Politically, I'm
a Centrist, I have no party affiliation.
The answer to a Secure, prosperous for ALL, No one left behind in health,
education and opportunity Nation does not rest with any one party, but good
sound National interest ideas from ALL parties. The dilemma in a
Democratic Society is to bring those ideas forward past all the rhetoric, power
plays and self interest. And often they take a back seat in priority, sad
to say... Extremism in any Party has never helped this nation to grow
other than to scare people back toward center. CENTRISTS espouse a "middle ground" regarding
government control of the economy and personal
behavior. Depending on the issue, they sometimes favor
government intervention and sometimes support individual
freedom of choice. Centrists pride themselves on keeping
an open mind, tend to oppose "political extremes,"
and emphasize
what they describe as "practical"
solutions to problems.
Those who would give up Liberties for Safety
will in the End Loose Both.

May 1st demonstrations by illegals
may have had an unintended outcome. They have woke many Citizens up
as to the illegal invasion that has been allowed to take place by inaction of
elected officials. We gave 3 million amnesty in the 80s, now officials
want to do it again for 20 million. Last time they promised to fully fund
closing the border to illegals, they didn't, now they promise the same
thing. Ya right. Times up for elected officials, stop representing
foreign citizens and start representing the US citizens that elected
you. I can not believe they hold National Security (Border Security)
Hostage to get Amnesty for an Army of 20 million illegal foreign nationals
occupying our land. But that is exactly what they are doing with
these Amnesty bills..
Theodore Roosevelt's ideas on Immigrants and being an AMERICAN in 1907.
"In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the person's becoming in every facet an American, and nothing but an American...There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag... We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language... and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people"
Theodore Roosevelt 1907
Anyone who opposes an open border policy or are against Amnesty are labeled as a RACIST by illegal alien invaders and the Liberals who support
their goals. Check out these quotes:La Raza's Political Strategy wrote on October 10, 2006 7:41 AM:
"'We call things racism just to get attention. We reduce complicated
problems to racism, not because it is racism, but because it works.'
--- Alfredo Gutierrez, political consultant, as quoted by Richard de
Uriarte, The Phoenix Gazette, March 14, 1992 (quoted in The ProEnglish
Advocate, 1st quarter, 2002)."
Senator Lindsay Graham of South Carolina has said it most bluntly,“We’re gonna tell the BIGOTS to SHUT UP”!
Graham was speaking in front of La Raza, a group that openly collaborates with MEChA, RADICAL- RACIST Chicano extremist political organizations that
actively seek the removal of all “white Europeans” from the western U.S.
"We hope that the voices of hatred and bigotry will silence themselves for this debate..."
Sen. Kennedy
Isn't it telling that Liberals believe in free speech as long as it is liberal in its content.
Look at Our Colleges for the proof, supposedly the one place you would think free speech
would reign, not so at most colleges where a conservative view is met with ridicule and even violence. Look to Liberals trumped up attacks against Conservative political commentators in
our media. Look to Liberal politicians who attack these same commentators on the floors of Congress using smear tactics and false accusations that are known to be lies.I don't see what is racist or bigotry to demand that immigration laws be enforced, I don't see what is racist or bigotry to demand that laws against hiring illegal workers be enforced, I don't see what is racist or bigotry to demand that politicians live up to their oath of office to defend this land and the Constitution from foreign invasion. What else can you call millions upon millions who illegally infiltrate a country to reap what they can from it? I call that an INVASION..
If they call me a Bigot or racist so be it, they are TRAITORS in my book...

Just for the record..
Mexico has and is pushing for our open border with them, they criticize any attempt on our part to control who comes to America.
YET, Mexico fully secures it's southern border, deporting any illegals crossing from Central America.
Mexico has a NATIONAL ID CARD SYSTEM
Spanish is their official National Language, if you wish to live in Mexico, you are required by law to learn the language.
You also need to bring a Criminal background check from your Police agency in your country.
You must show that you because of health will not become a burden to Mexico's health care system.
Mexican law requires local police agencies to work with Federal Police including identifying illegal aliens.
(In Mexico the Police and Military regularly check peoples ID who are using public transportation.)
Mexican law requires that citizens report illegal activity or possible illegal status and if needed make citizens arrest.
Visitors to Mexico are forbidden by law to engage in ANY political activities of their nation.
They even have laws and rights to limit immigration of specific races and nationalities into Mexico as to prevent the breakdown of their cultural identity.How dare they criticize us for protecting Americas borders.
America has sent our troops to foreign lands for decades to secure their borders, IE S.Korea, Germany to name a couple. I will not accept the excuse from our politicians that we cannot use troops to secure our own borders because it is not politically correct to do so. Our Federal Government has a Constitutional obligation to protect the citizens of this country from a foreign invasion. This invasion is illegal aliens crossing our borders by the millions, stealing our Social Service funds ear marked for citizens. Stealing Jobs from citizens. Influencing our political system by organized support of politicians favorable to their goals, ( which would not be allowed to happen in Mexico by non citizens ). Driving up both Auto and Health Insurance cost. Being a recruiting pool for Gangs in this country that help to bring in and distribute illegal drugs. Killing 7 to 9 Thousand US Citizens per Year in car accidents and murders not to mention those raped, robed and beaten and often left with permanent mental and physical injuries. This has caused more death and injury than if you totaled all killed or hurt in the 9-11 attack and in Iraq and Afghanistan added together to date. Add up 7 thousand deaths per year sense the 9-11 attack, you will find that this invading army of illegals have done a far better job of hurting us both in deaths and injuries than the Islamic terrorist.

The New World Order (NWO) An Overview
If the above is true then all the moves to a borderless North America and accepting illegals
make sense in this grand scheme of things.
Port facilities owned and operated by foreign companies, No, no, no, I am not just against an Arabic Company but ANY foreign Company owning or running facilities at any port, airport, communications grid, power grid, or any vital service that could be a National Security threat within the United States. If they want to build cars, motorcycles, furniture, open hotels, motels, ski lodge and the like, thats OK. I was surprised when this news broke that so many of our port facilities on the west coast are being run by foreign powers including China. These deals have been done I believe behind closed doors and are selling our security down the drain for someones profit. I believe we need to require that any sales of these foreign operated port facilities have to sell back to a US Company. So Britain in this case could not sell to an Arabic Company but would be forced to sell back to US Company. What's happen to our US Companies, don't they believe in investing in America anymore. The rich are selling America right out from under us. Anything for a Buck. Write your representatives, keep them mindful of their responsibilities.
"Right to Risk" I saw a young neighbor boy exit his home wearing a helmet, chest guard, elbow guards, gloves, knee pads and boots half way up to his knees. He waddled over to his little bicycle that was laying on the ground, he had some difficulty bending over to retrieve it. Once on the bike he wobbled off down the street. That's when I noted the mother in the door of the house with her hand to her mouth, fear all over her face as she watched her son ride off. I had to chuckle, I imagined her running for her purse to go buy some more safety equipment for her son... Golly Gease Ma do I have to wear that?
What happened to running out the door in shorts and tennis shoes, no shirt, gloves etc, etc, etc and jumping on your old 26 inch single speed bike with the playing cards still clothes pinned to the fender struts to give ya that varooom sound of power? Sure, we fell down and scraped up knees, hands, heads. We had helmets back then. They were invented back then. Jet pilots wore em, race car drivers wore em, football players wore em but if we asked for one our parents would have demanded why we needed one, ah, to ride my bike Mom, can't you just hear her, "Get outta here and go play, you don't need a helmet for that!".
Anyway, I think we have cut off part of life, the "Right to Risk". I believe mainly do to pressure from Insurance Companies who want to cut their risk of having to pay out for injuries. They have, along with the overall phobia of fear prevalent now days, driven us like lemmings to buy safety stuff, and if we bulk, they lobby for a law to force safety stuff on us..
Stop and think for a moment how far this has gone. Even airlines know they will have crashes, the FAA knows crashes will occur, yet the FAA and the Airline industry will not fix or change procedures until that risk crosses a certain risk threshold. Like wise you have a higher risk of getting hit by a car in a crosswalk than when you stay on sidewalks. You do not however, cover yourself with portable airbags prior to using a crosswalk. At least not until the risk of being hit in a crosswalk rises to the point that you know steps need to be taken to protect oneself from this increased risk. Now apply this to bicycles etc. Has the risk of riding a bike risen that much sense the 60s and 70s? We had cars back then too. We rode on the same streets with cars. The distance to the ground from the riding position is about the same.
Cars have gotten safer with crush zones, built in cage systems etc. yet more and more laws are being passed. Washington state now requires any child under 4ft 9 inches to be in a jump seat, pretty big jump seat. It will not be long before helmets will be required to ride in a car. Car occupants die from head injuries too you know, so sooner or later we will be forced to wear helmets in cars. Think that's funny. Motorcycle riders thought so too. A Motorcycle rider know a helmet is not much help on high speed crashes, kinda like a sky diver wearing a helmet, what's it going to do if ya hit the ground a 120 mph terminal velocity? His body is mush but damn his heads intact! We can no longer celebrate the 4th of July as in my fathers day. No more firecrackers etc, etc. Just stinky smoke bombs. And I'm sure they will be illuminated do to air pollution. We claim to be free, but China and other countries can celebrate with firecrackers. We ain't smart enough to handle em so we outlaw em. How many freedoms are we going to give away to stay safe? My point is that life is nothing but a risk. It is certain you will die from something. Where do we draw the line? Are we to set in a germ free room, feed only the approved sanitary diet. access the world from a laptop computer and never leave the room for fear of injury or death? The question is how much of the risk do you want to eliminate and at what point does life preservation out weigh living?
The government is like a dog, if you don't pay attention to what it's doing, you know it will be up to no good...
Gay marriage, boy if that isn't a oxymoron,
seriously, all puns aside. The only civil need it fulfills is legal stuff
for medical permissions and property stuff and I would guess it makes same
sex couples feel legitimized by being Married just like their folks
were..
Marriage was invented by MAN so that he could be assured (as much
as possible anyway) that any offspring from his union with a female wife would
be his and that his name and property would go to his offspring, not someone
Else's.. Marriage is recognized for this reason around the world,
across religious beliefs, and tribal customs.. Sense a same sex
union cannot have a biological offspring there is no need to worry about blood
line assurances.. Marriage has always been seen as a special ceremony
between a Man and Woman.. Another ceremony can be instituted for same sex
unions that could legally give medical and inheritance rights one to another
rather than forcing the heterosexual world give up their Marriage Ceremony for
homosexual use because they are to lazy to institute a ceremony fitting their
homosexual circumstances. Let the "Marriage" Ceremony represent the
union of heterosexuals and lets say a "Uniting" Ceremony represent the union of
homosexuals. The ceremony of Marriage was never in history meant for
showing society the union of same sex
partners.
Abortion, second mistake in order to cover
first mistake... Use birth control. Abortion should be only in case of
incest, rape, health issues... But I favor its remaining available, I
would just urge people to be more responsible in their lives. Watch
a live abortion on " You Tube.com".
Then ingage your brain before putting a
new life in jeopordy of this horrific
ending.
Taxes and Gun Control, governments means of absolute control if left unchecked...
We need to abolish the
IRS.. It is a system based on fear.. It collects information on all
working Citizens... It forecloses on properties often worked
lifetimes to gain to pay back taxes with exorbitant penalties. This is the
Ugly side of our Government, let's get rid of it...
Replace it with a NATIONAL SALES TAX... Everyone pays, Citizen, Visitor, Cooperations, Everybody... No paperwork to save for years in anticipation of an IRS audit. No Fluctuations in the Tax code or Tax rates depending whether the Democrats or Republicans are in office. It would remain the same. Tax increases would be left to the Voter During a National Election, NOT THE POLITICIANS....
Check it out here and help do away with April 15th.
Gun Control
Never give up rights already fought for and won!
Many have shed blood
to secure them.
http://www.ojp.usdoj.gov/bjs/guns.htm
Make stricter laws on PEOPLE who use
"things" to threaten others in the commission of a Crime, No matter what
the "thing" is, knife, hammer, chainsaw, bat, screwdriver, gun, whatever....and
let the law abiding citizen use these "things" without ownership
restrictions.
Gun control is not, nor ever has been the answer, as many
disarmed groups have learned around the world. Tough laws against use
of a weapon in the commission of a crime, and an armed citizenry who refuses to
be victimized is and has always proven to be the answer to crime and
governmental abuse.
"Firearms
stand next in importance to the Constitution itself. They are the people's
liberty teeth keystone... the rifle and the pistol are equally
indispensable... more
than 99% of them by their silence indicate that they are in safe and sane
hands. The very
atmosphere of firearms everywhere restrains evil interference. When firearms go,
all goes, we need them every
hour." George Washington (Address to 1st
session of Congress)

How I feel about Anti-Gun Advocates
Prayer in school, you bet, still goes on
too, just ask any kid if they don't pray that they passed a test...
All jokes aside, giving time in school to pray is not unconstitutional,
it is unconstitutional to stop prayer in school.
As long as no one is
coerced into praying or told in what manner to pray or who to pray to,
prayer is constitutional in school.
Government is forbidden from
sanctioning the practice of any one religion over others.
It is forbidden for
Government to stop the practice of any religion or its festivals or
observances
unless in so doing it breaks other laws like murder, poligamy,
Child abuse etc.
It is against the law for Government to forbid public
display of religious symbols or reference material.
It is against the law for
Government to squelch all religions references except those which uphold the
atheistic view.
The atheistic view is just a belief just like any other
religion...
There are some ultra liberals out there who would and are
twisting the seperation of church and state to fit their own atheistic
goals.
Get some background on the move to convert America to the religion of
Atheism ( HERE
)
Take "God We Trust" off of government currency? Take God out of The Pledge of Allegiance? Get rid of Prayer in schools? No religious symbols on any public property? No government approved religious holidays? Is this what Stalin did in Russia? And this IS what Ultra-Liberals want !! No thank you, I will stick with what this country was founded on, thank you very much..
"We hold these
truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal,
that they are
endowed by their Creator with certain
unalienable Rights,
that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of
Happiness.
That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among
Men,
deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed
....."
Our country, unlike most including
Liberal France, recognizes mans rights as coming
from a Higher Power not
the State. Knowing that a government could abuse
its citizens in
their choice of religion our forefathers built in provisions that
protected us.
In short our forefathers wanted to protect us from a Religion based Government that dictated to its citizenry, what religion to practice, when to worship, how to worship and greatly make your life miserable if you didn't go along with it.
The safeguards were to stop the government from exalting one religion over another and allow the freedom to not practice any religion if so desired. And giving no consequences to its citizenry for what ever choice they make.
The government was never charged
with doing away with any references in our society to religion or the holidays
religion brings. All the current religious references Ultra Liberals want to do
away with now were present at the start of our nation, if its practice
then did not conform to what the founding fathers envisioned for this nation,
why did they not abolish these practices back then? I think
Ultra Liberals are attempting to tear the soul out of this country in order to
move it to a Communist type state where all rights are granted to man by the
STATE not a Higher Power. Any homage given will be to the STATE not
a creator.
Don't be fooled
and don't let it happen.. These zealots which are a minority are
attempting to dictate to the majority. They often use the come on of
being OFFENDED by prayer, religious figures during holidays etc. I'm
sorry but NO American in the USA has a RIGHT NOT TO BE
OFFENDED.
If so it offends me that Liberal Athiest would
deny my right to pray any damn place I want and dictate that Government property
cannot be a place of prayer to ones personal GOD or that Government Employees or
officials cannot set aside a time for prayer to ones GOD.
AS
LONG AS NO ONE is forced to pray, no God is exalted above another, no
consequences are inflected for praying or not praying then there is no violation
of separation of Church and State as set forth in the
Constitution...
Political Correctness, Hold On, This is still a free Country, with free speech.. And NOWHERE is it written that we have a right NOT to be offended. Leave, turn around, shut it off, quit looking.. I'm short and fat. If saying that, offends someone, they don't have the right to make me say I'm vertically challenged and horizontally rich. This is a free country, period. And it will only be as free as we allow it to be, so beware on making laws. Just remember the use of your freedom in some aspect in your life may offend someone and they may move to stop you from enjoying your freedom. Remember what goes around comes around !!
Do we have so much time on our hands that this is all we can find to work on, "Political Correctness"? We've got allot worse problems in this world to concern ourselves with than worrying about being offended....
"Political
Correctness.
Political Correctness is a doctrine fostered by a
delusional, illogical liberal minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous
mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible
to pick up a turd by the clean end." Rudy - W7FCB
Isn't it odd that being politically correct often means giving up your individualism so that you can join everyone in lock step to the dictates of Correctnoids who mandate what is politically correct for the moment.. An ish be a good little Correctnoid, yah...
Liberals want you to do as they say not as they do,
they make

Marriage, The Ultimate Partnership. Needs constant God
given direction and work...
It's sad that a lot of people see Marriage as the end result of the
dating process. Rather than just the beginning of a life long
commitment
that will not always be smooth and as one would have it.
Stress and other factors if dealt with by just one marital partner is a
prescription for disaster as it will manifest into blaming the other sooner or
later. Marriage is the ultimate partnership where vows are taken for
life long commitments.
If one thinks Marriage is the Climax of the romance,
boy are you in for a wide awakening, life goes on after marriage, believe that
or not.
Political Parties, Excuse not to work
together for the common good, using the best information available...
Each
party can only see the direction they want to go in, because of
their fighting and maneuvering to get the upper hand,
neither party
can see the direction the nation is going in,
to H**L.
And I love it when the Liberals and Conservatives fight because hopefully people will wise up to the stagnation of these two parties that have held power for so long and start thinking INDEPENDENTLY and join an Independent party. The two old boy parties are so welded to market tested, pole driven, interaction with the public that free thinking spontaneous problem solving thoughts are stifled and discouraged. Stagnation sets in, and thats where we are today, two parties who repeat the same mantras over and over with no new problem solving solutions to offer.
( Wouldn't it be cool if a Political party stopped spending all that money on taking poles and stuff to find out what we want to hear just to get elected but instead spent the money on researching solutions to current problems and offering their plans based on good info just learned on solving the problem whether we like it or not. In other words, have a cool party that doesn't tell us what we want to hear but what we need to know.)
It's time we get back to a
grass roots party who despite poles and tested slogans will tell us the truth
and lead us by looking at all remedies to problems. Making decisions based
on whats good for the country overall and not based on the good it does for
re-elections or on personal gains. The party should be looking at the
large gap between those who have and those who have not and work to shrink this
gap. They can do this by favoring the middle class who pays most of the
taxes yet gets little of the benifits. Legislation should be such as to
inable more low income people to join the middle class.
As it is now, it
seems that Politicians are doing everything they can to shrink the middle class,
add to the coffers of the Rich and place the low income people into servitude to
them.
Service men and woman, I still believe, That we of so many owe so much to so few. Honor Their Service to us....We may not agree with any war we are involved with thats our right ( bought with the blood of service people) but go after politicians not the troops.
We may protest in public in front of news cameras and become famous getting ourselves arrested and spending a night in jail. And the enemy will love us too. We have given them an already made propaganda tape that they can show to their troops and supporters, which will undoubtedly bolster their resolve to fight and kill more of our troops.
And I'm sure our troops upon seeing the protest will feel well supported also..
The time to protest a war is BEFORE we get involved in one..
Once in a war, FIGHT TO WIN IT... Our troops are, with their lives.. How are we contributing to the their success, or failure?.
Soap box time---Don't get me wrong, we have all the "rights" in this country to protest the war. All I'm saying is that our children are in harms way, history is in the making, it may have been wrong to invade, the majority of us citizens were in favor at the time.. Our troops followed orders and invaded Iraq at our command thru our representatives. WE ARE IN A WAR, now is not the time for quibbling over who did what, If we pull the troops out now we maybe creating and even bigger war situation later that we would really regret. We need to focus on supporting our troops. That does mean more than just thanking them, it means full WAR TIME support, we need to help recruit more troops into service to support and relieve those already in combat. We need to overwhelm the enemy with superior forces, this will help to protect the troops. This is ALL OUT WAR, our troops need All OUT WAR SUPPORT and nothing less. Success in war depends not only on the troops but ALSO the home-fronts willingness to fully back them with what they need to WIN....
After the war, is when to go after those that may have lied to get us involved, if thats what is shown to have happened..

Health Insurance, JOKE, I'm not laughing, let me sidestep a minute. Ya know no political system is perfect including Capitalism. Having said that, I believe we do need to move to socialized medicine like Canada, where no one is left out. I believe with socialized medicine job availability would increase as employers would no longer have to pay exorbitant health insurance cost.
Every time someone brings up Socialized Medicine the Right Wing goes into meltdown. Names used in describing anyone subscribing to the thought of Socialized Medicine include Pinko, Communist and 5th Columnist. And the Insurance Companies loose their most recent meal at the thought, sending their lobbyist into overtime.
In short capitalism in the medical insurance field HAS GONE NUTS, and is hurting the people, FOR WHAT, to line the pockets of a few.
Right-wing say Socialized Medicine would cost to
much in taxes, Wake up people, what does your medical
insurance cost per month to cover your family, $400, $500, $600. How much
of this is just to line someones pocket? It does not take a rocket
scientist to see that this isn't working, insurance companies are making a HUGE
profit or they would not fight so hard to keep the goose on the nest.
Face
it, our Medical system is broke in many ways, it is not a open free market as
the Right Wing would have you believe. 45 million and growing number of
U.S. Citizens can no longer afford Health Care Insurance or Medical
Services...

Medical discoveries ; just a thought here, how profitable is it to the medical field NOT to discover a cure for Cancer and many other diseases. Do you think the medical establishment (AMA)would ever suppress a treatment for cancer in order to keep the monies rolling in.
Go to Google search Page and type in "Hoxsey Treatment",
Read all you can find on this treatment . Go ahead and read all the negative stuff but keep looking and you will find out what really happened.
It's out of print now but try to find a book titled " You don't have to Die" by Harry Hoxsey, Milestone Books (New York), 1956. In this book he gives a history of the development of his treatments and the difficulties with the established Medical institutions.
You decide, I'm not
advocating anything other than established medical groups may have muddied
the waters for a possible cure in order to keep the flow of money coming to its
members at the suffering of the sick.. More info on cover-ups HERE. Ooops, look like somebody didn't like the exposure

A Tale of Two Houses
and my thoughts on those that would use the Environment to
further their own agenda to control others with skewed
science...
House #1 (On
left)
A
20 room mansion ( not including 8 bathrooms ) heated by natural gas. Add on a
pool ( and a pool house) and a separate guest house, all heated by gas. In one
month this residence consumes more energy than the average American household
does in a year. The average bill for electricity and natural gas runs over
$2400. In natural gas alone, this property consumes more than 20 times the
national average for an American home. This house is not situated in a Northern
or Midwestern 'snow belt' area. It's in the South.
House
#2 (On
Right)
Designed by an architecture professor at a leading national
university. This house incorporates every 'green' feature current home
construction can provide. The house is 4,000 square feet ( 4 bedrooms ) and is
nestled on a high prairie in the American southwest. A central closet in the
house holds geothermal heat-pumps drawing ground water through pipes sunk 300
feet into the ground.
The water (usually 67 degrees F.) heats the house in the winter
and cools it in the summer. The system uses no fossil fuels such as oil or
natural gas and it consumes one-quarter electricity required for a conventional
heating/cooling system. Rainwater from the roof is collected and funneled into a
25,000 gallon underground cistern. Wastewater from showers, sinks and toilets
goes into underground purifying tanks and then into the cistern. The collected
water then irrigates the land surrounding the house. Surrounding flowers and
shrubs native to the area enable the property to blend into the surrounding
rural landscape.
HOUSE #1 is outside of Nashville , Tennessee ; it is
the abode of the 'environmentalist' Al Gore.
HOUSE #2 is on a ranch near
Crawford, Texas ; it is the residence of the President of the United States
, George W. Bush.
An
'inconvenient truth'
Verified
on "Snopes.com" see for yourself: http://www.snopes.com/politics/bush/house.asp
Al
Gore and his cronies would love to tax your CO2 emissions and anything else they
can lay on you using environmental excuses.
Al Gore Consumes More Energy Now Than Before He Went
'Green'
Al Gore's electricity consumption is
higher today than it was before he went on an energy-efficient binge at his
home. He now uses 17,768 kilowatt hours per month - 16-hundred more than before
the energy efficient changes. The average American household consumes about
11-thousand in an entire year.
Another "Do as I say, not as I
do" Liberal BS...
Environmentalist and Environmentalism, Environmentalism is great when it is based on facts. Some environmentalist are mostly wannabee scientist who spew the latest mantra that is popular in the movement and they are referred to as "Eco-Freaks" and to tell the truth they usually cause way more harm than good. Good Real Scientific Study has shown time and again that Eco-Freak claims are often false. And I will give you just one example; Eco-Freaks claimed that coal fired generation plants are environmentally friendly compared to nuclear plants. And they have managed to stop all construction of nuclear power plants in this country.
The truth is coal fired plants put out far more radiation from its ash piles than a Nuclear plant would ever be allowed to. And no matter how good the scrubbers are on a coal fired plant, it still adds greenhouse gases to the atmosphere as do other fossil fuel plants. No matter what Eco-Freaks claim, you cannot burn fossil fuels and have no pollution, sorry. Each fossil fuel plant built spews thousands of tons of CO2 into our atmosphere each year, and we have built hundreds of them. Now Eco-Freaks want to blame us for Green house gases, wanting to limit our emission foot print while downplaying what they have done in building massive "CO2 generators" called fossil fuel electrical generation plants that was sold to us as a viable alternative to Nuclear power generation.
And what do we do with the tons and tons of ash
from the coal fired plants that includes radioactive
materials--mainly, uranium and thorium and others?
Eco-Freaks didn't think about that I guess when they were pushing for Coal fire
generation and demonizing Nuclear power generation.
The ash is not even treated as Nuclear waste even though
concentrated radioactive elements are present in the ash..
They refuse to deal
with the radioactivity of these growing piles of
ash.

Patrick Moore, founder of "Greenpeace" sees "Echo-Freaks" for
who they are.
Check out his calling a spade a spade and his support of
Nuclear Energy as a viable clean source of
energy in his testimony to
Congress.

Another Eco-Freak claim proven false by reputable scientist.
MTBE Gasoline additive in California fuel will reduce emissions. False, emissions increased due to lower gas mileage per gallon and more fuel used per trip. And MTBE found to cause serious health problems.
And I'm not even going to talk about Spotted Owls, Fairy Shrimp and Kangaroo Mice or not allowing dead moth killed trees to be removed from our forest.
And the list goes on, the sad
thing is that Eco-Freaks have had the ear of legislators for some time, and have
cost the public billions of dollars in following the lead of this group of
radicals. Now that their misguided advice of the past are starting to
catch up with them, do they say we were wrong, no, first they tried to blame
Humanity for an fastly approaching "New Ice Age" but that one didn't fly
to well, now they are hell bent on pushing "Global Warming" as their new
Mantra and place the blame on us for putting out to much CO2. They
want to tax emissions of CO2.
Guess what people, when you exhale
you are putting out CO2. Plants love CO2, they turn it back into,
guess what, Oxygen. Global warming is not a new thing, the earth
cycles through warming and cooling phases. Al Gore and his bunch were not
to long ago screaming about the coming "Ice Age", remember.... This is
just a ploy not fully being backed up by all scientist, and is meant only
to scare people into allowing more laws, taxes and control over us by a
purposely deceitful group of Eco-Freaks... The REAL TRUTH is, we have as a
species not been here on earth long enough, nor do we fully understand the
cycles the earth goes through, nor do we know how much man has really effected
the climate of earth.. There are those who would try to exploit what
little is known... The Mini Ice Age that Al Gore and his bunch was blaming
on humanity not to long ago never materialized... So, they've found a new
scare to promote...
They would better serve our
country to admit their mistakes and address the radioactive ash piles THEY have
caused, move to build Nuclear power plants and get rid of those fossil
fuel power plants that are spewing out thousands of tons of CO2 each
year per plant, and do it as soon as possible.
If we could type certify a Nuclear power plant
design and speed up the process of replacing fossil fuel electrical generation
plants with them would be a great step forward in energy Independence. By
being type certified like airplanes are, each plant would not have to go through
the lengthy certification process, only the construction site would have to pass
certification greatly speeding up the construction time.
Bring back EV1's or other electric cars based on the new
storage battery technology and the combination of Nuclear power and Electric
Vehicles would be totally supportive of any clean air policies for now and well
into the future. As it is now charging an electric vehicle still produces
greenhouse gases from the fossel fuel plant providing the
electicity.
Eco-Freaks dropped the ball in California, they demanded
electric cars and got a good one, the EV1, I cannot remember the car
company.
But under pressure from the Automotive Industry and the Federal
Government they dropped the ball in favor of the Hydrogen car which is so far
into the future and may well NEVER be viable as a energy source for personal
vehicles, even those pushing the hydrogen system will have to admit it.
Good electric cars are here NOW..... If we replaced fossil fuel
electric generation plants with nuclear plants and switched to electric
vehicles we would actually effect the CO2 levels put out by America in a very
significant way... We would take a great step toward energy
independence.
Enough said..
Religion, I am a Christian, but I want to leave you with a thought especially if you to are a Christian. The American Indians have a saying, " The white man, I know him, he came to my land spreading his religion,----------and syphilis."
Be true to yourself and your beliefs...
Be tolerant of others beliefs...
Always seek the truth in everything...
Work, we have to work to eat unless you were born rich or you've won a lottery or you've made your fortune. Otherwise your in my boat, work to eat and live. Sometimes work gets ya down, and when that happens, I remember what my dad use to say.
Son, if you work for a farmer and he has you shovel the manure out of the barn and you get it all done and really feel good about it only to have the farmer return and ask you to shovel it back into the barn, how would you feel ?
No reason to get upset son, It's his barn, his manure and his shovel, but now more of his money is your money....
Spanking children, You betcha. Abuse NO. Spare the
rod, spoil the child has really turned into not only spoiling the child but
almost condemning them to a life of crime and or early death. Dr. Spook,
Spoke, what ever, should be jailed for child abuse...... The ultra-liberals not
only tie the hands of judges to deal with misbehaving adults but also parents to
deal with their misbehaving children.
Spanking in school, you bet, with parent present or if not able, two other teachers as witness. If parent does not want spanking of their child then child should be suspended until parent shows what steps were taken by them to assure infraction will not be repeated at school and must be approved by teacher and principal before child is allowed back in school.
A bit of fragrance clings to the hand that gives flowers.
