conservatives take credit when things go well, but when things go wrong, they are all about blaming the liberals, the progressives, the socialists, the dreaded communists ( who have never attacked us )......Are you really Bman Mcfly??? That's his shtick. Blame everything on a worldwide conspiracy dating back decades and the solution is magic. LOL!!!
I thought conservatives were supposed to be all about personal responsibility???

I suspect Mr.V is referring to ammunition, cans of beans, and non-hybrid seedsThe time to prepare was 30 years ago, you are a little late. That's why I have become more energy independent over the last 30 years. To bad the more people didn't listen to Carter, eh?I am convinced that chaos is coming. There will be oil shortages, food shortages and possibly worse coming. I will be prepared. When the time comes I will (briefly) wonder what happened to you.
even conservatives blame Bush.....the smart ones, anyway....Yeah, liberals never blame people like ex-President Bush for anything, right?

so you agree that both spend too much......but Obama inherited a mess from Bush....right? what did Bush inherit? and what did he do with it?Have to agree there..........he spent almost as much money in his 8 years as Obama spent in his first 3.

So you cannot show me any instances of resources running out?Are you really Bman Mcfly??? That's his shtick. Blame everything on a worldwide conspiracy dating back decades and the solution is magic. LOL!!!

So you cannot show me any instances of resources running out?
I can discuss one. A few hundred years ago (1600s) London ran out of wood for its glass and cannon manufacture. The wood was replaced by coal. New coal-fired ovens were created and life went on. If you want to read more you can find a good account in chapter 6, Fuel to the Flame, in James Burke's book, "Connections".
Why do you think it is a conspiracy?
And I did not understand your comment about personal responsibility. Would you please explain it to me?
Accepted. You cannot show a single instance of a Club of Rome prediction being accurate. They predicted we would run out of many, not one, not two, but many resources. They were wrong. They always are.Its not about running out to the last drop, its about demand exceeding supply. We passed that point with oil in the US in 1971. If you doubt it, show me a single year since 1971 when we produced more oil than we consumed.
So your opinion is that if man uses up a natural resource faster than it can be exploited, another will always be around to take its place? That's your plan???
I have suggested no conspiracy, unless you believe that all of politics is conspiracy. Hmm. That is not a bad thought over all.You are the one that suggested that both parties have conspired over the last 30 years to keep production below demand, not me.
Yeah, I know, we are still relatively more free to live our lives than other tyrannical regimes. Got it. Understood. The Democrats are trying to "fix" that.The US lags behind other countries in efficiency. In other words, we are more wasteful of the worlds resources.
You really don't get it do you? You can be free or you can be a slave to the state. You are choosing tyranny over freedom. As I ponder tht I think it is actually pretty sad on the one hand and frightening on the other. How did we become a nation of sheep?An excellent example is the resistance by those who deny their responsibility to be better stewards of our resources by the simple act of using a more efficient light bulb, even with the added bonus of cost savings over the life of the bulb in reduced energy cost.
Many so called conservatives seem to forget that conservative is a root form of conservation. For many conservatives today however, personal greed seems a higher priority than personal responsibility to conserve our natural resources.

Only because that is what actually happens in real life.

Right wing pundits and blogs.
What?
Then why are we allowing the price of oil to cripple our economy? Where is your magic replacement???
Great you are free to be fat, lazy and wasteful! The new conservatism! Congratulations!!!!!!!!
so you agree that both spend too much......but Obama inherited a mess from Bush....right? what did Bush inherit? and what did he do with it?
It's very simple........
Bush inherited a minor recession, but the major issue was the worse attack on American soil in our history. The attack crippled the financial and travel industry in the country, not to mention killing almost 3,000 innocent people.
It was immediately followed by the necessary attack on Afghanistan to root out the Taliban.
Then we had the worst natural disaster in modern American history, Hurricane Katrina. This cost hundreds of millions of dollars more.
Bush spent a lot of money foolishly, just like every president though.
I won't quibble with that, but you somehow forgot to mention that Bush also inherited a nearly balanced budget. 911 was both a blessing and a curse for Bush. It did stunt the economy, but it also rallied the American people behind their President, sending his previously low approval ratings into the stratosphere. That, together with a Republican-controlled Congress, gave him a huge mandate to do whatever he wanted to do. And the result was an epic fail.
Well thank GOD that 3000 people died to give Bush a mandate....This is absolutely pathetic.

Since the need for a 'Pearl Harbor type event' was cited by a think tank featuring signatories such as Dick Cheney, Don Rumsfeld, Paul Wolfowitz, and Scooter Libby -- over a year before 9/11 -- as necessary to convince the public that our military should be used to dominate the world, you might want to thank them instead.Well thank GOD that 3000 people died to give Bush a mandate....This is absolutely pathetic.
