i dont think "boot on the throat" reveals anything about the fascist nature of the current government. to me its an obvious attempt to show that the administration is angry about the oil spill and a play to get the people on their side.. same reason the administration stressed "BRITISH petroleum" several times.. common enemy type of thing, not a hidden fascist agenda that sometimes can be seen when referring to environmental disasters: "we must exterminate the inferior oil company! kill kill!"
At least the characterization is pretty honest to what they were doing. You cannot do much of anything that's useful when someone's boot is on your throat. He may as well have said that the beatings will continue until morale improves.
It's always chilling when the Left lets its mask slip. "Boot on the throat" is Fascist language, worthy of Mussolini. Would John F. Kennedy authorize such a characterization? If Lumpy had tried that on J.F.K.'s watch, he'd be out on the street that afternoon. Because he speaks for Obama, Gibbs gives us a good idea of the Oval Office mindset.
This "boot on the throat" is a chilling revelation of the way this regime really operates. From Orwell's "1984":
There will be no curiosity, no enjoyment of the process of life. All competing pleasures will be destroyed...there will be the intoxication of power, constantly increasing and constantly growing subtler...there will be the thrill of victory, the sensation of trampling on an enemy who is helpless. If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face — forever!
Well, they have been on it since Day One. Of course oil is still belching into the gulf, there are no burn offs planned, Obama is prancing around giving up state secrets, the stock market tanked, and the liberal wienies are depressed that another Muslim tried to bomb New York. Yeah, whatever Gibbs.
The total amout of IQ numbers for this administration are simply amazing.
This administration thinks that it will be punishment for BP?
It will be punishment for us. BP will have to raise prices, and all the rest of the petroleum suppliers will do the same. $5/gal gas will be here in a couple of months. BP will simply pass the cost through to us the consumer. The rest of the suppliers can raise their prices because theres no competition.
Oil isn't sustainable but our wetlands are if we get rid of oil. Oil is has and always be one of the worse offenders in enviromen business and the overall cost to everyone alive we consume too much oil. It is ruining our economy and enviroment causing wars for no reason other than who will control who gets to ruin the earth faster.
@cdltpx sounds good..... How do we do it???/ Tell me how to feed everyone and get goods to everyone, Drive me and all the 200 million other people to work..... please fix it.... easy to just talk shit... people like you are no help.... Just talk shit and live in la la land.......... AZBOY76 Your right on the money.....
@twistedfocus100 It isn't impossible to design decent public transport. You are so right we need to just continue as we are and we can all test out our weapons on one another when we get to the point we didn't prepare for; but knew was coming. I am the problem bc I am sounding the alarm. Americans are famous for shooting the messenger forget about it teach your kids how to purify oily water wear bullet proof clothing dress a gunshot wound bc they will need to know these things.
No wonder it took him nearly two weeks before getting on the ball with the Gulf oil spill. He's the top recipient of British Petroleum donations in the last election cycle. Now watch him demonize them every chance he gets. If he wants to lead by example, he should return their money like he did the 1 million in Goldman money. Oh thats right he did not return the Goldman cash.
so much bullshit.. your posioning my ocean.. hurry the fu.k up already.. dispearse youself.. its still gushing and you guys are still talking... stop it already you cone headed pricks....
BP's unique deep water oil spiill control equipment, oil spill despersants, and oli spill clean up AIN'T working. 2weeks later you got nothing, so don't stand there talking stupid. The technically deficient Interior Department's Minerals Management Services allowed this defective technology to blow up and ruin the Gulf Coast & the East Coast shorelines. There should be boots on lots of throats that's brought this endless death to the America people.
Drill a new hole..take the pressure away from 1st drill..then blow up 1st capped!! all so..give it till Friday...buy buy buy BP Stock..then after a month this will all be forgot about and stock will be up up up...i ty
and the oil companies own us too. we all need to a) pursue alternatives, yes it will be expensive at 1st, all new technology is on the onset-remember what a dvd player used to cost. b) maybe we use some of the govt. subsidies $ that is going to oil towards alternatives.c) get off the oil teet. be more conservative in usage, and hit bp where it really hurts their wallets.
Hey Gibbs, can you spell "Sperm Drinker"? Can you spell "I am fucking shit up as much as the Bush Administration?". 1st you put oil drilling on the Energy Bill. 2nd you have not retracted the Bushtard deregulation on Oil Platform safety. 3rd, the Atlantic Ocean will vomit black shit on our shores for years. 4th You have lost all democrats on the Energy Bill. Hu-fucking-rray.
And on top of all you still have not changed the of shore drilling idea.... What a cockup.
@graphattic hey how about your get rid of everthing that was made by oil if you hate it so much! everyhting i made with oil! even your fucking computer and parts in it!!!!! i bet you drive in your GAS car! STFU YOU GOD DAM FAIRY
And I did not say I hate Oil moron. But certainly, the Bush deregulation of safety on oil platforms made it possible for this to happen. Get it now? Learn to read a bit before reacting.
@graphattic Drilling will still be pursued nevertheless, we just need to make it better. Make sure you don't tax todge even though it's a sacred tradition ho ho ho.
Tax todge? Dodge? Anyhow, yes oil will still be drilled for, but if the drill was in Europe they would have an elevated security level, discarded by Bush. So more of the same NO. More cautious drilling, yes.
