Truckers are the Answer!

July 13, 2007

Hello, Folks;

I was sitting here thinking about a number of things going on in this nation. We have a lying, conniving, disingenuous, and despotic government which has us in a prolonged and costly war in Afghanistan and Iraq, overrun with illegal immigrants, under constant attack from the oppressive and intrusive and all too often illegal depredations of the various Homeland Security behemoth, overtaxed by an out of control IRS, underpaid due to the crushing pressure of a bogus economy, and trying to find a way to pay for a tank of gasoline to take our kids somewhere for vacation.

Yes, it is outrageous to think of this great nation so strapped as a result of an arrogant and criminal President, a toady Congress, and a disastrously unchecked federal justice system.

Then an idea came to me. Who is possibly the largest user of fuel of a liquid nature? The answer? The tens of thousands, or perhaps hundreds of thousands of American truckers who depend on diesel fuel for their daily livelihood.

The rapidly rising costs of diesel fuel, as a result of the government's many follies in the Mid-East over the past two decades is largely and unarguably responsible for those atrocious costs, cannot be denied.

That being the case, I propose that truckers are the answer to the problem.

I suggest that a country-wide epidemic of fuel flu that causes all of the truckers to have to stay home for a week or 10 days, would do a lot to get the attention of the public AND government swine.

Think about it a while. Truckers spend their working lives moving every sort of commodity throughout this nation, to places where no one else can deliver.

If truckers want to get a message out, and one that cannot be ignored, fuel flu epidemics on the weeks just before Thanksgiving would do a lot to get across the idea that we are tired of the antics coming out of Washington, DC.

If all the truckers, both independent as well as company drivers, could come together and agree that they should stay home for 10 days, conserve fuel, rest up and get over their fuel flu, all at the same time, it would instill terror in the hearts and minds of the DC swine who have done so much to hurt not only truckers in their attempts to support their families, but all of America.

If the Thanksgiving time frame is too soon, let's pick another date this Spring, pass it around, and get it done.

This idea isn't hard. It doesn't involve doing anything or going anywhere. It takes simply staying home with your families for 10 days and letting nature take its course. Ten days without deliveries will get a lot of people calling their Congress-person and raising hell. They might even call the not-so-White House and let that bunch of criminals know what they feel about the deprivations that a stalled trucking industry would bring about.

Then all the truckers could smile and know that fuel flu is a good thing, and that they can exercise their power to do that which Congress isn't willing to do, and the American people need. Get the message to DC--We are tired, and you are fired!

A friend told me that it is possible the President would scream and holler and order the federal courts to issue orders to force truckers to drive. Somehow I don't think that would work, since the truckers I know are pretty independent. No company would fire its fleet of drivers. It would close them down. The President can't get the Army, or whomever, to commandeer the trucks and drive them, because there are not enough military people who know how to drive them, much less where to go and what to do, once they are in the seat.

Yessir, folks. I think we have a possibility here. What do you, the readers, think about this one/ Pass it around to those you know who are in the trucking industry and see if they are interested. Fuel flu! An idea whose time has come!
