Where Would Jesus Drill?

The other day, U.S. Rep. Michele Bachmann told us that we don't need Nancy Pelosi to save the planet. Jesus has it

covered. Here's what she said:

"[Pelosi] is committed to her global warming fanaticism to the point where she has said that she's just

trying to save the planet. ... We all know that someone did that over 2,000 years ago, they saved the planet - we didn't need Nancy Pelosi to do that."

It gets better.

What else did Rep. Bachmann's have to say?

   *     The Arctic Refuge is the perfect place to drill because "it is permanently frozen in darkness three months of the year under ice and snow for nine months of the year."

Yes. Aside from the frozen darkness and ice and snow, it does sound perfect!

   *      "[T]his area was specifically set aside for drilling by President Jimmy Carter for drilling."

Except that . . . . . . it wasn't.

President Carter said the law he signed actually blocked "any oil company drilling until

Congress votes otherwise. . . The simple fact is, drilling is inherently incompatible with wilderness."

   *     Bachmann also called past and current drilling on Alaska's North Slope a "31-year demonstration project of responsible drilling."

Except that . . . . . . it's not.

There's a long trail of oil spills and accidents on the North Slope, including BP's 200,000 gallon spill that went undetected for five days just two years ago.

Of course, Rep. Bachmann might believe that her Lord wants us to bulldoze new roads into, erect drilling rigs and

platforms on, and pump the oil out of His creation so we can drive around in our cars and warm up His planet. But does she really believe He'd approve of her fast-and-loose approach to the truth?
