The Democratic Debate


This morning on MSNBC's "Morning Joe", David Axelrod- An Obama senior adviser said- "..in the debate last night, it took 50 minutes before they tackled any real issue that the people in Pennsylvania care about…"
I am from Pennsylvania and I want to know why Obama sat in that church for 20 years listening to a racist Preacher. After the Sept 11th attacks on the World Trade Towers, when Rev. Wright preached that America was responsible for the attacks, (the chickens coming home to roost) why did Obama attend this church for 6 more years after that..??
Why did Obama sit on a board with a fellow member that was a known terrorist..?? (William Ayers of the terrorist group- The weather underground.)
Why doesn't Obama wear a flag pin and why does his wife Michelle sound so bitter towards America..??
These ARE the questions that I wanted answered because they speak to a persons character.
We already know what each candidate "says they will do" from their speeches:
Both Hillary and Obama will let the Bush tax cuts expire. This will be a tax increase because average Americans will see a $1,000 to $2,000 dollar increase in yearly taxes. The wealthy will pay much more.
We know that both Obama and Hillary will raise the capital gains tax from 15% to possibly 20%. The capital gains tax doesn't just effect the rich. If you were selling a home, you would be surprised at how much more the government will get from you, by just increasing the tax 5%. (at 20%- the government gets $20,000 bucks from you, for every $100,000 dollar value of you home. You are left with $80,000. Why..?? You already pay a third of your income to the feds.)

We all know that Hillary and Obama are going to either FORCE, or offer some national health care system. But, they will over tax people who make $250,000 per year to achieve this. Some small business owners fall into this bracket.
Small business, that used to offer health care to their employees, will drop that health care because they cannot afford it with all the new taxes they must pay under the Obama and Hillary system.
Here is the problem that no democrat wants to talk about…
Both Hillary and Obama are counting on the amount of 50 million uninsured Americans (as reported today) remaining a "stable" figure.
However, I know a few small business owners, if you raise their taxes higher in this economy, they cannot afford to pay for employee health care or employee 401K programs. THEY WILL DROP BOTH programs..!!
Under the Obama and Hillary system, you will create 50 million MORE Americans without health insurance.
Both Hillary and Obama have NO plan to deal with 100 million uninsured Americans. (They are counting on the uninsured level remaining at 50 million.)
So now we will have a crisis.
Small business' will be blamed for dropping employee health care. But the only reason small business will drop health care is because of the high Hillary and Obama taxes. (On those making $250,000 per year.)
This falls on a basic principal that conservatives understand and liberals never learn.
Why do people start a business?
Liberals, (from listening to them talk) believe a person starts a business to-
Goal 1- become rich Goal 2- rip off the customers Goal 3- rip off the employees Goal 4- laugh all the way to the bank Hey, I might get some flack for this, but this is really how many liberals view the business owner.
The model above is so far from the actual truth.
If you have ever owned a business or managed a business, then you already know that if a business were run like that, it would be out of business in a month.
Most people, whom I know of, started a business because they were doing something BETTER than anyone else they knew of was. Plus, they were tired of working for someone else. Getting wealthy was far from reality because it takes TONS of money to start a business. (Don't believe me? Try starting a business. You will see that I am right.)
Here is the actual model many business owners follow. Goal 1- stay in business. (Do whatever "legally" you have to, to keep the doors open.) Goal 2- make the customer happy. (So they will return and tell others about your business.) Goal 3- make the employees happy. (It's too expensive to keep re-training new people. Happy employees will treat the customers better.) Goal 4- Pay the bills, then pay yourself. Goal 5- save enough money so that you can (one day) quit working so freaking hard. You can retire and give the business to your kids so they can bust their asses, while you lay on a beach somewhere.)
Understanding how small business works helps to understand why small business cannot afford higher taxes without "cutting something."
So we already know what Obama and Hillary are proposing.
The questions I wanted to know about are based on character.
I want to know WHY Obama listened to the Racist Rev. Wright for 20 years? Why Obama bought his house with the help of con man Tony Rezko? Why Obama was friends with a terrorist- William Ayers.
(If liberals were objective, they would be asking these kinds of questions. Because they ask them of President Bush all the time.)
I want to know why Hillary cannot keep her stories straight? Why she is drinking booze?
I want to know why McCain votes liberal?
So I am glad ABC News finally quizzed Obama and Hillary on questions of character.
("CAUSE" we all know their plans.)
Hillary and Obama will raise taxes on business owners who make $250,000 per year. This will "CAUSE" more Americans to be uninsured. This will "CAUSE" the government to raise taxes on the middle class. Which will "CAUSE" you to have less money tomorrow with a national health plan, then you would today if you bought your own health plan.
Which brings us to this weekend's editorial… "CAUSE" and effect. Written by AR Babonie for The Angry Republican

Science gets Expelled

Do you feel that if you wear a sweater inside your house to keep warm, you can make the Arctic ice shelf stop melting? Do you believe that if you drive your car less often, you can stop hurricanes and forest fires from happening? It sounds silly when you think of it in that way. However, you are not alone.
All through history people have believed some wild things. Men once believed that if they sailed too far out into the ocean, they would fall off the edge of the world.
Let me tell you about something that I believed since I was a child and just recently found out to be untrue:

All my life I believed that Galileo was thrown into prison by the Church because he believed the earth was NOT the center of the universe.
This is completely false.
The church never confronted Galileo on his scientific research. It wasn't until Galileo began to publicly decipher the Bible, which in those days was not permitted, without confiding in the church- first, that Galileo was arrested.
Galileo was never thrown in jail.
See, Galileo was a member of the church and therefore church rules applied to him.

Most famous scientists believed in religion.
Almost all of them. From Darwin, to Albert Einstein. From Galileo to Copernicus.
(Matter of fact, Copernicus was the Deacon of his church.)

Actually, (and this is really wild) it was a Catholic Priest who first presented the theory that the universe is expanding outwards from "some beginning."
In 1927, Joseph Éduard Lemaître, using facts he obtained from years of viewing the sky with his telescope, presented his theory of an expanding universe. Albert Einstein refused to believe this expanding universe theory because Einstein held on to the belief that the universe was stagnant. (Unchanging.)
When most men would walk by and pay no attention to the night sky, it was religious people who began to chart the heavens. It was religious people who started mapping out the sky and created astronomy. Giving special names to the planets that they could see with the naked eye. Names we still use today like Mars and Venus.
It was religious people, who thought that they were naming Gods, who started us on this scientific journey to discover "who we are."
It has been said that science tries to discover "how things work." Religion tries to discover "why things work." This was very true in the past. For most, if not all, great scientists were religious. (And remained religious until their death.)
Today, I'm not so sure people understand this symbiotic relationship.
As I travel around this great blog world, I find many non- religious people who believe that they are the "cats ass."
Cats ass
They believe religion garrotes scientific study. Which is not the case. Had Galileo NOT believed in God, he would have been an outsider. He would have never had the money to own a telescope, let alone perfect it. Galileo needed religion to fund his studies, because no one else had that kind of money.
Liberal non-believers have their ears closed.
I have been called a "flat-earther", a Jesus freak, and ignorant because I believe in God.
Years ago, when I first started blogging, I would argue with these people. I would remind them that Darwin believed in God and actually dropped his evolution theory and dedicated the remainder of his life to God.
It doesn't matter to these people. They believe religion, all religion is wrong. Could you imagine a person saying that all Black people are criminals? But today, you have many people in the blog world claiming that all religion is evil. That religion is the cause of humanities suffering.
"Free thinkers" who do not have much freedom in thought.
I do not have much time for the non-believer who calls me ignorant. For I know where all science derives from. It comes from one person reaching out in this world. It has little to do with a belief in God, or if the person is male or female, white or black.
With that said "greens."
If you believe that walking to work, instead of driving your car, will save the polar bears… That's fine with me.
Walking is great exercise and you will save money not buying gas.
Besides, walking to work will give you time to think. And just like ancient man who thought he was naming the Gods. (But in reality, he was inventing astronomy.) Maybe while walking to work, you will ponder cancer and come up with a cure.
Maybe, while you are sitting in your dark house with the TV turned off, (to save the Australian Hissing Frog) you will become bored and write a great novel. Without the distractions of a computer, iPod, and cell phone- you might paint a masterpiece. (On recycled canvas, of course.)
So walk to work. Turn off that TV.
The polar bears thank you.

Ben Stein gets Expelled
Ask a liberal about Joseph McCarthy, and they will tell you stories about people being blacklisted for "no good reason."
However, ask a liberal about scientists being Blacklisted for asking questions about Darwinism, you will not hear a peep.
Why MUST science be trapped in a box..??
Isn't science the art of questioning- things..??
