Would be nice to have this van in every city! The owner does raise a valid point. If this health care plan is so great, why won’t our elected officials be part of it.

Here’s a quote from Dr. Adrian Rogers. Did he have it so right. We need to read and re-read. Forward to your friends or associates that like the direction our country is headed.
“You cannot legislate the poor into freedom by legislating the wealthy out of freedom. What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that is about the end of any nation. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it.”

I was just reading an article Carl Levin (MI-Democrat) said that we will need to tax the high income earners ($200,000 – $250,000) in order to send additional troops to Afghanistan. He said “They have done incredibly well, and I think that it’s important that we pay for it if we possibly can”. It seems like every Senator or Congressman wants to fund new programs by taxing the rich people (Combined annual incomes greater than $250,00).
The democrats want to tax the rich to pay for healthcare (don’t believe this, you will all pay for that program)
Tax the rich to pay for everything

*Twas the month before Christmas*
*When all through our land,*
*Not a Christian was praying*
*Nor taking a stand.*
*See the PC Police had taken away,*
*The reason for Christmas – no one could say.*
*The children were told by their schools not to sing,*
*About Shepherds and Wise Men and Angels and things.*
*It might hurt people’s feelings, the teachers would say*
*December 25th is just a ‘ Holiday ‘.*
*Yet the shoppers were ready with cash, checks and credit*
*Pushing folks down to the floor just to get it!*
*CDs from Madonna, an X BOX, an I-pod*
*Something was changing, something quite odd! *
*Retailers promoted Ramadan and Kwanzaa*
*In hopes to sell books by Franken & Fonda.*
*As Targets were hanging their trees upside down*
* At Lowe’s the word Christmas – was no where to be found.*
*At K-Mart and Staples and Penney’s and Sears*
*You won’t hear the word Christmas; it won’t touch your ears.*
*Inclusive, sensitive, Di-ver-si-ty*
*Are words that were used to intimidate me.*
*Now Daschle, Now Darden, Now Sharpton, Wolf Blitzen*
*On Boxer, on Rather, on Kerry, on Clinton !*
*At the top of the Senate, there arose such a clatter*
*To eliminate Jesus, in all public matter.*
*And we spoke not a word, as they took away our faith*
* Forbidden to speak of salvation and grace*
*The true Gift of Christmas was exchanged and discarded*
*The reason for the season, stopped before it started.*
*So as you celebrate ‘Winter Break’ under your ‘Dream Tree’*
*Sipping your Starbucks, listen to me.*
*Choose your words carefully, choose what you say*
*Shout MERRY CHRISTMAS ,
not Happy Holiday !*
Please, all Christians join together and
wish everyone you meet during the
holidays a
MERRY CHRISTMAS
Christ is The Reason for the Christ-mas Season!

I was listening to the news this morning and heard a number (can’t recall what it was) about the number of jobs created or saved. Here are some examples jobs created or saved.
The federal government sent Bob Bray $26,174 in stimulus aid to fix a fence and replace the roofs on public apartments in Blooming Grove, Texas, a town of fewer than 900 people outside Dallas. He hired five roofers and an inspector to do the job. But the number of jobs he reported to the government looked very different — 450 jobs. He said that he told the government that he had created six jobs but that a federal official told him that wasn’t right. So he reported the number of hours the roofers worked instead. That’s the number that was used.
The police department in Plymouth, Conn., claimed in its report that a $15,355 grant used to buy new computers had created or saved 108 jobs. The department had 22 law enforcement officers last year, according to the FBI. Mayor Vincent Festa said that the town has resorted to “counting paper clips” to save money but that it had no plans to lay off any of its police officers, even without the stimulus. So how did they create or save 108 jobs. Even if the money helped keep the current officers on staff that number should have only been 22.
The Southwest Georgia Community Action Council, which employs about 500 people in its Head Start preschool program, reported creating or saving 935 jobs with about $1.3 million in funding. They are using its stimulus money to give a 1.84% pay raise to its employees and pay for other needs such as playground equipment and training for the teachers who serve 2,300 low-income children. Another example in which at best, if they were going to fire everyone and the stimulus money was used for that purpose the saved or created number would only be 500.
Teach for America, which helps place recent graduates in teaching jobs in urban and rural districts, reported that a $2 million grant created or saved 1,425 jobs. They used that money to pay part of the salaries of 125 employees; a separate $6 million allowed it to expand the training program to include 1,300 more graduates.
So with math like this do you still trust that the governments accounting of how much health care will cost is accurate?

Fox News continues it’s dominance among cable news networks…CNN drops to last place…good, maybe they’ll change the channel at the gym now.
From PRAVDA – America moving from a kingdom of cash to socialism…
Barney Frank: ‘We Are Trying On Every Front To Increase The Role Of Government’…
Barney Frank will be introducing legislation that would make it easier for the federal government to seize control of institutions that have been deemed “too big to fail.”

This Cold War-era (1948) cartoon uses humor to tout the dangers of Communism and the benefits of capitalism. Just as true today as it was in 1948.

I was wondering why the White House is making such a fuss over Fox News. I personally don’t watch the major news networks because I feel that the news they present is only what they want us to hear. At times reporting with validating any of the facts (remember Dan Rather and the National Guard story). Going on and on about items that aren’t news (Jon and Kate…who cares. Balloon boy family, enough already).
I looked at the ratings for news shows and it appears that Fox News has more than twice the viewers for the whole day and more than 3 times during prime time against CNN (other networks are further back). It would appear that more people turn to Fox News. So why would senior Obama officials go on the Sunday shows downplaying the significance of Fox News. White House chief of staff Rahm Emanuel told CNN that President Obama doesn’t want “the CNNs and the others in the world to basically be led by following Fox”. If the Nielsen data is correct then it seems like the CNNs and others have no option but to follow Fox. Fox gets the viewers which means they will have significantly more ad revenue than the mainstream media outlets.
The war against Fox appears to have started in August when Chris Wallace, the host of Fox News Sunday, fact checked controversial comments made by Tammy Duckworth, assistant secretary of the Department of Veterans Affairs. Anita Dunn criticized Fox News Sunday for fact checking an administrations official. But why shouldn’t they fact check her. Because someone is an administration official doesn’t preclude them from having to tell the truth. News outlets have the the moral obligation to check facts before running with a story.
Look what happened when the mainstream news outlets ran with the Rush Limbaugh story attributing racist comments to him. His critics were desperate to make racism charges stick that they resorted to demonstrable lies, statements the Limbaugh never made. Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton had another minute or two of fame by lobbying the NFL to oppose Rush. In the end Rush was dropped from the team trying to buy the Rams.
In their own words, the White House “control” the news media. We have to be careful when our government, any government, controls the news media. When they control what you see, they control what you believe, control what you think. This worked for Hitler, Stalin, Mao Tse-tung (one of Anita Dunn’s favorite political philosopher). Which I guess gets me back to my original question, why the attack on Fox News. Simply put, they will not be controlled by the White House. They are checking facts before reporting. They are not re-reporting what is delivered to them by theWhite House press corps. If you can believe the ratings system then more people are wanting the product that Fox News delivers and controlling the other news outlets could be inconsequential.

I’ve noticed that we haven’t heard a whole lot on global warming lately and was curious as to why not. Is it not an important topic anymore…are there other things more important to worry about these days. Sure a nuclear Iraq is something that we should worry about and maybe that jumped up in priorities. I just didn’t understand because it certainly was a pot of boiling water (excuse the pun) a few years ago.
The BBC recently had an article asking the same question and it appears that we haven’t observed an increase in global temperatures in the last 11 years. But wait a minute, didn’t Al Gore receive a Nobel Prize because of his movie, An Inconvenient Truth, and his drumbeating of the coming armageddon that is global warming.
Al Gore was recently speaking to about 500 environmental journalists (that’s a friendly audience) sharing his optimism about the “shifting momentum” on the climate change (we don’t call it global warming anymore). But what he wasn’t ready for was a question from Phelim McAleer, an Irish filmmaker who asked Gore to address nine errors in his film identified by a British court in 2007. They had a little debate about whether polar bears were endangered, as the movie pointed out, and proved to be false. But what was interesting is what happened next. Al Gore couldn’t answer the question and so what do you do….turn the microphone off. If your not comfortable facing facts then silence the questioner.
As you can probably tell, I’m not on the global warming (or climate change) bandwagon because man is fairly inconsequential when it comes to making changes to the planets temperature. The amount of carbon dioxide (CO2), sulfur dioxide (SO2) and hydrogen chloride (HCl) expelled by a volcano has more of an effect on climate that what is produced by man. All of the cap and trade, regulations, laws and fines will not stop the planet from continuing to change as has naturally occurred since the beginning of time. The only people that will benefit from any climate change tax or regulation are the groups, lobbyists or individuals that force cities or countries to adopt such draconian measures.
So, are you willing to pay more for everything based on a concept (man made global warming) that has been shown to be false…or at best not completley being straight with the facts. Will fear mongering and doomsday speeches, movies and testimonials from celebrities (like they know) get you on the green express. Just remember that once you loose a freedom you don’t get it back. Consider all the facts before you commit to being green.
