…one small unnoticeable piece at a time.

They’ve sickened and killed our pets, they’ve poisoned our children with lead based paints, they’ve illegally subsidized corporations to lower cost and undercut American manufacturers while devastating our economy. And now we are watching them drill for oil in the Gulf of Mexico.

As congress hesitates to allow the U.S. to drill in its own coastal waters in the Gulf, the Chinese are taking advantage.

And people, they don’t care about consequences and they aren’t even equipped to handle an ecological disaster should there be a spill.

Reports have been made of the Chinese using tactics of slant drilling off the Cuban coast into the Florida Straits. They are tapping into U.S. oil reserves estimated between 5 to 10 billion barrels. This is like digging into the vault of a bank from a neighboring backyard.

This oil stash compares to the 4 to 10 billion barrels in An-war where tree huggers, more specifically caribou lovers, are holding a proverbial gun to congress’ head. Experts say drilling in An-war would not harm or endanger the caribou. Permission to drill failed by only two senatorial votes.

In Michael Reagan’s article titled, Put The Blame Where It Belongs he says,

We’re in the mess in which we find ourselves because of a small handful of people… three individuals two who are located in New York City. If you want to drill in Alaska or the Gulf of Mexico or in the continental U.S. — where billions of gallons of petroleum are just waiting to be tapped — or build refineries, these three people stand in your way; John Flicker of the National Audubon Society, Frances Beinecke of the Natural Resources Defense Council, and Trip Van Noppen of the organization Earthjustice.

Reports have also stated that there is more oil in Alaska than there is in Saudi Arabia. But the caribou are endangered. This is wacky, people. We’ll slaughter millions of unborn babies because of convenience but won’t dare inconvenience the caribou to save our nations oil dependencies.

We need to wake up; stopping hitting the snooze button. And by all means, quit worrying about the latest “buzz” in Hollywood, or the hottest fashion trend. And being politically correct is disabling our abilities to discern right from wrong.

Bottom line: Buy American on every level. We’re supporting foreign government subsidized companies that don’t give a damn about the war on terror. Don’t buy another piece of Chinese made junk with their name on it. Send a message to these corporate greed-driven CEO’s.

Read Michael Reagan’s full article for contact information to those three knuckleheads and let them know how you feel. Keep on eye on what your congress representatives are voting on by going to http://www.govtrack.us/.

And support your local farmers markets. We’re paying higher produce prices because a lot of what you put in your belly comes from Mexico. This puts a strain on demand for fuel, driving costs even higher.

And pray for our authorities. You may not like them but they are there and part of a bigger picture we cannot see. Romans 13:1 says, Everyone must submit himself to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God.
