I'm Just One Of Many

Politics Isn't Just A Game Of Clashing Parties And Competing Interests.

As Putin Rears His Head And Comes Into The Air Space Of The United States Of America, Where – Where Do They Go? It's Alaska. It's Just Right Over The Border.

Up Here In Alaska We're Sitting On Billions Of Barrels Of Oil. We're Sitting On Hundreds Of Trillions Of Cubic Feet Of Natural Gas Onshore And Offshore. And It Seems To Be Only The Republicans Who Understand That Companies Should Be Competing For The Right To Tap Those Resources, And Get That Energy Source Flowing Into These Hungry Markets So That We Will Be Less Reliant On Foreign Sources Of Energy. In A Volatile World, Relying On Foreign Regimes That Are Not Friendly To Americans, Asking Them To Ramp Up Resource Production For Our Benefit, That's Nonsensical.

I Might Add That In Small Towns, We Don't Quite Know What To Make Of A Candidate Who Lavishes Praise On Working People When They Are Listening, And Then Talks About How Bitterly They Cling To Their Religion And Guns When Those People Aren't Listening.

Bear Hunting? Come On Up And We'll Fix You Up, You Betcha. Just Be Sure You Bring Some Hunting Buddies With You, Preferably Fat Ones Who Can't Run As Fast As You.
