If you can't nationalize it, blow it up?

I was rather happy Monday when a federal judge in Louisiana ruled that the Comrade's decree to prohibit ALL offshore oil drilling was unjustified. During some hearings today, a congressman (or someone) said banning all offshore drilling because of the spill in the Gulf of Mexico is kinda like banning all air travel as a result of a single plane crash. Yeah.

Glenn Beck came up with an interesting theory. See, the rigs that are out there in the Gulf now and not being used will be leased or sold to drill elsewhere. Most notably, Brazil, where apparently a nationalized Brazilian company called PetroBraz wants to sink a well in 14,000 feet of water.

The thing is, PetroBraz is partly owned -- at least in terms of its shareholders -- by George Soros.

So what is this? Pay-back to Soros for funding the Comrade's presidential campaign, footing the bill for all those wild-eyed leftist Internet spin factories and feeding money to the likes of Acorn?

Looks like it.

I mean, nobody agrees with the ban on offshore drilling. The Comrade got a bunch of scientists to sign-off on a statement about the spill, then after they signed, the Comrade added a couple paragraphs to the document claiming that all offshore drilling should be banned.

That's outright fraud, you know? That's like if you wrote a $10.00 check for groceries, and the store moved the decimal point over and added a couple zeros. I mean, that's definitely criminal.

And the residents of the Gulf who are, after all, suffering the greatest from the oil spill -- you'd think they'd welcome the shut down of the other drilling platforms, wouldn't you? But no, they're dead-set against the ban on drilling. See, they work on those platforms and they understand that they are generally safe and not likely to go the way of the one that blew up. And with the fisheries ruined, tourism on hold this season, and the general relentlessly crappy state of the economy, they want the jobs.

In addition, if we lose the oil to be pulled from those other, perfectly viable platforms, won't that put the USA only more in hole in terms of dependency on foreign oil?  Perhaps in addition to George Soros, the Comrade wants the US to go begging to some fascist thug like Chavez in Venezuela for oil. After all, Chavez is another marxist and self-proclaimed master-of-the-universe. Perhaps the Comrade feels left out that so much of the Western Hemisphere is imprisoned under totalitarianism while the USA still enjoys some level of political liberty. Can't have that. It wouldn't be "just", would it?

But, gosh, I wouldn't want to suggest that the Comrade is selling out the nation to win friends and enslave people.

He wouldn't do that, would he? I mean, he has too much regard for the USA and its citizens, doesn't he? Too much respect for the principles behind the USA. And God knows, he's such a staunch supporter of free enterprise and personal liberty.

The Soros thing might seem like some crazy conspiracy theory, but you know what? It just fits. It sounds like something the Comrade would do.

Save the republic.
