Rush, on Drilling

RUSH: And you're not going to get started until the first step is taken. But you are very shrewd out there, David, very shrewd, because the argument that the environmentalist left and their willing accomplices, the leftists in the Democrat Party, are all saying, "Well, this is just ridiculous. Drilling is not the answer." And they've got this pet phrase that's designed to discourage the whole notion of drilling. "We can't drill our way out of this," is their phrase, we can't drill our way out of this. Let me ask you people something. We are citizens of what? The United States of America. Now, since when are we gonna allow ourselves to be led by a bunch of people who say we can't, when it comes to something that we've already done and that we have excelled at? When did we decide we want to be led by a bunch of people that say that we are in a constant state of decline and that we deserve to be in a constant state of decline? When did we decide that we're going to be led by a bunch of people that say "we can't"? In your personal life, do you hang around with people who say, "You can't do that. We can't do that." That's not inspiring. Why in the name of hell would people vote for people who would tell you, we can't do that? We can't drill our way out of this. Yes, the hell we can. It's that simple. And, yes, the hell we should. It's that simple. Drill here. Drill now. Pay less. We're the United States of America. We can do it.

RUSH, on what we can (or will) do:

“….You can choose a ready guide in some celestial voice.
If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice.
You can choose from phantom fears and kindness that can kill;
I will choose a path that's clear
I will choose freewill….

….We can build a world of wonder….

.... You can live in grace and comfort
In the world that you transform….”

Obviously not the same Rush, but I liked what the first one had to say about this issue as well. I couldn’t miss the opportunity, however, to mention the greatest rock band of all time!

Ya know Obama is all about “yes we can” as well. But what he means is, “Yes we can enslave doctors, yes we can enslave pharmaceutical companies, yes we can enslave oil companies, as long as they don’t all realize their own self-worth….oh and yes we can negotiate with enemies whose only interests are our complete and total destruction.”

The sad thing is that it is Obama and all his little collectivist supporters that the media labels as “idealists,” implicitly or explicitly. I would never vote for Obama, but ya know I actually would have considered voting for Hillary over McCain. Weird huh?
