Jesus is just good advice. You can praise his name till the earth merges with the sun but it is meaningless if you don't heed his advice.

Oh yes, they do know their taxes are lower, if they filed a tax report. They would protest at the White House with their assault rifles if he had raised taxes. President Obama is offering white americans an insight as to their twisted behavior. Black and Brown people all over the world are watching the tragedy. American Companies pollute as part of their business here and abroad. They scurry back to the states when they pollute abroad killing tens of thousands and leaving dead earth and water. There are only monetary consequences when it's done in America. British Petroleum, in partnership with other companies, is operating as if there was a coal mine disaster / a fiery airliner crash killing all on board. Bobby Jindal doesn't make the rules. Was this oil platform closer to Louisiana than Russia to Alaska? Only white americans and broken, as in horse, negroes would believe the oil spill is the president's Katrina. The president shows great resolve to allow the Tea Party Hate Groups, Racist Radio Talk Show Hosts / Governors to insult him before the world, and etc., to enter his political rallies / to come to Washington to protest with rifles, handguns and spare ammunition. Hanging the president in effigy, threatening government officials with murder, spitting and screaming nigger, nigger, nigger; and with white musicians and corporate executives threatening to murder the president. The few brave Blacks and Whites in America walked in peaceful marches to show America its inhumanity to man. They were mangled and murdered without consequence. How is it white americans can label a man as a nigger, gook, spick, kite, jap; and lose sight of the man in order to kill? It is so amazing that white americans can be so twisted as to believe everyone is deceived by their blame game. Apparently there are no consequences for the poor behavior of white americans only in the U.S.A.

On Monday's show, Thom asked if the Gulf oil disaster is Obama's Katrina. I say yes because even as the oil washes ashore, Obama is pushing for more offshore drilling, along with John Kerry, John McCain, and many mainstream "eco" groups.

I am an environmentalist, not a right-winger. Part of the reason I put thousands of hours into Obama's campaign is because I didn't want McCain's nuclear energy plan or Palin's oil drilling expansion. However, this is exactly what what we are being given, under the guise of "job creation." To use the Katrina analogy, it's as if, in the middle of the flooding of New Orleans; George Bush had proposed a national program of dike weakening and levee destruction.

We environmentalists have to start saying, "We told you so." Back when the oil companies first wanted offshore oil, we said that accidents and oil spills would be inevitable. We have just been proven right in the most horrible way imaginable. Now listen closely; a nuclear power plant melt down is also inevitable if we continue to use nukes. Our nuke plants are breaking down, leaking tritium, developing holes in their reactor chambers, and becoming so radioactive that people can't even enter the buildings anymore. Nukes are a technological dead end and they are unnecessary.

The November, 2009 issue of Scientific American lays out a plan for us to be carbon and nuke FREE by 2040. The group THE CLEAN also just published a study done by an organization called Synapse that has similar results. These plans must be the blueprint for our new energy policy--not nukes, oil, and coal.

This bill must be stopped. It gives billions to new offshore oil, UNLIMITED billions to nuclear power(really! trillions and trillions!), billions to coal, billions to the unproven and probably impractical technology of carbon sequestration, and forces wind, solar, and other alternative energy to compete against each other for less than half the money. Most of it goes to the old, dirty technologies. Call the White House and call your Senators today.

I know of no more brazen example of corporate control of our government than this bill which would create thousands of new offshore oil wells being introduced and probably being passed in the middle of the worst oil spill in history. The obvious, sensible, human reaction to this disaster is to ban new wells. If people still controlled our government, this is what would be being debated right now. Instead, corporations control our government and they want oil wells. Obama, of course, is doing their bidding by being their front man every day insisting that new offshore drilling has to be part of our energy plan, when that simply is a lie.

So, yes, this is his Katrina. I just hope that some Democrat who actually cares about the environment realizes this and challenges him in the 2012 primary, or we will be faced with a radioactive, greenhouse gas filled, coal mine littered future, thanks to Obama.
