The Shining City Upon a Hill

Re: The Shining City Upon a Hill

The most dishonest thing you do is to say the word "liberals" as if it includes everyone who disagrees with you. Just because some talking head on TV says something doesn't make it true. Who cares what Maher says? He's funny sometimes, sure, but he sure doesn't speak for me.

You're a Canadian. You're lucky that I even engage you in these debates that don't concern you. I take pity on you because I know Canada is a cold and boring place and you need to come where the real power is at. I'm talking about the United States of America. Bow down, son.

Re: The Shining City Upon a Hill

Maher is right that those are the choices that liberals try to force us to make. And he was talking about little kids being taught this crap in school. He said liberals were lying and playing word games with CRT.

Yes, a liberal Republican, Senator. What happened to them? They got run out of your party. What did liberals do that was so offensive to the liberal party? I'll tell you what they did. Liberals got women the right to vote. Liberals got African-Americans the right to vote. Liberals created Social Security and lifted millions of elderly people out of poverty. Liberals ended segregation. Liberals passed the Civil Rights Act, the Voting Rights Act. Liberals created Medicare. Liberals passed the Clean Air Act, the Clean Water Act. What did Conservatives do? They opposed them on every one of those things every one. So when you try to hurl that label at my feet, 'Liberal,' as if it were something to be ashamed of, something dirty, something to run away from, it won't work, Senator, because I will pick up that label and I will wear it as a badge of honor.

Re: The Shining City Upon a Hill

Here's the difference between you and I.

You believe every word that comes out of a liberals mouth. I believe in reality. When's the last time that Biden made a promise that went according to plan?

Remember when he promised that the Afghanistan withdrawal wouldn't be like Vietnam? Then we watched the horror that ensued.

Remember when Biden promised to get covid under control. Another promise broken

Remember when he promised that inflation would only hit a few areas of the economy and be temporary?


We'll stop there but you're a fool if you believe this will go as Joe says it will. A goddamn fool.

President Biden promised and delivered on the American Rescue plan and his Infrastructure plan.

The withdrawal from Afghanistan went as well as it could with minimal loss of life.

Did the ex President get the pandemic under control?

The pandemic will go on for years.

Neither inflation nor the pandemic is just about the USA.

Anything else you want to complain about?

... I do not consider myself lucky.

President Biden is slowly rebuilding America's greatness and reptation around the world after the last four damaging years of the ex President.

I'm not worried about what Canada or any other country thinks about America. You need us a hell of a lot more than we need you. Y'all should be sucking our nuts.

Answer the question. Who needs whom more? Does Canada need us more or vice-versa? Can you muster up the courage to tell the truth just one time? Go.

Such unwarranted arrogance. It's absolutely hilarious.

Remember when liberals pushed for bail reform?

Around 11:30 am ET I heard MSNBC host leading a discussion about bail reform going too far, causing uptick in violent crime nationally and contributing to Darrell Brooks-Waukesha.

It's like we're living in a Batman movie and Joe Biden is The Joker who let all the criminals out of prison.


Did anyone see the rap sheet on Darrell Brooks?....the guy who drove a car into a crowd of people?

You really need to study your history better. Until JFK was elected, BTW JFK was by today's standards was a Conservative, the Liberal Democrats were totally opposed to the Civil Right Act. As a Senator Linden Johnson would calibrate his pronunciations by region, using "nigra" with some southern legislators and "negra" with others. Discussing civil rights legislation with men like Mississippi Democrat James Eastland, who committed most of his life to defending white supremacy, he'd simply call it "the nigger bill."

And speaking of Johnson, it was legislation requested by LBJ that combined the Social Security Trust Fund with the General Fund allowing the liberal Democrats to use Social Security moneys to pay for expensive welfare legislation.

Since you don't apparently don't want to call you a liberal then how about one of the more accurate labels,Communist and NAZI.

OH By the way I hope you enjoy it next year when Queen Nan Nan moves into the mansion she just purchased in Florida.

Re: The Shining City Upon a Hill

In a report today from the US Energy Information Administration, the USA is pumping approx 11M barrels of oil a day, down from its pre-pandemic high of 12M barrels per day.

There are 250 fewer oil rigs in action than there was pre-pandemic and there are approx 150,000 fewer oil workers in the fields.

US oil companies hold 23 million acres of public lands both onshore & offshore to drill for oil.

US oil industries are reporting tremendous profits on an above the average spread between production costs and wholesale prices. The profits are above pre-pandemic levels. The oil companies are using these excess profits to take advantage of shareholder buybacks.

President Biden has set a long term strategy for the USA to go green and produce clean energy from renewable energy sources. This has the dual benefit of creating 1,000s of new jobs while reducing America's dependence on other countries to supply oil.

The Biden Administration is encouraging domestic oil companies to increase their production to pre-pandemic levels in the short term until more green energy alternatives come online.

Benchmark West Texas Intermediate oil futures have dropped from their peak on Nov 09 of $84.15 barrel to today's close of $78.57, a drop of 11%.

In the nations largest ever release of oil from the Strategic Petroleum reserve it is hoped over the next few weeks and into early 2022 that the national average price for a gallon of gasoline will drop to under $3.00 per gallon.

The Biden Administration will be monitoring the oil companies closely to make sure that they do not take advantage of these new oil reserves and inflate their profits even more at the expense of consumers during the holiday season.

The world oil markets are in a very unusual situation where a once in a lifetime global pandemic is causing a large mismatch between supply & demand.
