There's "Global Warming" and then there's "Man Made Global Warming". What's the difference?

There's "Global Warming" and then there's "Man Made Global Warming".

Two different things. The earth goes through cycles just like humans do. Humans change with age and the Earth changes due to its own internal processes and from solar activity. To say that man is the cause is the epitome of arrogance. We are no more able to control the Earth and it's weather than we can control what the next lottery numbers are going to be.

Earth has been hot. Earth has been cold. In the grand scheme of things the Earth has thrived when it's warmer. More types of plants and animals develop. It's the "Man Made Global Warming" bullshit that's shown as being a lie.

More and more scientists are coming forward and saying the data just doesn't add up. The scientists stayed silent until now because if they didn't go along this the scam, they'd be out of jobs, out of their grant money and out of the business due to the overwhelming pressure the scammers like Gore are putting on our places of higher learning.

Here are some real Scientific facts on Co2:

1. Carbon dioxide is not the major greenhouse gas (water vapor is)

2. Carbon dioxide accounts for less than ten percent of the greenhouse effect, as carbon dioxide's ability to absorb heat is quite limited.

3. Only about 0.03 percent of the Earth's atmosphere consists of carbon dioxide (nitrogen, oxygen, and argon constitute about 78 percent, 20 percent, and 0.93 percent of the atmosphere, respectively).

4. The sun, not a gas, is primarily to "blame" for global warming -- and plays a very key role in global temperature variations as well.

5. Most of the carbon dioxide in the atmosphere does not come from the burning of fossil fuels. Only about 14 percent of it does.

6. Human activities contribute slightly to greenhouse gas concentrations through farming, manufacturing, power generation, and transportation. However, these emissions are so dwarfed in comparison to emissions from natural sources we can do nothing about, that even the most costly efforts to limit human emissions would have a very small - perhaps undetectable - effect on global climate.

This chart explains the amount of man made (produced) elements contributing to our atmosphere. The green areas show it and the numbers are the percentage of each element.



Big Brother Al Gore wants to control how you live, work and spend your free time.

Don't let this scam become any worse than it has.

Remember, Man Made Global Warming/Climate Change is a lie and a scam!

ps: If you want to waste money on the so-called "Carbon Credit" scam, I wish you'd send your money to the USO or the Toys for Tots programs. That way at least the money won't be going into the pockets of scam-artists like Gore, but to a genuine charity.

What does socialism bring us? Obama knows the answer and you won't like it!

I used to assume that most Americans understand socialism is an evil, immoral system of economics and government.

But then I'll have a conversation with a younger person who has been taught throughout their life that only the government can spread wealth fairly or that market economics is inherently corrupt.

So, let’s ask the real question: "What does socialism bring us?"

Here are a few things you might like to think about:

-Do you believe in private property?
-How would you feel if someone took yours?
-Where has socialism ever succeeded?
-What does the government do well?
-What does the Bible have to say about economics?
-What did America's founders have to say about economics?
-Is socialism constitutional?

If you answer these questions honestly, you’ll see that socialism is an unmitigated disaster.

Most people believe in private property – especially their own.

Most people don't like having their things stolen. In fact, it's government's job to protect you from theft, not to be the thief.

Most people will be unable to point to a single successful socialist experiment – unless they choose some relatively new Western nation with a "mixed economy." Those include Canada, formerly Great Britain, France and other European countries. Those countries are more aptly described as “Social Democracies” You might even say that America fits this category. It's important to recognize that mere survival as a nation over a period of time does not make for a successful experiment. Socialism, for instance, aims to eliminate or reduce poverty. In none of these nations has poverty been eliminated or reduced as a result of socialist experiments.

Most people recognize that government is necessary, but inefficient. What they might not recognize is that it is also poses the greatest threat to freedom. The more power it has, the less freedom individual citizens have. Government is a necessary evil – something that should be tolerated as a limited nuisance, not counted on for your basic needs.

Most people don't realize the Bible countenances private property. It holds it up as honorable – as long as it does not become a diversion from God, as long as it does not become man's god.

Most people apparently forget what our founders had to say about property. They forget that our Constitution expressly limits the power of the federal government. You could say constitutionally limited government is the opposite of socialism.

It's going to be a painful awakening when Americans see how the country will be under the new Obama administration.

-Wait until you see how expensive "free" health care really is.
-Wait until you see how little wealth you have after they spread it around.
-Wait until you see what it's like to have to ask a government bureaucrat for permission to do things you once took for granted.

That's what socialism brings us. People have to see it for themselves.

They have to experience the misery and the control the government will exert over their lives.

They have to see it with their own eyes to believe it.

Maybe then, we will have a chance to get America back on track.

Maybe then, we will have enough courage and desire to fight to regain what we have lost.

Maybe then, our experiences will protect us, for awhile, from the freedom-stealers.

Maybe then, we will have enough sense to educate our young people as to the inherent evils of socialism – so they won't be fooled, again.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Have a great day and be thankful we live in America.

We just had an election. Whatever side you were on doesn't matter now. Now it's time to make sure our country gets back to where it should be.

You know, in The United States we have a unique situation that's never before been done in history.
America is able to have a change in power, by the People through election, without resorting to violence and military force.

Think about it. We've never had a military coup, a dictatorship or an outright seizure of the government by any outside force. That's unique in the history of the world.

And that's something we all should be grateful for!

Jack is Back!

On this Veteran's Day, A Mother Asked:

A mother asked President Bush, "Why did my son have to die in Iraq?"

Another mother asked President Kennedy, "Why did my son have to die in Vietnam?"

Another mother asked President Truman, "Why did my son have to die in Korea?

Another mother asked President F.D. Roosevelt, "Why did my son have to die at Iwo Jima?"

Another mother asked President W. Wilson, "Why did my son have to die on the battlefield of France?"

Yet another mother asked President Lincoln, "Why did my son have to die at Gettysburg?"

And yet another mother asked President G. Washington, "Why did my son have to die near Valley Forge?"

Then long, long ago, a mother asked... "Heavenly Father, why did my Son have to die on a cross outside of Jerusalem?"

The answers to all these are similar -- "So that others may have life and dwell in peace, happiness and freedom."

News of the Obama administration.

This is pretty funny, but I'll bet it's much closer to the truth than the MSM would have us believe.

Thoughts and observations on Election Day.

Is America about to fall into a Marxist/socialist hell hole by electing Barack Hussein Obama as President? I hope not but so far the reports indicate that he'll win.

I noticed today that Barack's good buddies Bill Ayres and Louis Farrakhan have cast their votes at the same polling place as Obama and Michelle voted. No surprise there.

There are reports of Black Panther members intimidating voters at the polls in Philadelphia. Is this the kind of thing we should expect in "Obamamerica"?

I've always thought that the Republican Party didn't do enough with the Ayres and Dornn connection.

Alert: Warning to All Americans considering voting for Barack Hussien Obama

William Ayers and Barack Obama have a working relationship for at least 21 years, and have cooperated in funneling tens of millions of dollars to leftist indoctrination progams for youth. All this you may have already known. What is even more chilling is this expose' on how William Ayers is planning to implement their mutual Marxist ideology, should Ayers attain influence on Obama through their long standing relationship.

Larry Grathwohl penetrated the Weather Underground for Cincinnati Law Enforcement to bring this first hand account of Ayers' (and the Weather Underground's) plans. As you may know, Ayers remains unrepentant to this day, and lives just a few houses away from Barack Hussein Obama. Obama's flimsy and ever-shifting denials of his relationship with Ayers have all but completely disintegrated.

Furthermore, the prime backer of Obama, Khalid Al Mansour, was a legal assistant to the Black Panther Party (with an office next door). It is known from testimony of Weather Underground members that the BPP and Weather Underground worked "very closely" together. Therefore it it likely that Mansour (who was advising Obama even before he moved from Hawaii, under the tutelage of Communist agent Frank Marshall Davis), was working with Ayers and Dohrn simultaneously.

Their plan to create "concentration" camps for re-education is particularly chilling. This scenario harkens back to the Khmer Rouge of communist Cambodia or the days of Mao's purges in communist China.

Their view, you either change to what they want or you die.

What Kind of Change?

Once upon a time, there was a charismatic and eloquent young leader who decided his nation needed a change and that he was the one to implement it. The people were receptive and ready for change.

He spoke passionately when denouncing the existing system and the media loved him. Nobody questioned what he believed in or who his friends were. He would help the poor and bring free medical care and education to all. He would bring justice and equality. He said I am for hope and change, and I will bring you both. Few people bothered to ask about the change, and by the time the executioner’s guns went silent, all personal firearms had been confiscated, along with most personal freedoms.

When everyone was finally equal, they were (and are) equally poor, hungry and miserable. Their free education was (and is) all but worthless. Their free and universal health care was (and remains despite what Michael Moore says) a travesty. When the change was fully implemented, the country had been reduced to Third World status. More than a million people fled in small boats and rafts.

The charismatic young leader was Fidel Castro; the nation is Cuba.

The citizens of the United States would never fall for a charismatic, eloquent young leader who promises hope and change without asking, “what kind of change, and how much will it cost us?” – would we?

"Tito the Builder" vs the Liberal Media

This guy really gets into this reporters face about the over the top MSM coverage of "Joe the Plumber" and the lack of coverage of Obama's ties to the extreme left and socialism. The reporter is David Corn from the ultra-lefty-liberal Mother Jones magazine (I thought they went out of business?).

I don't know if "Tito" was a plant, but he sure says what a lot of us are thinking.

"Jou know what I mean"

Is Obama the kind of person we really want to lead us?

Please take a few minutes to watch this clip fron You Tube.

If there is any doubt in your minds that Barack Hussien Obama has associated, been supported by and agreed with these people, then you are in denial.

Change is sometimes good. But change just for changes sake is just plain stupid.

In Obama's case it's just plain suicidal for America.

A Remembrance: September 11, 2001

Every year for the past 6 I’ve been very sad and angry on this day. Seven years ago today, as Americans went about their daily business, children going to school, parents heading off to work, police and fire personnel manning their stations, a murderous group of Islamists attacked our country. I remember so vividly the cowardly terror attacks on America. This morning I awoke and immediately remembered the ones who were murdered that day. I said a prayer just like I’ve done for the past 6 September 11th’s. I got up, did my morning routine and came to work. I’m still angry. You say, “Get over it”? I say no chance in hell will I ever forgive OR forget. It’s something that’s been seared into my brain like a bad dream come true.

I remember what that Mensa member Idiot, Bill Maher said on his now defunct ABC propaganda program shortly after the attacks: “We have been the cowards, lobbing Cruise missiles from 2,000 miles away. That's cowardly. Staying in the airplane when it hits the building, say what you want about it, not cowardly”.

Well Bill, you are wrong on so many counts. And here are just a few of my reasons:

- Taking innocent civilians hostage and murdering them is cowardly.
- Attacking non-military targets is cowardly.
- Using civilian passenger planes as missiles is cowardly.

There is a HUGE difference between what our brave American military men and women do and the cowardly acts of terrorists.

- America tells you in advance that we are coming and why. No bullshit, no sneaking. It’s up to the enemy to prepare their defense.
- America comes at the terrorists in full uniform and under our flag. No hiding behind civilian clothes and posing as ordinary travelers or civilians.
- America does its best to avoid any “collateral damage” (BTW, I hate that term). The cowards we go after are different. They don’t care who else gets killed or maimed in the name of Islam.
- America doesn’t hide behind the civilian population. The cowardly terrorists do. They hide behind women and children. They attack from schools, hospitals and mosques knowing full well that U.S. military personnel are reluctant and under orders NOT to return fire.

You know, there are times when our country and our leaders are wrong. Lots of times. I see that and while I’m not at all happy about it, I can also see the good we have done across the world. Even in places where we are despised and denigrated, we continue to help.

That’s just the way we are here in the United States of America.

We give and give more.

We help and keep on helping.

We are a good nation of all sorts of people who want to do what’s right and just.

Is Obama a jerk or what?

What the hell is the matter with Obama?

I guess he's had the word "lipstick" stuck in his mind since Gov. Sarah Palin gave her acceptance speech a week ago.

I can't remember when a presidential candidate has referred to an opponent is such a derogatory manner.

Just goes to show that when we gets his mouth a-runnin' and the cheerin' a-goin', he can't keep his mouth from a-flappin'.

Governor Sarah Palin Rocks!

I love this lady! Governor Sarah Palin really Rocks!

Why? Because she’s not a lifelong politician and talks like a real person. No platitudes. No bullshit. No beating around the bush. Governor Sarah Palin is exactly what John McCain needs to co-pilot his “Straight Talk Express”.

Some of the liberal pundits stated after her GOP Convention VP acceptance speech that all it proved was that she could read a teleprompter. Huh? Well, so can Barack Obama. The difference is that Sarah Palin actually came up with specific policy points, whereas Obama speaks only in generalities. Where is Barack’s plan for America (other than taxing us to death?)

Obama likes to speak of change. I’m thinkin’ that’s all we’ll have left after he initiates all his pie in the sky social programs. Yes, according to Obama, government can cure all the ills of society. And Barack, old buddy, old pal, old sweat sock…Change just for changes sake is no change at all. You’ve proved that it’ll be more of the same with your choice of Sen. Joe Biden as your running mate. Who’s more entrenched in government that Joe? Well, maybe Teddy Kennedy.

The last thing I want is to find a guy in a cheap suit at my front door saying “I’m from the government and I’m here to help you”. As a working person I do not recall even once that I’ve truly benefited from any government program. And when I’ve tried to receive some kind of assistance it’s always been more trouble than it’s worth. People like me don’t have the help of publicly paid advocates who can do all the leg work and grease the wheels. It seems that the beneficiaries of government programs are always somebody else. The folks who don’t or won’t work. The folks who are happy to collect your and my hard earned taxes while they lie about and bitch that they aren’t getting enough.

Sarah Palin is just who we need in Washington D.C. Someone who’s not entrenched in the whole D.C. culture. An outsider who knows how to push back and not accept the status quo just because that’s the way it’s always been. No one told her she couldn't do it. She didn't need the backing of N.O.W. to get ahead. In fact she's just what the radical feminist crowd abhor. A self driven woman who won't take no for an answer.

Just seeing the beating Sarah’s getting from the MSM makes me all the more supportive. I was going to have to vote for John McCain if only because the thought of a President Obama chills me to the bone. The fact that he’s chosen Gov. Palin for his running mate shows me that McCain is serious about enacting some real change in Washington, not some baloney slices that Obama’s throwing our way hoping it’ll stick.

I just have a better feeling about this election than I had only last week.

Governor Sarah Palin showed on TV last night that she’s the Real Deal.

Trainspotting...or is that a Minkey on my back?

Rogue monkey at train station gives dozens of officials the slip!

From Reuters:

TOKYO - A rogue monkey holed up at a Tokyo train station for more than two hours on Wednesday before giving dozens of net-wielding police officers the slip among crowds of excited children and passersby.

"It's a monkey - it's not like it did anything bad," a police spokesman said, adding that the animal was still on the loose.

We'll not se anything like this until Cindy Sheehan starts her run against that "lucky housewife" Nancy Pelosi.

Now that'll be some real "Monkey Business".

Sorry...had to say it!

The Russian Mafia goes all the way to the top of the Military.

Those Russkie's SOB's stealing our stuff!

(I'm thinkin' that the US Military should change the radio channels right NOW! Of course, WTF do I know)!

POTI, Georgia

Russian soldiers took about 20 Georgians in military uniform prisoner at a key Black Sea port in western Georgia on Tuesday, blindfolding them and holding them at gunpoint, and commandeered American Humvees awaiting shipment back to the United States.

The move came as a small column of Russian tanks and armored vehicles left the strategic city of Gori in the first sign of a Russian pullback of troops from Georgia after a cease-fire intended to end fighting that reignited Cold War tensions.

The two countries on Tuesday also exchanged prisoners captured during their brief war. However, Russian soldiers took Georgians prisoner in Poti — the country's key oil port city — and commandeered four U.S. Humvees that had been used in U.S.-Georgian military exercises.

Obama's fast Talking...

Just a thought I had this morning:

After hearing Barack Obama speak, I'm thinking that he talks so fast that listening to him is like trying to read Playboy magazine with your wife turning the pages.

All I hear is B.S. (and I don't mean Baloney Sandwich).

143 Days Experience and he wants to be President?

Just how much national experience does Barack Obama have in terms of actual working days?

Not much.

The following is taken from a blog post by Cheri Jacobus at:http://www.gopusa.com/theloft/

"From the time Barack Obama was sworn in as a United States Senator, to the time he announced he was forming his presidential exploratory committee he acquired 143 days in the Senate. That's how many days the Senate was actually in session and working.

After 143 days of actual work experience, Obama believed he was ready to be Commander in Chief, to fill the shoes of Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln, FDR, JFK and Ronald Reagan."

"143 days...Jeepers, I've had stuff in my freezer for longer than that!"

"In contrast, Senator John McCain's 26 years in Congress, 22 years of military service including over 5 years as a guest of the North Vietnamese Communists as a Prisoner Of War at the Hanoi Hilton seem more impressive than ever."

"Why at 71, John McCain may be just hitting his peak."

Think about it.
Do you really know who Barack Obama is?
This man who would be King err...President?

Please take the time to read these quotes from Obama's books. These are his own words.

• From "Dreams of my Father": "I ceased to advertise my mother's race at the age of 12 or 13, when I began to suspect by doing so I was ingratiating myself to whites".
• From "Dreams of my Father": "I found solace in nursing a pervasive sense of grievance and animosity against my mother's race".
• "Dreams of my Father": It remained necessary to prove which side you were on, to show your loyalty to the black masses, to strike out and name names".
• Again, from "Dreams of my Father": "I never emulate white men and brown men whose fates didn't speak to my own. It was my father's image, the black man, son of Africa, that I'd packed all the attributes I sought in myself. The attributes of Martin and Malcolm, DuBois and Mandela".

And perhaps the the most disturbing of all:

• From "Audacity of Hope": "I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.

As much as I was against Hillary Clinton and her policies, I believe that she had, at least from her political point of view, the best interests of America in her poor, broken socialist heart.

I believe Barack Obama does not. I also believe Obama does not have the mentality of a person who should be elected as President of the United States.

As far as I'm concerned, his past does not pass the "smell test".

Something is rotten with Obama. We'll find out if we just keep peeling back his layers like an onion and I don't want to wait and see how bad it stinks up America.

Just because I love Cats...Big or Small

Should we drill ANWR? Why not?

We don't have to but we should.

We should have been doing lots of things for the past 30+ years to get rid of our foreign oil dependence. But we didn't. With either a Democrat or Republican president we did nothing. Now we're getting fucked.

It's all about the US Dollar. The buck is weak compared to other currencies. Oil gets traded in Dollars. Speculators are betting that the dollar will get weaker and the price of oil will go up so they bid on a price they want to lock into.

It's been said that if we drill ANWR now we won't see relief for maybe ten years. OK, maybe. But what it will do is relieve some of the pressure on the dollar so that speculation prices will start to lower to a reasonable amount.

You see, if it shows that we won't NEED as much foreign oil and therefore won't be BUYING as much, the price of oil on the world market will stabilize. The Saudi's, Venezuela and others that are squeezing our balls will see their shares drop so they'll have to accommodate to a reasonable pricing.

In the meantime instead of bitchin' that we've done nothing about alternative energy, we should be pushing both the short term plan (our own oil) and the long term goal of energy independence via alternative energy.

Now someone get me a drink and a Motrin please. I gotta headache from thinkin' about this shit that everyone yells and bitches about but doesn't want a real world, real life answer to.
Instead of that fantasy of instant "green" energy.

Hey Al Gore, do the rest of us a favor and at least try to live up to what you preach. Try and stay off the jet for a week, OK?

Now we are required by law to use Poisonous Lightbulbs?

This Global Warming Nonsense, when does it end?

Texas Representative Ted Poe has hit the nail right on it's head.

In the name of "saving the planet", liberal/socialists are forcing the use of mercury filled lightbulbs.

Yes, they do save energy but at what cost?
Are we going to be required to dispose of these as we do with our old paints and other household chemicals?
Are we going to be charged a fee/tax on the disposal?

And what about all the jobs lost by the companies who manufacture the old incandesant light bulbs? I know a good amount of them are made in other countries too but many are made here in America as well.

I'm not a scientist but from my own reading and research our Sun has a much more massive effect on the Earths atmosphere than anything man is doing now. Outside of an all out nuclear war poisoning our plantet, we are having little or no effect on the CO2 content of our atmosphere.

I've not seen any conclusive proof of this so-called man made global climate change. I put the Al Gores and the Hollywood "Elite" into the same category as the 9-11 Truth movement.

U.S. Supreme Court backs Guantanamo detainees. Why?

Three years ago, Adbullah Saleh al-Ajmi was safely locked away at Guantanamo Bay.

Two weeks ago, he blew himself up in Iraq, brutally murdering seven people.

How did he get out of his prison cell at Gitmo? Easy. His U.S.-based lawyers walked him out the front door!

That despite strong arguments from U.S. counterterrorism analysts arguing that al-Ajmi should under no circumstances be freed since...

-He deserted from the Kuwaiti army to participate in jihad in Afghanistan
-The Taliban supplied him with arms, including grenades
-He admitted fighting with the Taliban, including engaging in two or three firefights
-He was captured by coalition forces in the Tora Bora region, an area thought to be a hideout of Osama bin Laden
-Upon his arrival at Gitmo, he demonstrated "aggressive" behavior
-And based on a review of classified and unclassified documents, al-Ajmi was declared a threat to the U.S. and its allies.

But after Al-Ajmi's lawyers denied all the charges, the U.S. government folded and sent him back home to Kuwait.

Of course, now his family refers to him as "The Martyr Abdullah".

Nevertheless, the international community is clamoring for us to close down Gitmo, Senators Obama, Clinton and McCain are all desperate for us to close Gitmo, and even President Bush wants to see Gitmo closed.

And it looks like they're going to get their wish. Just this week, the U.S. released three MORE Guantanamo detainees, including Sami al-Haj, a suspected courier for Al Qaeda.

Terrifying? Oh yes. Surprising? Sadly, no.

God Bless America.

Thomas Paine said the following words and there is no better time to remember them but now:

"These are the times that try men's souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman."

"Arms discourage and keep the invader and plunderer in awe, and preserve order in the world as well as property... Horrid mischief would ensue were the law-abiding deprived of the use of them.”

"What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly; it is dearness only that gives everything its value."

"When men yield up the privilege of thinking, the last shadow of liberty quits the horizon."

A lot of things are being thrown at Americans now and more are coming in the following weeks preceding the National Election. There are groups of people who would have America give up it's sovereignty to the U.N. and other world bodies. We must not allow this to happen.

We hear daily from the media all the bad news about this country. Today there was a "major" report that employment (new jobs) have fallen over the previous months. But next week, if you listen hard, there will be a report that new hires have risen over last month.

Just remember to try and keep things in perspective.

Things are not as bad as you are led to believe.

Is Obama a "Post Turtle"?

While stitching a cut on the hand of a 75 year old Texas rancher, whose hand was caught in a gate while working cattle, the doctor struck up a conversation with the old man. Eventually the topic got around to Obama and his bid to be our President.

The old rancher said, 'Well, ya know, Obama is a 'post turtle'.

Not being familiar with the term, the doctor asked him what a 'post turtle' was.

The old rancher said, 'When you're driving down a country road and you come across a fence post with a turtle balanced on top, that's a 'post turtle'.'

The old rancher saw a puzzled look on the doctor's face, so he continued to explain. 'You know he didn't get up there by himself, he doesn't belong up there, he doesn't know what to do while he is up there, and you just wonder what kind of a dumb ass put him up there to begin with.'


Just who did put Barrack Hussein Obama in the position he's found himself?
I'm not a PC type of guy so I'll give you my opinion whether you'll agree or be offended.

I'm thinking it was the George Soros and MoveOn.org crowd. Or maybe it was some of his racist socialist friends like Reverend Wright and his former church buddies. It could be any of the "Blame America First" acolytes.

All I know is that for all the apprehension I felt with the fact that Hillary Clinton could have been elected, I feel downright fear at the possibility of a President Obama. At least with Clinton I had the feeling that she had a very firm idea of what she was getting into.

With Obama, I don't think he's got a clue.

That's what scares me the most.

Obama’s Global Poverty Act. Is he kidding?

A nice-sounding bill called the "Global Poverty Act," sponsored by Democratic presidential candidate and Senator Barack Obama, is up for a Senate vote on Thursday and could result in the imposition of a global tax on the United States. The bill, which has the support of many liberal religious groups, makes levels of U.S. foreign aid spending subservient to the dictates of the United Nations.

Senator Joe Biden, chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, has not endorsed either Senator Barack Obama or Hillary Clinton in the presidential race. But on Thursday, February 14, he is trying to rush Obama's "Global Poverty Act" (S.2433) through his committee. The legislation would commit the U.S. to spending 0.7 percent of gross national product on foreign aid, which amounts to a phenomenal 13-year total of $845 billion over and above what the U.S. already spends.

It appears the Senate version is being pushed not only by Biden and Obama, a member of the committee, but Richard Lugar, the ranking Republican member.

I have to ask, when has the burden on ending global poverty been America's responsibility?

How can Obama be serious about putting a greater tax burden on the American people for foreign aid when by his own accounts there is so much to be done about poverty here in the United States?

As Americans we are well known for our generosity. We are consistently the first ones to arrive when there are world disasters. We give with our money, sweat and blood. We give to charity even when things are looking down. We give even though our own situation my not be the best. We do it because it's the right thing to do, to help people less fortunate is not required, it is the morally decent thing to do. We don't look for pats on the back and "atta boys", it just gets done because it's right.

Now when Barrack Obama says he wants to put an extra tax burden on American citizens to the tune of $8,500 per household, we have to say "Whoa, hold your horses". There's so much to be done here in our country first.

To take from our citizens at a time when the doomsayers are shouting "recession and depression" cannot happen.

Especially if the United Nations in the going to be the banker, the organization that doles out these funds. We all saw how well the U.N.'s Oil for Food program worked. The top dawgs in the U.N. got rich off of that

Memorial Day 2008

As General H. Norman Schwarzkopf observed:

"It doesn't take a hero to order men into battle. It takes a hero to be one of those men who goes into battle".

President Bush's Knesset Speech.

"There are good and decent people who cannot fathom the darkness in these men and try to explain away their words. It's natural, but it is deadly wrong. As witnesses to evil in the past, we carry a solemn responsibility to take these words seriously. Jews and Americans have seen the consequences of disregarding the words of leaders who espouse hatred. And that is a mistake the world must not repeat in the 21st century.

Some seem to believe that we should negotiate with the terrorists and radicals, as if some ingenious argument will persuade them they have been wrong all along. We have heard this foolish delusion before. As Nazi tanks crossed into Poland in 1939, an American senator declared: "Lord, if I could only have talked to Hitler, all this might have been avoided." We have an obligation to call this what it is -- the false comfort of appeasement, which has been repeatedly discredited by history." (excerpt from President Bush's Knesset speech, May 15, 2008)

It's funny how so many are coming forward and calling his speech a disgrace - calling it an insult to Jews and to Israel itself.

It's funny that some of you are saying this despite the fact that he received a standing ovation after giving that speech!

And it's very funny how Senator Barack Obama calls the speech "a disgraceful attack on me and my campaign" He then says, "I never said I would sit down and talk with our enemies" Well, if you never said it, how is President Bush's speech an attack on you?

Bush reaffirmed to Israel that the America will continue to support her and not give in to the demands of terrorists. He was applauded for this by the very people you all claim were offended.

When have Israel's enemies - Hezbollah, Hamas, the PLO, and Al-Qaeda ever asked for talks to resolve the situation? When have these groups ever said, "Look, we think it's unfair and we would like to work out a diplomatic solution"? NEVER! Instead, they brainwash their followers into believing suicide bombing is the way to salvation.

President Bush was right in this speech. Our enemy can be compared to Hitler. He never tried to negotiate either - he just sent his troops out wherever he wanted a piece of land.

Those who think our enemies now are any different are incredibly foolish. I am sure if Bin Laden, instead of financing terrorist attacks, instead used his wealth and influence to seek diplomatic solutions, the America would have been happy to sit down with him. But that's not how people like Bin Laden operate.

The Bin Laden's of this world don't want anything but to see us dead, enslaved or assimilated into Islam.

Remember that line in the movie "Independence Day". When President Whitmore asks the captured alien "What do you want us to do?" the alien replies "Die, Die!". I view radical Islam as an alien culture and that line is dead on with their attitude towards Western Civilization.

So Senator Obama, I ask you, do you think you can change their minds?

Remember the Election in 2006?

They were telling all who would listen that they would clean up Washington. They said that we are on the wrong path. Trust us, they said. We'll fix all that ails our country.

Just return us to our rightful place as leaders of America.

In less than two years. Remember the election in 2006?

Let's consider the following that has taken place since:

Less than two years ago:
1) Consumer confidence stood at a 2 1/2 year high;
2) Regular gasoline sold for $2.19 a gallon;
3) The unemployment rate was 4.5%.

Since voting in a Democratic Congress in 2006 we have seen:
1) Consumer confidence plummet;
2) The cost of regular gasoline soar to over $3.50 a gallon;
3) Unemployment is up to 5% (a 10% increase);
4) American households have seen $2.3 trillion in equity value evaporate (stock and mutual fund losses);
5) Americans have seen their home equity drop by $1.2 trillion dollars;
6) 1% of American homes are in foreclosure..

America voted for change in 2006, and we got it!

Remember it is Congress that makes law not the President. He has to work with what's handed to him.

And this Democratic Congress has been sitting on it's collective thumbs rotating while they blame it all on the current administration.

A liberal is a person who will give away everything he doesn't don't own.

The L.A Times...All the Crap that's fit to print!

The L.A. Times in all its "wisdom" has decided that because Presidential Candidate John McCain is receiving a disability pension for the U.S. Navy that he may not be "fit" to serve a President.

And in a further insult to a man who was tortured for his country as a prisoner of war in North Vietnam, they question the pension's tax-free status.

As a POW, Lt. Commander John S. McCain was badly wounded, his captors refused to treat his injuries, instead torturing and interrogating him to gain information. Only when the North Vietnamese discovered that his father was a top admiral did they give him medical care. McCain spent six weeks in the Hoa Loa hospital, receiving marginal care. McCain was sent to a different camp on the outskirts of Hanoi in December 1967, into a cell with two other Americans who did not expect him to live a week. In March 1968, McCain was put into solitary confinement, where he would remain for two years.

In July 1968, McCain's father was named commander of all U.S. forces in the Vietnam Theater. McCain was immediately offered early release. The North Vietnamese wanted a worldwide propaganda coup by appearing merciful, and also wanted to show other POWs that elites like McCain were willing to be treated preferentially. McCain turned down the offer of repatriation; he would only accept the offer if every man taken in before him was released as well.

In August of 1968, a program of severe torture began on McCain, at the same time as he was suffering from dysentery and McCain made an anti-American propaganda "confession". He has always felt that his statement was dishonorable, but as he would later write, "I had learned what we all learned over there: Every man has his breaking point. I had reached mine. "His injuries left him permanently incapable of raising his arms above his head. He subsequently received two to three beatings per week because of his continued refusal to sign additional statements. Other American POWs were similarly tortured and maltreated in order to extract "confessions" and propaganda statements, with many enduring even worse treatment than McCain.

This is a man who has endured, survived, accomplished and excelled despite his wartime injuries. For the "Socialist" L.A. Times to infer that Senator McCain is not fit to be President is an insult to all who've served this country. Would this paper have ever dared to make the same claim of President Franklin D, Roosevelt back in the '30s and '40s? Would this "newspaper" ever have the balls to publish photos or print stories of FDR in his wheelchair or his struggling to stand upright with his crutches? I doubt it.

Boston vs Montreal - Game 7

Do we dare to think that these Bruins will win tonight in Montreal?

We Shall See!

Mrs. Clinton, a Gun Totin' Church goer? Nah!

She described herself as a pro-gun churchgoer, recalling that her father taught her how to shoot a gun when she was a young girl and said that her faith “is the faith of my parents and my grandparents.”

Just when I think I've heard it all from Mrs. Clinton, she suddenly claims she relates to Gun Owners and Church going people. Did she all of a sudden have this revelation that maybe, just maybe the authors of our Constitution had it right, that the Second Amendment guarantees the private ownership of guns by it's citizens? And never seen much in a way of public religious conversation on her part either.

Ok, since religion is in my opinion a private matter, I'll be kind enough to leave that between Mrs. Clinton and her higher power as she may see it. So let's just see a couple of items regarding Hillary's public record on gun ownership.

First let's read the 2nd Amendment to the US Constitution: A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.

In 1998 she agreed in principle to treating gun manufacturers in the same way that government went after Big Tobacco. The thought was that initiating class action suits against gun manufacturers would cripple the industry in such a way that they would no longer sell to private citizens. Good idea. Let's put more honest, hardworking Americans out of work. The poor criminals will now have to get their weapons from the black market. Oh, wait. Isn't that where they get them now?

The time was September of 2000. Hillary is quoted as saying: "We have to keep guns away from people who shouldn't have them". Wow, what a genius! No one ever thought of that before. Law abiding citizens should not be barred from owning firearms...Period!

I would like to see a picture, if one existed, of Mrs. Clinton holding a weapon. I think it might be in the nature of her posing with some of those Black Panthers that she defended back in the late '60s.

Maybe she sported an Afro while brandishing a sawed off Remington.

Absolut Mexico? No - Absolut-ly Wrong!

A new advertising campaign by Swedish vodka maker Absolut shows a North American map as it appeared before the Mexican-American war of 1848 where after the United States annexed what is now the southwestern states.

Are they serious? Did some ad exec come up with this idea after consuming vast quantities of the product? Or is it some open borders proponent's geopolitical fantasy?

This goes to show how multi-national companies are starting to view America. They must feel that our time is upon us to be showing this kind of disdain for our nation. Or are they just pandering to the illegals in America to gain a larger market share?

What next? Is Absolut going to advertise a map of the USA showing the Confederate States of America in the south?

I think I'd Trust the Original Stooges More!

I know it's April 1st, but seriously, is this the best we can do?

Dith Pran (1942 - 2008) Survivor of the Cambodian Holocaust.

Human history has been spotted by bloody holocausts. Dith Pran survived one of the bloodiest holocaust in human history, the Cambodian Holocaust by the Communist Khmer Rouge in late half of 1970s. Under the Maoist leadership led by Pot Pot, 1.7 million people out of 7.9 million population were perished.

Holocaust left victims and survivors. A brave survivor sprang up in his voice to awake the rest of the world to recognize the tragedy. Pran's story was portrayed by the Academy award winning movie, The Killing Fields. Now he has his own voice as, "Part of my life is saving life. I don't consider myself a politician or a hero. I'm a messenger. If Cambodia is to survive, she needs many voices."

Pran was born on September 27, 1942, in Angkor Wath, famous historic site with the Buddhist temple. He worked for the tourist business until the civil war spread across the border with Vietnam. He changed his career as a war correspondent to make a team with Sydney Schanberg, then a New York Time correspondent. They covered the Cambodian civil war from 1972 to 1975.

The overturn by the communist Khmer Rouge on April 12, 1975 changed Pran's destiny forever. The U.S. supported Ron Noll's government fell into the hand of Maoist leader Pot Pot. On the day, Pran and Schanberg still covered the fall of the capital, Phnom Penh.

It did not take long for them to be arrested by Khmer Rouge, the anti-American guerillas. The young guerillas put guns to their heads for instant execution. "They are French journalists!" Dith shouted. "They are here to write about your great victory." He talked non-stop attempting to persuade the guerillas to release them. When they were set free, they rushed into the French embassy. Later Schanberg was expelled from Cambodia and Pran headed toward his hometown disguising himself as a taxi-driver. Pran heard that his wife and children successfully escaped out of the country with foreigners.

The philosophy of the Khmer Rouge, symbolized by the word of 'Angka,' was to return the Cambodian society to a primitive community. All towns and cities were emptied and all hospitals and schools were closed. They propagated their philosophy as "Angka is taking us back to year zero."

Dith Pran was located at one of labor camps where he worked as a cook for blacksmiths. Desperate for food, he crept into the rice field and grabbed a handful of grain. However, he was captured by guards, half of whom were teenage girls. They beat him with butt-ends bamboo sticks. Fortunately he was released after a night on his knees with his arms and legs bound together.

North Vietnamese invaded Cambodia in December 1978. The Vietnamese troops captured Phnom Penh the following year. Dith came back to his hometown only to discover that his father had starved to death in 1975, the Khmer Rouge executed his three brothers and his sister was murdered with her husband and two children.

Pran crossed the jungle seeded with land mines to refugee camp in Thailand border leaving his country behind. Sydney Schanberg, the New York Times journalist, took the first flight to Thailand just after hearing Pran's survival. On first seeing Sydney at the refugee camp, Dith told with almost a fainted voice, "You must write it."

In 1976, Schanberg was awarded by Pulitzer Prize for his coverage of Cambodia civil war. He accepted the Prize with the name of Dith Pran. Finally Pran flew over to the U.S. and reunited with his family. Since 1980 he has worked as a photojournalist for the New York Times.

Sydney wrote a moving story titled "The Death and Life of Dith Pran" for the New York Times Magazine in January 1980. This story was recreated into the movie, "The Killing Fields."

Dith Pran, dead today at age 65.
