FARC and Nancy Pelosi

When trying to figure out motives, the classic clue is: follow the money.  I wonder if Nancy Pelosi is receiving some kind of financial deal from FARC?  Does her husband or family have some arrangement with Hugo Chavez, so that the fall of the Colombian government would bring money to their already fabulous wealth?  

No other answer really seems plausible for why she would go out of her way to undermine a freely elected government.  She has agreed to send messages to cold blooded murderers.  Why has she sold her soul?

And why does Barack Obama go along with this?  He has a price, and now we are finding it.  They are both in the pocket of Chavez.

If a reporter was really on it, they would ask to see a full and open disclosure of the small donations coming into Obama's campaign.  How many are from out of the country?  How many are laundered through fake US citizens?  There surely aren't that many Americans out there donating small amounts.  

But no one will ask.

It is time that the press start asking hard questions, and doing some investigating.  Why did Nancy Pelosi kill a trade agreement with Colombia?  Why did she work in the background with FARC, who has the goal of destabilizing the elected government of Colombia?  Why isn't Jim McGovern (D-MA) arrested on charges of working with terrorists for his work with FARC?  And why is Barack Obama openly against a free democratic ally in South America?

I don't expect a reporter to go after this, not in an election year.  It would call into question the judgement of the Democratic leadership.  It would undermine the fable that Obama has spun that he is an expert on foreign relations.  And that wouldn't be consistent with the major media's adulation of their chosen candidate.

The Colombians pulle of an amazing rescue of 15 hostages.  There was no negotiating, there was no exchange of terrorists for innocents.  What is sad is that there are still hundreds of hostages still imprisoned by the terrorist FARC.  When will Nancy Pelosi start working to support a freely elected government to wipe out those who seek to destroy their country?

It is truly shameful, and Obama needs to answer why he is playing along.  This demonstrates why he is not ready to lead the free world.

Rescued Hostages

Congratulations to the Colombian Army, President Uribe, and the US forces who assisted!  This is truly a celebration of Independence Day!

May Nancy Pelosi stop the politics for a day or two, and acknowledge that the people of Colombia are our friends and allies!

Call for Drilling for Oil

Write your Senators and Representatives and tell them to lift the ban on drilling for oil.  They are driving us into a depression, and ruining the future of America.

Congress unserious

From Maria Cantwell's website:

"American consumers, businesses, and farmers demand leadership and vision for our nation's energy future.  We must develop an aggressive, innovative strategy to lead the way toward energy independence."  Her most recent efforts to reach these goals include "incentives for investments in renewable energy,"

If the market thought this was a good deal, the money would be there today.  Incentives mean subsidies, which means a lobbyist at the trough of pork spending.

"ban gas price gouging, "

Never been proven.  Allocating a scarce resource requires prices to float to what people will pay.  Otherwise we run out.  Did Maria ever take Economics?

"boost fuel economy standards,"

And build a bunch of cars that no one wants to buy, further harming the auto industry.

"increase transparency in oil and gas markets,"

Because Maria is smarter than all the investment managers out there.  That's why the Senate wants to now bail out a corrupt corporation, Countrywide, who gave preferential rates to their buddies Kent Conrad and Chris Dodd.  Remember: for every contract betting on oil increasing, someone is betting on the other side, for it to go down.  And if they are speculating on increases, it is because that is what the market is telling them given the nonsense that Dems are spouting.  Just like Maria.

"make more cars biofuels compatible,"

Why are we growing corn just to burn it in our engines?  Giving subsidies to huge farmers for this is just more evidence of corruption of earmark spending.  Our friends make money, everyone else stands in a food line.

"and invest in Northwest alternative fuel infrastructure."

No idea what this means, except more money for Maria's buddies.

None of this will solve the problem, which is why gas keeps going up.  They are fools, and the market knows it.
