They say you should check your facts before you speak.  I did a simple search on the Internet on the subject of "Obama and Abortion".  From this search I found out that Mr. Obama is in favor of "partial birth abortion" and "embryonic stem cell research".

Now, as I understand partial birth abortion it is when a doctor partially delivers a baby and while the head is still in the mother the doctor cuts a whole in the back of the baby's head and sucks the baby's brain out.  Embryonic stem cell research is taking stem cells from embryos, which destroys the embryo.

Of course I am wondering what a so-called Christian is doing supporting the murder of the unborn.  One of the things accepting Jesus Christ as my lord and savior did for me was give a more profound respect for human life.  There is no reason why the Creator should want anything to do with me.  Yet, he chooses to take and interest in everyone and try to help us have a good life.

Ok two things are going on that I want to get to fast.  I applaud the senate republicans for stopping the bill that would tax the profits of corporations more than the established rate.  It is un-American to punish success and to start forcibly taking the private property of private citizens. I got a big problem with oil companies that are earning 30 billion in profit, getting tax breaks.   Part of the “windfall profits tax” bill introduced by democrats was ...

Ok so much for trying to include a music video.  I guess I am not up to the task of figuring that out.   Religion Today, I was speaking to a customer on an issue I have already written on in my BLOG.  The subject was death and coping.  I say it is helpful to have a belief that sees death as a step to another life. However, if a person does not have a religion, I think we can help our selves.  No amount of torturing ourselves is going to bring back th...

I am surprised at how much the liberals want to continue to make Bush look bad.  You would think that after all this time these “libs” would give up. I am sure by now you have seen the headlines “unemployment takes its worst leap in twenty years” or some thing like that. I followed the following article from the Yahoo home page web site: [ AP, Biggest jobless jump since '86 -- Wall Street sinks Friday June 6, 4:17 pm ET By Jeannine Aversa, AP Economics Wri...

Is it social unacceptable to ask the poor why they are poor.  How about how does some one classify poor?  Is a person with a 40k salary, carrying more debt then they can afford a poor person?  For me a person with no income, home, or food is poor.  However this does not mean that I am going to clothe, shelter, and feed them.  If I do  all of these things what is there incentive to do it for themselves? Yesterday I asked in my BLOG why the poor have children, k...

Even as Ms. Clinton's political career is coming to an end we keep seeing evidence of how much more unattractive Mr. Obama is as a politician.  Just as the whole Reverend Wright drama had settled down, here comes another clergy man talking the same politics of radical "dark skinism". Now Mr. Obama has resigned from this church.  He however, did not resign the twenty years he was associated with this church and listenning to all these anti-white radical rhetoric comments. ...

I had a lot on my mind today.  I think I am able to write about all of it.  However, let me first publicly ridicule the fool who actually wrote as a response to my last article that I had obviously not been to Marti Gras since people keep their clothe on at this event.  I ask what kind of fool makes such an irrational statement. Okay it is a given that I have not been to Mardi Gras.  However, I have seen many of the live video that is taken at this event that clearly sh...

I am sitting here thinking about what is all about.  The United States of America is in the road to choosing a new president.  The issues seen to be Mr. Bush lied, he is a dirty good for nothing, the wars are the reason for the economic crisis in America, and a democrat can undo all Mr. Bush did to make America a disaster. If you hold these ideas then you have been very well brainwashed by the liberal-agenda driven, news media.  Mr. Bush has not lied.  In 1996, the Unit...

It is my opinion that American oil companies are earning grouse profits.  I was doing a simple search on the Internet on oil profits and I found reports of 30 percent in profit growth for oil companies since 2005. One stat was that one oil company made 89 percent profit. Having stated the above do I believe that government at any level should start regulating oil company profits?  The answer is an emphatic no.  Government can only kill American economic growth by interfering...

Today, I will write about the importance of "property rights" of the individual in America and how small things can harm you.   This is a response to reports of Mr. Obama's comments on "tiny Iran" and about how "we cannot eat what we want, keep our thermostats at 72, and drive our SUV's. First I would like to say that gluttony has its price.  As personal concept of not over indulging, I am in agreement.  Societies that indulge perish.  Look at the no-longer existin...

I am going to tell you what is wrong with conservatives.  You do not speak with a smile in your voice when you speak. People are not war weary.  They are tired of angry complainers. I listen to Bill Bennett, Laura Ingraham, Rush Limbaugh, Bill O'riely,  Denis Miller, and Hanity.  None of these people speak as if conservative is something good and joyfull.  In my opinion, they spend their timing complaining about the democrats. After listenning to these conserv...

In speaking to Israel, the president of the United States was right.  Obama, Hillary, and many democrats have espoused the idea that if we just leave the terrorist alone they would leave us alone.  Obama, himself wants to sit down and have a heart to heart with a man who calls Israel the "little satan" and the US the "big satan", who must be destroyed. What"s the matter Obama?  Didn't you know that Iran's leadership is responsible for most of the world's terrorism.  Eve...

Why is it so easy for politicians to manipulate people?  When you look at McCain, Hillary, and Obama, you may think that they are not sincere in their rhetoric.  I would say that that is a good analysis.  One of my biggest problems with the current political situation in American is that insincere people are managing to grasp the attention of voters.   Makes me wonder about the sincerity of the voter. A couple of days ago I had a conversation with two men abo...

It is important that we do not get carried away by the fever of the mob.  When George W. Bush ran for the first time there was a fever of excitement because of the novelty.  Getting carried away by the mob may mean a person does not think and make good choices. However, Mr. Bush had actual substance to his policies.  Mr. Bush and I are in sync about the direction of the country.  The president is right about retirement investment being a personal matter, not a governmen...
