Hillary Clinton has said her global warming solution would cost $150 billion over 10 years and that one-third would be financed from the establishment of a $50 billion Strategic Energy Fund paid for by oil companies (which you and I would pay for it in the form of ever higher and higher fuel prices): http://www.myfoxla.com/myfox/pages/News/Detail?contentId=4968958&version=7&locale=EN-US&layoutCode=TSTY&pageId=3.2.1

What is freedom worth? How much of your belongings would you be willing / happy to have destroyed?

I'm just curious what it was like to get "freedom" and lose almost everything else.

Now before you people get all over my case, I heard that french people in Normandy were irate over the American bombings and destruction. Shoot the messenger if you want. But, I think this is worth pondering.

include God in most of the government documents of their time? Why couldn't they grasp the concept of Separation of Church and state? Were they mentally challenged? or are those of today who insist on the concept of Separation of Church and state mentally challenged?

Signed by Washington on October 3, 1789 and entitled "General Thanksgiving," the decree appointed the day "to be observed by acknowledging with grateful hearts the many and signal favors of Almighty God."
Preamble to the Declaration of independence
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness

Esteemed reporter Robert Novak has reported that a concerned Democratic insider says that Hillary has 'secret info' about Barack Obama that would ruin him and his campaign . Many see this as an attempt to plant doubt in the minds of the voters without actually saying what 'it' is .
Already Democratic spin machines are attempting to blame this fiasco on the Republicans . But truth be told , Novak just stated that his sources are all Democrats . In an interview this morning , Novak made it quite clear that he has not even spoken with ANY Republicans concerning this story . They are not his sources for this .

So . . .. . . Is This Yet Another One Of Hillary's Under-Handed Campaign Tactics To Destroy Anyone Who Disagrees With Her ?
AND --
Are You A Lemming-Like Robot If You Ignore Yet Another Scandal From Hillary ?

It seems that most high level politicians are also well connected to those in business, and finance. Do most politicians gain major investments, and business ideas by being interconnected with the business and financial elite?

Most politicians in the United States seem to be wealthy one way or another, at least having assets in excess of $200,000. Are most invested in some corporation?
