NO-Bama

I pride myself on staying up to date on my current events. Doing this allows me to be informed enough to carry on an intelligent conversation about politics. Although I have several friends who do not share my views, I have never and will never let politics come between any friendships. I consider myself a "liberal Republican" even if I am the only one. I believe gay marriage should be legalized and that, under certain circumstances, abortion should be a woman’s choice. However, I do not think Uncle Sam has any right to tell me how much of my hard-earned money I “need” and how much I “owe” to the government so they can distribute my tax money in ways I don’t see as fair or beneficial. Although I understand that the majority of Americans voted in our current President, I think we would be better off if we’d been able to go to our local zoo to pick out animals of our choice to serve as our country’s political reps. After all, real elephants and donkeys probably have a better sense of cause and effect than our current administration.
Even if you say you “don’t care about politics”, the paper above is a must read. We need to spread the message to our leaders and friends about the importance of our domestic oil and gas companies. If we don’t, we all may get pretty used to paying European prices of $8 or more for a gallon for gasoline once we become totally dependent on foreign oil.
