Arnold Ahlert br> Boca Raton, Florida /p> p> Wow! I have been touting this same eventual outcome since reading and hearing what the messiah and the dumbocrats have been spoon feeding his mindless supporters. There can be no doubt now that Obama is indeed at best a socialist, although given his and his followers inclination to rule certain topics of conversation as off limits lest apostates offend his eminence or question his greatness, it appears to me the road to a liberal/socialist fascism would be on a slippery slope to hell. I agree with Mr. Ferrara that it wouldn't take long for Americans to rise up and kick the messiah and his socialism to the curb, unfortunately the current state of the world has a short learning curve given the Islamic threat, the new Russian bear, etc. In short, I worry we don't have a big enough window to be able to afford playing utopian games with a man who either clearly has no idea what he's doing...or worse. br> -- Stuart Reed br> Grosse Pointe Woods, Michigan /p>

A kudos (it's singular) to Peter Ferrara for coming as close as I've seen in print to Obama's projected attack on the living standards of "ordinary" Americans. There's really only one method of extracting our own oil and gas that the Left oppose, and that's any kind that works -- hence their eternal red herrings of wind and solar pie-in-the-sky-by-and-by.

Ferrara might have gone further, and drawn the obvious conclusion: that those lower living standards are not an unfortunate by-product of the Left's covert aganda, but its very raison d'etre; you see, we don't deserve to live as high on the hog as we've been doing! The Left doesn't want us to have that oil and gas -- the environment is only being used as a pretext.
