Crazy As a Loon
Moonbats have chosen the emblematic loon as an excuse to weaken the US economy and increase our dependence on enemies for our energy supply by preventing drilling in Alaska's National Petroleum Reserve.
A petition seeking Endangered Species Act protection for yellow-billed loons has been accepted by the irresponsible bureauweenies at the US Fish and Wildlife Service. Since some obscure bird takes priority over the interests of human beings in our insane system, all the ecokooks have to prove is that drilling might decrease the loons' numbers, and up go oil prices (and Middle Eastern terrorist revenues) — even though only a minority of the birds breed in Alaska.
The National Petroleum Reserve that would be sacrificed to the yellow-billed loon was set up by President Warren Harding in 1923, back when the essential needs of humans came before the convenience of loons and caribou.
According to Brendan Cummings of the Center for Biological Diversity, yellow-billed loons are also threatened by global warming, so look for enterprising moonbats to sue automakers on its behalf.
At least when liberals finally succeed at destroying America, whoever ends up with Alaska (probably the communist Chinese) will allow themselves to get the oil out so people can use it.

The total area of the Petroleum Reserve is approximately the size of Texas. The maximum total area affected by oil production would be about equal to Lubbock County.
That leaves a WHOLE lot of room for the loons.
Liberals are crazy bastards, aren't they? Loons are much more intelligent than your average democrat.

Some folks will propagate the fossil fuel industry at ANY expense.

"Some folks will propagate the fossil fuel industry at ANY expense."
To what 'expense' are you referring, Richard?

But how will we KNOW that drilling for oil endagers animals if we DON'T drill and see how it effects them?

I love loons. I detest left-wing creeps.

How fitting that the econuts would choose the loon to protect.

I certainly don't mind researching alternatives to fossil fuels. But until we have it, our society is DEPENDENT on oil.
Don't the libs realize that if our oil supply were suddenly cut off, it wouldn't simply be fat-cat oil execs who suffer, it wouldn't simply be cigar-smoking-suv-driving-republicans who suffer, it will be everyone.
Every poor hand-to-mouth democrat will suffer as well, trucks unable to deliver food and supplies to stores, or if they do the cost would be so much higher that only the rich could afford it, no energy to run hospitals, and on and on...
But by all means, let's stick it to the Republicans by NOT tapping into what oil we DO have... we'll all suffer but that'll show 'em.
