"Since that isn't what I said"

You said we should stop buying oil from the middle east. That will hurt them, whether you think so or not. I think the leaders that allow the hateful teaching would step it up a bit, and you think they would become our friends.

"If the US supplied 100% of it's own energy"

The demos won't allow that.

"the Middle East wouldn't 'starve' at all "

It would take a HUGE hit. If you don't think so you are dumber than I thought.

"1) Our national security would greatly improve."

I disagree, and you have nothing but your "feelings" to base this on. Again, starve them, and they would be even madder. You think they hate us because we buy oil. We are satan to the fanatics. They hate the freedom, the openess, the ability to worship any God or no God, etc. etc., etc.

"2) Our trade deficit would decline."

Maybe. Who cares? Why are you so greedy? Why does it bother you that we don't push more product out to the world than we take in? I think that our $ help other nations we trade with. Like most of the selfish people who are against our position, you don't seem to care about the plight of other nations. Eff 'em, right?

"3) None of our money would be diverted to supporting Middle Eastern fundamentalists anymore."

Bullcrap. Stupid statement by Buddy boy. No money would go to the middle east at all?

Surely you jest... that is about as realistic as having all 7 billion people in the world go live on a Walden's Pond.

re: upon your misunderstanding of the global economy

common, after our little discussion you still think that you're qualified to give an opinion on economy?

You're maybe dumb but, at least, you're consistently dumb, LOL
