Politics - 23 July 2007

Why not? I'm not for Hillary because I'm not the type of person who votes based on gender or race. I sometimes wonder about people who call others sexist for not voting for Hillary and racist for not voting for Obama. Wouldn't it seem like the person only voting for someone based on the color of their skin or their gender as the ones who are being sexist and racist?

I was listening to the radio the other day and an interview with Obama made me turn it off immediately because the interviewer was just bringing up his race too much as if he was an underdog candidate but we all know that isn't true. He is on the media and getting way more air time along with Hillary than other candidates yet even though that is true, his race is what makes him an underdog? Sorry but I didn't know that democrats would use his race against him?

It's stuff like this that reminds me that Martin Luther King's vision has not been fulfilled.

I thought you might be interested in this forgotten bit of information.........



It was 1987! At a lecture the other day they were playing an old news video of Lt.Col. Oliver North testifying at the Iran-Contra hearings during the Reagan Administration.

There was Ollie in front of God and country getting the third degree, but what he said was stunning!

He was being drilled by a senator; "Did you not recently spend close to $60,000 for a home security system?"

Ollie replied, "Yes, I did, Sir."

The senator continued, trying to get a laugh out of the audience, "Isn't that just a little excessive?"

"No, sir," continued Ollie.

"No? And why not?" the senator asked.

"Because the lives of my family and I were threatened, sir."

"Threatened? By whom?" the senator questioned.

"By a terrorist, sir" Ollie answered.

"Terrorist? What terrorist could possibly scare you that much?"

"His name is Osama bin Laden, sir" Ollie replied.

At this point the senator tried to repeat the name, but couldn't pronounce it, which most people back then probably couldn't. A couple of people laughed at the attempt. Then the senator continued. Why are you so afraid of this man?" the senator asked.

"Because, sir, he is the most evil person alive that I know of", Ollie answered.

"And what do you recommend we do about him?" asked the senator.

"Well, sir, if it was up to me, I would recommend that an assassin team be formed to eliminate him and his men from the face of the earth."

The senator disagreed with this approach, and that was all that was shown of the clip.


By the way, that senator was

Because the economy was starting to tank right at end of Clinton's time in office and the Democrats didn't want to take the hit they ran such a bad campaign Gore lost to Bush. Even their pseudo questioning of the Florida count didn't make sense. They were by law granted an automatic recount of the entire state and they chose to cherry pick recounts ONLY where they already had a wide margin didn't make sense.

Democrats have complained about Bush's handling of the economy since day one and yet the market has been repeatedly hitting all time highs.

Sooner or later the market will take a big hit. It won't be Bush's fault if it happens on his watch. He doesn't actually control the economy anyway. But if the economy stays good through most of next year will they run another bad campaign so their person doesn't get elected again?

It's possible you know?

Islamists have a very long view of history and tactics.

Al Qaeda means "the base" which means they are acting as the foundation with which the global caliphate will be created. They believe that bands of barbarians such as themselves paved the way for the caliphate of old and wish to repeat such things.

... mention the possibility that one of their candidates might use a Koran to be sworn in.

Why aren't these Dems defending the right of the candidate to use any book he/she wants? Why do they seem to get upset or have to quickly point out that they don't have a muslim candidate? Would they be ashamed to have a Muslim candidate? I thought religion wasn't important to Libs.

One of Romney's hurdles to getting the Rep. nomination is his religion, which Conservative Christians in the party are "concerned" about. For the most part, Democrats are much more tolerant of groups & classes. If he doesn't receive the nomination, could this be enough to sway the millions of Mormon Americans to support the other party in the upcoming Election and maybe a full "conversion"?

Ron Paul wants to again back the dollar with Gold/Silver as mandated in the constitution.
According to this report there is approximately 157,000 metric tonnes of Gold in existence. {1 tonne is 32,150 ounces}

So, there is plenty of Gold available despite what critics say. Of course the price per ounce may sky-rocket until an equalibrium is reached.
