NY Times Says “Silver Lining” Of $4 Gas Is Death Of The S.U.V.
When General Motors announced recently that they will be drastically cutting production of their pickup trucks and sport utility vehicles, and possibly ending production of the Hummer completely, The NY Times celebrated.
It’s hard to convince most Americans that there is a silver lining to $4-a-gallon gasoline. But General Motors provided a nugget of good news when it announced that it would shutter much of its production of pickups and sport utility vehicles — and might even get rid of the Hummer, the relative of the Abrams tank unleashed on the streets in the cheap-gas days of the 1990s.
In the eyes of latte drinking liberals, high gas prices are a good thing. You’re a fool if you think Barack Obama has any interest in bringing down the price of gas. The liberal view is that the higher the price of gas, the less people will drive, which will be better for the environment.
Left-wing comedian Bill Mayer espoused the same viewpoint on his show “Real Time” just a couple of months back. He said, “yeah gas prices are high, but let’s be honest, that is better for the environment.”
Barack Obama told CNBC the other day that higher gas prices are a good thing, but he would’ve preferred it rise gradually giving the American people “time to adjust.”
In the mind of a liberal, Al Gore’s junk science is more important than whether or not working Americans can afford to get to work.
The way Americans should be “adjusting” is of course to begin using alternative sources of energy, but also to begin drilling our own oil right here in America. We have enough untapped oil reserves here in America to get off foreign oil, but the environmental thugs that continue to pollute Washington have always prevented this.
People like Al Gore, Leo Dicaprio, and Barack Obama will always be able to afford to travel so they don’t really give a rip how high gas prices go.
The Democrats entire world view dictates that gas prices stay high and go much higher so they can impose their global warming regulations on all of us.
