I owe this to syndicated columnist Mark Steyn, who exposed the hypocrisy of Members of Congress, mainly the Demofiends, in their ridiculously aimed and ridiculously worded piece of legislation going by the acronym of NOPEC.

Basically, NOPEC (The No Oil-Producing and -Exporting Cartels Act) allows Congress, or whomever it empowers, to sue Saudi Arabia and other OPEC (Organization of Petroleum-Exporting Countries) for limiting petroleum production and thus raising gass prices.  (Actually, neither Congress nor OPEC knows that you need hypens in there, but I added them.)

Now, one has to ask oneself, "Who limits the production and extraction of oil more than the U.S. Congress?"  So now the Demofiends, and their scared Republican lackeys, want to drag a bunch of oil-rich sheiks into court and lash out at them?  Good luck.  Gas would be $7 a gallon before the ink was dry on the lawsuit.  It might be anyway with the Demofiend hypocrits, who never met a snail darter, nor a vote, that they didn’t like, in power.  

Let’s face it: saying you’re going to protect the environment while lowering the price of gasoline (again, good luck) gets more votes than saying we need to exploit the natural resources we have.

It’s always tragic when the pursuit of (Demofiend) power outstrips common sense.  To paraphrase Al Davis, "Just drill, baby."
