So if you're a Republican.......

You received a tax cut so you could pay for higher gas prices...

Exporting more jobs than you import is good....

Martha Stewart is worse than Ken Lay and needed to be "dealt with"...

WMD's are important until they don't exist, then they're irrelevant...

Hegemony is good, self-determination is bad...

Restriction of free speech is necessary...so we can ensure freedom...

We don't need a draft, but we don't have enough troops to do the job...

Making a hamburger=building a car...

Using the Constitution to discriminate is a good thing...

So says the Ministry of Truth......

How can the blind not see? Be a beacon of truth to those that would accept the Republican Kool-aid, do not falter in your task, and do what you must to defeat the lies and get through with the truth!!!

"Reason and Ignorance, the opposites of each other, influence the great bulk of mankind. If either of these can be rendered sufficiently extensive in a country, the machinery of Government goes easily on. Reason obeys itself; and Ignorance submits to whatever is dictated to it." Thomas Paine

Thnaks for the summary - a great list.

no naturally we need to curtail those freedoms. :o

in the Ministry of Love

If Bush knew anything about responsible spending we could actually have tax cuts thanks to the huge Clinton surplus. But thats out the window, 500 billion dollar deficit and rising.

Ahh good old OPEC cutting production, the cartel continues :( . They really need keep the work up on hydrogen fuel cells, that way we won't NEED to be reliant on the middle east.

They really need keep the work up on hydrogen fuel cells, that way we won't NEED to be reliant on the middle east.

A fully-integrated hydrogen economy would be at least a decade away, and that is only with an overly aggressive approach toward building the infrastructure necessary to its fruition.

Then, you're confronted with the fact that since hydrogen doesn't occur naturally in huge quantities, it must be produced by separating other chemical compounds. This takes ENERGY. As of right now, the most efficient means by which to produce hydrogen are through the expenditure of fossil fuels, especially natural gas.

And a huge problem here is that we are probably at least 25 years away from a hydrogen economy, if not more, based on the extremely limited amount of investment compared to what is required.

Right now, if you really want to attack the immediate problem, institute aggressive fuel efficiency standards and promote hybrid technology. Invest in public transportation and responsible growth policies that encourage people and businesses to locate in city centers rather than ever outward-creeping suburbs. Work on energy efficiency and decentralized power production. Now, none of this has to be to the exclusion of a hydrogen economy -- but it will go much further in reducing our dependence on oil, especially from the Middle East.
