Define Folly

Define folly:  a costly and foolish undertaking; unwise investment or expenditure.
 
The following is an excellent piece that illustrates why destroying our own productivity in the interest of reducing global warming while the rest of the world races ahead is detrimental and futile.
 
The best chance for the earth is American ingenuity. Through our own progress and technology we have the best chance of overcoming the problems and finding the solutions. However, it will not happen if we destroy our ability to do so.
 
 
It is time to acknowledge that there is a major segment of our society that is convinced that the only thing great about America is that we are the problem. America is greedy, abusive and exploitative and therefore America must be punished and the way to achieve this is through restrictive limitations on our success.
 
What faster way to achieve this goal than through crippling our economy and our energy independence.
It is time to ask, "What Is The Real Agenda ?"  Why are we not fast tracking development our own oil resources? The President is hinting that he may be willing to open our Strategic Oil Reserves. This is a 38 day supply at present consumption, that once used up... then what. This needs to be off limits, saved for the potential catastrophic event that would by nature have already eliminated the vast majority of daily oil
consumption. In that scenario we will undoubtedly be under martial law.
 
If the President does open the reserves, then you need to ask some very hard questions. If we know it only makes a very small difference for a very short time then why do it? Sabotage?
 
If much of the world, Russia, China, Venezuela, Mexico and obviously the Muslim Middle East all hate the USA but love our dollars as long as we continue to send them by the shipload, what will they do when we can't send the money? Can you imagine one of the above that would not love an opportunity to shut off our supply, to create an embargo just as we have done to each of them?  Add to this that about half of this country is unwilling to fight to actually win a war in the middle of the worlds most volatile battle ground.  
 
We are not fighting just a radical jihadist ideology in the Middle East but also a radical liberal elitist progressive element here in America. The environmentalists, the socialists and big labor entitlement mobs have hijacked the Democrat party with the complicity of the main stream media who refuses to tell the simple truth that our country is broke.
 
Our news and talk shows all like to have expert guests on to discuss the problems in the world and here at home. But they really want to get back to the more important issues like Charlie Sheen and other celebrity nonsense. What we need is for America to call in to the Dave Ramsey Show. Imagine what he would tell Uncle Sam. Why is it that everyone knows that he is right when he tells you to get out of debt, stop using the credit card and plan for the future but for some ridiculous reason none of that advice is relevant for our country.
 
I'm fed up with watching it all and feeling like there is nothing I can do. I'm increasingly angry that our elected politicians seem more and more inept listening to them bicker with each other. It is a lot like the bickering we criticize when we see images of Arab politicians in the Middle East. Just different suits. Watching the nonsense in Wisconsin, Indiana, New jersey and Ohio along with the issues in California and Arizona and along our Southern Border really concerns me. We are in desperate need of some real leadership.
 
If I could send a message to our president it would be this:
 
Mr. President,  it is time for you to make two phone calls. No not to Glenn Beck's red phone.
 
The 1st call needs to be to Dr. Phill . You need to discuss your animosity toward this country that has placed it's trust in you and has elected you to lead in these perilous times. Get over the whole neo-colonialist anti imperialist white guilt issue. Your own father's former boss Jomo Kenyatta coined the phrase, "Forget the past." and "Harrambe" Swahili for lets pull together. You are OUR president.
 
2nd call needs to be to Dave Ramsey. You need to listen to some sound financial advice from someone who is not in politics and not from Chicago, but from Tennessee, a state that does not even have an income tax. But that is another debate...........
 
Mr President, imagine what you could accomplish if you embraced this amazing country called America?
Here for a quick look at our potential watch this short video of Americans at work...
 
It's an amazing country....I'm just sayin,
