Many writers have waxed long about why obama rules the way he does. Was it because of his father? Or his long association with mark davis? Or that his mother abandoned him? Liberals are very one dimensional "thinkers", to use that term, I admit is a stretch. They cannot see beyond their views, but profess themselves to be deep thinkers. Yet, daily their plans and programs go bad in the real world. Probably because the real world is 3 dimensional, and for their every "action" there are ramifications they never thought about. If they live in their cloistered halls of...

i've reposted this under a different title ( from last friday ), in hope that some national host will run with this total slam in the face of all Americans. Obama continues to seriously harm this country

http://www.defensedaily.com/publications/dd/White-House-Moves-To-Restrict-DoE-Nuclear-Research_9090.html The White House has proposed barring Energy Department research on fast reactor recycling of nuclear waste and technical support for licensing of small, modular light-water reactors, drawing protests from Energy Secretary Steven Chu that such prohibitions will have broad adverse effects, including hurting the U.S. nuclear industry's renaissance; crimping U.S. ability to influence other countries' fast reactor designs to address proliferation concerns; and taking away nuclear waste disposal options that might be considered by the administration's planned blue-ribbon panel on alternatives to the Yucca Mountain repository. The policy dispute inside the Obama administration was revealed in a Dec. 22...

Sometime around midnight, on July 18, 1969 Kennedy drove his Oldsmobile 88 off of a small bridge on Chappaquiddick island, into eight feet of chilly water. The vehicle landed upside-down. While Kennedy managed to free himself from the wreck and swim to safety, his passenger, 28-year-old Mary Jo Kopechne was left in the car to drown.

starting Jan 20th 2009, all good Americans should fly their flags at half mast. This is normally done for the death of a President or some grave happening or death of many ( like 9-11 ). this ego maniacal thug will cause the death of our country.

what ads should MCcain use , hopefully showing obama / biden in their own words, being who they really are? first, obama's assertion that "he was happy with $4 gas, only that it came quicker than he thought" second, biden: "isreal should get used to a nuclear armed Iran".

Since THE ONE thinks that our inflating our tires could save us from drilling, how come he has not gone after an even worse drain in some cars fuel economy? Since most of us keep our tires inflated properly, THE ONE's suggestion is nearly worthless ( as he is as well ). BUT(t) there is even a bigger source of bad economy on some cars, and in specific, on cars that belong to THE ONE's supporters: roof racks and bicycle racks ( with or without, with bicycles is worse ). These devices are left on cars cause a much higher...

Got this through the SOA network (Special Operations). You can take this to the bank. Since it has a name attached please exercise caution when sending it to others. I have taken the liberty of deleting the Captain's Name. Tom Gator 851. Sent: Tuesday, July 22, 2008 8:46 PM Subject: An Army Captain's view of Hussein Obama's Visit Subject: Obama's Visit Hello everyone, As you know I am not a very political person. I just wanted to pass along that Senator Obama came to Bagram Afghanistan for about an hour on his visit to "The War Zone". I wanted to...

We should every year remember the true story of Mary Jo's death, and how it revealed the true "character" of one Edward M Kennedy.

at least 3 times i have received an email from NewsMax asking that we " tell our congressmen to save money... by allowing EADS to build the next AF tanker". Does newsmax have the same people working for them as work for Mc Cain, paid lobbyists for EADS? When the news broke that Mc Cains' team includes those who have lobbied for EADS and this tanker contract, i thought all H*** was going to break loose, since McCain singlehandedly stopped the previous Boeing lease effort. Although that particular lease arrangement was highly suspect, it did not change the facts that...

A couple of times, rusty has criticized the Catholic Church : once recently involving a distorted and incorrect presentation of what happened to Galileo, and then later followed it up, with a sarcastic " the Catholic Church would just declare it wrong "...... What has made rushbo turn into this nasty anti-Catholic? Many of his closest friends and people he admires, are Catholic. Like Bill Bennet, William F. Buckley, etc. It is almost like something happend to rush, and he is bitter about it.

The House International Relations committee issued a report last week criticizing the FBI's investigation of the 1995 bombing of the federal building in Oklahoma City. The FBI failed to pursue credible information that Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols had help, the committee said. The FBI shouldn't have abandoned its search for John Doe No. 2, the committee said. Jayna Davis, then a reporter for a television station in Oklahoma City, said she found at least 20 witnesses who identified Hussain al-Hussaini, a former Iraqi soldier, as the man they saw with Timothy McVeigh. And the FBI should have investigated more...

Angelina Delivers Due Date By Sarah Hall Wed Apr 26, 3:08 PM ET The paparazzi detail on the Brangelina Baby Watch beat just got some bad news. Contradicting reports that she's due to pop any day now, Angelina Jolie has delivered word that she's not quite eight months pregnant. That means anxious shutterbugs can expect another full month of dodging Namibian officials, not to mention Jolie and Brad Pitt's aggressive security goons, if they want any chance of capturing the money shot of the most important and beautiful baby ever to be born, ever.

A new theory to explain global warming was revealed at a meeting at the University of Leicester (UK) and is being considered for publication in the journal "Science First Hand". The controversial theory has nothing to do with burning fossil fuels and atmospheric carbon dioxide levels. According to Vladimir Shaidurov of the Russian Academy of Sciences, the apparent rise in average global temperature recorded by scientists over the last hundred years or so could be due to atmospheric changes that are not connected to human emissions of carbon dioxide from the burning of natural gas and oil. Shaidurov explained how...

Too many of the troops are still being severely injured or killed by these "roadside bombs". Some anti-IED measures have been taken, cel phone jamming or things like that. Careful observation as they drive. But the latest weapons being brought in from Iran, the artillery shells with HE warheads, and armor piercing casings, are more difficult to defeat.Many years ago, the Army had a great Observation airplane, the OV-1 Mohawk, some had SLAR pods below their bodies, and, also, OV-10 Broncos were meant for battlefield surveillance.The Navy has used MAD gear for years, stuck out on booms behind Neptunes, Orions,...

Rush is starting to lose it again. What is he losing? his "high moral high ground". Remember when the rushbo started calling anyone who wanted klintoon out of office "kooks". Rush stated that in late 1998: " we might as well let Klintoon finish out his term ( the 2nd one ), for what can he do in his last two years". Plenty, most of us thought. Why is rush givng up? shortly after this, Drudge broke the Monica story and things changed with rush. Most of us disagreed, and feared what klintoon could do in his last two years....

Farewell to Europe 11/12/05 Not too long ago, the conventional wisdom was that Europe was going to emerge as a unified and mighty economic and political superpower. We were told it would engage in earnest, if friendly, competition with the United States, but that, thanks to its substantially larger population and productive capacity, the European Union (EU) would inevitably displace America on the world stage. It took less than a fortnight of rioting in France, and now in several other countries of what Donald Rumsfeld has called Old Europe, to lay bare the preposterousness of this prospect. Even before Islamists...

To the anti-war lobby, it was cause for jubilation. 'No Qa'eda-Iraq tie', crowed The New York Times. 'White House misled the world over Saddam', exulted our own Independent. And presidential candidate Senator John Kerry claimed that the Bush administration had 'misled America over the need for war'. The excitement was over a preliminary assessment of evidence about al-Qa'eda by the US commission investigating September 11. The only problem was that the press coverage was untrue. The report does not rule out links between Saddam Hussein and al-Qa'eda. On the contrary, as the commission's chairman, Thomas Kean, confirmed: 'There were contacts...

11/14/05 By Mortimer B. Zuckerman Foul-ups--Not Felonies Were the American people taken into war on false pretenses? That is the mushroom cloud of a question conjured up by the Senate Democrats' imposition of the rare closed-session discussion they held last week. Party leader Harry Reid accuses the Republicans of manipulating intelligence to justify the invasion, a serious charge that excites the media and disturbs a war-weary public. The central question is whether anyone in the executive branch had good reason prior to the war to believe that Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction. Let's look at the record. The...
