Lonely Conservative, she IS right, I am firmly convinced that we are on the verge of a rebellion in this nation, American people will not stand for this BS, we don’t have to, we have the Constitution to back us, at least until the powers that be suspend it, and then we find out who the REAL patriots are…

Katie may be on to something here. My local congressman who is a RINO just “changed his mind” and he is no longer against drilling in ANWR. The politicians can only bow down to the enviro-nazi’s for so long.

The gang of thugs in Congress is simply amazing. They create problems, then blame it on others, then try to fix the problems they created by creating more problems.

The treehuggers may not have their way for much longer. People are getting fed up with high prices on gas and oil. And once we start flooding the market with good American gas, the price should go down.

I find it strange that these treehuggers normally drive big SUV’s and then complain about how everybody else is destroying the environment. Hypocrites they are.

Better explaination:
The computer tells a driver he can get 73 gallons at the Pilot in Little Rock, Arkansas. If he gets 80 gallons (for whatever reason), he has to pay the company for the extra seven gallons…….

High fuel prices are putting one truck owner/operators out of business and companies are putting tighter strictions on company drivers. My husband’s company recently banned pets because “trucks with pets idle 4% more than trucks without”. Dogs have been companions for truckers since the beginning of trucking – it’s kind of sad and our min pin is p***ed!
Other companies are charging drivers if they put too much fuel in their trucks. With each load, the computer tells the driver how much fuel to get and where. Our company just sent out a memo that if the driver goes over the allotted amount, it comes out of the driver’s pay.
Some are charging drivers for “excess idling” time.
Folks, it’s not like we are making alot as it is and it isn’t going to get any better.

You’re right on the money, again, about the treehugger’s having this nation by the “short arm”. Michael Reagan said the same thing in an article here…he even names them.
