I'll simply counter by saying imported oil helps keep America free. How else can we fuel our C-130's, C-5's, C-17's, KC-10's, F-16's, F22's, helicopters, naval aircraft and ships, tanks, HMMWV's, CIA Suburbans, FBI Tahoes, Border Patrol Expeditions, Police cruisers.................

I sense a note of sarcasm here...
You can add to your list the fact that most of the 9/11 terrorists can trace their source of funds directly back to oil fields in the middle east.
I think just about everyone, left, right, centre, agrees the faster we can get off of foreign oil, the safer we will all be.
