What I Don't Get About
Liberals (and I used to be one). What's Right versus What Benefits Me
(what we believe in should be based upon principle, not about what
benefits us in the short term). Arnold at the Movies (this man lacks
realism). Stimulus Does not Have to Mean Pork (our economy can be
stimulated). Hollywood Celebrates Che Guevara
The Rush Section: The Bailout Cost (as you will see, Rush is not a
shill for the Republican party). How We Solve the Economic Crisis. The
World’s Largest Ponzi Scheme.
And look who is on the
cover of Townhall magazine.

Obama and Emanuel
Exonerated (proclaimed not guilty by their own lawyers, and the
news media buys this). Since Christmas is the gayest time of the year:
Why Not Let Gays Marry? Stay out of our Bedroom; But Aren't People
Simply Born Gay? You Can't Legislate Morality; Hate Crime Legislation;
Young People and Gayness. And because we are most assuredly in the
midst of a global warming crisis: Arnold Explains Global Warming. Top
Ten Global Warming Predictions. NY Time proclaims: Bush Caused the
Economic Meltdown. My Letter to Kay Baily Hutchinson. Old Polish Joke
The Rush Section: Hypocrisy, Charity and Perception; Rush Explains a
Ponzi Scheme; Palin versus Kennedy/Schlossberg; The Obama Legacy; The
Cars Aren't the Problem; The Draw of Madoff; DidSchumer and the Media
Kick our Recession into High Gear? Will Obama Faithful Realize they
have been had? Barney Franks Disparages Rick Warren.

Now is the Time to Get
Rich—you will look back on these days as one of the best times in your
life to make money. Is Fitzgerald any good? The press keeps telling me
that he is aggressive, nonpartisan, and good; I don’t buy it. 60
Minutes on Foreclosures—a good show, but much of the story is not told.
Click and Clack Favor Higher Taxes—I did not realize how political
these guys were. Top 10 PC List for US Schools—it has been a fine year
in our schools for politically correct behavior. Doctor's Opinion of
the Bailout (you may have already seen this...). I Admit My Mistakes.
Rush Section: The World's Largest Ponzi Scheme (social security).
Rush Interviews VP Cheney (Rush excels at interviewing, in case you
didn’t know). Rush Responds to Colin Powell. Powell, McCain and
Blagojevich (how do we tie them altogether?). AP Calls Obama
Inexperienced—oh, really? How the Left Gets Approve for More
Taxes—yeah, we don’t really pay enough yet, do we? Drive-By's Start to
Get Testy with Obama (adt). Obama: Our Schools Will Continue to Suck

It is a shorter issue this
week, and it took me longer to put it together. Perhaps I am
getting old?
Obama "Meets the Press" Tom
Brokaw did someting in this interview which I have never seen done
before, and no one has said a word about it. Will this be the way other
reviewers deal with Obama? Foreclosure Moratorium—why this is a stupid
idea. Global Warming Update—I am still amazed as to how many of my
friends still buy into this. How many severe winters will it take
before they realize they have been duped? The Washington Atheists—if
they are going to put up signage, then we get to too.
The
Rush Section: Remember Obama's Changing Stories? Don’t think this is
going to stop just because he is presidential elect. He will keep
floating and revising his story until he finds one which seems to work,
and he goes with that. How long are we going to say, "Okay, that’s
fine." Obama's vision for America—he does have ideas, and they are a
little scary. How Did Michelle Obama Get Her Job? This is where
corruphttp://kukis.org/blog/ConservativeReview53.htmt politics may rise
up and bite Obama in the butt. Would You Buy a Car from Congress? Rush
Has Been Fired too (one of these days, I will lisall the jobs I have
been fired from as well).

part in this?

What's Obama Going to Do?
My best guesses (everyone is wondering this). Bush, Obama and the Auto
Industry—what is really going on here? Automakers and the Press—how the
press deals with this and what they will not tell us.
HowObamaGotElected.com—it is getting better all the time. Bill O'Reilly
on Obama and Torture
The Rush Section: This Solves a Recession? Auto Industry is Doing Fine
(in the South). Automakers Bailout; What About Big Education? Central
Planning Wants to Set House Prices; Does Obama Want to be President?
They Need New Experts (the experts are surprised with every twist and
turn of the economy). What Happened to Ethics? Cap-and-Trade Explained;
Power No Longer Corrupts (another example of how the news template will
change with Obama in charge). We Need to Think like Socialists

The Joe Biden Prophecy Watch (great title which I stole from the guys
on the Wall Street Journal Watch). Obama's Economic Reality (just
look
at his background and education; what do you think his economic
policies are?). FDR's Economic Policies (just a reminder of our
past,
in case you see some familiar proposals next year. Bush's
Economic
Blind Spot (like most conservatives, I did not support the
Bush/Pelosi/Reid/McCain/Obama bailout package; and certainly, I agree
that Bush spends too much money). Bailing out the Auto Industry
(this
could be easy). Open Letter to Obama—I realize, the email
comments is
just so they can evangelize me and ask for money. Rahm Revisited
(I
got a few things wrong). Liberalism a Mental Disorder (written by
someone else).
The Rush
Section: The Auto Bailout is
the Union Bailout (you can’t stop it). Connecticut Judge: Gay
Marriage
is Okay (wait till judges start making laws that you don’t like).
Radical Groups to Obama: It's Payback Time (they got Obama through the
primary and the election; and it is time for him to pay back his
debts). The Failure Factory (a Rush Interview)—I’ll admit that
Sean
Hannity sometimes appears to have no clue on how to interview a
subject; Rush, on the other hand... Do You Want Pelosi Designing
Your
Car? Voters Made Rich by Bush Vote Obama (look at the
stats).

Intolerance and Hatred from the Left (this is not going to just
disappear; hatred does not just disappear). Obama's First Press
Conference—a very sober Obama answers a grand total of 3 or 4 questions
on the economy, spending exactly 10 minutes on the economy (after
reading a 6 minute statement). McCain Camp Throws Palin under
Bus?
There may be more here than meets the eye. McCain's Campaign
Mistakes—there were a lot of them. I might expose you to a
conspiracy
theory next week which is running through my head. US Warned by
Iran—world powers have just begun to test a transitioning
government.
A Missive to Barrack Obama—I write Obama a letter. A Civil
Transition
Period—unlike 8 years ago. Their Silence Ends—remember those
people
(the radical Obama friends/guys from the neighborhood) who would not
say word one during the past few months? Now they are
talking.
Kucinich Norms out? Is that possible? What About Rahm
Emanuel?
Comments from Obama supporters and others.
- The Rush
Section: The Obama Recession has Begun—is Rush exaggerating
here? Obamaites will do what it takes to keep power—we are going
to
see some great changes when it comes to holding power. The Obama
Internet Army-Ready and Poised. Bailout Money to Provide Lawyers
for
Mortgage Executives (blame Bush, Pelosi, Reid, McCain and Obama
here).
Driveby's Discussion Obama's Radicalism—now, mainstream media starts to
discuss just how radical Obama is. Rush Muses Required Obama
Photo in
Classroom—when I was in Thailand, I saw the president’s (or prime
minister’s, or whoever) almost everywhere I went. Will that
become the
Obama legacy?

Mortgage Bailout. How Long is 20 Years? Survivor of the Great

Elections Have Consequences—you are not voting for the guy you like,
for the guy you want to have a beer with, or for the guy who makes you
feel good; this is the most powerful man on earth.
Obama-Speak/Liberal-Speak—not an email forward, but maybe it will
be? Journalism: Latest Pew Report—you probably knew this already:
the news has become an arm of the Obama campaign. Famous Obama
Quotes. Obama and Abortion—we are talking about millions of
babies here. Is there Something Wrong with $250,000?
The Rush section: The Government Wants Your 401K Plan—this is one of
the many pieces of legislation being crafted as we speak, in
anticipation of a majority of Democrats in Congress and an Obama
win. Obama Stands by "Spread the Wealth" He did not
missspeak. Standard Election Lie: Every major election, you will
hear some variation of this: Republicans will take away your medicare
and your social security. Liberals Need and Promote a Dependent
Class—solving poverty is not a good thing for liberals; it is a good
thing for conservatives. CNN Lies to Palin during
interview—another typical example of the media treating Palin
differently than Biden. Dems Promise Fairness Doctrine—if you
hate talk radio, maybe you hope this will happen? Ayers Compared
to Boston Tea Party Participants—maybe Ayers is not that bad?
Obama: Capitalism doesn't work. Sub-prime mortgage holder not a
victim.

Obama and the Plumber and
Joe the Plumber Part II (I must admit, I never thought this would end
up being a big story). Democrat Jennifer Brunner Limits Oversight—Ohio
Secretary of State does not care if voter registrations are legitimate?
Obama: Record versus Rhetoric—Obama promises a lot; what has he
actually done which squares with the gospel he is preaching? Obama's
Campaign Funds ACORN—Obama has some close ties to ACORN, but the
mainstream media is too busy with Joe the Plumber to investigate. ACORN
and Voter Fraud. ACORN Links (this is an evil organization). False
Liberal Agendas—we hear these things over and over again, and how good
they are. McCain vs Obama-Round Three—as a McCain supporter, I am glad
he finally did some good. Excellent moderator too, who got out of the
way and let them spar a bit. Free Speech under Obama—hahahahaha. The
Fairness Doctrine (what is it and is it fair?). More Ayers. Red Girl
Rising on Obama and the Media (I just discovered Red Girl Rising; she
seems to be writing more than I write). Will McCain Investigate FNMA?
Don’t hold your breath. I suggest you harangue your local Congressman.
Palin Crowd: Kill Him! Did someone really say this?
The Rush Section: Most of these are about either the media and its
misrepresentaion of Obama, or Obama lying about his own self (as we say
here in Texas). AP Misrepresents its Own Poll. Rush on Brunner. The
Media Attacks Joe the Plumber PT 1. Mainstream Media Trashes Joe. Is
Obama an Elitist? Hillary Supporter Cheated by Obama? How the
Electorate Makes its Decision (this is VERY sad!) Obama Sends out
Talking Points to Media (remember how many times people false claim
that the White House was sending out talking points to FoxNews?) The
Fairness Doctrine under Obama. Obama Lies about Small Businesses
(either that, or Obama has not got a clue).

So, Who is Stanley Kurtz?
This is one of the few reporters actually doing some investigative
reporting. Bush and FNMA—are Republicans really against regulations?
The Stock Market Crash? I am not sure if this will answer all your
questions, but it may answer some of them. Why is Ayers Important? So
what if Obama knew a terrorist? Does that really matter? (Real)
Campaign Finance Reform. Did you notice what was not covered in the
so-called debate? Global Warming Question for Libs. Troopergate (a
short review). Obama and ACORN—is there a relationship?
The
Rush Section: Bo Snerdley, Official Obama Criticizer (If you read
nothing else in the Rush section, read this; Bo is hilarious!)
$250,000/Year American Dream Limit—the government wants to insure the
American dream; just don’t take it too far. Palin/McCain Encouraging
Hatred? What about these accusations? Who Really Ought to Sacrifice?
NBC Edits SatNiteLive Skit

The Bailout—what were the options? What can go wrong? Why
object to a
government bailout? What did the government not do? Huge
Maverick
Mistake—McCain missed his chance with this bail out to be the
maverick. Why Did McCain do it? I will make a few guesses
here. What
happens now? Palin/Biden Square off—a few comments on this
debate. It
looked like a fair fight, but was it? Was the moderator really
fair?
It is Surreal—the life and times we are living in.
The Rush Section: Rush's Take on the Bailout Plan. Not much of
TalkRadio liked this plan. Rush was one of many who opposed
it. ACORN
Pressured Banks to Make Bad Loans, which is part of the problem of
these bad mortgages. Dems Fight Against FNMA Regulations—plus,
you can
see them on video, saying, “No reason to regulate FNMA or FHLMC” when
Bush pushed for it. Few Reported Honestly on this Bail-out — this
was
quite sad, but our news reporting is dead; it is all spin now.
Who's
to Blame Matters — if we want to deal with this problem, we ought to
know who and what caused it. Obama: Put out the fire first.

Review #42 (September 28, 2008) HTML PDF
The Conservative Review is back! I spent 2 weeks living like an
environmentalist after Hurricane Ike (I did burn a lot of gasoline,
however). It’s nice to have electricity and the Internet
again. I am
assuming that Ike was quite destructive...I did not have TV in order to
inform me. In the 30 years I have lived in Houston, it is the
worst I
have seen (although I heard that Hurricane Alicia left piles of glass 5
and 6 feet high in downtown Houston). Community Reinvestment Act is
part of the cause of the mortgage crisis. Might be good for you
to
know a little bit more about it. Snooze-fest Debate—it bored me
too.
Tax Breaks for 95% of All Americans—McCain just needs to slap Obama
down over this. It is a flat out lie. More Obama
Lies. Let me
explain what Bush Tax Cuts for the Rich actually is. Insane Palin
Haters—this stuff is really good. It has gone beyond mere hatred
to
paranoia and other forms of insanity. These are real articles;
they
are not satire. Obama, Community Organizer by Michelle Malkin.
Old
news, I know, but let me explain what happened: Obama Puts Lipstick on
a Pig. What is the secondary mortgage market? What happened
to it?
I’ll give you a few answers in Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae. We
Need to
Protect Main Street is one of the phoney things Obama has been
saying.
I’ll tell you why this is phoney. What I Don't Quite Understand
[about
the secondary mortgage market]. I realize that we have come to
some
kind of bill on this crisis for tomorrow’s vote; however, I will still
submit: Solutions to the Credit Crunch.
The Rush
Section: More Clinton
Bombs—I hope that you have been tuned in to what Bill has been
saying.
I think Obama should have picked his wife. Media Reaction to the
Debate (given 24 hours before the debate). Obama's Corrupt
Campaign
Advisors—some of the people on Obama’s team have some involvement with
FNMA and FHLMC. More from Bill Clinton. Two good rants by
Rush on the
Financial Crisis and he explains, Dems Have the Votes and Bush;
Why
not do the $700 Billion Bailout? Rush Advices McCain: Turn Sarah
Loose
(McCain’s campaign pays a lot of attention to Rush). And a great
little article: Desperate Obama Supporters.

Conservative Review #41 (September
7, 2008): HTML
PDF
Question for Obama (the Annenberg Challenge is going to dog Obama’s
campaign); TV this Week (Obama is on O’Reilly?). Quotes of the
Week—great quotes from Obama, Palin and Fred Thompson. Vids of the
Week—huge list this week...links to several RNC speeches, Obama on
national defense, a campaign spot for the other female candidate that
McCain could have picked. Predictions—lots this week. Observations of
the Week—why our unemployment jumped. Missing Headlines—these should
have been the headlines that you saw, but, I bet you didn’t. Palin
has no Experience? This article actually deals more with the
strategy and chess playing which McCain has done. Liberals and liberal
media fell right into McCain’s trap. Why Do Feminists Hate Palin?
My opinion here (of course). No one has ever thought that Palin was
McCain’s way of picking up Clinton voters—if you think that was the
plan, then you were blind sided and outsmarted by McCain. The Other
Women and Palin—here is the other half of McCain’s strategy, and it
required the media and liberals to go on a frenzy against Palin. Comparison
of the Conventions—just a few glaring differences in these
campaigns; did you notice these things as well. Katrina Version 2.0—remember
how Katrina was a media story for months and month? Gustav and the
response got about a day’s worth of attention this time. By the way,
even Rush gave kudos to Mayor Nagin this time around. More Obama
and Ayers—you have no idea what is about ready to break out in the
news. Is Obama a Bad Man? Nope. My Mistaken Notion and My
Shortcomings in Evaluating Palin—there are some things which I did
not quite get in all of this. US Weekly Looks at Palin—in case
you did not see how US Weekly treated Palin compared to Obama, it is
egregious. Sarah's Friends/Obama's Friends—just where are
Obama’s friends from the past making speeches on his behalf? Trooper-Gate—a
short explanation as to what is going on. Obama and the Media
Attacks on Palin—they fell right into McCain’s trap and The
Media Screws Itself. More Proof of Media Bias—as if you
need it. Slick Strategy—it is a chess game, and it requires
judgment and looking ahead and seeing what your opponent is going to
do.
The Rush Section: Palin: Religious Fanatic, Global Warming Denier—undeniable
proof of each. Obama Puts Clinton on Ticket?—You don’t think it
is possible? McCain Speech-Rush Yells at him only once—maybe
Rush is mellowing out? Palin Wants Alaska to Secede? Maybe you
have heard about this. Caller Sees What Rush Does not—this is a
brilliant observation. Obama Warns of Global Warming—I don’t
know if you have noticed, but Obama has not spent much time dealing
with global warming. Palin has him so punchy, that Obama is warning the
yokels about it to give them more reasons to go to church and hug their
guns.

Predictions (what to expect
next). (Queen Palin to King's Bishop 6) Check and Mate—McCain picks
Tina Fey as his running mate. Press Scrutiny of Palin (what to expect).
Obama and William Ayers (what the press is not scrutinizing).
Democratic Convention (Day by Day) (I promise you, it is not too long).
Palin's Speech (the text and links to the actual video). FoxNews @ the
Democratic Convention (the Democrats love free speech and let FoxNews
know how much). Barack's Acceptance Speech (full text). Wreck the
Nation (the new game). Black Republicans Against Obama (small website,
wrong approach). School Choice Should be Their Issue (this is what
Black Republicans ought to be making an issue of). And articles by
others: I want my Country Back by Joe Porter; Bush is Evil by Richard
O'Leary; 2008 Democrat National Convention (Schedule of Events).
The Rush Section: Bo
Snerdley Disses Michelle (Bo Snerdley is worth the price of admission).
Carter Calls Obama a Black-Boy (really; what if McCain had said this?).
Drive By's Want Gustav to Hit New Orleans (many of them don’t believe
in God, but they are praying, nonetheless). The Speech Bill Clinton
Wanted to Give. Obama Shuts Down Criticism in Denver (this gives you an
idea of why we ought not to criticize Obama). Putin Blames Darth Vader
(he has learned from his Democratic brethren). Questions Obama has for
Palin (stuff Palin knows about that Obama does not).

Viewer Warning: unusually harsh cartoon.
Obama the Baby Killer? For
about 10 minutes, this seemed to be a very serious debate, and then,
suddenly, it disappeared. I should warn you, the cartoon on this page
is quite harsh and you may want to skip over it. If it did not
represent the truth, I would not have put it in. True Political
Corruption—we continually fund the campaigns of candidates that we do
not approve of...who will fix this problem? Brilliant Suggestion to
McCain—what to do for his RNC speech. 2nd Brilliant
Suggestion to McCain: who should he pick for his running mate? You have
not heard this name yet... Our Soldiers in Georgia—why are our soldiers
in Georgia delivering aid? How did this effect a cease fire. New Obama
Book—the book that came out last week had some inaccuracies. However,
notice, Obama is not saying anything about this book. Our Corrupt
Media—I assume that they must be on the Obama payroll. Unabashed plug
for FoxNews. Censorship in America—one example.
The Rush Section: Democratic Party's Parade of Victims—Democrats fall
prey to this year after year...people who are having a tough time are
trotting out to tell their sad stories, and, somehow, we are to think
that the Dems will fix it. 3% of the World's Population Take Most Gold
(why not? We use 25% of the world’s energy). Raj in Houston Calls
Rush—not a victim. I Have a Dream! What is the record of civil rights?
Obama and Infanticide. The media moved on quite quickly after this.
Since they are in the tank for Obama, you can’t blame them. Bicycle
Lanes Bad for Environment? Arnold and Obama on the Energy Crisis. Don’t
think that Rush is simply a mouthpiece for Republicans. Whatever you do
for the least of My brothers (Obama and his brother).

Question for Obama. Did You
See the first Debate? Russia, Georgia-the Big Picture—it is a war for
oil. What Will Happen? (I will try to collect these under the same
heading from hereon in). God is saying, "Wake Up, America" Expelled-No
Intelligence Allowed (very low reviews and DVD is coming out). Blacks
are Inferior (according to liberal programs over the past 40 years).
Corsi's Obama Nation—finally, the media wants to investigate someone’s
background. Obama's Response to Corsi. Why Press Reveals Edwards Affair
Now. Dick Durbin on the Oil Companies (this man has no concept of what
a business is, how a business is run, or what free enterprise is all
about). Floyd Brown Ads (what do you think of this ad?).
And the Rush Section: US and Iraq = Russian and Georgia? Our Military is in
Georgia. Are you Shocked that Communists Lie? This War is About Oil.
The Truth About Oil (History Channel Special). Why isn't Obama Doing
Better? The Mainstream media wants to know. The Clinton (not Obama)
Convention. The APA to Make us Think Green. Dems Celebrate Bill Clinton
yet Shun Edwards.

Question for Obama; Quote of the Week; Quote of the Week #2; Vid of the

Is she really out of this race? VEEPSTAKES Surprise—a surprise
suggestion for McCain. Oprah's Vision of Education—this could have been
a much better program if she was not tied to Obama, whose plan for
education is, surprise, more taxing, more spending, and increased pay
for teachers. White House Sends out Talking Points—where did this idea
come from? Conservative Talk Radio and TV. Obama and McCain on Russia's
Attack—compare what they said, side-by-side. Why Trust Democrats in
War? Wind Power versus Nuclear Power (admittedly, not polished, but you
will get the idea. Letter in the Sacramento Bee (another of the 20 or
so I have submitted, but they will not print). The Rush Section: The

You Trust? Democrats blame Republicans and Republicans blame
Democrats for high energy prices. Arguing for Dems on War—an
argument made in favor of the Democrats which resulted in a good
outcome. Don't Give Bush Credit! Many things are going
right; is Bush ever credited for any of them? And two articles by
Richard O’Leary: “Environmentalism is not about the Environment” and
“O'Leary Rants about Obama's Trip”
The Rush Section: Bo Snerdley-Official Obama Criticizer. Rush:
Don't Criticize Obama Flip-Flops. China is Buying all the
SUV's. Obama/McCain Polls Stump Drive-By's. Obama Arrogance
Begins to Grate Press. Maybe this is Why Gore Won't Debate (Gore
V. Limbaugh 1992). Pelosi Shuts Down Drilling Debate.

Question for Obama—props
to Couric for her full-court press; will someone take it one step
further?
Quote of the Week—who
knew Napoleon could be so relevant?
Vid of the Week—if
you have not seen the Obamessiah, this is a must see!
Obama's Primary
Weakness—I don’t think I have seen any conservative columnist

Obama's Plan for
Iran's Nuclear Development—who knew it could be this
simple? Maybe Obama does know what he is doing?
Obama's Plan for
Afghanistan—Can you say surge?
November Prediction—who

John Edwards [not]

Obama and the Vet
Hospital in Germany—who thinks this reveals good judgment?
Obama's
Qualifications—let me know if I missed any of his
qualifications; I believe that I listed them all.
Speaking of
Michelle Obama—I realize that by quoting Michelle Obama, that
it can be seen as an attack on Obama’s wife...such a moral
dilemma.
Criticism of Obama?
One quick tally of what Obama tells us is out of bounds.
Thomas Sowell on
Subprime Lenders—I’ve been talking about this in previous
issues, but Sowell nails this topic.
Addendum to FHLMC
and FNMA—the suff I forget to tell you about these guys.
Obama, McCain and
the NY Times—probably nothing new here...just access to
Obama’s article, McCain’s article and the NY Times email explaining how
McCain might get his article published.
Props to Brokaw—I
thought that he asked Al Gore some good questions.
Iowa VS. New Orleans—you
may have seen this.
Obama Policy Shifts—link
to one very good article; but they are even more extensive than this.

I must admit, I went a little crazy this

on my back for a few days, I'd get up, write, and then lay back down
again. There was a lot of classic Rush, although I could not find
the quote where he said, "Obama, 278 days after promsing to, finally
went on Chris Wallace's program for an interview. By the way, 278
days--that's 2 years for you people in Rio Linda."
Is Obama a liar? There are only 3
options here...you make the call.

one of
the lowest-rated movies of all time by professional movie
critics. (3)
Obama allows himself (finally) to be interviewed by Chris
Wallace.
Obama is ready and comes off well. (4) There is a movement afoot
to
put government in charge of as many things as possible. There is
a
reason for this. Before you surrender to government-run health
care,
read "Let Me Pull it All Together for You." (5) Finally, just to
prove
that Rush is not an arm of the Republican party, he goes after McCain,

Review #16: 3/16/08 HTML PDF
There are two primary topics covered in this issue: Barack Obama
presents himself as a man of excellent judgment and he will be meeting
with all of the enemies of the United States, presumably because he is
so smart, so perceptive and so able to move someone over to buckle to
US demands with words. If he is this smart, how is it possible
that
Obama sat under a racist Black, separatist pastor, and yet, never had a
clue? Does this show good judgment? Does this show human
insight?
The second point is, the Democratic party cannot seem to run a sensible
primary--the Democratic primary is insane, convoluted, and the
super-delegates can overrule the people...now, these same people who
cannot organize a simpe primary think that they are capable of running
our health care system, something which is infinitely more
complex.
Does this make even a little sense?

War and the Christian

For
some, this is a very troubling question; what should be the Christian's
attitude toward war? After all, Jesus told us to forgive those
who have wronged us; He told us to turn the other cheek, and He told us
to love our enemies. Could anything be more clear? Does
this mean that, if we face a home invasion or if Muslims attack us
that, we open up our arms and give them a big hug? Should we talk
it out? In this essay, I will give you two very simple tests so
that you can determine, if and when we are fighting the right enemy.
Global Warming--the
New Age Religion (2/28/07) HTML
PDF
It might be possible that religion is a necessary component of the soul
(apart from those who try to blot out their own souls with drugs,
alcohol or sex); and that means that there are many at the left of the
political spectrum who, since they often do not have any real faith in
God, they must create their own religion. This essay, partially
inspired by listening to Rush Limbaugh, takes the fundamental
components of many religions and finds parallels in the cause of global
warming.
The Rush link, btw, is http://www.rushlimbaugh.com/home/daily/site_022707/content/global_warming_is_a_religion.guest.html
(no idea how long this will remain posted)
Emotional Revolt of the Soul
of the Liberal
Something
just occurred to me, and maybe this has seemed obvious already to many
of you. Since I was raised in California, I still have a lot of
liberal friends there, and often, their thinking and reasoning astounds
me. Many have a profound hatred for President Bush and ascribe
the most hateful motives to him for the Iraq War (e.g., revenge on
Sadam; the seizing of their oil reserves; or he just wanted to go down
in history as a great president, and what better way to do this than by
being remembered for a great war), as well as for other things which he
has done. These are relatively intelligent people who come up
with the weirdest thoughts. To them, Bush can’t simply be wrong
or misguided; there has to be a more nefarious reason than that.
One
of these friends, who knows history quite well (he has taught history)
compares Barack Obama to John Kennedy. He sees Obama as the
Kennedy of this generation. Now, in all fairness, FDR, Truman and
Kennedy would probably all be to the right of Bush, politically
speaking, if they were around today. If one were to try to aptly
compare Obama to anyone, I think politically, he is very much like
former President Carter, both in his politics, points of view and his
lack of experience. But this is not how the liberal feels.
Obama feels like Kennedy to him.
I
saw Whoopi Goldberg on Bill O’Reilly the other night, and it was a very
good interview; and she stated, in so many words, “I take this
political position because this is how I feel; this is who I am. I may
not know all of the specifics, but I can’t deny what my heart
feels” (this is not an exact quote, by the way). Bill did
not get all up in Whoopi’s face for this, because she was giving an
honest answer, which is what he is chiefly after.
Now
let me pull this together (and what I am saying might have been obvious
to most of you years ago, for all I know). These liberals are in
emotional revolt. What they believe is based upon how they
feel. Of course, there is the vacuum of the soul, and when they
reject the truth, their souls suck in falsehood; but when they take a
stand, it is not because they are stupid or ignorant, but it is because
this is how they feel deep inside. So, when a liberal imputes
evil motives to someone else, like Bush, it is because Bush is so out
of step with what they are feeling, that whatever position he takes, it
has to come from a deep place in his soul which is evil, since he is
perceived as being so fundamentally different from them (strictly an
emotional reaction). Since they perceive Bush as being so
different from them, what he does must be evil, as what is in the
liberal’s soul cannot possibly be evil (how does that Who song
go? “No one know what it’s like to be the bad guy”). Their
reaction to Bush is visceral—very similar to the reaction to Nixon many
years ago—they feel revulsion and disrespect. When evaluating
what Bush does, they go to this place in their soul to determine his
motivation for doing what he does. Therefore, they only
reasonable thing they can do is impute motives of evil to Bush.
A
close friend of mine, the ex-history teacher, feels about Obama the way
he felt about Kennedy. It has nothing to do with Obama’s specific
positions, although those positions match the soul of my friend; but it
is more of a visceral reaction to Obama. Things like Obama’s
limited political background are seen as far less of an issue than how
Obama feels to him.
It
was reflecting back on Whoopi’s interview which put these things
together for me. She admitted that she could not necessarily back
up with details all that she believes in, but, she cannot deny how she
feels, and that is the place from which she must take a position.
Related
to this are certain buzz-words, which also penetrate the souls of these
people. War is one of the most evil things in this world to them,
and no one can deny that is a reasonable, visceral reaction.
Therefore, anything which is related to war is extremely wrong and evil
and they can easily impute evil motivation for those who involve us in
war, because war itself is so evil and wrong. Interestingly
enough, they react differently to the words civil war, even though
sometimes there is little difference between a civil war and genocide
(apart from the latter being a more lopsided civil war). A
liberal sees a civil war as something which is necessary now and again
to restore the authority of government to the people (again, this comes
from the emotional revolt in their souls). Liberals are therefore
more than willing to step back and let a civil war play itself out;
however, they are going to become concerned if someone that they
respect labels this a genocide instead. Then they might be
willing to become involved. A genocide is no longer a civil war,
but evil oppression and violence, and the ones being killed are
automatically good (which, in some cases, is correct) and the ones
doing the killing are the ones who are evil (again, something which can
be a correct estimation of the situation).
Viewing
liberals from the vacuum in their souls helps to explain a great many
things, including the many contradictory positions which they
take. This is how a liberal can be all hyped up about global
warming, and yet remain staunchly anti-nuclear and anti-hydraulic
power. They associate nuclear with weapons and war, and nuclear
is just plain bad and evil. Even though we have lost far more
people in the retrieval and refinement of fossil fuels than in the
function of nuclear power plants, the actual stats are not an issue to
them. Nuclear is a word which is embedded deeply in their souls
as a bad thing. They of course oppose hydraulic power because it
radically changes the environment, which is a whole other issue, but
related to the darkness in their souls.
This
emotional revolt in their souls explains how relatively intelligent
people can make ridiculous analogies like, “Bush is Hitler.” Or,
this is how a liberal can give a speech on some awards program with
millions of people watching, and make some political statement that
they think the government is trying to silence, even though the
government did not interfere with their politically-charged film and
even though they are on television speaking to millions of
people. This is how large numbers of liberals will proclaim a
film like Syriana as being bold and daring, as if they are some

hearts, which they cannot deny.
