The Oilfield Bust 2016...AGAIN?!

       Oklahoma is in another severe downturn in the oilfields again!

    This is an exact repeat of what happened in the early eighties!

The OPEC nations have ramped up production to make sure they keep their hold on the market share by flooding the market with cheap oil.

Why hasnt Oklahoma tried to diversify their economy before now?

Why aren't we the trucking Hub of the United States?

We are at the crossroads of America with I-35 and I-40 intersecting in Oklahoma City.

We have the largest inland port at the Port of Catoosa that goes all the way up to the Gulf of Mexico by New Orleans.

We have the cheapest fuel prices and license tags for semi trucks anywhere in the nation.

Only one reason and that is because of the turnpike system. There are too many people are making too much money  selling bonds to keep these refinanced into eternity!

Until the stranglehold on our economy is broken, Oklahoma will never advance economically. We are a one natural resource state. Our economy is built upon oil and very little else.

Until we learn this, we will never break free from the slavery of unstable oil prices. We will constantly be at the mercy of nations who hate us!

Why are we letting  nations who hate us, and our way of life, dictate our economy by adjusting the price of a barrel of oil on the world market?!

I do not see a downside of removing the turnpikes and making them a free road. As one person said, the turnpike system looks like a wagon wheel with spokes coming out of Oklahoma City. If these were free roads, we would be able to attract all kinds of trucking companies here to do business in Oklahoma.

We are better than this! We have been through this before. It seems to me that we have learned nothing. What will it take to wake us up and change our economy?

Peaceful/ Moderate Islam?

Here is a link to a story I read recently. http://www.christianitytoday.com/gleanings/2015/january/robert-p-george-saudi-arabia-whip-me-raif-badawi-uscirf.html There is no peaceful/ moderate Islam. As Ravi Zacharias said it so well " Is there such a thing as Moderate Islam?". From what I see and read, moderate Islam exists in this country alone and no other. Islam has one goal only and that is to convert the whole world and set up a world wide Caliphate. You either convert or die, there is no 3rd option or alternative.  Moderate Muslims are just as vile to the Fundamentalists,  commonly referred to as Radicals, as any other infidel! Their spread in this country is quite frightening! The main reason Islam is growing in this nation is because Christians have not been the witnesses we should have been and we have not lead people to Christ as we were told in the Great Commission.

A recent sign of how far we have slipped is in letting a Muslim call to prayer being broadcast from a Christian church! It was at Duke University! Here is the link.  http://therightscoop.com/duke-university-to-hold-muslim-call-to-prayer-services-in-christian-church/ Do you think a Mosque would allow Christians in this country to do this? Much less in a Muslim country like Saudia Arabia? Of course not! Then why are we laying down our rights as a Christian people?  This is absurd behavior! We need to wake up and stand up for our rights as Christian people or, we will no longer be a Christian nation! These people are not wanting to assimilate and become Christians and Americans they want to come to this country and convert it to Islam and bring about the worldwide Caliphate!
