That mandate, and the tax breaks, were dealbreakers with the White House, who threatens to veto it.

Royal Dutch Shell Will Drill in the Arctic off the Coast of Alaska this Yea
2007-07-27 03:02:00 Finally, Royal Dutch Shell has brought sanity back to the oil business. Shell has rightfully decided that enough is enough, and will drill in the Arctic off the coast of Alaska this year. It is about time these companies who extract vital resources fight back against the environmentalist lunatics. The greenies simply seek to push us back to the Stone Age with socialism, and front their campaign with the ?noble? goal of saving the Planet. Sadly, we too often see advertisements for British Petroleum telling us about the benefits of biofuel and alternative energy. This is possibly the most damaging public relations campaign. What BP does not seem to understand is that the far-left will never give in to anything; liberals always want more government control over our lives until we are all equally miserable. Moreover, the left know these public relations campaigns are simply a ploy. Even worse, the advertisements convince mainstream Americans that we need to stop drilling for...

Energy Independence: The Solutions Limousine Liberals Don?t Want You to Hea
2007-06-15 23:58:00 Contrary to what politicians have been spouting recently, American energy independence can be accomplished with very simple solutions. These solutions are so obvious, in fact, that it begs the questions why these policy modifications have not been implemented. In reality, the reason these changes haven?t been implemented has a straightforward answer as well: limousine liberals do not ?really? want energy independence.If energy independence was their goal, we would never hear anyone tell us that ethanol, wind power, solar power, florescent light bulbs, hybrid cars, or bio-diesel can achieve anything of significance. We would never be bombarded with misinformation from the ?glittering gems of colossal ignorance.? We would never be told that using more energy to improve our standard of living and prosperity is an addiction. Moreover, we would not have to sit through ridiculous congressional hearings with ?Big Oil? CEOs; maybe I am the only one who watches CSPAN?So, allow me the dauntin...

But it wasn?t all rat-licking lies. Most pundits concentrated on Iraq and wacky health insurance stuff. But that?s just bubbles and blather. The real agenda is in the small stuff. The little razors in the policy apple, the nasty little pieces of policy shrapnel that whiz by between the appearances of the Presidential tongue. First, there was the announcement the regime will, ?give employers the tools to verify the legal status of their workers.? In case you missed that one, the President is talking about creating a federal citizen profile database. There?s a problem with that idea. It?s against the law.
