Limbaugh:
"Oil is a commodity you need.
Crude oil is a commodity just like any other. It doesn't matter if you buy it from another country or your next door neighbor!”
Sir; a car is also a commodity I need. According to you it doesn't matter if I buy one from China or from one of your show's sponsors-GM. My food and dog food are also a commodities I need. It doesn't matter if I buy tainted food from China or organic food from my neighbor's farm-according to you.
Sir; I heard you once say:
“We get our crude oil from many countries. We get oil from Canada, Venezuela, the Gulf of Mexico and OUR FRIENDS, THE SAUDIS!”
Sir,I have friends near Battle Creek Michigan who have oil under their property. I would much rather buy gasoline refined from their oil than oil owned by the Saudi Royal Family. My friends take the money they get from their oil and they BUY AMERICAN!!!! They buy groceries made in AMERICA. They do 99% of their business,products and services with their neighbors; maybe a few items from Canada Mexico and Japan. Now, what do you think the “HITLERS” of the Saudi Royal Family spend their oil revenues on?! Anything that promotes Michigan's economy? Very little, I'de say. How about Mercedes, Jaguars, Chinese road making equipment; building equipment GOLD, DIAMONDS........!!!
Unlike the Saudis, my next door neighbor doesn't promote terrorism by directly supporting terrorists or cow-towing to them. My neighbor doesn't promote terrorism by keeping a country on an elitist ,oil- based economy like the Royal Family.which stifles a diversified economy which would raise the living standard and educational standards of the people of Saudi Arabia.. Those are prerequisites to preventing terrorism. The Saudi people also depend on the Royal Family's oil treasury for handouts.
Mr Limbaugh- how dare you equate buying ANY product from my neighbor to buying from the “HITLERS” or “AFRICAN BLOOD DIAMOND DESPOTS “which best describes the Saudi Royal Family or others like them!!!. How dare you equate the morality of it or the economic benefit for Americans.
The Saudi Royal Family are YOUR friends, sir- not ours!
