Global Warming and Reality



[ Go right to full post ]

I don't know about you, but I'm sick and tired of these dumb Democrats, stupid Liberals, and other radicals. All they do is claim Global Warming this or Global Warming that. They want to bring tons of rules and regulations into our everyday lives. People like our politicians that give into this craze of Global Warming do it for the vote. And, silly and weak-minded Republicans that have gone along with this madness should be ashamed of themselves. Democrats are just plain nuts. They have no brains other than listen to the likes of the Al Gores of this world that don't know "SH*T".

People who are moderates of "Your Three Cents", please go to www.globalwarmingheartland.org and read how 500 researchers have debunked alot of the myths of the Environment Nazis. People such as Dennis Avery, Chris Horner, and Steven Milloy have challenged the "IDIOT" Al Gore to a debate about his lies and half-truths. And, Al Gore is running like a chicken he is. Typical Liberal trash! They don't want to talk about the truth; because, they would know how to spell it first. Read what the experts say about Global Warming and the Natural Cycle. Sea levels aren't rising rapidly. Go to the site and read the truth about our environment and don't listen to the Left Leaning Crazies out there on Global Warming.

The Homosexual / Lesbian Life Style



[ Go right to full post ]

For those that want to live in a life style that is not natural or that is just sinful unto god, just because you got the the State of California to justify your perverted ways doesn't mean it's right. The Homosexual/Lesbian Life Style is wrong and it rips at the very fiber of society that lets us know what is normal and what is not. As Conservatives, we will not stand by and let this perversion sweep our country. Let us rise to the challenges of our country. Such things as Abortion and the Homosexual Life Style are wrong. We need to work harder to overturn such actions that threaten our countries value. Men stand up and be men. Likewise, women need to be accountable for their actions. Don't give into the dark and the perverse. We must stand up now and fight for what is right before the day comes that we don't even recognize our own country as it was.

What’s all the Doom and Gloom?



[ Go right to full post ]

I hear all this doom and gloom in a flat or slow economic, I can’t image what people would be saying in a true recession. Actually, the government is going to adjust the GDP number upward for the first quarter. Five strong quarters of economic growth in a row. The stock market has moved 10% since the Bear Sterns take over and was back to 13,000 just about a week ago. Wow, what recession non recession we are in. Today just got a positive number from housing that new construction for April grow at 8.2% and that is a sign of growth and again no recession. This is the time for new graduates of Y generation to shine stocks are cheap and real estate is cheap. Buy Citi bank Well Fargo and Toll brothers all are cheap considering what they usually trade during a normal course of growing American economy. Since Real Estate is cheap that is good for the Y generation now housing is more affordable then it once was. Now that house that was 200,000 18 months ago might only be worth 170,000 now that’s a 15% discount. One person loss is another person gain whether you like it or not that capitalism people. This is time for the Y generation to get a head to becoming the wealthiest generation. Contra to what you hear in media and on this web site there are still jobs. Software engineer according to BLS excepts a whopping 325,000 new jobs through 2016. In 2006 software engineers has a median salary between 79,980 and 85,730 pretty good if you ask me. Accounting employment is going to grow 226,000 new jobs. Accountant’s median annual salaries of 54,630 in 2006. I can go on and on about other professions as well that are growing with same type of numbers. Load up the truck because growth is coming soon and you don’t want to miss it. Credit crunch is coming to an end, maybe in few months. Goldilocks is coming don’t miss it being pessimist!

However, I do have some concerns. Number one is the weak dollar. If McCain wants to win this election he needs strong dollar policy in place. Number 2 the rise in inflation in oil and food. Both oil and food we’re not going to slow down the use of anytime soon. A lot of that inflation in oil and food is because of the weak dollar. Third is the chance of Obama winning the election then raising taxes. It is a FACT every single time the government raises taxes the economy slows down. Clinton when he first raise taxes the economy was weak not good, it wasn’t until he cut taxes the economy boomed. Once he cut taxes job creation boom and inflation when to zero. That’s why people taxes cut are so important it promotes growth. I never heard of tax cut I didn’t like bottom line. Bill Clinton was the best President in our history today whether you like him or not he is. However, I believe John McCain can give him a run for his money. McCain all he has to do is cut taxes and strength the dollar the economy will fine and boom and again. Larry Kudlow said in his book about the Clinton success “first he cut taxes, then came growth and then paid down debt and had a surplus”. That’s the formula people. Cut taxes, then growth and paid down debt.

Sorry all you bears out there the economy isn’t all that bad right now. I see growth coming real soon. Take advantage of all these assets becoming cheap and then profit from it. Let the boom begin!

Are we really FREE???



[ Go right to full post ]

Ask yourself, are we really free? Depending on who you ask, most people will have to really think about this question. Let me put things into perspective. We are NOT FREE. Gov't controls everything. Government controls what we watch on tv ( own media) GOvernment controls where we get our prescription meds from Gov't controls what we do to our body ( can't commit suicide w/o arrest, fine, no abortions w/o permission) Gov't controls internet ( monitoring what we watch) monitors curfew (even as adults) cops patrol (meet that quota) Gov't tells us to wear seat belts Raise age limits on alcohol tells us to wear safety helmets Try to censor music, movies etc. reinforce womens role by what u see on tv tell u who you can marry ( man and woman) not gay couples Gov't monitors telephone conversations Determine who goes to college gov't says need education to get good job, yet salarys still unequal between the sexes (this is done on purpose) because women should be at home making children and men are the breadwinners. So ask yourself how free are you?????

Gay Couples



[ Go right to full post ]

So gay couples can possibly get married if the Courts ruling is not put on hold. If no interference, gays are good to go in the sate of California. Makes sense, i mean they're already living together, whats a piece of paper gonna do or really change anything. I don't understand why it has taken so long. CA is pretty liberal from the get go. Why should our country deny people that are in love the right to express their happiness? Because of the old fascist beliefs that are in place. That's so true. WE need to move forward instead of holding onto the past. We are a new generation. heterosexuals have a difficult time staying together so what makes a relationship between a man and a woman more significant than the other?  I can't tell you how many times I turn on the news to hear about a husband killing his wife or vice versa. Sometimes things don't work out. People try desperately to hold onto traditional beliefs that they often lose themselves and neglect their real feelings.

I get so sick and tired of hearing about those Christian groups bitching about its not God's plan. bla bla bla. I thought they (Christians) weren't suppose to judge and were suppose to love everything and not hate in their heart. LIES LIES LIES. THey're a big bunch of hypocrtical assholes. God made Adam and Eve and I'm sure God wants us to enjoy the fruit of his creations as well. Go Gay marriage.

Compassionate Conservative: GWB



[ Go right to full post ]

Gotta love this man. Should be the poster child for "why women should consider abortions." In a one on one interview, Mr. Bush says that he will not play golf while many men and women are dying in Iraq." Awwww. isn't that nice. He's being compassionate. That's just what we love about him. He must have a really unique PR person. I wonder where his PR person was when innocent people were being killed in New York. Oh that's right he was reading a book to children in class. WOW.But while he won't play golf, he will threaten to veto the GI Bill, that will allow for returning soldiers to recieve free college tuition among other things, but this may create a problem because that means that wealthy Americans will face an income tax surchage. Tough call. I guess the wealthiest percent of the population will not be able to afford the tax. I guess the 2% of the population isn't capable of giving a little extra change. Separation of the masses people. Republicans = destruction.

We AMericans have a better understanding of hygiene and wear deodorant 6. We Americans aren't a bunch of cowards ( we don't run from a challenge) 7. WE Have better fashion, clothes and AMerican men are the sexiest. Then definitely the Irish and yes Bear Grylls is also hot for a Brit. 8. We know what we want and go after it (that's why we're a sucessful country) 9. WE AMericans aren't a bunch of stoic slobs ( we have emotion almost too much) 10. WE Americans know how to fix things although we choose to have others fix things for us 11. American women are much more independent and way more sexy 12. We Americans are better athletes. 13. WE Americans are always called upon to fix other countries problems God bless America. I love this country.

No Democracy



[ Go right to full post ]

Democracy? I beg to differ. Our system is comprised of two political parties. Republican and Democrat. Of course, there are other parties but when has anyone of these party leaders actually made it to the election? You have your Ralph Naders and your Bob Barrs but people are always told not to vote for them because they take votes away from the two main parties. HUH? This is democracy…supposedly. No matter what you do we are always going to have this political system that picks TWO candidates and people are forced to narrow their ideals to one person. How is this democracy?

Iraq



[ Go right to full post ]

We hear alot of people talk about how expensive the Iraq War is costing us or how many American Lives have been lost, and those are sad facts about this war that we will have to live with. Because, no one can undo what has happened. There were mistakes in various forms such as passing anti-Baathists Laws to disbanding the Iraqi Army. We were told that the war would pay for itself and that the Americans would be greated as liberators. So, there are some faults and failures in this war. No one will deny certain realities. But, to allow these things to dictate what our future course of actions to be would be an even greater mistake. Let's not think in some simple, linear way when solving tough times. Right now as we speak, we have great hope in Iraq of bringing about stability to Iraq and their Democratic Government while defeating Al Qeda in Iraq. The Iraqi Government has shown great progress. They have dealt with rebellious elements (like al-Sadr) and his Madhi Army. Right now, it is the Iraqi Army that is in charge of Basra. The Iraqi Government has passed provincial elections for the Fall. They have gotten rid of their anti-Baathists Laws and are now hiring Sunnis to government jobs. More and more Sunnis are brought into the Iraqi Security forces or Army. Iraq has even signed contracts to buy 40 aircraft from Boeing for 5 billion dollars. Yes, in some ways the Iraqis are even putting Americans to work. Al- Sadr political standing has been hurt as a result of fighting and taking on the Iraqi Government. Nouri al-Maliki standing has grown according to US Military Officials. Maliki has shown a willingness to take on his own Shiite. A peace accord has been signed to bring peace to the areas of Basra and Sadr City. So, there is progress - slow but steady. And, thank god.

This war in Iraq (although expensive) is less than 4% of GDP. That's less than our commitment during 4 decades of the Cold War. How about that for "CONTEXT". During the Truman and Eisenhower administrations our Defense Budgets rose as high as 13% of GNP. So, for all of those that what to put a spin on our financial commitment in Iraq, they do so in a purely partisan way. They have "NO" context.

Finally, as mentioned earlier, let's look at Iraq -not as a series of mistakes- but in terms of turning around some mistakes and coming away with a victory and we will. Here are our strategic concerns for Iraq and the region on large.


1. Defeating the enemy in Iraq (Al Qaeda). Right now Al Qaeda has been hurt bad, but isn't defeated.

2. Leaving Iraq without a victory would lead to a psychological set-back for our troops.

3. Allowing our enemies to prevail in Iraq would lead to chaos in the region. Iran wants to bring about a Lebanonization of Iraq according to Mr. Crocker our ambassador to Iraq. Iran doesn't want peace on the border with Iraq but instability so they can better manipulate Iraq for its purposes.

4. And not truly addressing the issue of Iran and its Nuclear ambitions would lead to even bigger problems down the road. So, while we are there, let's deal with Iran once and for all.



People of America, we are winners not losers. Don't give into the negative, manipulative, lying ways of the Anti-American, Anti-Troop Haters, Liberals, Retreat and Defeat, cut and run types in America. We are winning in Iraq. Stand up to the Bush Haters, Blame America, Surrender types and know we will prevail in Iraq because we are Americans.

McCain says Troops Won't be home til 2013



[ Go right to full post ]

McCain sees the troops coming home in 2013. WHAT?!?!?!!? Doesn’t he sense or see the dissension in everyone? Why would he even want to say this, I mean doesn’t he want to win? This is definitely going to cost him. He said that all the troops will be back by 2013 and claims that Iraq will be a functioning democracy. What does he have a crystal ball? What an assumption to make. He claims they will only have “spasmodic” episodes of violence. Yea, because once we stay there long enough, because 5 YEARS isn’t long enough, they will magically start getting a long and holding hands and singing merrily. WHAT PLANET DOES HE LIVE ON? He also went on to say that we will still have a military presence but a much smaller one. WOW. JUST WOW. Am I the only one that thinks he’s crazy? Has the whole world just gone crazy?

Just wrong!!



[ Go right to full post ]

Children in beauty pageants is completely immoral. There's nothing wrong with a child wanting to dress up, but at the same time there is. These children parade around like porcelain dolls. Everything about them is too perfect, almost not human. What's sad is that they don't even know that they're parading around like a piece of meat, because they'r e too young to understand. Children should be children. They should play with breyer horses, braid their friend's hair, watch tv, make messes and enjoy their youth. I strongly believe that 95% of the kids parents are living their lives through their children. We all saw what happened to Jon Benet Ramsey. These parents practically prostitute out their children and I am suprised that there aren't laws to stop these pageants. In addition, there's a growing number of pedophiles in this country and they probably attend the pageants as well. Which puts the kids in danger. There needs to be a law to stop these horrible events. Children are not toys, they are children.
