WHO PROVES TOM FRIEDMAN IS AN IDIOT?
TOM FRIEDMAN DOES. HERE:
After 9/11, Mr. Bush had the chance to summon the country to a great nation-building project focused on breaking our addiction to oil.THAT IS EITHER AWESOMELY DUMB OR A FLAGRANT LIE.
Instead, he told us to go shopping. After gasoline prices hit $4.11 last week, he had the chance to summon the country to a great nation-building project focused on clean energy. Instead, he told us to go drilling.
Neither shopping nor drilling is the solution to our problems.
HERE'S THE PLAIN TRUTH:
- BUSH PROPOSED SWEEPING CHANGES TO OUR NATIONS ENERGY POLICY IN 2001.
- IN MAY ------- BEFORE 9/11!
- AND ALL THE LEFT DID ABOUT IT WAS ACCUSE HIM OF BEING IN THE POCKETS OF THE ENERGY INDUSTRY,
- SUBPOENA CHENEY - TAKING IT TO THE SUPREME COURT, TO TRY TO GET MINUTES OF HIS PRIVATE DISCUSSIONS WITH THE ONLY TRUE ENERGY EXPERTS: THE FOLKS IN THE ENERGY INDUSTRY;
- AND THEN... THEY VOTED IT DOWN IN 2003.
WE POSTED ABOUT IT AGAIN - A WEEK LATER - IN THIS ARTICLE WE ATTACKED THE NYTIMES FOR NOT MENTIONING THE BUSH ENERGY PLAN IN A 4000 WORD ARTICLE ON THE CURRETN CRISIS.
- TOM FRIEDMAN - AND HIS COMRADES AT THE NYTIMES - HAVE CONVENIENTLY FORGOTTEN THIS EPISODE.
- JUST AS HE - AND THE REST OF THE LEFT - SEEM TO HAVE FORGOTTEN THE LAW OF SUPPLY AND DEMAND.
- THEY HAVE AIRBRUSHED THE BUSH ENERGY PLAN OUT OF THEIR HISTORY BOOKS - THE WAY THEIR HERO STALIN USED TO WITH FORMER COMRADES!
- OF COURSE, FRIEDMAN HASN'T REALLY FORGOTTEN THE LAW OF SUPPLY AND DEMAND. LEFTIES LIKE HIM OFTEN PULL IT OUT WHEN IT'S CONVENIENT, LIKE WHEN THEY HARANGUE US ABOUT "PEAK OIL".
- ER UM... TOMMY BABY: "PEAK OIL: IS BASED ON IRREVERSIBLY DECLINING OIL SUPPLIES.
- SO WHEN BUSH PROPOSES WE INCREASE SUPPLIES HE'S DOING THE SANE THING.
- WE KNOW WHERE THE OIL IS.
- ALL WE HAVE TO DO IS LET THE ENERGY COMPANIES DRILL FOR IT - AT THEIR EXPENSE.
- THE THING IS TOMMY, BABY... "PEAK OIL" IS BS - JUST LIKE AGW - THERE IS PLENTY OF OIL IN THE WORLD - THEY JUST DISCOVERED BILLIONS OF BARRELS MORE OFF THE COAST OF SOUTH AMERICA.
- AND WE GOT BILLIONS MORE HERE AT HOME - OFF OF OUR COASTS AND IN ALASKA.
YOU'D RATHER BLAME BUSH AND PAY HIGH PRICES.
IDIOT.
I'M GONNA MAKE THIS SO SIMPLE EVEN A LEFT-WING IDIOT LIKE TOM FRIEDMAN CAN GET IT:
- BUSH PROPOSED EXPANDING ENERGY PRODUCTION AND OIL EXPLORATION BEFORE 9/11.
- HE PROPOSED INCREASING SUPPLIES, AND THIS IS WHAT REDUCES PRICES.
- SO THE ENTIRE PREMISE OF TOM FRIEDMAN'S COLUMN IS FALSE.
