The socialism of "Drill Baby Drill"

As I recall, gas hit 1.60$ a gallon for quite some time after Obama took office.  He did release oil from the reserves, and did get us a couple years of relief from the prices we are again suffering.

But you know what is actually really funny about a US government triggered market control of something like the price of oil?  It's socialist.  The "drill baby drill" idea is in fact a socialist idea.  Whether they know it or not, the same people crying about big government and health care reform, are the same people crying for socialism in things like "drill baby drill".

Here's a general letter from America, about oil;
"Dear US government, please release cheap oil into the market from your federal oil reserves in order to drive down the price of oil, especially the price of gas at the pump.

Signed,
Everyone, including and especially Fox news fans, and the greedy, objectivist, narrow-sighted Ayn Rand mother***kers that constantly cry about big government and socialism."

The "Drill baby drill" concept is a socialist concept that wants for the US to mass ration cheap oil availability into the market and thereby reduce the cost of gas. It's that simple.

It's kind of like my last boss. He would cry about big government and then tell me not to worry about work being slow because I could just claim unemployment. HOW IRONIC. He claimed 2 days unemployment every other week himself. Whah boo hoo da gubberment is evul, oh btw I'm cool with unemployment insurance benefits.

So what do you want? You want a safety net or not? You want to admit some forms of socialism are actually desirable?  Or would you rather continue to live in a fantasy world where you never actually have a valid opinion because your opinion is more all over the place and flip floppy than Mitt Romney's voting record? 

Anyway, here is the candidates stances on energy policy.
