Drill off Florida Coast/Naturists say No?

Let me start by saying that as Americans in the early history of our country, we were a nation on innovations and inventions, adaptations and improvements. Our founding generations (1770-1810) gave us the ability to freely govern ourselves in a no restrictive way. As the founders had planned, our laws were established based upon the assumption of a virtue driven society. The founding generation had a great idea of what it meant to be a good person and a solid American and virtue became intertwined with our government.

Since the 1970s, however, the liberal tree-hugging left have infringed upon our freedom in various ways, in an attempt to change America and Americans into something they are not, something different. Liberal politicians and judges tried to legislate morality in a different way, not built upon virtues of old. The leftist virtue became a new phenomenon and the so called values became imposed upon the world through various means i.e. the media, schooling, public service announcements, etc.. The left is trying to take over, in fact, a conservative virtue that was created by one of the greatest Presidents of our short history, Theodore Roosevelt! Roosevelt set aside more land than any American President in history and established various public parks associations and wildlife refuges.

The left has tried to kidnap Teddy's grand vision. Arbor day used to be a day to adore nature and it's natural beauty, it has now been perverted into a "set off carbon emissions" and create clean air and atmosphere day, which in no way calls for people to celebrate nature, but rather curse those who are purportedly abusing nature by using the American innovations such as TVs, or cars, or anything that might have the chance of emitting carbon. The leftists will not be satisfied until we are living in caves and using only direct human energy to do anything, they are trying to push us backwards in time, away from innovation and creation. Yes, and now we have turned against American ideas and thought and American nature as history has laid out, all because of the leftist of these few past generations have kidnapped virtue.

Drilling off the coast of Florida is the innovative and smart thing to do, no matter how long it will take to do it. The main argument against this drilling is that we do not want to upset the environment of a delicate marine life. This generality presupposes that conservatives for drilling have no qualms with destroying nature as she stands today, but this could not be further from the truth. We do not want to destroy or de-beautify the earth in any way, and when we drill, because we'll win this battle as gas prices rise, we will take caution in keeping the ocean environment safe and without damage. God, who gave us this earth to use as our help in life, "take the earth and subdue it" and "you have dominion over all the earth, the birds of the air the fish of the sea and all the animals of the land and creeping things" and so we need to utilize our gift now, more than ever. Drilling is a step towards reestablishing American innovation and adaptation, so is nuclear energy but that is a whole other blog. We need now, more than ever to reinvigorate our true American virtues of innovation and adaptation and start drilling in our own land, and also begin searching for innovative means to alternative energy. Floridians and people all across the United States need to contact their representatives and tell them they need to push for offshore drilling! Let us innovate, because without innovation America will not know herself, she will be disabled to a point of collapse.
