Arrogance - Thy Name is Obama
During a commercial at another station, turned to MSNBC to get the democratic talking points. I was surprised to see a segment by the New York Times campaign edition. I was able to get many democratic talking points anyhow. Apparently, the democratic New York Times and the democratic MSNBC have joined forces. Should I be surprised? Of course not. NewsWeek has been a democratic carrier of news for some time - hired the originator of DailyKos. MSNBC, NewsWeek, and the New York Times have been losing readers and viewers dramatically for some time. Don’t you think the Obama campaign should pay them as well as all the campaign spots he puts out in other areas of media?
I was glad to see that the Gray Lady’s quarterly earnings were down 82%. I will be glad when the Gray Lady shows her true colors and goes dark. The only people who read the New York Times and watch MSNBC are rabid Democrats, and not even the most rabid. The real rabid Democrats read DailyKos, Moveon.org, Huffington Post, and other slimy outlets.
Oil and gas efforts by the oil companies have been stopped dead by Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid, and the majority of people harmed by the high prices for gas at the pump are those in flyover country, and these are people who are mostly ignored by all the politicians. I would hope that all those in flyover country would call their representative and Senator (plus Nancy and Ole Harry) and let them know what you feel about this. Someone has to take on the Democrats and environmentalists, in their unpatriotic fervor,to keep this country from becoming completely independent on energy, and that does not set well with the U.N. lovers and those who want an international flavor to our country, even if it’s a detriment to our country.
The Republicans in Congress and any Democrats who want to lower prices of gas, get behind the small town of Elk Point, South Dakota with their desires to get their new refinery on line that will process 400,000 barrels of oil daily from our next door neighbor Canada with their tar sands. I would think this would be good for NAFTA. Efforts should be made by the Republicans to take away the obstacles that the Democrats and environmentalists will place in their way, as usual. Also, they should try to encourage other towns to follow Elk Point’s lead.

- Bob Novak says how reprehensible it was for the McCain campaign to hint they were about to put out their Vice Presidential pick and didn’t.
Let’s Free Ourselves From Vermont, California, and Code Pink!
Vermont wants to secede from the Union - please let them! President Bush is not welcomed there, but child molesters are and they have special privileges. What kind of citizens live there who allow judges to do what they like and not what the law says? In my opinion, the citizens of Vermont are as much to blame as their judges are.
California - now that California is experiencing the worst fire season in many years, the Governor has called out the military to help put out the fires. How come they didn’t call out Code Pink? I wonder if they would allow these military men into their air terminals and not confine them to the tarmac. Also, I wonder if the rats were burned out - you know, the environmental kooks “protected” an area from military needs because they were endangered. Another question - will the citizens of California allow firefighters from other states and other countries to go through their airport terminals? I can feel sympathy for the average citizen of California, however, any houses that are burned, I would hope, would be those of the liberal elitists, environmental wackos or those of members of Code Pink - in fact, I think the military should have these houses of Code Pink members pointed out to them so they could ignore fires in that area. I think if San Francisco has another earthquake, they will call out the military, not Code Pink.
Where was T. Boone Pickens when Clinton vetoed drilling in ANWR in 1996 (12 years ago)? Wonder if it would have been on line by now? Of course it would. They both had no foresight, but at least T. Boone didn’t veto the bill. Talk about foresight. Clinton sure had it, especially when he allowed Janet Reno and Jamie Golerick to separate communications between the FBI and CIA, and THEN he enforced it. Would you say he brought on 9/11? I think so!
Oh, by the way… then Jamie Golerick went to Freddy Mac and Fanny Mae and received a $23 million separation package. Another Clinton aide, Franklin D. Raines, took over Freddy and Fannie and was kicked out for fraud. There was a $6 billion shortage. Do you think it made any difference in the onset of the current mortgage crisis? Of course it did.

Changing minds caused by changing circumstances, being called “flip-flopping” goes completely against the history of this country. After Carter, with 14% unemployment and 21% interest rates, you would think that no citizen, even a democrat, would want to vote for someone like Obama, who endorses the same policies as Carter did, with his windfall profits tax, and the elemental stages of wearing sweaters, adjusting to NO gas, rationing, long gas lines, American citizens held hostage, and Americans ashamed of their country abandoning hope and faith for the future. Thank God the voters voted him out and Reagan in (with his optimism), saying what we SHOULD be - a shining city upon a hill and a beacon to the rest of the world and leading the country in THAT direction. He strengthened our military calling for the Star Wars defense system, and he defeated the Communist party of the USSR, now split up - some of them even in NATO.
Now, as far as changing minds to meet new circumstances, MacArthur, a military man of high repute in World War II, did a masterful job in the re-construction of Japan after the war. However, in Korea, as military commander, he over-stepped his authority and was fired by President Truman and Truman was lambasted by the American people for his action. Truman also changed his mind on dropping the A-bomb after a study was made of how many millions of casualties there would be on both sides if we had tried a land invasion. There are still some liberals who condemn him for his actions. Those World War II veterans who lived because of his actions, no doubt, are thankful for his decision.
There is no doubt that Eisenhower, Roosevelt, Churchill, Truman, Admiral Nimitz, Admiral Halsey, and General Patton all changed their minds as circumstances changed during the war, or we would have LOST the war. The greatest program of the Eisenhower administration, and one of the major causes of our growth after World War II was the interstate/highway system, which was a circumstance of him seeing how a modern road system of major highways had helped in Germany’s growth and in their military prowess.
