Who&#8217;s starving when they consume 25% of the world&#8217;s oil?  Drilling offshore is like running down to the 7-11 to buy a carton of Marlboros when you&#8217;ve resolved to quit smoking. But who am I to deny my beloved creatures, made in my image?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>God proposed to do what no other human candidate can do:  Not <em>drill<\/em> for oil but create it!  &#8220;If oil&#8217;s what you want, if elected I&#8217;ll make so much oil, you can have a third tap in your house\u00e2\u20ac\u201dhot water, cold water, and gasoline.  Burn it all!  Burn some more! Forget solar!  Forget wind!  Never give conservation a thought! (Not that you do anyway).&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>There was only one provision of his plan that met with a chilly reception:  &#8220;But don&#8217;t come asking me for more atmosphere, oceans, forests.  Don&#8217;t ask me to bring back the extinct species or melted glaciers.   Who needs them, right?  You got places to go, things to do!  Just remember:  It&#8217;s the Pottery Barn planet\u00e2\u20ac\u201dyou break it; you own it.  So fire up those leaf blowers while there are still trees!  Get an RV and tow an SUV and a couple of ATV&#8217;s and Jet Ski behind it!  Enjoy life while it lasts!  Real hope for <em>your<\/em> future, not for some whiny brats who aren&#8217;t even born yet!&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As part of our continuing coverage of God&#8217;s bid for president, God in 2008, we bring you the following: In a bold policy speech, God scoffed at McCain surrogate Senator Isakson of Georgia who, in a call for offshore drilling, &hellip; <a href=\"http:\/\/dennisdanvers.com\/?p=213\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[10],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-213","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-god-in-2008"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/dennisdanvers.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/213","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/dennisdanvers.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/dennisdanvers.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/dennisdanvers.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/dennisdanvers.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=213"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"http:\/\/dennisdanvers.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/213\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/dennisdanvers.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=213"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/dennisdanvers.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=213"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/dennisdanvers.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=213"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
