{OT}:Citgo

Since Hugo Chavez thinks America is evil, maybe we ought to stop sending him
our evil petrodollars by not buying Citgo? Citgo is the primary outlet for
Venezuelan oil in the U.S.

So, instead of importing their oil across a short distance, we'll import
more from further away?

The decrease in transportation efficiency would lead to slightly higher
prices and would otherwise not bother the Venezuelans at all.

Oil is 100% fungible. If you're using it, you're supporting Chavez, no
matter where you buy your gas.

If you want to hurt Chavez, reduce your energy consumption (insulate your
house, car-pool, etc) and get others to do so.

You will:

Save money and reduce our trade deficit
Cut funds to terrorists.
Hurt Chavez' popularity and influence
Help keep the planet clean.

All worthy goals.

One of our Governor candidates in Ma owns a dozen or so variety stores
that sells Citgo. He says he is dropping them.

Charles,

The problem is, the libs will buy Citgo Gas because they agree with Chavez
and hate America too.

That's precisely what will happen--the DEMONrats will lineup to buy CITGO
gas as they are doing all the things that traitors would do.

Liberals love America. When we criticize it, it's to make
America even better than it is.

Do you think Bush and Cheney really love America? They
deliberately lied to America in order to take us to war. They
love Big Oil and Haliburton. That's where their allegiances lie.

Do you think Lyndon Johnson loved America? He also lied
to the America People in order to take us to war in Vietnam.
Johnson's Gulf of Tonkin resolution was one big lie, like
Bush's January 2003 State of the Union message.

Bush and Cheney should be sitting in a jail cell with
their lying friend Saddam Hussein.

Hogwash. Liberals like to think they do, but in reality they want
control over the masses.

OK, first off, did you get an F or just an F-- in Econ 101?

Venezuela also owns Citgo. If people don't buy at Citgo, then Venezuela
doesn't make money. That means no buying smokes at Citgo, or coffee or
bread or milk or any of that stuff. It does make a difference. True,
Chavez can sell the oil somewhere else, but those little mini-marts have
overhead, and if there's no cash coming in, that will cost.

Also, you dumb hick, those of us that are conserving are already doing the
best we can. I've cut down from 100 miles a day last year to an average of
15 this year. No I can't take public transportation where I have to go when
I have to go. I drive a Toyota Corolla now.

Typical left-wing knee-jerk (or should I say circle-jerk) reaction.

LIEberal DEMONcan'ts like America in the same way Joe Stalin liked Russia .
.. . . as something to exploit to give them power and money.

Remember success comes in CANs, failure comes in CAN'Ts.

As a /True Hetero/ I find those who bash /Out and Closet Gays/ are
usually Nominal Heteros. Nominal Heteros, of course, are folks who
pretend like they're /True Heteros/ but actually have same-sex
attractions that they keep secret from their opposite-sex spouses
or companions. LOL! ;-)

The Reverend Jerry Falwell, Karl Rove, Secretary Rummsfeld,
Queen Bush, and Princess Cheney are all Nominal Heteros.

Princess Cheney stands on firm domestic ground because his wife
is also a Nominal Hetero, like himself. They have a
genuine Nominal marriage--no big lie at the center of that marriage. Very
commendable of the Princess, uh, I mean Vice-President.

As a disclaimer, I must say these statements are being made purely
as comic jokes, and are simply comedy. Comedy is protected by the First
Amendment, so ruled the Supreme Court when the Reverend Jerry
Falwell sued comedian Jay Leno and/or the "Tonight Show" for calling the
Reverend gay in a joke. Or was it a pornographic magazine that the
Reverend sued--perhaps both the magazine and the Tonight Show. I don't
recall.

Anyway, all my statements about Queen Bush and Princess Cheney are
said in fun and comedy.

Actually, I did quite well in Econ 101 and then went on in it as a major.

OK - we stop buying Venezuela's oil. We buy it instead from Saudi. Saudi's
former customers then buy it from ... where? You guessed it, Venezuela.
Net impact on Venezuela's sales? Essentially zero.

Why "essentially?" We get oil from Venezuela and mix of other sources
because it's efficient to do so. If we tip the market, cutting off oil from
Venezuela by fiat, we disrupt the efficiency of the distribution mechanisms.
Somebody's going to pay for that. It will be the consumer, of course, but
the incremental demand for energy to move X million barrels of oil an extra
N thousand miles per day could drive up prices a bit. The winner?
Venezuela.

You reduced your oil consumption by some 85%? Well done. You've reduced
support of terrorism and accomplished other useful goals. Thanks. As a
bonus, you get to save money.

However, you and I can't do it alone. Detroit built bigger and bigger cars
for the last two decades. Go look at what's commuting back and forth to
town. A long line of nearly empty SUVs.

Overall, US energy consumption goes up and up and up... We need an
effective national policy designed to strip oil despots and terrorists of
their financing and power and the Bush Administration isn't doing this.

Oh, you're just upset that I refer to your Heroines as Queen Bush
and Princess Cheney :-P

Princess Cheney, a Nominal Hetero, did the right thing: he married
a Nominal woman. Without saying a word to each other, they each know the
other has same-sex attractions.

But Queen Bush, also a Nominal Hetero, married a /True Hetero/,
Laura. Laura would have a cow if she found out her hubby had
same-sex attractions. "Why didn't you tell me this before we
got married!" [laughter]. That's why I say Princess Cheney's marriage
is on firmer ground. [chuckle] ;-)

If Laura
