Is BP Financing Terrorism

Will someone please remind BP that for every barrel of oil they allow to continue leaking into the Gulf it may be putting yet more money into the pockets of the terrorists? Who are using it to buy yet more weapons of mass destruction. Who are using these to kill our brave sons and fathers in the Middle East.

I mean, I’m just asking. After all, we all know, as we’ve so often been reminded, that we should not be buying oil from the Middle Eastern nations, because they allegedly freely disperse these funds to militant Islamic radicals who kill us, the good guys. Rather, we should be buying our oil from domestic producers, who have only our best interests at heart.

Yet what choice has BP given us, now that it’s chosen to cast our oil upon the waters, rather than into our SUV’s? We have to make up the loss somehow.

So I guess the Middle Eastern baddies will continue to pocket our petro-dollars, at least until BP can clean up the mess it’s made.

When will someone stop being so CC (Corporately Correct) and call the BP disaster what it really is? A clear case of capitalist corporate terrorism!

"Drill, Baby, Drill!"

Lately, I’ve become outraged that the myopic and rabidly right-wing socio-political sector has taken so little punishment for its earlier and oft-quoted cry for irresponsible, runaway corporate greed as embodied in its aggressive demand to “Drill, Baby, Drill!”

Now that same body of near-sighted running dogs for the corporate oligarchs has conveniently forgotten that such blind adherence to a policy of oil at any cost is largely responsible for the disaster in the Gulf of Mexico. Instead, its adherents have sought to make this a test of the Obama administration’s competence to lead the nation, all the while hoping that the rest of us will not take the trouble to notice the blatant hypocrisy implicit in their criticism.

But I think they deserve to get a little more of a spanking than they’ve received up to this point. I think that Keith Olberman should end each of his nightly broadcasts not with a reminder of how many days have passed since BP’s huge debacle started polluting the world, but with a short video clip of Sarah Palin proudly and defiantly chanting “Drill, Baby, Drill!”

The right-wing apologists for corporate carelessness and enviro-terrorism need to be reminded on a regular basis where the blame really lies for the BP fiasco.

They are, after all, a forgetful lot.
