first off this "drill baby drill" petro-inferno meme is the stupidest ever. even by the low standards of republican memes, this one is stupid. speaking of republicans, i am not sure i see much but republicans everywhere at this point. moderate republicans call themselves "democrats" by some quaint naming convention.
my favorite example of conservative "debate" about this came from cspan, one of those special session streams that allows members to talk to the empty chamber and the cspan audience which i suspect is not much more populous. a representative from florida. he had a chart. he said that, unlike everyone else, he had actually visited anwar. he said that the whole thing was based on a hoax, that there was no wilderness there. he said he asked his guide where the trees were and his guide said there were no trees for hundreds of miles only tundra and the congressman said there are no trees so there is no wilderness. therefore all of this was a hoax perpetrated with the sole intent of saving little critters who do not even live in a wilderness because there can't be one without trees.
such is the discourse that travels within the confederacy of dunces.
