Margaret Sanger


Jonah Goldberg is one of my favorite authors. He also is one of the writers at National Review. National review just posted an excerpt from his book "Liberal Fascism". I recommend this book highly, but this chapter on Margaret Sanger is illuminating. Who is Margaret Sanger you ask? If you read the chapter, you will find out that she was a racist, Nazi sympathizer and Eugenicist. And oh yes, she is the founder of Planned Parenthood.

2008 was the year man-made global warming was disproved



Here is a wonderful article on how no one could continue to believe in Global Warming if you actually research it. I would love to hear from anyone who reads this who still believes it to be occurring and what their rationale is behind it. Please use the comment section to elaborate.

More on Global Warming

Ok, so the UN is holding a climate conference in Poznan, Poland currently to try to improve the Kyoto Protocol, and there finally is some people trying to dispute at the actual event about man-made global warming.


Here is the headline for this article:


UN Blowback: More Than 650 International Scientists Dissent Over Man-Made Global Warming Claims

Study: Half of warming due to Sun! –Sea Levels Fail to Rise? - Warming Fears in 'Dustbin of History'



So, who are these guys? Well, here's a list of them:


Nobel Prize Winner for Physics, Ivar Giaever

Atmospheric Scientist Dr. Joanne Simpson, the first woman in the world to receive a PhD in meteorology and formerly of NASA who has authored more than 190 studies and has been called “among the most preeminent scientists of the last 100 years.”

UN IPCC Japanese Scientist Dr. Kiminori Itoh, an award-winning PhD environmental physical

Indian geologist Dr. Arun D. Ahluwalia at Punjab University and a board member of the UN-supported International Year of the Planet

U.S Government Atmospheric Scientist Stanley B. Goldenberg of the Hurricane Research Division of NOAA

Atmospheric physicist James A. Peden, formerly of the Space Research and Coordination Center in Pittsburgh.


See the article for the complete list. Their comments are the most interesting thing in the article.

Pearl Harbor



From the White House:


On a quiet Sunday morning, December 7, 1941, more than 2,400 Americans were killed in the attack on Pearl Harbor. On that day, life changed in America, and the course of history was altered forever.

Our citizens reacted to the attack with firm determination to defeat tyranny and secure our Nation. This enterprise required the commitment and effort of our entire country. At the height of the conflict, the United States had ships on every ocean and troops on five continents. In all, more than 16 million Americans wore the uniform of our Nation. They came from all walks of life. They served honorably and fought fiercely. At home, millions more contributed to the war effort, laboring for victory in our factories, on farms, and across America.

Today, we honor those who fought and died at Pearl Harbor, and we pay special tribute to the veterans of World War II. These heroes hold a cherished place in our history. Through their courage, sacrifice, and selfless dedication, they saved our country and preserved freedom. As we fight the war on terror, their patriotism continues to inspire a new generation of Americans who have been called to defend the blessings of liberty.

Planned Parenthood

This video is first in a series of hidden camera footage, collected over the summer, documenting the sexual abuse cover-up of the abortion industry across the nation.

Despite a consistent pattern of lawlessness and abuse, Planned Parenthood, a tax-exempt "nonprofit", made over $100 million in profits last year and has a billion-dollar budget. Planned Parenthood receives over $300 million from taxpayers.

Planned Parenthood, a tax-exempt nonprofit, made over $100 million in profits last year and has a billion-dollar budget, nearly a third of which comes from taxpayers through government funding.

Do you still believe in Man-Made Global Warming?

Here is an article on the World Meteorlogical Organization. In it, it details all of the major issues that they are having and have had for quite some time. Who is the WMO? They are only the chief collector of weather data for the UN's IPCC report which Algore and others have touted on the "consensus" on gloal warming. Do you still believe?




UPDATE- For those of you who may think I am off the deep end on this, here is a petition signed by 31,000 scientists who feel the current beliefs about Man-Made Global Warming is flawed.

Taxing the Rich

Tax Analogy with Beer ( First Edition)

Suppose that every day, ten men go out for beer and the bill for all ten comes to $100.

If they paid their bill the way we pay our taxes, it would go something like this:

The first four men (the poorest) would pay nothing.
The fifth would pay $1.
The sixth would pay $3.
The seventh would pay $7.
The eighth would pay $12.
The ninth would pay $18.
The tenth man (the richest) would pay $59.

So, that’s what they decided to do. The ten men drank in the bar every day and seemed quite happy with the arrangement, until one day, the owner threw them a curve.

‘Since you are all such good customers,’ he said, ‘I’m going to reduce the cost of your daily beer by $20. ‘Drinks for the ten now cost just $80. The group still wanted to pay their bill the way we pay our taxes so the first four men were unaffected. They would still drink for free.

But what about the other six men - the paying customers? How could they divide the $20 windfall so that everyone would get his ‘fair share?’ They realized that $20 divided by six is $3.33. But if they subtracted that from everybody’s share, then the fifth man and the sixth man would each end up being paid to drink his beer.

So, the bar owner suggested that it would be fair to reduce each man’s bill by roughly the same amount, and he proceeded to work out the amounts each should pay. And so the fifth man, like the first four, now paid nothing (100% savings). The sixth now paid $2 instead of $3 (33%savings). The seventh now pay $5 instead of $7 (28%savings). The eighth now paid $9 instead of $12 (25% savings). The ninth now paid $14 instead of $18 ( 22% savings). The tenth now paid $49 instead of $59 (16% savings).

Each of the six was better off than before. And the first four continued to drink for free.

But once outside the restaurant, the men began to compare their savings. ‘I only got a dollar out of the $20,’ declared the sixth man. He pointed to the tenth man,’ but he got $10! ”Yeah, that’s right,’ exclaimed the fifth man. ‘I only saved a dollar, too.
It’s unfair that he got ten times more than I!!

”That’s true!!’ shouted the seventh man. ‘Why should he get $10 back when I got only two? The wealthy get all the breaks! ”Wait a minute,’ yelled the first four men in unison. ‘We didn’t get anything at all. The system exploits the poor!!! ‘The nine men surrounded the tenth and beat him up.

The next night the tenth man didn’t show up for drinks, so the nine sat down and had beers without him. But when it came time to pay the bill, they discovered something important.
They didn’t have enough money between all of them for even half of the bill!!!!!

And that, boys and girls, journalists and college professors, is how our tax system works.

The people who pay the highest taxes get the most benefit from a tax reduction. Tax them too much, attack them for being wealthy, and they just may not show up anymore. In fact, they might start drinking overseas where the atmosphere is somewhat friendlier.

For those who understand, no explanation is needed.

For those who do not understand, no explanation is possible.

Prayer for Home and Family

Lord, behold our family here assembled. We thank Thee for this place in which we dwell; for the love that unites us; for the peace accorded us this day; for the hope with which we expect the morrow; for the health, the work, the food, and the bright skies that make our lives delightful; for our friends in all parts of the earth.

Let peace abound in our small company. Purge out of every heart the lurking grudge. Give us grace and strength to forbear and to persevere. Offenders, give us the grace to accept and to forgive offenders. Forgetful ourselves, help us to bear cheerfully the forgetfulness of others.

Give us courage and gaiety and the quiet mind. Spare to us our friends, soften to us our enemies. Bless us, if it may be, in all our innocent endeavors. If it may not, give us the strength to encounter that which is to come, that we may be brave in peril, constant in tribulation, temperate in wrath, and in all changes of fortune, and down to the gates of death, loyal and loving to one another.

As the clay to the potter, as the windmill to the wind, as children of their sire, we beseech of Thee this help and mercy for Christ's sake.

You Be The Judge

I am going to not have any commentary on this video. You tell me what you think about it. Here is the website

Man- Made Global Warming??

Here is another article for you to read. With declining temps for the year and no actual warming since 1997, the supposed scientist are grabbing for straws to keep you believing. Please do all that you can to study this situation. There is a link in my favorites for you to study about this as well. I believe that what is happening is that this is a back door to socialism. They play on your thoughts that you are doing good for the "planet" by allowing these things to happen. Do you realize that Al Gore has made hundreds of millions of dollars claiming these things while being one of the worst carbon offenders in the country? If he truly was concerned, he would have given up the polluting elements of his life. But like most elitists, his theory is "I know what's good for you!". Please, oh please don't just buy what the media is giving you. Educate yourself on the truth!

Elton John and Prop 8

Not ever the shrinking violet on gay rights, Elton John is actually the voice of reason on this topic. Here is the article on it, but here it is...


NEW YORK — Elton John, accompanied by his longtime partner, David Furnish, had some choice words about California's Proposition 8, the ban on same-sex marriage that passed on Nov. 4.
In December 2005, John and Furnish tied the knot in a civil partnership ceremony in Windsor, England. But, clarified the singer, "We're not married. Let's get that right. We have a civil partnership. What is wrong with Proposition 8 is that they went for marriage. Marriage is going to put a lot of people off, the word marriage."
John and Furnish, and their two cocker spaniels, Marilyn and Arthur, were in town for Tuesday's annual benefit for the Elton John AIDS Foundation.
"I don't want to be married. I'm very happy with a civil partnership. If gay people want to get married, or get together, they should have a civil partnership," John says. "The word 'marriage,' I think, puts a lot of people off.
"You get the same equal rights that we do when we have a civil partnership. Heterosexual people get married. We can have civil partnerships."

Prop 8 Protestors

So, I have come to find out that anti-traditional marriage crowd is going to protest on November 15th. I think that we should do an anti, anti-traditional marriage protest. Tell them that the people have spoken and they should stop their crying, take their ball and go home like the bratty kids that they are (Was that a little over the top?). Please let me know if you wish to find out locations.

Was Bush a Conservative?

Here is a great article from Jonah Goldberg on this subject. The media tries to paint him as this ultra-conservative, but was he really? You be the judge.

Tolerance

As I hear from people who's viewpoint differ from mine, I always hear that I need to be more tolerant in my views. This generally comes from someone who does not know me very well and has no idea about how I actually think. Here's the thing though. The minute an outcome is different than what the "tolerant" people think should have happened, their tolerance amazingly betrays them. Here is the perfect example.





This was in Palm Springs. An elderly lady was about to be interviewed on TV when a No on Prop 8 group swarmed her.

Here is the definition of tolerance..."interest in and concern for ideas, opinions, practices, etc., foreign to one's own; a liberal, undogmatic viewpoint" and also "the act or capacity of enduring; endurance". You tell me. Do you see tolerance here? Just checking.

Rahm Emmanuel

Here is the President Elect's new Chief Of Staff Rahm Emmanuel being interviewed about forced National Service on the citizens of this free country. This "service" was also on Obama's website change.gov until it was scrubbed clean. There is also this article on it as well. As I have said before, we get what we deserve when he was elected



Glenn Beck

Veteran's Day


I just wanted to take this opportunity to thank all of the men and women of the military (past or present) who have fought and lived or died to maintain this former colony as the greatest nation on the planet. May all of it's citizens honor you and the sacrifices you have given so that could remain free. We owe you a debt that could never be repaid. May God bless all of you, especially on this day!

Google is Big Brother

Yes, I know that I am blogging on a Google site, but this article is just ridiculous. Am I the only who will think twice before using Google for anything other than this blog? The line that scares me the most in the article is one spoken by Google CEO Eric Schmidt "From a technological perspective, it is the beginning" WOW.

Global Warming?


Here is a map of the USA showing where temperatures have fallen in above or below average for the year. You tell me if it shows a warming trend this year.



A Sign of Things to Come?

I understand we are still under a Bush Administration, so this post will prove that I am a Conservative and not a Republican. The Federal Reserve has lent $2trillion dollars to institutions and is not revealing who it lent it to. Here is the article describing it. That is the taxpayers money. We need to demand to know where it is going or this will be the first of many things to come that will take us away from our core.

A Reason to Homeschool?

Has the USA gone Blue?




According to the Washington Post Electoral county by county map, you might see something that looks familiar to you. It's the fact that the USA is still a center-right nation even when it elects a Democrat. Let's hope BHO remembers that in 2010 when we get some seats back in Congress. So, once again...Never Fear!

The Morning After

Joe the Plumber

I find it disgusting what has happened to Joe the Plumber. All he did was ask a simple question of Obama. Now, Obama's answer may have outed himself as the socialist that he is, but what has happened to Joe since, goes to show what happens when you speak out against "The One".

Here is Joe, taking Rick Sanchez of CNN to the woodshed in discussing taxes and principles, but Sanchez then dragging Joe into the mud. It never ceases to amaze me the bias the media has.

Obama's Past

What exactly do we know about Obama's past. Not much, but more trickles out all the time. Here is an article about his trips to Pakistan in college (always the place to go on vacation!)

Obama will BANKRUPT an Industry

Here is an audio of Obama telling a reporter in San Francisco (of course!) that the new cap and trade policy (see my man-made global warming debunks) will cause coal plant to go bankrupt and that it will "skyrocket" your energy bill

Senator Stealth

After reading this article by Stanley Kurtz over at NRO, the same question keeps coming to me...How is anybody voting for this guy?

Encouraging News!!!

Pollster John Zogby: "Is McCain making a move? The three-day average holds steady, but McCain outpolled Obama today, 48% to 47%. He is beginning to cut into Obama's lead among independents, is now leading among blue collar voters, has strengthened his lead among investors and among men, and is walloping Obama among NASCAR voters. Joe the Plumber may get his license after all. "Obama's lead among women declined, and it looks like it is occurring because McCain is solidifying the support of conservative women, which is something we saw last time McCain picked up in the polls. If McCain has a good day tomorrow, we will eliminate Obama's good day three days ago, and we could really see some tightening in this rolling average. But for now, hold on."

Shamwow?

Ok, so I watched Obama's half hour variety show last night, and I walked away feeling, to put it mildly, like I feel when I watch those infomercials when I can't sleep about making zillions of $$$. Well, looks like my feeling was correct. Here is an AP article about his ad...and below are the excerpts from it


Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama was less than upfront in his half-hour commercial Wednesday night about the costs of his programs and the crushing budget pressures he would face in office.
Obama's assertion that "I've offered spending cuts above and beyond" the expense of his promises is accepted only by his partisans. His vow to save money by "eliminating programs that don't work" masks his failure throughout the campaign to specify what those programs are — beyond the withdrawal of troops from Iraq.
A sampling of what voters heard in the ad, and what he didn't tell them:
THE SPIN: "That's why my health care plan includes improving information technology, requires coverage for preventive care and pre-existing conditions and lowers health care costs for the typical family by $2,500 a year."
THE FACTS: His plan does not lower premiums by $2,500, or any set amount. Obama hopes that by spending $50 billion over five years on electronic medical records and by improving access to proven disease management programs, among other steps, consumers will end up saving money. He uses an optimistic analysis to suggest cost reductions in national health care spending could amount to the equivalent of $2,500 for a family of four. Many economists are skeptical those savings can be achieved, but even if they are, it's not a certainty that every dollar would be passed on to consumers in the form of lower premiums.
___
THE SPIN: "I've offered spending cuts above and beyond their cost."
THE FACTS: Independent analysts say Obama would deepen the deficit. The nonpartisan Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget estimates Obama's policy proposals would add a net $428 billion to the deficit over four years — and that analysis accepts the savings he claims from spending cuts. The nonpartisan Tax Policy Center, whose other findings have been quoted approvingly by the Obama campaign, says: "... Barack Obama have proposed tax plans that would substantially increase the national debt over the next 10 years."

___
THE SPIN: "Here's what I'll do. Cut taxes for every working family making less than $200,000 a year. Give businesses a tax credit for every new employee that they hire right here in the U.S. over the next two years and eliminate tax breaks for companies that ship jobs overseas. Help homeowners who are making a good faith effort to pay their mortgages, by freezing foreclosures for 90 days. And just like after 9-11, we'll provide low-cost loans to help small businesses pay their workers and keep their doors open. "
THE FACTS: His proposals — the tax cuts, the low-cost loans, the $15 billion a year he promises for alternative energy, and more — cost money, and the country could be facing a record $1 trillion deficit next year.

Universal Healthcare

I know in theory, universal healthcare sounds great. Here is a video that may change your mind.

A Call to Battle

I have been waiting for John McCain to fire me up. Well, here he finally does. Now let's go win this election!

I am Joe Part Deux

Redneck Sarah?

On a blog that is done by a friend of my wife, she just posted on her blog that she thought Natalie Maines of the Dixie Chicks shouldn't back down from her views and is a hero for speaking out. We could debate for days the difference between government censorship and the consumers of country music just being upset that the Dixie Chicks were being derogatory to the POTUS outside of our country during a time of war and just decided not to buy their albums anymore.

But what really got to me was a quote she has with it from Gloria Steinem..."Any woman who chooses to behave like a full human being should be warned that the armies of the status quo will treat her as something of a dirty joke. That's their natural and first weapon. She will need her sisterhood."

The thing that amazes me about that quote is that my wife's friend is the first person to deride Sarah Palin. Is that hypocritical? You be the judge. But with that being said, here is a video about the woman that will be the next VPOTUS.

Obama's tax plan

Here is an article by Paul Krugman (as far from a Conservative as you can get) talking about how Obama's tax plan doesn't effect just people making $250,000. It is now down to $182,000.

Here is how Krugman describes it:

"What about the claim, based on Joe the Plumber’s complaint, that ordinary working Americans would face higher taxes under Mr. Obama? Well, Mr. Obama proposes raising rates on only the top two income tax brackets — and the second-highest bracket for a head of household starts at an income, after deductions, of $182,400 a year."

Uncle Tom?

You tell me. I find his argument to completely dismantle any argument for liberalism.

Socialist or Communist?

After listening to this, you will at the very least come away with the fact that Obama is at best a socialist and at worst a communist. I'll ask this question again....How is anyone voting for this guy???






UPDATE- Here is a great article dissecting the interview

Dear Mr. Obama

More on Media Bias

If you read this article and don't think that the main-stream media is in the tank for NObama, you have drank some serious kool-aid.

Glenn Beck being funny

A VERY scary story

Here it is

Here's what we get if Obama wins

Here's a great interview with Barney Frank (maybe the single greatest cause of our financial crisis) describing what he invisions his priorities. There's a couple things that stand out to me...

1) Rep. Frank, D-Mass., also called for a 25 percent cut in military spending . Yep, that worked under Clinton, right? Oh that's right, it left us severely under-prepared for global conflict.

2) "And, ultimately, there will be tax increases on the upper brackets. "We'll have to raise taxes ultimately. Not now, but eventually," he said." - Remember, Joe Biden said it was Patriotic!

More on Gay Marriage and CA Prop 8

So my wife, two of her good friends and I have been having a debate on this subject. Her left leaning friend talks about how will gay marriage affect me and my family or how does it lessen my marriage. Well, other than the things that I have already covered in a prior post, my wife found this great website. There is a lot there, but here are a response to her friend.


1) Children in public schools will have to be taught that same-sex marriage is just as good as traditional marriage.
The California Education Code already requires that health education classes instruct children about marriage. (§51890)
Therefore, unless Proposition 8 passes, children will be taught that marriage between any two adults is of the same worth, regardless of gender. There will be serious clashes between the secular school system and the right of parents to teach their children their own values and beliefs.

2) Churches may be sued over their tax exempt status if they refuse to allow same-sex marriage ceremonies in their religious buildings open to the public.
Ask whether your pastor, priest, minister, bishop, or rabbi is ready to perform such marriages in your chapels and sanctuaries. (So isn't this infringing on my freedom of religion?)

3) Religious adoption agencies will be challenged by government agencies to give up their long-held right to place children only in homes with both a mother and a father.
Catholic Charities in Boston already had to stop providing adoption services in Massachusetts because courts legalized same-sex marriage there.

4) Religions that sponsor private schools with married student housing may be required to provide housing for same-sex couples, even if counter to church doctrine, or risk lawsuits over tax exemptions and related benefits.

5) Ministers who preach against same-sex marriages may be sued for hate speech and risk government fines.
It already happened in Canada, a country that legalized gay marriage. A recent California court held that municipal employees may not say: "traditional marriage," or "family values" because, after the same-sex marriage case, it is "hate speech."

6) It will cost you money.
This change in the definition of marriage will bring a cascade of lawsuits, including some already lost (e.g., photographers cannot now refuse to photograph gay marriages; doctors cannot now refuse to perform artificial insemination of gays even given other willing doctors). Even if courts eventually find in favor of a defender of traditional marriage (highly improbable given today's activist judges), think of the money – your money – that will be spent on such legal battles.

Happiness is being Conservative

This article proves what I have been telling my liberal friends my whole life. Now there's proof!

Just Look

The picture is an untouched photograph of a being that has been within its mother for 20 weeks. Please do me the favor of looking at it carefully.

Have you any doubt that it is a human being?

If you do not have any such doubt, have you any doubt that it is an innocent human being?

If you have no doubt about this either, have you any doubt that the authorities in a civilized society are duty-bound to protect this innocent human being if anyone were to wish to kill it?

If your answer to this last query is negative, that is, if you have no doubt that the authorities in a civilized society would be duty-bound to protect this innocent human being if someone were to wish to kill it, I would suggest—even insist—that there is not a lot more to be said about the issue of abortion in our society. It is wrong, and it cannot—must not—be tolerated.

Who does Obama sound like?

Listen to the audio and tell me who you think he sounds like. To me, it sounds like his Pastor, Jeremiah Wright and his Black Separatist Theology. Listen closely to all of the things he says.





Obama admits his Redistribution of Wealth is to SAVE the African American community SO HE CAN ENSURE HIS OWN SALVATION! (and Our Countries Salvation) He compares the plight of African Americans to the ethic genocide’s of Bosnia and Africa. He blames all of African American’s problems on “ONE GROUP” who suppresses them. And He says WHITE people don’t want their taxes to help black children.


Do the American people really want this guy to be President?

Answer's about Obama's Health Plan

A very interesting article on NObama's somewhat socialized medicine plan. A couple of things in the article stand out to me.

1) Q: Will I pay more or less for health insurance? Community rating will increase premiums for the young and healthy in order to cross-subsidize those who are older and sicker. Sen. Obama has also promised that his plan would reduce premiums by increasing the use of electronic medical records, cutting administrative costs, and emphasizing preventive care, but most experts believe those projected savings are highly speculative and unlikely to be seen for many years - if ever.

2) Q: Will I be able to keep the insurance coverage I have now? if you have an insurance policy that you are happy with today, but it does not match the type of plan that Sen. Obama thinks you should have, then you will have to switch plans, even if the new plan costs more.

3) Q: Will his plan raise taxes? Almost certainly

How does anybody fall for this?

In Defense of the "Rich".


So my Brother, who may be more Conservative than me (maybe) just sent me this article. It is such a rebuke of Obama's tax plan that it's remarkable. Something else that will be hard for liberals to swallow...it is written by a Conservative Black Man! The "open thinkers" on the left will surely denounce him as an "Uncle Tom" or something creative like that.

Rights

Why is it that people on the left are always concerned about rights until it's something they disagree with? Why do my religious rights need to be infringed upon because they disagree with me? Why are the rights of the unborn less important than the Mother's? Why will they always complain that their free speech is being stopped but then want to impose speech impediments (pun intended) to talk radio? Why is it ok to not have racist policies against minorities and then impose racism on whites (ie Affirmative Action)?

Can someone help me out on this?

What if "SNL" mocked Michelle Obama?

Here is a great article by Pat Buchanan on this.

Man-Made Global Warming?

Here is a documentary that was produced in England that thoroughly debunks much of the "science" used by Algore to push his agenda. There are eight clips about ten minutes each, so take your time. Now you'll have some good info to fight your "green" friends with.























Newt Gingrich getting it right

Newt knocks it out of the park in both clips




Who we're dealing with...

When you start to get a little down because you just read some poll figures, please just watch these videos and realize who we're dealing with. I promise that it will always perk you up! The last two are my favorite!






The Audacity of Nope

Here is a great song about Obama.


Does increasing taxes increase tax revenue?

Here are couple of good videos for those of you in favor of "taxing the rich".




Who caused the Fannie/Freddie mess?

These two videos may help you to figure it out...




Jonah Goldberg

Here is one of my favorite Conservative thinkers, Jonah Goldberg on another of my favorites, Glenn Beck, discussing Government...

1961- Ronald Reagan

Here is Ronald Reagan in 1961 discussing socialized medicine. What do you think what he would think of Obama's plan?

C.S. Lewis Quote

One of my favorite writers-Jonah Goldberg- just posted this quote over at NRO. I thought it was appropriate to think about...


"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience."

Where's the ACLU now?

The liberals in Congress always talk about not infringing on personal freedoms. But if you ever look into that claim, you'll see that it's only the freedoms they find important. But take this liberal genius. What ever happened to Freedom of Speech?

More Media Bias...

Here is a study on Presidential Coverage. You tell me if it's equal?

Gay Marriage and Prop 8 in California

Well, I know this is a touchy subject and I am going to be as delicate as I can with this topic. But I feel that this is one that needs to be discussed. As a person who believes that all have equal rights, I have thought long and hard with how I balance that with my religious views on the topic. So I am going to attempt to get all of viewpoints out (hopefully with all due respect) and see where it leads us. But first I want to let it be known that I do not wish any ill will on hetero or homo. We are all children of a loving Creator, and you are all my Brother's and Sister's in Him.

My religious viewpoint on homosexuality- This is my personal views and not necessarily what I believe we should do legally. I believe that homosexuality is a sin. There is not much more to expound on that. It's pretty simple and clear in any scripture that you read. Any other viewpoint on it or trying to justify that sin is meaningless in regards to religion. That being said, I do believe in personal freedoms, and if that is what two consenting adults wish to do (within the law), I cannot stop them. Just because I feel that it is a sin, does not mean that I do not love them it just means that I can't condone the sin. I believe that God loves all of His children and because he does, I do as well without judgement.

My religious viewpoint on marriage- I believe that marriage is ordained by our Creator. That it's sole purpose is to bind one man and one woman in His eyes so that we do not sin in the attempt to procreate. I believe that history will show that is what exactly was set up in ancient times. I do not believe that it is just a Christian or Abrahamic based, but you will see it in the Eastern Faiths and in Ancient Greece. What other purpose could there possibly be for it? What purpose would a homosexual couple need of "marriage" since it is physically impossible for them to procreate?


My legal viewpoint on gay marriage- Since the institution of marriage was and is a religious institution, I do believe that this falls under the Freedom of Religion parameters of the constitution. And because of that, I believe that people of Faith should be the ones to define it. Therefore, I do not believe that gay marriage should be allowed. But, being a constitutionalist does allow me some perspective on this. If a homosexual couple would wish to share in the same rights and privileges of married couples, wouldn't an easy compromise be to call it a "union" for same sex couples? They would not be lacking in anything and the argument of not having the same rights would no longer be available.

Now I know what same sex couples are going to say. That what I propose keeps them outcasted. I do not believe that their argument helps anything. The Faithful will always feel that homosexuality is a sin and never condone it. So, how does imposing the term "marriage" on to same sex unions get them acceptance? All it does is continue to polarize us. And if their argument continues into "why are you imposing your religion on me?"- here is my answer. The same reason why we can not allow for polygamous marriages or allowing a 14 year old to have sex with a 35 year old. Because the basis for our laws was in our Founders Judeo-Christian beliefs. Our laws are based in religious morality. If you wish to debate that, please feel free. I have enough web links for you about writings on this subject by our Founder's to keep you busy for at least a month.

Again, I have nothing but love for all races, creeds and religions.



UPDATE- For those of you who don't think this will affect me or my family, here is proof that you are incorrect. There is an agenda here.

Media Bias?

Here is a great article that sums up exactly how I feel about the media.

Eloquent Speaker?

Not so much without the teleprompter. Take a look here, or here, or here, or here, or here and here.

Tony Rezko- RNC Video

Here is a great video pointing out another of Obama's past friends that he now denounces (just like Ayers and Wright).

Funny Pictures




I think the pictures say it all...

Presidential Polls

Don't believe them. Just remember that in 2000 and 2004, Algore and John Heinz-Kerry were way ahead as well at this point and we know how those turned out. Trust me, the next two weeks will truly expose NObama for what he really is, a socialist. He just wants to "spread the wealth around". Am I the only one this frightens?

When the undecided voters actually begin to look into him, usually happens the last 3-5days of the campaigns, they will begin to see some scary things. Like all of his mentors in his life are either Socialists, domestics terrorists, black separatists or crooks and that he is just a regular old politician. They'll realize that all of his talk about change comes straight from Saul Alinsky, a communist (and community organizer, LOL). They'll actually realize that he has no resume or experience to hang an opinion of him on and realize that he may be all rhetoric. They'll look into his voting record and figure out that he is the most liberal in the Senate. They'll realize that, unlike his wife Michelle, they have always been proud of their country. They'll realize that their is just too many questions about his past that are unclear and no amount of auto-biographies that he writes will answer the real questions about him. They'll realize that they can't let a liberal President appoint more liberals to the Supreme Court. They'll realize that Barack Hussein Obama is not the man for the job.

Now, some liberals may read this blog and have questions that I am a racist or a bigot. I am none of these. I love people of all race, colors or creeds. We are all sons and daughters of a loving God. Please, oh please, remember that Martin Luther King Jr was a Republican. I would gladly vote for person of color for President. As long as said person was a Conservative. Condoleeza Rice, JC Watts or Michael Steele would be just great! But once Sarah Palin is elected VP and breaks that barrier, she will then have to be the next President and break that barrier!. Then, JC or Condie or Michael can get elected. And all will be right in the world.


UPDATE- According to the newest AP poll, the race is all even. Here is the link

UPDATE #2- Here is another poll. They happened to be the most accurate of the polls in the 2004 elections. So, buck up little camper. All is well.

I would be remiss if I did not begin my blog with the guy who inspired me to be conservative. Ronald Wilson Reagan (Ronaldus Maximus for those in the know) was quite possibly the greatest President of the last 100+ years. His strength, kindness, humility, intelligence and charisma helped keep the USA exactly as he said- "That shining city on the hill." He was always able to convey conservative thought in ways that the average person could not help but be drawn to. He single handedly ended the Soviet Union as we know it. He proved that Conservatism is the only way to help this country prosper. Once government gets in the way, he knew that it was difficult to correct the mistakes that it caused. He knew that free markets and less government would always be the best way to preserve our personal freedoms.

Ronald Reagan is an American Hero. There should be a monument made for him. The world is a lesser place with him not in it. I know that he is now in a place, serving his God once again, and still making everyone smile.
