we don't need the oil in Iraq...we have plenty here
Someone pointed out once, that it may be about controlling who gets the oil, not about needing it ourselves...

Oh we need the oil for sure. Not because the US doesn't have oil, but because liberals in congress have prevented anyone from drill new oil fields or building a new refinery since the 70's. Sure, we could handle most of our own oil needs, but the liberal environmentalists have blocked that route. We have no choice but to seek oil from outside sources.
You would be shocked about how many of those "liberal environmentalists" are shaking hands with the conservatives and helping to fulfill conservative agendas. Believe me when I say, if the conservatives REALLY WANTED TO DRILL, there wouldn't be much stopping it from happening. They're playing a political game with the minds of the taxpayers...that's all.
they fail to realize the true messege that I bring

What message would that be? If you don't mind me asking. Is your message actually your opinion? Or is it something that you actually exposed like the opening post suggests?

I've read all the posts about how you are such a hero for posting pictures of some pretty mundane stuff. You have not exposed any real truth here. What gives?

I still fail to see how it would make posting pictures and giving your opinion would make this thread such a heroic feat, possibly endangering you. I just don't get it. I've read and re read it. Then I read and re read the replies. I just don't get it. Call me ignorant if you will, but I do not see how or what it is that you have supposedly exposed.

Oh in no way is it just liberals fault. Conservatives didn't try hard enough to win the public debate on this issue, and ended up letting the liberals win on this issue. But this has been going on since the 70's and it has been liberals at the lead in this effort. Not democrats, but liberals, and there is a difference. Regardless of blame, the US has the natural resources to be energy independent, but due to gross mismanagement by Congress, we cannot use those resources, and have forces us to be dependent on others for our energy needs. Very frustrating indeed.

No problem, if nothing else, I find this to be a very interesting thread with many people posting their thoughts who are waking up to the agendas of the wealthy. Stop Loss's thread has been very beneficial.
