Real patriots cut back on gas use

If you really want to make America stronger and are truly patriotic, you would cut back on gasoline consumption.

Too many Americans care only for themselves and that's why gas guzzling SUV's and pickup trucks are still on the road.

It's ironic to see an SUV or a pickup truck with a "support the troops" sticker on the vehicle as they travel at 70 mph or more down the highway.

Support the troops so that they can consume more foreign oil is what they mean.

It's almost treasonous. SUV's and pickups should be outlawed like cigarette smoking in bars and restaurants.

We already have laws to keep speeding down, which conserves oil, but these laws are being ignored and too little enforced.

So for all you treasonous gas guzzlers out there, either cut back or join up and go to Iraq and fight for your oil like real men.
