BREAKING NEWS: ANOTHER Oil Rig Explodes Off Louisiana Coast
I don't know if WAFB is a legitimate, credible news source, but I assume it is; it was linked on Drudge, and Glenn Beck mentioned it while I was preparing this. Apparently another Oil Rig has exploded in the Gulf of Mexico. Another excuse to shut down domestic oil drilling.
Am I failing to remember multiple oil rig explosions in the Gulf of Mexico in years past? Help me out here, fellow Principled Patriots! Honestly, I don't remember this sort of thing happening this often until BHO moved into the White House.
Who wants to bet against the fringe environmentalist left pushing for a permanent moratorium on oil drilling?
I don't know about you, but I want more information about this incident, and considering the environmentalists who stand to gain from such events, it should be thoroughly investigated.
Sadly, since it's 90 miles south of Vermilion Bay, it's not in water over which Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal has clear jurisdiction.
Will any organ of the Federal government do a proper, thorough investigation?
Here's the story:

I'm starting to think there's more to this than just "coincidence." Could be wrong, but the way things are going nowadays, I wouldn't be surprised.

- Tell me how a nonproducing rig can explode????

- The media may be sensationalizing this one. There is no spill reported. Just 13 safe people.

Permalink Reply by deborah a moore - Julie, the board that Obama set up months ago-why are the steps not happening to check them. It is only in 350 ft. of water. There goes the argument for safe low level water riggs. Sooooo, the inspections that Obama ordered-could they go any slower?

- Debra, anything he does is not meant to actually happen, Look how he promised Arizona help months ago, delay delay delay and why because he has other plans.

- This is perhaps the best question I have seen so far Julie. It makes no sense to me either. I know nothing on how an oil rig works but if it is not producing any oil then what is on that rig to make it explode? Concerning oil rig explosion conspiracies, I believe the Obama admin does have something to do with these. Maybe I'm crazy. I've been called worse. I would not rule out anything when it comes to bringing America to Her knees. I have NEVER seen a president like the one we have now. I also believe that Obama has pulled off possibly one of the biggest scams, besides global warming by Al Gore, in our history. Until he proves his citizenship I will never believe one thing that comes out of his mouth. He cannot be trusted and should be impeached NOW!

Permalink Reply by JessicaM - Things are happening that would suggest "set-up". I've noticed when the Democrats want a bill passed, then a "crisis" happens. Like the oil rig explosion. And then the egg recall when they want the food safety bill passed. And now another oil rig incident that just happens to be a bit out of Gov Jindal's territory. Oh so many co-incidents!
