A Cry in the Darkness

As we slide further into the Conservative Abyss, a few of us who remember the New Deal and what having a real Middle Class have something to say to add fuel to the teabag fire.

Drill Baby Drill/Burn Baby Burn

The noise from the radical right anti-environmentalists is deafening. Sara Palin, who recently was depicted as "How can any person be so stupid?"; has not uttered a word concerning the Gulf of Mexico disaster.

I just hope the American people can take half a minute and decipher the ridiculous situation we have got ourselves into.

To wit: We are striving for oil independence by drilling from oil platforms a mile from the ocean's bottom using tubes with "fail safe" systems that have been untried and in many cases have been neglected to maximize profits.

These profits remember are in an industry that recorded record profits in a recession. But, the de-regulation mania of the Bush years, has left Halitburton in charge! That's right, our former Vice President's company was who was working on the oil platform that blew up.

This all comes from the same idiots who gave us Iraq and the depression/recession of 2008.

And still they grind on.

And still the American People lap it up.

Oh, meanwhile Nashville, Tennessee is mostly underwater from a "freak" rainstorm that doubled the record for all-time rainfall in a period. Dozens of homes were flooded, in areas that were so secure (it never rained that hard, ever) that no flood insurance was bought.

Extraordinary rainfall amounts are one strong indication of a warming climate!

Of course, this is another area where the "cons" have used a dis-information campaign, aided by the petro-chemical industry, claiming that global warming is a "liberal" plot to destroy the economy. Just try going to Red Lobster in the next few months. The oil based shrimp is delightful!

For God's sake America, connect the dots. Drill Baby Burn, is now Burn Baby Burn, as eleven people were killed, along with quite possibly the entire ecosystem of the Gulf of Mexico.

Of course, this will directly ruin the same folks who endured the legendary stupidity and criminal neglect of the Bush Administration surrounding Hurricane Katrina. The same people!

This includes Mississippi, whose racist governor now, incredibly, is begging for government aid with the spill. This flies in the face of his refusing "big government help" and criticizing the President at every turn. This same governor defended the governor of Virginia who had the gall to renew celebrating the treasonous Civil War South and conveniently left out slavery as a cause of the Civil War. The governor of Mississippi then chimed in with a inane comment that the slavery "issue" was not important.

Not important? Oh my God! It is amazing how the "cons" constantly try to rewrite history. Not important!?

Now, of course, they would love to rewrite history as it happens by making the Gulf of Mexico go away. Boss Limbaugh tried, actually claiming sabotage! This guy must be back on the pain pills!

These guys will stop at nothing to fool us! Stop being fooled!

So, if you like Katrina you will love BP and the spill from hell. If you love "climate change exaggeration" then you will love Nashville underwater.

And if you like Palin's pathetic "Drill Baby Drill" then Burn Baby Burn is right around the corner!
