Is Obama a Muslem Extremist?

Friday, July 30th, 2010

It makes me sad to hear a few of my conservative friends make their crazy claims about Obama. Whether it is questioning his birth or his religion, it is all wrong or simply unfair. They might as well believe Charles Manson really is Jesus.

Here is what I have noticed about Muslim extremists – they hang out with each other, attend mosques, hate America, and adhere to a lifestyle based on the Koran. Obama is guilty of joining and attending  a Christian church for over 20 years, hung out with 60′s radicals, and belonged to liberal organizations. Does evidence even matter to the people making these accusations?

Why can’t we just disagree with Obama’s philosophy without trying to destroy the man and his family? He believes that the government is the best solution to social problems. So the government is getting bigger by the minute. He thinks professors make the best decision makers. So there is not much common sense being used to handle the nations problems. He is not a big believer in capitalism, but he does take a lot of nice vacations. The bottom line – not exactly the philosophy or lifestyle of Bin Laden.

Get a grip people. Stop attacking the man’s character and began offering common sense solutions to our problems. And by the way, help the economy by working harder and spending more.

Why is Race the Most Important Issue?

Monday, July 26th, 2010

Millions are out of work, the country is trillions in debt, Afghanistan is worsening, and the future looks bleak. The good news is that America elected it’s first black president and the race issue is now on the back burner, right?

Only in politics and the press is racism the supreme issue of the land. I am really getting sick of it. I am not saying that there is not a problem with race, there is, and always will be as long as people are different. Race has now become the lens that every issue is viewed through.

If one disagrees with Obama it is because of race. If an illegal immigrant is arrested it is because of race. The NAACP declared officially a couple of weeks ago that the Tea Party was racist. If this trend continues our country will never return to it’s greatness.

We need to change the tone and direction of the race discussion. I have a suggestion on where to start. Take race out of the census. The only question asked about the people living in a household was what color they were.

A final suggestion for everyone is to grow a spine. If the worst thing that happens is someone calls you a derogatory name, then life is really pretty good. It wasn’t that many generations ago that there were lynchings and slavery. This is no longer happening. Progress is being made toward reducing race discrimination with education and toleration continuing.

The most racist thing that can be done today is this – point your finger at another person or group and call them racist.

Can America Ever Win Another War?

Wednesday, June 23rd, 2010

Did America win the war in Iraq? Was it even a war since congress never declared a war with Iraq? I give us a win on that one but I don’t know that we will ever win one again. And I include Afghanistan in that comment. Our military is the most powerful force in history, but the new rules of engagement have made it incapable of winning a war. (more…)

Is The Earth On Life Support?

Thursday, June 17th, 2010

If all the world’s population were moved to one side of the earth, would it cause the planet to tilt? If every adult in the world could drive the most gas-guzzling SUV, how soon until the earth’s devastation? Is the future of the earth dependent on the behavior of humans? (more…)

Why Is Israel So Special?

Wednesday, June 9th, 2010

How can a country smaller than Vermont, with a population of less than 10 million people, demand so much of the worlds attention? Every president during my lifetime has committed great amounts of energy to find peace in the Middle East, but only find frustration. There is much more to Israel than headlines. (more…)

Do We Really Want to Criminalize BP Over Oil Spill?

Wednesday, June 2nd, 2010

The Obama administration has decided to pursue charges against BP for the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. Is this a good thing? I wonder if they will charge any of the government regulators with crimes? If BP broke the law it had to be with the help of people within government agencies charged with overseeing oil drilling operations. (more…)

Remember Elián González and that Immigration Policy?

Wednesday, May 26th, 2010

I don’t understand this immigration mess. The current administration wants to leave the illegals alone while the past democratic administration deported a 6 year old boy. Do you remember Elian Gonzalez? (more…)

What Do I Think of Red Light Cameras?

Monday, April 12th, 2010

This may seem like an unusual subject, but you will see my interest. You could sum up my entire blogging career with one thought. Government should be limited. If unchecked it will consume every national and personal resource. (more…)

Is Obama the Anti-Christ?

Sunday, March 28th, 2010

I chuckled when I first heard that 24% of republicans believe that Obama is the Anti-Christ. As I kept hearing this stat on every news program, it began to get on my nerves. Polls have always seemed a little sketchy to me, now they appear down right dumb. (more…)

Does It Matter That Al Gore Will Be The First Global Warming Billionaire?

Thursday, March 11th, 2010

Environmentalists immediate reply to any scientist questioning global warming is to say “they are working for the oil companies”. In other words, their profit or income is based on denying that the planet’s future is in danger due to global warming. I would debate that point alone, but the hypocrisy of these same environmentalists concerning Al Gore is more outrageous. (more…)
