Alaska is getting hammered this winter with thick sea ice and never-ending snowstorms. Nome, which sits on the Bering Sea, is facing fuel shortages if a Russian tanker doesn’t reach town soon, and Cordova, a fishing town that sits on Prince William Sound, is so buried in snow the National Guard has been sent in to help people who can’t even get out of their doors. Meanwhile, the Obama Administration, along with the Anchorage Daily News, keeps preaching global warming. Oh, yes, and I forgot to tell you that Lonnie Dupree, a well-known adventurer and eco freak, was forced to abandon his second attempt to climb Denali in the wintertime because of 100-mile-an-hour winds and 100-below-zero temperatures at 16,000 feet, which is way short of the peak. Some people never learn, or better said, it’s clear that lots of people never learn.
Nome needing to be rescued by Russia isn’t setting well with most Alaskans, precisely because it shows how badly the Obama Administration, along with the past Bush Administration, has let this nation sink into oblivion. Things have gotten so bad we can’t even function without Chinese loan sharking and Russians riding to our rescue. As far as I’m concerned, you’re not a true American if you aren’t ashamed and embarrassed by what’s been done to us by the fat cats and unrepentant sissies who run Washington D.C. A pox on both of our political parties, and it’s time for real leaders to step forward and tell the big spenders and professional crybabies to sit down and shut up. The country is at stake.
The Nome fuel crisis shows how low we’ve sunk. We have one Arctic icebreaker while the Russian have 25, Finland and Sweden have seven each, and Canada has six. Canada, Denmark, and Russia are busily making their claims to the Arctic Ocean, and we can't even patrol our share of it above Alaska.
The laughter you hear isn’t because those three countries are throwing a block party, it’s because we’ve ceded everything to them with nothing but a whimper. The only problem they have is China holds liens on everything, which will need to be paid.
