Finally some common sense. Congressman Robin Hayes is submitting legislation to increase oil and gas exploration and refineries in the US.
A significant problem we are facing this year is that our nation’s ability to refine oil into gasoline has been hurt by a number of outages. Some estimates indicate that our refining capacity is eight times worse than last year. The fact is, we haven’t built a new refinery in this country since the 1970s; however, we have lost several during that time. I have supported legislation that would expand the number of domestic refineries and actually construct a refinery for specifically for our military, HR 3893. Acute problems with our refining ability combined with a rapidly growing global demand for oil is only going to continue (not to mention the fact that 60% of the oil we consume comes from foreign sources). To properly address this problem, we need to take action on three fronts: more conservation and efficiency – more domestic exploration and production of oil and natural gas – and the development of more alternative fuels like ethanol and bio-diesel. As a member of the House Agriculture Committee, I am excited to say that we are going to include a significant energy component in the Farm Bill to help us develop these new alternative fuels, fuels can be grown right here at home – lessening our dependence on the Middle East and creating a new market for our farmers.

I’m very concerned about Obama who is all about “Change We Can Believe In.” He was an only child. Do I care, not really except that it seems to have left him open to the most radical Marxist mentors.
From Cone’s book, A Black Theology of Liberation:
..changing the political, economic, and social structures so that distinctions between rich and poor, oppressed and oppressors, are no longer a reality. To be reconciled with white people means destroying their oppressive power, reducing them to the human level and thereby putting them on equal footing with other humans. There can be no reconciliation with master as long as they are masters, as long as men are in prison.
The above statement is obviously Communistic and Marxist in nature. The fact that Reverend Wright has modeled his church after Cohen’s divisive Marxist black power movement is scary.
Another Obama mentor that is also a Marxist:
Barack Obama’s childhood mentor, Frank Marshall Davis, a member of the Moscow-controlled Communist Party USA, wrote a poem dedicated to the Soviet Red Army. “Smash on, victory-eating Red Army,” he declared. He also wrote poems attacking traditional Christianity and the work of Christian missionaries.
The “Red Army” poem goes beyond hoping for the communists to beat the Nazis in World War II and hails the Soviet revolution. It says:
“Show the marveling multitudes
Americans, British, all your allied brothers
How strong you are
How great you are
How your young tree of new unity
Planted twenty-five years ago
Bears today the golden fruit of victory!”
(from AIM)
Secret History
In remarks at a reception of the Communist Party USA (CPUSA) archives at the Tamiment Library at New York University, Horne, a contributing editor of the Communist Party journal Political Affairs, asserted that Davis had come into contact with Obama’s family in Hawaii and became the young man’s mentor, influencing his sense of identity and career path.
Obama writes in Dreams From My Father that he saw “Frank” only a few days before he left Hawaii for college. He said that Davis called college an “advanced degree in compromise,” warned Obama not to forget his “people,” and not to “start believing what they tell you about equal opportunity and the American way and all that ####.”
The record shows that Obama was in Hawaii from 1971-1979, where he developed his close relationship, almost like a son, with Davis, and listened to his “poetry” and views.

All of the sudden Reverend Wright is big news. He didn’t say anything different at the press conference than he’s said for the last 20 years. No surprises here.

From Joan Walsh at Salon.com:
But “God damn America” - that’s sweeping. It sounds like it’s the idea of America, its fundamental principles, that he’s rejecting.
But the whole idea that Wright has been attacked over “soundbites,” and if Americans saw his entire sermons, in context, they’d feel differently, now seems ludicrous. The long clips Moyers played only confirm what was broadcast in the snippets (and the longer excerpts out today are even more troubling).
The long excerpt from Wright’s Sept. 16, 2001 sermon was maybe the most disturbing. He compared al-Qaida and Osama bin Laden to African slaves who led slave rebellions in the U.S. He linked the 9/11 hijackers with every decent kind of global freedom-fighter. He linked the killing of American civilians on 9/11 to Americans killing civilians from the Indians to Hiroshima to Bill Clinton’s bombing of Sudan to retaliate against al-Qaida in 1998. I deplore all of those civilian killings as well, but 9/11 was indefensible.
