Without Cheap Energy – The Economy and Your Life - As You Know It is Over. Thank a Liberal.

This guy let it fly on Rush Limbaugh today. Been there – done that. Sometimes you just want to find a liberal and beat the insanity out of them. But instead, you vent. Rush answers why these liberals are pathetic people.

Caller: “I have been in business delivering food to Delaware for 30 years. I have done it economically, spectacularly, winning awards and accolades. My credentials are impeccable. But I can no longer deliver food to the table at the price I am bringing it because of Delmarva Power and Light. It is not really their fault. It is our governor. It’s Joe Biden. My gas bill for my restaurant four years ago was $5,500 a month. It was $11,800 this month Rush! What can I do Rush? I have to raise my prices.

These people are out of their minds, Rush. We don’t need free health care. That is not the problem in this country. We are being crippled with energy. We can’t bring oil out of ANWAR. We can’t drill off of your estate at Palm Beach. No one wants to look at a derrick.

There is something crazy taking place. The price of my kilowatt is a dime, because they want to put the CO2 into a cave and save it. They can deliver it at three cents. American Electric Power has been in business for a hundred years. They know what to do.

Governors are telling them what to do, how to build a plant, not to use coal, demonizing oil. A woman named Jane Fonda sits on a canon and stops an entire world from delivering nuclear power – with this movie she made.

How does this happen Rush? How does this happen? How do intelligent Americans can allow themselves to have 103 nuclear power plants in this country – and not build another one since 1975? When there is no green house gas bullshit from nuclear energy?

Why can’t we build nuclear? We could create 40,000 jobs by bringing oil in from ANWAR. We bring it in by a pipeline, not with a tanker – no spill. What is going on?

Twenty-nine states with twenty-nine states different grades of gasoline? We are paying over $3 a gallon for regular. I am not talking about me or about you. I am talking about working America. They think they need free healthcare? They need $2 a gallon gas and this country’s economy will explode.

They are heating their homes. Do you think there is a sub-prime crisis Rush? Yes. But that is not the problem. They bought the house thinking their heat bill would be $250. Now it’s $390. They have to spend an extra $50 at the pump each week. So they stop coming out to my restaurant. They stop buying clothes they don’t really need, they stop buying vacations.

Rush, there is a domino effect taking place – and the problem is energy. We bring down the price of plasma television sets. I bought one of the first ones – I paid $10000. Now that same TV is $1100. We bring down the price of phones. We bring down the price of computers. Why do we bring up the price of energy?

Why do we allow the Sierra Club to run this country? These people are walking thru the country and telling us to ride a bicycle? I need Larry David to drive around for four years in Curb Your Enthusiasm with Prius. What is going on Rush? We are out of our minds.

Young people trying to start families in starter homes are getting energy bills that are wrecking their budgets. Nothing is more important than energy. Energy is what makes this world tick. We are kowtowing to dictators to ask them if we can dig here – dig there?

Why not drill in Alaska. Oh no. You might kill a caribou. This is nuts! This doesn’t make any sense. How do we allow these idiots to get on television and talk about foreign oil? We need to get politicians and government out of the energy business!

I knew in 1980 we were not going to drill another oil well in this country. I bought Esso stock back before they became Exxon. They are a great company Rush, with great dividends, so I get my gas basically for free. Rush, they have twenty-seven energy projects going on in this world today. Zero in North America.

Why, why is this allowed? How do we stay captured by a moron who wants to save an owl, a bird, a fish, a dog, a snake, a rat? What about my grandchildren? What is going on, Rush?”

Rush: “These people are willing useful idiots, who want meaning in their lives –they want to matter. They want to think that what they are doing is helping somebody or something. The answer is guilt. People are running around with the guilt of prosperity or the guilt of whatever.”

The left has successfully got the environmental movement into a religious movement. We have to challenge these people and make them tell the American people what their real objective is – and that is to make everyone impoverished and needing government. – Hank Dagny
