A major component of the Democrats’ energy legislation and the Democrats’ answer to our energy crisis is, hold on, wait one minute, wait one minute, it is promoting the use of the bicycle.
Oh, I cannot make this stuff up. Yes, the American people have heard this. Their answer to our fuel crisis, the crisis at the pumps, is: Ride a bike.
Democrats believe that using taxpayer funds in this bill to the tune of $1 million a year should be devoted to the principle of: “Save energy, ride a bike.”
Some might argue that depending on bicycles to solve our energy crisis is naive, perhaps ridiculous. Some might even say Congress should use this energy legislation to create new energy, bring new nuclear power plants on line, use clean coal technology, energy exploration, but no, no.
They want to tell the American people, stop driving, ride a bike. This is absolutely amazing.
Apparently, the Democrats believe that the miracle on two wheels that we know as a bicycle will end our dependence on foreign oil. I cannot make this stuff up. It is absolutely amazing.
Ladies and gentlemen, I bring you the Democrats, promoting 19th century solutions to 21st century problems. If you don’t like it, ride a bike. If you don’t like the price at the pumps, ride a bike.
Stay tuned for the next big idea for the Democrats: Improving energy efficiency by the horse and buggy.
If we were apply this reasoning to another American crises like obesity, it would probably sound something like this...
A major component of the Democrats’ healthcare legislation and the Democrats’ answer to our obesity crisis is, hold on, wait one minute, wait one minute, it is promoting healthy eating and exercise.
Oh, I cannot make this stuff up. Yes, the American people have heard this. Their answer to obesity and the coronary disease, is: Eat healthy.
Democrats believe that using taxpayer funds in this bill to the tune of $1 million a year should be devoted to the principle of: “Stop obesity, eat healthy.”
Some might argue that depending on diet and exercise to solve our obesity crisis is naive, perhaps ridiculous. Some might even say Congress should use this healthcare legislation to create new miracle foods, bring new gastro-intestine surgeries on line, liposuction, GMO's, but no, no.
They want to tell the American people, stop eating, get exercise. This is absolutely amazing.
Apparently, the Democrats believe that the miracle of healthy living that we know as a diet and exercise will end our obesity crisis. I cannot make this stuff up. It is absolutely amazing.
Ladies and gentlemen, I bring you the Democrats, promoting 19th century solutions to 21st century problems. If you don’t want to get fat, don't eat. If you don’t like heart surgeries, get some exercise.
Stay tuned for the next big idea for the Democrats: Solving our energy crisis by riding a bicycle.

But on the other hand, the Republican approach to dealing with our future energy needs is to hand the planning over to a bunch of oil executives meeting with the VP, and then stamp the whole thing "secret". that certainly inspires trust.
Bravo, well said!! Please send your response to this in-bed-with-energy-execs Congressman McHenry. You, I, and bicycle commuters all know that bicycling IS A great (not the only) solution to many woes we face today, but unfortunately most of the population does not understand this...
On another note, it's great to hear that bicycle has finally got some traction :)
I saw the postings on bikeforums.net about this, too.
I think Rep. McButterpants needs to get off the Dennis Hastert exercise regimen, get out of the Beltway, and start talking to actual people (including real conservatives) instead of just trying to be clever and parroting Rush Limbaugh's speaking style.
