Oil Drilling Moratorium is an Act of Treason

If you had any doubt that Barack Obama’s agenda is to destroy the United States of America, but still want more proof, I offer you the announcement that his administration will not provide any offshore oil leases in the eastern Gulf of Mexico, Pacific, or Atlantic coasts...for at least seven years!

In October, a study by the Maguire Energy Institute at Southern Methodist University concluded that the reduction of shallow water oil drilling permits that followed the BP oil spill would put as many as 40,000 jobs at risk and cost the region $4.3 billion in lost wages and revenues.

At the same time, a consortium of foreign oil companies led by the Spanish firm, Repsol, working with India’s state-run Oil & Natural Gas Company and Norway’s StatoilHydro are exploring for oil off the coast of Cuba where drilling in its waters will proceed even while American and other oil companies will be denied access to vast reserves off the coasts of all of the Gulf States.

From Alaska to Florida, offshore of California or any of the East Coast States, Obama is destroying America’s energy future in the same fashion his administration has done everything in its power to shut down the nation’s coal mining industry.

Here are the statistics that demonstrate how dependent we are on fossil fuels: In total they provide 84.9% of the energy Americans use. Of that, coal provides 22.4% and oil represents 39.2%, while natural gas accounts for 23.2%. Other energy sources include nuclear power at 8.3%, hydroelectric at 2.4% and the least efficient and dependable, wind at 0.3% and solar at 0.08%. (Data source: the Institute for Energy Research)

In March, Gov. Joe Manchin of West Virginia, a Democrat, said, “President Obama has made his intentions to bankrupt the coal industry clear. EPA’s actions this week demonstrate that he will wage a war against the energy source that generates half of America’s electricity and is our nation’s most abundant, reliable, and affordable energy sources.”

Gov. Manchin said that estimates were that the administration’s actions would affect 65,000 members of the Appalachian workforce who would lose some of the highest-paying jobs available in the region. At least $12 billion in lost economic development was forecast.

Nor is the Obama attack on the nation’s energy supply restricted to coal and oil.

In October, the Obama administration demanded $880 million in exchange for a $7.5 billion loan guarantee necessary to the construction of a Maryland nuclear facility. The plant would have generated thousands of jobs as well as needed megawatts of electricity for that State’s residents. The project was cancelled.

State by State as America ceases to mine its own coal and loses access its own oil reserves, the prices of energy which will have to be imported will rise while thousands of jobs related to these industries disappear, wrecking the economies of entire communities and delaying the recovery of energy-rich States.

These are acts of treason against the nation, if not in the narrow legalistic definition, but in the larger context of the harm being done to a nation for which affordable, abundant energy has been at the core of its economy and well-being.

The moratorium is the equivalent of an act of war on the ability of Americans to have the energy they need to recover from the present economy, to provide the jobs necessary to that recovery, and to fuel everything from the utilities that generate electricity and the nation’s fleet of trucks that transport the vast bulk of all goods.

This agenda of economic destruction has been carried out since Obama took office in 2009. It is the reason Obamacare was inflicted on the nation, asserting control over one sixth of the nation’s economy. It is the reason the government took over General Motors and Chrysler. It is the reason Obama failed to come back from South Korea with a trade treaty and has stalled others in the pipeline.

In countless ways, the engine of the federal government is being used to betray and impoverish Americans.

Cry treason! For that is what it is.

From the very onset of this Muslim President taking office, everything he has implemented has done nothing but to further damage the economy of this country and gut the middle class - and now with this moratorium which is effectively killing thousands of more jobs that his administration is supposedly working so hard to protect - well, that is when he's not off on another overpriced vacation at our expense that is! Has anybody ever seen such a president before who has done so little for this country yet feel so inclined to take so many vacations in your life? Aside from the loss in jobs that this moratorium brings, it further deepens our dependence of foreign oil from people who not only happen to be muslims like our president, but do not hold the best interests of America at heart and in many ways help to supply and arm our enemies through subterfuge.....And all this for what - to further his green agenda by continuing to assault the coal and oil producing industry.....Even though the man-caused global warming science has been revealed to be the masterbatory fantasy of Al Gore....and exaggerations of several liberal scientists!... I dread to see the state this country will be left in when we are finally free of this President and his liberal CON-gress' policies and hope that there will be a lesson learn t here by the fools who were duped by him and elected him to power (Those gullible sheeple) but I doubt it.........liberalism is a disease and a blight on this country's prosperity.....its is a destructive mindset not only aimed at the moral decline of our great nation, the feminization of our military, allows for the destruction of our cultural identity though unchecked immigration, and our ability to defend ourselves from our enemies......Obama is about as likely to be impeached as he is to be brought up before a federal judge regarding his Citizenship and legitimacy to be the president of the United States! So, since it more than appears that we cannot usurp this criminal regime through the courts, we can only continue to fight it and resist it as best that we can while operating within the realm of law...... (their law unfortunately) ......and continue to expose the treason they, the Democratic Congress is continuing to commit against the American people....... to the people so they understand......They are starting to listen........Opposition is growing.......
