Liberal Columnist Reveals What Liberals Really Think About High Gas Prices

Don't be fooled by rhetoric from Democrats about how high gas prices are bad and they want to help. The truth is that their liberal masters are quite pleased with high gas prices. Want proof? Check this out from the Miami Herald:

Hurrah! Great news! When I filled up my car's gas tank yesterday, I paid an all-time record $3.41 a gallon, and experts are predicting that gasoline prices may soon reach $4 a gallon.

I can't wait!

Lest you think this is sarcasm on display and I'm missing the joke, read on...

I'm not kidding. I am more convinced than ever that unless gasoline prices rise above $4 a gallon, there won't be a nationwide uproar strong enough to force Washington to get serious about reducing the U.S. suicidal dependence on foreign oil.

It's all about BIG OIL! Or is it?

Barring $4-a-gallon gasoline prices, America will not get serious about reducing toxic emissions that worsen global warming, and will continue to fund corrupt Middle Eastern kingdoms that deny basic civil rights to women and fund Islamic fundamentalist schools, some of which preach violence against innocent ''infidels'' in the name of Allah.

Liberals don't care about Islamofascism, but I can see them getting behind higher gas prices because of another religion: Environmentalism.

Is Al Gore for higher gas prices? Some journalist with integrity ought to ask him.

And, closer to home, without $4 a gallon gasoline, Washington will most likely continue filling the pockets of oil-rich tropical autocrats.

And this is why when oil companies contribute to Republicans, they are called Big Oil. Conversely, when oil companies contribute to Democrats, they are cast as the "energy industry." Don't discount the politics of the liberal joy over high gas prices...

Venezuela's narcissist-Leninist President Hugo Chávez is a perfect example of U.S. oil-funded radicalism. When he was first elected in 1998 and gas prices were at $9 a barrel, Chávez was ridiculing critics who speculated that he would become a radical leftist. ''Me, a Communist?'' he asked reporters.

Today, with oil prices at more than $62 a barrel, Chávez ends his speeches proclaiming ''Socialism or Death!'' He claims that the United States is ''the cruelest, most terrible, most cynical, most murderous empire that has existed.'' And he chaperones Iranian Holocaust-denying President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad throughout Latin America.

I'm not real sure what the preceding two paragraphs have to do with the article at hand, but any chance to point out that Chavez is one of the "energy industry" people who liberals love...

Moving on...

Granted, the Bush administration will tell you that it is doing a lot to reduce America's oil consumption. In his recent State of the Union address, Bush laid plans to reduce U.S. gasoline usage by 20 percent over the next 10 years, among other things by increasing the supply of alternative fuels such as ethanol.

But Bush, a Texas oilman at heart, and the U.S. Congress, not immune to the car lobby, are far too timid in attacking the U.S. foreign oil addiction.

That's right...It's all Chimpy McBu$Hitler's fault that gas prices are so high and causing all of this joy in liberals...

Or something...

Well, at least he didn't blame Dick Cheney or Karl Rove...
