Even liberals should admit that Iran has vast and growing oil reserves. In fact, Iran has the 3rd largest oil reserves on earth. To put it in perspective, Iranian oil reserves could supply American consumption requirements at the current daily rate for twenty years and the Iranian domestic and export requirements for over a century.
Those same liberals then blithely accept the Iranian justification for spending vast sums of money on developing its nuclear energy industry for, of course, peaceful purposes.
How does the American liberal square the absurd Iranian claims with the liberal dogmatic and reactionary opposition to American development of nuclear energy for our vastly greater energy requirements?
Our raison d'être here at TRS
“War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself.” John Stuart Mill
We at The Real Sporer believe that the crises of our generation is the preservation of a United States of America based on fundamental rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Oddly enough, our generation, that grew in the quiet and secure 50s, 60s and 70s and thought we could escape history now find ourselves at the cross roads of history. At a time when the prevailing media, academic and even now industrial elites find the easy road of paternalistic socialist totalitarianism more expedient to travel we are convinced that only preserving the more traditional America will better provide the well known blessings of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness to us and our posterity.
In the real world, the Republican freedom agenda is the only alternative to the thought police and rations commissar of the socialist nanny state. But the agenda that we share with the founding generation, life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, will never again prevail if we don't fight our generation's battle to renew America's commitment to freedom with our socialist adversaries.
Our mission statement is therefore clear: provide the information and argument that leads to a Republican Renaissance and Republican governance.

How much oil do we burn for electricity? Not an awful lot, only some in peaking units. - Sorry Sporer, not a strong argument.
Been gone to attend to some personal business. It has been quite a ride in the prez races, and still continues to be very interesting especially on my side. I'm glad McCain will be your guy, I could actually live with him. But, he also has a good chance of beating our nominee. It will be an interesting race.
RF,
Are you kidding me about defending Iran's "peaceful" nuclear program? Do you possibly believe they have any other intention other than to blow Tel Aviv off the map given their oft repeated statements to do so lacking only the means to do it?
I think Ted made a pretty compelling argument against Iran's need for a nuclear program for any other purpose than to launch warheads. This also explains why they have both intercontinental missile and space programs as the "hidden iman" may need a little help setting off WWIII.
Ken,
I did not say anything about the Iranian nuclear program. I merely pointed out that if you don’t have to, burning $100 per barrel oil for electricity hardly makes sense for anyone, even oil-producing nations. That part of the argument is pure bs.
Fair enough except we make most of our electricity from coal in this country.
