Democrats want to "nationalize" the oil companies...
« on: June 21, 2008, 11:32:05 AM »
    Maxine Waters and onther Democrats are calling to "nationalize" the oil companies. That is, they
  want to seize all the company's assetts and simply claim them without renumeration.
 
   Why not ?  They are just taking their clues from their old buddies;
  Joe Stalin, Mussolini, Mao. Castro and more recently..Hugo Chavez..

great idea they have done such a wonderful job with everyting else they were trusted with. Just ask the B.I.A. were is all the money for the indians, Oh by the way were is the social security trust fund? How come you don't have to provide the free medical care to the retired military that they were promised? Do you really want hundred dollar a gallon gas? it would go well with 300 dollar hammers.

  If you like the postal service, the way elections are run, the parks service, the Katrina fiasco, and think "the war on poverty" was a smashing success..

Hhmmmm, maybe the Dumbycrats are smarter than I give them credit for.  Maybe I've been wrong that the Dems in the name of environmentalism have prevented oil exploration where it really exists, prevented new refineries and in general done everything possible to get the price of gas to be more like what it is in Europe, did it because they are just stupid.  Now, what if they calculated that if the price does reach a certain point, the people will be more than happy to go along with a take over, of "Big Oil", and then maybe "Big Power", and then maybe "Big....

I don't know how Carl Marx thought was the best way to implement his BS, but the Dumbycrats have really worked it out.  And they've been sharp enough to have some aces in the hole--otherwise known as RHINOs.

Just another step toward socialism. 

It's just another version of the "40 acres and a mule" mantra of the dirty carpet baggers after the Civil War.  "We'uns is gonna take that money away from them rich folks that's workin' and totin' the load and give it to you, you shiftless trash. Just vote for me, hear."

Please notice, I do not feel strongly about this. :(

It did not work in Russia, it did not work in East Germany, It did not work in China, what makes them think it will work here?

A 'Veteran' -- whether active duty, discharged, retired, or reserve -- is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to 'The United States of America,' for an amount of 'up to, and including his life.' That is honor, and there are way too many people in this country today who no longer understand that fact.

Ain't it great when the communists make a gaff in front of a camera, how the main news media just ignors it and a week later it's all forgotten.  If that isn't enough evidence that the mainstream media is at least tacitly in support of socialism, then I don't know what to say.  What they don't report, speaks louder than anything.

This is very amusing and reassuring to me. Look at every one that has committed on this,
mostly disagree on every thing. Seems we all together on this one, push the right button and we all get together THE AMERICAN WAY

While we're venting along those lines, did you notice how the media is falling all over itself to reinvent a kinder, gentle michelle obama? She was on some all female forum but they just chit-chatted about girlie stuff.

  Some folks would "sell their soul"..for the right price.    ..."A mess of pottage" ..perhaps ?
   
  Yes; gasoline is cheap in Venezuela..and freedom is becoming non-existant ! Strange..that some don't see the tradeoff..

  ..But then; some here don't see the tradeoff the Democrats are offering !
