keep shooting up.
Plus, these big government solutions will, at best, prove ineffective and, at worst, bring back the fuel shortages and gas lines of the seventies.
Over a year ago, legislation was introduced that would not only counter the extreme environmentalism of the liberals, it would also counter the government’s own inflationary monetary policies that have led directly to the crisis we’re facing today.
That’s right. As usual, the government doesn’t have a solution to the problem — the government IS the problem!
House bill H.R. 2415, short-titled the “Affordable Gas Price Act,” was introduced on May 21, 2007. The official title of the bill states its purpose:
“To reduce the price of gasoline by allowing for offshore drilling, eliminating Federal obstacles to constructing refineries and providing incentives for investment in refineries, suspending Federal fuel taxes when gasoline prices reach a benchmark amount, and promoting free trade.”
So for over a year now, Congress has had available to them legislation that reduces gas prices by reforming government polices that artificially inflate the price of gas.
And not one of them has even had the guts to sign on as a co-sponsor.
THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS. It’s time our “representatives” are FORCED to stand up and do the right thing, instead of posturing and posing for the cameras while the rest of us are struggling to decide between eating and putting gas in the tank.
So WE need to do the FORCING!
TAKE ACTION: We don’t need more “big government solutions” — we need common-sense solutions that will bring back sanity to our energy policies. Instead of expanding government, Congress should repeal federal laws and polices that raise the price of gas, either directly through taxes or indirectly though regulations that discourage the development of new fuel sources.
These Congress-critters should also get off of their ideological high horses, and allow Americans to enjoy the benefits of free trade with oil-producing nations that are now restricted by misguided and outdated trade polices, which are also artificially raising the price of gas.
Congress needs to STOP ignoring this bill, which could finally bring gas prices down while also addressing the root causes of government-induced economic crises like this one. Please click below NOW to send a FREE message directly to your Representative, and DEMAND that he or she become a co-sponsor of H.R. 2415, the “Affordable Gas Price Act,” TODAY:
http://capwiz.com/sicminc/issues/alert/?alertid=11472501&type=CO
Sincerely,
William Greene, President
RightMarch.com
P.S.: The likelihood that this common-sense bill will advance beyond the committee stage and be voted on by the House increases in proportion to the number of cosponsors it has! Be sure to send this Alert to EVERYONE you know who wants to DEMAND that members of Congress finally get off of their rear ends and bring gas prices down. Thank you!

A recent email I got from ACT
Visit our News page
Dear Scott,
Over a year ago, a United Kingdom television station dispatched a reporter to go undercover into mosques in the UK.
In a series of blockbuster video reports that have been posted on YouTube, viewers get to see for themselves what Brigitte Gabriel and others have been warning about for years.
In just the first installment, you will see imams proclaiming:
Allah has created the woman deficient & If she doesn’t wear the hijab, we hit her.
You have to live like a state within a state until you take over.
The pinnacle, the crest, the summit of Islam, is jihad.
In that same installment you will see how a large Muslim organization in the UK has a special chat room for communication not meant for non-Muslims to see.
You will see how imams despise non-believers and call for jihad against them.
But what is most relevant for us in America, is that the Saudi Arabian religious establishment that provides the materials and the teaching that is going on inside these British mosques also provides the materials and the teaching for many if not most mosques here in the United States.
So when you click on the link below to view these undercover videos, remind yourself that this is what is happening in mosques right here in America perhaps in your community, and even right down the street from you!
http://uk.youtube.com/results?search_query=dispatches+undercover+mosque
If you aren’t able to see these videos on your computer, find someone who can.
Words alone do not do justice to the reality of the threat we are facing. Please click on the link above, view one or more of the videos, and then forward this email to everyone you know.

Another Email
Dear Scott,
U.S. Representative Sue Myrick, co-founder of the House anti-terrorism caucus, has done America a great service with her call for a 10 point plan to tackle the threat of Islamic terrorism here in America.
Her 10 point plan is listed in the article below. Her press release laying out her plan can be viewed by clicking http://www.house.gov/list/press/nc09_myrick/wakeupamerica41808.html.
In the past we have highlighted concerns raised by many of the items in her plan, such as the FBI s flawed Arabic translator program.
She will certainly get criticism from Muslims and the politically correct crowd. We need to show Rep. Myrick that there are Americans who are 100% behind her and applaud her courage and leadership.
Before Monday, please send an email to Rep. Myrick letting her know we re behind her. Click on this link to send her an email: http://myrick.house.gov/zipauth.shtml
And if you are so inclined, call her Washington, D.C. office, 202/225-1976, and leave a message there letting Rep. Myrick know we re supporting her efforts.
Make sure you identify yourself as an ACT! for America member when you email or call!
Thank you!

Rep. Sue Myrick wants America to “wake up” and stop allowing terrorism to proliferate … The Charlotte Republican on Friday released a list of 10 items she hopes will help peel back the layers on how radical elements of Islam might be infiltrating the military, school rooms and other elements of society. She also wants to stop the government from supporting terrorist organizations through financial investments and military sales. … The co-founder of the House anti-terrorism caucus has spent an increasing amount of time trying to tackle what she views as threats posed at home by extremists, an issue that fuels her commitment to deporting illegal immigrants.

Dear Scott,
Next Tuesday, Ron De Jong and I will be on Capitol Hill presenting
your petition to key members in the House–demanding that our
borders be secured.
I’m thrilled to have the opportunity to represent you, and promise
that when I stand at the podium on Cannon Terrace, surrounded by
boxes of petitions, I will deliver a powerful and poignant message
to leadership that grassroots Americans will prevail in moving the
government to build the double-layered fence as promised.
I believe a strong grassroots presence will also stimulate The
Fence By Date Certain Act–a critical piece of legislation that
seeks to restore the original mandates in the Secure Fence
Act–most notably the promise to build 800 miles of double
layered fencing.
That’s our goal with this delivery–which is why I want to make
certain we do everything in our power to make it our best presentation
to date…
But as usual, I need your help.
Scott, Tuesday afternoon, I want to present at least 250,000
petitions to Rep. Walter Jones (R-NC). Right now we are about 20,000
petitions shy of this quarter-million goal.
With your help I want to make one final push over the weekend
to reach this dazzling goal.
++Action Item–Rally your friends
Forward this message to 25-35 friends and family urging

I would love to represent your friends and family at this upcoming event.
Please impress on them the importance of this issue, and what ultimately
is at stake!
Thank you for taking fast action with me.
