"We are indeed an oil dependent nation, and we need to get people to support more fuel efficient hybrid cars to remove that dependency, something that you huge SUV loving wrong wingers refuse to do. That is also despicable."

This makes little sense as it is not an either or situation considering our current circumstances. I do not identify with the category in which you have placed me so your allegations are spurious but that is no surprise. In addition you obviously have no idea what a person like me, is like, if I am like any persons you would understand at all.

It's idiotic statements like this that make me, as a libertarian, really despise the left much more than the right.

I'll bold this so maybe it will sink in just a bit.. There is enough oil, coal, shale and tar sands in North America alone to satisfy our petroleum based needs for many hundreds of years. Free markets will see to extraction and refinement as it becomes economically justifiable. All this yammering about SUV's is just another straw dog put forth by anti-growth, statist nimrods with a mentality best suited to living in caves, as our environmentally "pristine" ancestors did.

Why the hell do so called "progressives" hate progress so much???
