Last Refuge of a Liberal

Great news! Hillary Clinton, fighting for the people against the elites, vows to smash OPEC, according to Geoff Elliott.

"We’re going to go right at OPEC," she told supporters in Merrillville, Indiana. "They can no longer be a cartel, a monopoly that get together once every couple of months in some conference room in some plush place in the world, they decide how much oil they’re going to produce and what price they’re going to put it at.



"That’s not a market. That’s a monopoly," she said, saying she would use US anti-monopoly laws as well as the World Trade Organisation to take on OPEC.

Bless my buttons. You mean to say that one-size-fits-all health care Hillary has found a monopoly she doesn’t like? I thought that Democrats were all in favor of high energy prices because we need to conserve on our wasteful use of non-renewable energy and save the planet and stop global warming.

Listen, honey. Oil prices are high because you Democrats have been standing in the gas-station forecourt stopping the oil companies from doing what they are born to do. When Big Oil wants to drill for oil you tell the oil guys they can’t. Not in Alaska, not in the Gulf of Mexico, not deep offshore. When Big Oil wants to build a new refinery, you say no deal.

And now you want to blame OPEC for high energy prices?

Who was it who said: “Populism is the last refuge of a liberal.”

So it’s come this. In her last desperate bid to get the nomination for President of the United States, Hillary “politics of meaning” Clinton is demagoguing on energy.

Listen America. If you want low energy prices there is one thing you should never do. Never, never, never vote for a Democrat.
