Obama's views on Islam affect energy policy
Chad Groening - OneNewsNow - 3/4/2011 3:50:00 AM
A bestselling author and critic of Islam says President Barack Obama seems to have such a "warm and benign positive view" of Islam that he doesn't think it's necessary for the U.S. to free itself from its dependency on oil from Islamic countries.
This week oil prices topped $100 per barrel when the New York Mercantile Exchange opened for trading. Prices rose as fighting escalated in Libya, which is a major oil exporter to Europe. Forces loyal to Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi pushed back against protestors in the eastern half of the country, battling for control of a key oil installation and an airstrip.
Â
Meanwhile, the American Petroleum Institute estimated that oil and gasoline supplies dropped last week in the U.S., with the American Automobile Association announcing that gasoline pump prices have risen to an average of $3.39 per gallon.
Â
Saying he means the pun intentionally, Robert Spencer of Jihad Watch says Islamic countries literally have America over the barrel.
Â
"They have us caught in this because of oil," he states bluntly. "So that's why we should be opening up the Gulf for drilling and opening up the Alaskan oil reserves. These things are just commonsensical...."
Â
Spencer faults the responses of the past two administrations.
Â
"[George W.] Bush was tied in with the Saudis. I don't know what his motives were, but ultimately he did nothing to stop this foreign dependence," the Jihad Watch leader says. "And Barack Obama seems to have such a warm and benign positive view of Islam that he doesn't think that it's necessary to free us from this foreign dependence."
Â
Spencer says the United States is in a very bad position as a result of this energy policy.

Welcome

For Christian American readers of this blog:
I wish to incite all Christians to rise up and take back the United States of America with all of God's manifold blessings. We want the free allowance of the Bible and prayers allowed again in schools, halls of justice, and all governing bodies. We don't seek a theocracy until Jesus returns to earth because all men are weak and power corrupts the very best of them.
We want to be a kinder and gentler people without slavery or condescension to any.
The world seems to be in a time of discontent among the populace. Christians should not fear. God is Love, shown best through Jesus Christ. God is still in control. All Glory to our Creator and to our God!
A favorite quote from my good friend, Jack Plymale, which I appreciate:
"Wars are planned by old men,in council rooms apart. They plan for greater armament, they map the battle chart, but: where sightless eyes stare out, beyond life's vanished joys, I've noticed,somehow, all the dead and mamed are hardly more than boys(Grantland Rice per our mutual friend, Sarah Rapp)."
Thanks Jack!
I must admit that I do not check authenticity of my posts. If anyone can tell me of a non-biased arbitrator, I will attempt to do so more regularly. I know of no such arbitrator for the internet.
