"Addicted" to Foreign Oil

Boy, liberals love to "throw around" terms like "addicted." Now they've even got Bush believing it: "I found it remarkable that President Bush said in the state of the union that the US is 'addicted to foreign oil'. Who must he have been placating? Was this an olive branch to the left? What is a Republican president, a former oilman himself, doing making a statement like this? He can't mean it! What does it mean? Could he be serious?" I think he has just "drank the Kool-Aid" the left has been handing him on a regular basis. What IS an "addiction?" It is certainly not needing a substance that keeps you alive, such as food and water. According to the liberals' definition of an "addiction," I’m "addicted" to food and drink because I partake of both on a regular basis. What stupidity! We aren't "addicted" to "foreign oil." We just find it NECESSARY to use it because the liberal environmentalist extremists have found it easy to get us to agree to our own destruction by not allowing a SINGLE new oil refinery to be built in more than THIRTY YEARS, and stopping ALL oil drilling in territories we control. They've CREATED the problem and are now criticizing US for not "solving it," using THEIR ideas. No. We're NOT "addicted" to foreign oil. THEY (liberal environmental extremists) have made it necessary for us to continue using it because nobody has found ANYTHING that will do its job better. These people must be "dancing in the streets" with Bush repeating their "mantra," and giving it legitimacy. (Antivenom)
