Huh? I thought that purchasing the biggest SUV possible and guzzling as much gas as your Freedom allows was the way to "Keep America Rolling" / "Keep the Economy Growing", and was the true Patriotic thing to do? Get a big American flag magnet put on the tailgate of your mega pickup you drive to your desk job - that sort of thing?

Ah, but we should be happy that the Middle Easterners are "investing" in our properties, and not just building mega towers and artificial islands in Dubai. So we should buy more oil to thank them!

And to think that instead, the long-haired greenies in their old diesel Chevettes running on french fry oil are actually the ones protecting America as we know it....
