Is Big Brother Here????

There are interesting questions raised in the below article about the rights of the middle class and poor. I have heard some talk for the last few months that the government wants to get eliminate the middle class. Also, is this some strange attempt to nationalize the banking interesting and will we now have government owned housing.

Barry Goldwater Jr.

This is great Barry Goldwater Jr. calls Pelosi, Franks, and Dodd dumb, dumber, and dumbest. He is right Congress are usually not great economic genisis. Food for thought when we are going through this scary time.

The Bailout Of The American Economy

I didn't know this Robert Reich has a blog remember President Clinton's old roommate and Labor Secretary. Well, he is teaching at UC Berkeley and has some pretty interesting comments. I just started reading so I will let you know what I think later. But, alot of people don't seem to care for this bailout idea. It is time for every American to become less interested in material things and more interested in what is going on around us.

And on an interesting note the early church (and alot of churches still say) "peace be with you". Brought up as an American evangelical I thought this was pretty profound, but then found out this has been going on for years.

Ron Paul On The Economy

Ron Paul is acutally and interesting and honest politician (That is why he could never be elected President.). I don't agree with him on everything, but his views should be examined.

Race May Play A Factor In The Presidential Election

This is an intereting article and too bad there are people who still this way (And that is an understament). In my opinion racism is indeed a sin. There is no way after the disaster term of President Bush that this election should be this close. But, is this because of race or because the Democrats chose the wrong candidiate.

Hillary Clinton and Sarah Palin On SNL

This is funny watch!!! No mention of McCain or Obama on the show I have heard (I usually don't watch SNL because it has become so bad.). Great going McCain your Palin diversion is working.

Christian Singer Ray Boltz Announces He Is Gay

Well having grown up in the Church this isn't at all suprising. There are many gay/lesbian people in the church who are in hiding, don't really know themselves, or are fighting this part of themselves (You are taught you can't love God and be gay/lesbian). So may hat is off to Mr. Boltz and I pray the best for him. I hope he can set some sort of example for people in the Church who are like himself and others in the Church can learn from this. All those years he must have felt so alone.

Ron Paul Endorses Third Party Candidiates

Is this the beginning of a re-alignment in United States politics? I hope so as both parties seem to be out of touch, want to do nothing about what has been going on for the past eight years, and are just playing politics as usual. You have to give Ron Paul credit for not caving into the establishment and not changing his message. Another brave American politician is Dennis Kucinich (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dennis_Kucinich).

Does Obama Accuse Palin of Being A Pig?

Interesting note he is using teleprompters so the comments were planned. And why does Obama have to speak off notes and use teleprompters all the time?

Barbara Streisand to Sing At Fund Raiser For Obama

Looks like Hollywood has been apart of Obama's campaign war chest besides the common person and he is starting to like 527s. And another question why haven't we heard from any of Obama's friends from his days at Columbia University?

Where's The Beef With Barack Obama

Background behind the phrase:

Gary Hart and Walter Mondale

The phrase was associated with the 1984 U.S. presidential election. During primaries in the spring of 1984, when the commercial was at its height of popularity, Democratic candidate and former Vice President Walter Mondale ridiculed the candidacy of his rival, Senator Gary Hart by using the phrase during a televised debate before the New York and Pennsylvania primaries. The debate was televised March 11, 1984.
Hart had moved his candidacy from dark horse to the lead over Mondale based on his repeated use of the phrase "new ideas." When Hart once again used the slogan in the debate, Mondale leaned forward and said, "When I hear your new ideas I'm reminded of that ad, 'Where's the beef?'" The line got a great response from the audience. Thenceforth, the two campaigns continually clashed using the two dueling slogans. Mondale ultimately prevailed to win the Democratic Party nomination, only to lose the general election in 1984 in a landslide to incumbent Ronald Reagan (Source: http://www.answers.com/topic/where-s-the-beef).

Barack Obama Looks To Hillary Clinton For Help

So Hillary Clinton being the good Democrat that she is willing to go to the swing state of Florida to help Obama against Gov. Sarah Palin. So the fight is on (And people think Obama's campaing isn't politics as usual). What an interesting election this is turning out to be and will certainly be one for the history books. On a side note is Barack Obama his own person or a puppet of Howard Dean? Dean certainly helped Obama get the nomination. And what has happened to the conservatives and moderates in the Democratic Party? It appears the utra-liberals have completely taken over. Boy, has Howard Dean done a good job of shutting down this part of the party. Wasn't the last person to become president from the Democratic Party a moderate?

We Long For A Leader

This country is longing for a leader, but we better be careful that we are not just hoping someone is who we want them to be other than who they really are in reality. The least qualified candidiate often claims that they are the candidiate of change. And we must remember there is good change and bad change. And usually the candidiate of change is just the same old thing.

Sarah Palin

Sarah Palin really hit one out of the park last night. Wow, what a politician very impressive. Certain people seem to be really afraid of her thus these relentless attacks. I think the ultra-liberals in this country are scared.

Is Senator Obama Really What He Says He Is?

Let me begin by saying that I like the concept of Barack Obama. I like the things people believe that Senator Obama stands for and for the change people want in this country. The people of the United States are desperate for a leader to change the current status quo and to change what we have beome since September 11, 2001. However, are we just seeing what we want to see in Senator Obama and believing he is something people desperately want? And is Senator Obama captilizing on these feelings to catapult himself into the White House? I am growing leary of a person who is letting people so easily believe he is Martin Luther King Jr. and John F. Kennedy all roled into one; and Senator Obama doesn’t miss a chance in speaches to lead people to thinking he is one of these great men. Isn’t this just a decpetive tactic to get votes? Senator Obama supports the ideas of these great men, but at this point in his life does he have the credentials to boast that he is anything like either one? What else concerns me is this major shift to the left in the Democratic Party; specifically it is Howard Dean who supports Barack Obama not the moderates who brougt the Democratic Party to victory in recents years. It is the same left wing of the Democratic Party who has lost two major presidential elections (which should have been easily won) and has given us and the world George W. Bush. And when is the left wing of the party going to answer for that?
