Congresswoman threatens to nationalize oil industry
It would seem that the Dims end game plan was purposely accidentally revealed by Socialist Democrat Maxine Waters (D-CA) last Thursday, May 22, 2008 in a grilling of oil executives by a House panel. She brazenly and openly threatened to nationalize the oil industry if it didn't do something about the rising prices at the pump.
A report by Fox News, captured in a clip posted on YouTube.com, showed Waters challenging the president of Shell Oil, John Hofmeister, to guarantee the prices consumers pay will go down if the oil companies are allowed to drill wherever they want off of U.S. shores.
Hofmeister replied: "I can guarantee to the American people, because of the inaction of the United States Congress, ever-increasing prices unless the demand comes down."
The Shell exec said paying $5 at the pump "will look like a very low price in the years to come if we are prohibited from finding new reserves, new opportunities to increase supplies."
And with that the Socialist Democrat Comrade Waters snapped back with
And guess what this liberal would be all about. This liberal will be about socializing … uh, um. …"
Waters paused to collect her thoughts as if seeming to realize she had screwed up big time but decided to plunder ahead anyway since she had already crossed the line.
Would be about, basically, taking over, and the government running all of your companies. …"
The oil executives responded, according to Fox News, by saying they've seen this before, in Hugo Chavez's Venezuela.
Federal prosecutor: Being an 'illegal' not a crime
Seems that a federal prosecutor in the District of New Jersey, U.S. Attorney Christopher Christie has determined that being on U.S. soil without an invite or without permission of the federal government is not a crime but more of a nuisance. Geez, where do we get these morins from?! Yeah I know, that's a rather rhetorical question. I suppose we should thank our compassionate conservative (barf) President for that. Read on --
Christie: Immigrants are not criminals Immigrants and their advocates today found an unlikely ally: the top law enforcement officer in New Jersey. U.S. Attorney Christopher Christie surprised many at a Dover church public forum when he said sneaking into the United States is not a criminal act. "Being in this country without proper documentation is not a crime," Christie told more than 60 residents and town officials. "The whole phrase of 'illegal immigrant' connotes that the person, by just being here, is committing a crime." Being undocumented may be a civil wrong, but it's not a criminal act, Christie said. "Don't let people make you believe that that's a crime that the U.S. Attorney's Office should be doing something about," he added of entering the country illegally. "It is not." …….. The U.S. attorney had been invited by the local chapter of the Latino Leadership Alliance of New Jersey, a statewide group formed to empower Latinos to obtain political, economic and social equity, and hosted by the First United Methodist Church of Dover. While Christie told the audience it doesn't take a "genius" to see there's a "serious immigration problem" in this country, he stressed an undocumented immigrant is not a criminal unless that person re-enters the country after being deported. Rather, the state's top federal prosecutor called the problem of undocumented immigration "an administrative matter" that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement is supposed to address. "If there are people out there committing crimes, they should be dealt with," Christie said. "If there are undocumented people running around, then Immigration and Customs Enforcement should do their jobs." |
As long as we have brain dead pro-open border advocate morons like Christopher Christie and Johnny Sutton of the Southern district of Texas serving as U.S. Attornies we won't even begin to solve the illegal immigration problem facing down and undermining America at every turn with our Presidents' blessing. Christie should not only be fired immediately and with extreme prejudice he should be filed on for refusing to do his sworn duties and for any crimes comitted by illegal aliens within his district since he became a U.S. Attorney. The madness has to stop!
