Good post Cooper. I find it funny that both AN and FLU claim to be conservatives, and yet they both seem to want government to step in an “fix” the price of oil.

They can’t seem to make up their mind. They each want the freedom to drive huge land yachts and fly up to the Bay area whenever fancy strikes them but they don’t want to pay for it. Kind of like the Iraq War – they each want some other generation of taxpayers to pay for it even though a President they each voted for started it.

As for me, I talk the talk, but I also walk the walk. I probably have a smaller carbon foot print than 80% to 90% of the population. I drive a very fuel efficient car, I live close to where I work, I rent a modest place, and I only fly if my job requires it (which happens very rarely.)

If everyone lived like me, gas would probably still be around $2/gallon. Meanwhile, FLU and AN are probably driving land yachts and flying around the country every weekend and then they want to try and blame me for fuel prices increasing. Like most faux conservatives, they are the epitomy of hypocrisy.
