Follow this link, and you won't even have to read the whole article to see what's endangered. worldnetdaily.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=60196The most frightening thing is the apathy I see in most Americans about political struggles. The media's made this whole election cycle into a travesty of "if he doesn't somehow convince the Catholics and Hispanics, he's going to have trouble remaining a viable candidate". The debates don't get down to the people's records and stances on issues enough. I guarantee there will be a tremendous backlash against Clinton if she becomes President, one that we won't see as much under McCain. I have an unction that Obama will win, though, and only Fred can expose him in debates properly and win the Presidency. But it's a major setback that he's disappeared from the national scene. We've got to try to get him back, or we'll become like Canada--and Britain, where many deny the existence of Winston Churchill!!!!!

There's another thought that's been growing on me lately: the deliberate hampering of the middle-class Americans. Taxes, regulations, illegal immigration, and dependence on other countries seem like a deliberate setup to make us become dependent on the government. These are all anti-capitalist devices, but I don't know how many people, even liberals, know that's what's going on.
FYI, I just learned from Liberal Fascism that the first successful violation of democracy in the 1900s happened here under Woodrow Wilson, who thought God had given him the power to control the country. Hysteria in wartime like we know from post-9/11 emerged because of Wilson. Propaganda made people so suspicious that from that time onward, the natural reaction is to give the govt. more and more power. Is that what the PATRIOT Act did? Based on what I think I know about it, really, people could report terrorists in their own neighborhood, and the govt. just wanted to use the post-9/11 frenzy and fear as an excuse for expanding its power. Could somebody clarify this for me?

We are all caught up in ignoring reality. 200 channels plus game channels and truth is in short supply. Why does Al Gore win Nobel Prize defending the Global Warming lie, and we are compared to ignorant flat world conspiracist. Ignorance is being taught and held up as truth. Example when my 11 year old grandson tells me that Jesus could be a Black person or a female. I had to explain to him that the Bible has Jesus complete genealogy, that Jesus is Hebrew; a Semitic race. Since he has seen the news I told him he probably looked more like the Arabic terrorists than the blue eyed picture from the middle ages. That Jesus was circumcised when he was 8 day old, so he can’t be female. Evolution is taught as fact ignoring scientific method and proofs. The consistent brainwashing by our schools and media has induced most to give up our basic beliefs and encourage us to believe a lie. When Fred said that something has to be done about Social Security, people filtered it thru their brainwashed version of reality. “Claiming to be wise, they became fools [professing to be smart, they made simpletons of themselves]. And by them the glory and majesty and excellence of the immortal God were exchanged for and represented by images, resembling mortal man and birds and beasts and reptiles. Therefore God gave them up in the lusts of their [own] hearts to sexual impurity, to the dishonoring of their bodies among themselves [abandoning them to the degrading power of sin], Because they exchanged the truth of God for a lie and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, Who is blessed forever! Amen (so be it). [Jeremiah 2:11] “(Amp Rom 1:22-25) In the end the Bible is the only truth available in our soceity, so the pressure is on to outlaw the Bible. They won't be happy till the world is ready for the anti-christ. Don't except it to get better but be ready to defend the truth.

It's so d**n scary how the right to be not offended supercedes all other rights anymore... and I hear liberals screaming about the Patriot Act taking away our civil liberties but I have yet to hear one example of how it does this. They want our government to cease wire tapping if the call originates, terminates, or even just passes through the US unless they obtain a warrant. They want the detainees in Guantanamo to be given the same civil rights as the rest of America. WHY DO LIBERALS WANT OUR RIGHTS TO BE GIVEN TO OUR ENEMIES WHILE TRYING TO TAKE AWAY OUR OWN RIGHTS? Just a play on a quote from Patton - you don't win wars by being nice to your enemy.......you win wars by making the other poor dumb <fatherless person> die for his. War is about weapons and when the enemy wants to use them against our country, it's the responsibility of our government to do everything within it's means to stop them, to protect our rights, not the rights of our enemies.

So James, can you explain for me what the PATRIOT Act is all about?

They call it the theory of evolution, but are unwavering on their dating of the sun being 4.6 billion years old and the like. Such nonsense as to say they believe in biogenesis (life must come from life), but make phoney claims about the lifeless matter that gave us life. How can anyone listen to Jeremiah Wright saying Jesus was a black man who was persecuted by rich, angry whites and not find it ludicrous? I've laughed about that numerous times--in fact, almost every time I think of Obama! Back to the topic, it seems like every concoction that liberals use is designed to hamper the middle class--straight from the nasty philosophies that made Europe a mess. An Inconvenient Truth is filled with falsities, but it's aimed to push for increased taxes to fight a bogus problem. Al Gore probably knows it's bogus, too. He uses the energy sources he condemns because he has a "certificate". Illegal immigration, global warming, taxes, regulations, IRS, too much unreasonable dependence on other countries--they're part of the Marxist scheme to destroy the "bourgeois"/middle class.

Also, today we hear that the 5 big oil companies have spent gazillions of dollars on "alternative energy research". What about expanding or building new oil refineries? What about clean coal technologies? We have the largest supply of coal in the world. What about fighting against the lunatic environmentalists that keep us from drilling in ANWAR and elsewhere? We could become energy independent. It's the same anti-war kooks that are the environmentalists.

Creationist - the patriot act is supposed to be about anti-terrorism. After a quick glance at it I see there are provisions for protecting our borders with only the NORTHERN BORDER mentioned. I suppose we need to be worried about all those d**n Canadians coming in trying to steal our jobs... ;D frwebgate.access.gpo.gov/cgi-bin/getdoc.cgi?dbname=107_cong_public_laws&docid=f:publ056.107.pdfIf anyone wants to give their take on it prior to me finish reading it (software specifications are more important at the moment), be my guest...

Why don’t politicians get it, at current rate of illegal immigration the population of United States will approximately be 420 million by 2050. 36 states expect to have water shortages in next 5 years. This rapid population growth has strain the resources of local governments that increasingly demand more tax money because of short falls. Studies show that when immigration was held to approximately 180,000 the economy grew without the help of cheap labor, Juan McCain’s tries to tell us that Illegal aliens do the jobs that Americans won’t do at slave wages, but we have 14 million unemployed Americans and 20 million illegal immigrates, of course he no worst than the other democratic presidential candidates. Is the global warming caused by man being used to suppress the development of industry? If the sun is 4.6 billion years old the thermonuclear reactions would have increased light by 25% since the evolutionist life beginning 3.8 billion years ago this would call for the average temperature of 26 degrees world wide when evolutionary life began for current average temperature to be 59 degrees. Only, 18% of climate scientists believe man is cause of global warming, and this is considered a consensus. The snow on Mount Kilimanjaro is disappearing because the trees have been cut down in area reducing the humidity available to produce snow. If they replant forest the snow will return. U.S. government originally collected tariffs on imports, not a bad way to provide revenue for services. Current tax system code is so long that it is estamated to be 10 times longer than the Bible. Fred, proposed a simple 10 % flat tax that would consist of one page, also I like that it match Bibical tithe. So, why does our government demand more than God? No doubt the current polticians will do everything to make taxes more oppressing, so that we become more dependant on Government than God. Of course this all goes along with 19th century German atheist philosophy, the believeth we are greedy (a moral problem) and need to redistribute our wealth for us, but also requires the dumbing down of the citizenry. I can’t help but say Obama’s attraction to voters is evidence that this dumbing down process is taking place as well the other presidential choices. “The [empty-headed] fool has said in his heart, There is no God. Corrupt and evil are they, and doing abominable iniquity; there is none who does good.” (AMP Psa 53:1)
The article you referred to points out Canada Hate crime laws are coming to bear on Christians, but also points out how easily “Focus on the Family” is willing to reformat their programs to satisfy the Canadian government. Dr. James Dobson is no doubt a hypocrite, who would rather support a pro-life liberal and slight a true conservative like Fred Thompson. Because your reference to this article I believed I was on topic.

What about clean coal technologies? We have the largest supply of coal in the world. What about fighting against the lunatic environmentalists that keep us from drilling in ANWAR and elsewhere? We could become energy independent. It's the same anti-war kooks that are the environmentalists. Don't blame the oil companies for not spending their gazillions the way we think they should! They would build more refineries if they were allowed to. They would develop cleaner coal burning technologies if the Fed would stop shutting down the coal burning plants. It's much more expensive to build something brand new now (with all the regulations) than it is to refurbish it. I have been directly affected by this mentality where I live. A Spanish energy company, Iberdrola, proposed a merger with one of the US energy companies in my area, Energy East. Well gold ole' camera hog Chuck Shumer, the senior Senator from NY, had to get involved on "behalf" of the people of the state and the country. He demanded from Iberdrola that they would guarantee an investment in a local coal burning plant to make it more efficient and environmentally friendly. Iberdrola is one of the WORLD leaders in clean energy generation technologies. What more "guaranty" does he need? All his posturing did was possibly cancel the merger, make Energy East stock plummet (I own some)and the coal burning plant will now be shut down by year end costing folks in this area both jobs and money in the form of higher electric costs. It is more costly to "buy" electricity from other municipalities than it is to generate your own! I don't need this kind of help from guys I didn't vote for!!! In fact this country and a lot of our energy needs would be better served by nuclear power generation but we haven't built one of those here in 20+ years or more. Big Oil would try to fight the environmentalist wackos by supporting politicians that are more Conservative and understand our needs but wait a minute... There's a law out there now that stops them from doing it.... McCain-Feingold!!!

Great link on how out of touch Pelosi and co. are when it comes to gas prices. I'll have to add it the blog. Check out this post I had on and the ad put out by NRCC I think it was along with other links on the do-nothing Dems on this issue. brvanlanen.wordpress.com/2008/04/25/gas-broken-promise/

You gotta love those Dems. I have to find the link but when it came to the whole gas tax holiday debate Pelosi said something to the effect that it goes against everything we've tried to do to stop rising oil prices. What have they done??? NOTHING!! (See the above link)

WHY are gas prices increasing all the time? It's a strange trend.

supply and demand. it's simple economics. Speculators are betting that in the short term there will not be anything done to change current production levels, which are below current demand levels. Therefore, price goes up.
That's the simple approach to why gas prices have continued to steadily increase over the last few years.
There are "tin foil hat" underpinnings for why the production side has not been allowed to keep up with the demand side. They are working to devalue to the dollar to make way for the Amero. A devalued dollar = higher oil prices. That's why the Fed keeps cutting rates. Most people don't realize when the Fed cuts rates what they are really doing is printing more money to put into circulation. More dollars = less value per dollar. That's right I said it. The Federal Reserve is working to weaken the dollar and push us into a recession so that we will then sheepishly glom onto the savior that is our new fortified regional currency.
Gas prices at the pump are elevated for a lot of reasons, but mainly it's supply and demand. We aren't making enough refined petroleum products to meet demand.
