Good bye to all!

I have decided to leave the teaching field and become, once again, part of the military industrial complex.  I have been offered a job at TACOM working as an operations and logistics administrator for the Military’s MRAP Program (Mine Resistant Ambush Protected vehicle). I am in the process of being reviewed for my Security clearance this week and will start on Monday April 14th.

I have really enjoyed my time on these blogs and have had some great debates with a good number of people.  I am going to miss most of the regulars on here.  With my new position, I will not have the time available to dedicate to these debates.  I will be out of town quite often and will be unusually busy.

I will occasionally check in to see what mischief you all are getting yourselves into.

I would like to give a few special thanks to the following bloggers:

Colt – keep up the good work my friend.  I hope that everyone will soon realize the importance of what you post.

Shock- Thanks for your vote of confidence over the past 1 ½ years.  You are definitely one of the most outspoken bloggers on here.  Enjoyed your posts.

ByeBye-  I think we could have been good friends.   Thanks for your years of service brother.

Tall- I still do not agree with most of what you say, but I wish you well with your illness.

Car- We have had a 50/50 view on things. But remember to keep your cool.

Sarge- Although we disagree on a few things, thanks for your service also.

Michigan man (Tim)- Keep up the logical debates. You logically prove things without a doubt, just remember than not everything in life is logical, have fun sometimes.

Midevil- You are just weird. Or should I say you all are weird? (Hey look not a single word over 7 letters)

Seedub and Revalcoholic- You two are very racist, you really need to realize that not every white man is out to get you. Get out of this negative viewpoint and enjoy life.

Spiritsoup- You are crazy- I have never been afraid of any man on this earth but you come close.  Your views are not sane what so ever.

Longshot- you are a newbee on here. You really need to lighten up if you want to open any kind of dialog with anyone. Oh, stop deleting opposing viewpoints.  That’s just childish.

Mrs Hubby- You still look fine for a Grandma.

Steveincanton- Keep posting.  I have to admit that I don’t read all of your stuff, but the ones that sound interesting I have enjoyed.

There are a lot of others on here that I have debated with and have enjoyed it all.

It's nice to see you delete my comments.  You are rude and have a filthy mouth for a "lady".  You delete my comments and respond with nonsense as if the good people on here would believe that I ever said anything against the military.  You are a joke.
Ps. I never said anything about drug flashbacks. IDIOT.
Go Ahead and delete my post, yet again.
This is in regards to your post on the military.

A Michigan congressman wants to put a 50-cent tax on every gallon of gasoline to try to cut back on Americans' consumption.

Polls show that a majority of Americans support policies that would reduce greenhouse gases. But when it comes to paying for it, it's a different story.

Rep. John Dingell, D-Mich., wants to help cut consumption with a gas tax but some don't agree with the idea, according to a new poll by the National Center for Public Policy Research.

The poll, scheduled to be released on Thursday, shows 48 percent don't support paying even a penny more, 28 percent would pay up to 50 cents more, 10 percent would pay more than 50 cents and 8 percent would pay more than a dollar.

"I don't want to pay more, I don't think anyone wants to," said Karen Deacon, a motorist.

"I think that wouldn't make any sense," said Frankie Hoe, a motorist. "Ugh ... who's making the money from all this and where is that money going? Is it going to go green? I don't see any green things anywhere."

The automobile is the nation's biggest polluter; Americans use more gas than the next 20 countries combined.

Some environmentalists and economists say pain at the pump may be bad for Americans, but good medicine for a sick planet.

But others say it wouldn't change much. Even if Americans abandoned their cars, global emissions would fall by less than one percent.

"A tax on gas is a way to reduce dependence on import oil, reduce traffic congrestion and reduce carbon emissions," said Lester Brown, president of the Earth Policy Institute.

The Earth Policy Institute proposes raising the gas tax 30 cents per gallon each year over a decade and offset with a reduction of income taxes, Brown said.

David Ridenour, vice president of the National Center for Public Policy Research, said the proposal wouldn't help long term.

"I think when you are talking about raising gas prices, there may be short-term reduction, put off vacations, but bottom line is over long term, that isn't going to have much of an effect," Ridenour said.

While Dingell's idea will likely lie dormant until after the 2008 election, the idea of carbon taxes is not. Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama and John McCain all support some type of system that either directly or indirectly will raise prices to penalize polluters.

I stopped watching the cable news programs over a year ago.  I found them to be one sided.  I first started watching CNN while Clinton was in office.  I realized that this channel was just a RAH RAH suporter of the Clinton Administration, thus the nickname Clinton News Network (CNN).

I watched MSNBC for about 3 months and although I tried to "get into it" I found them to be totally absurd in their reporting.

I switched to Fox News (FNC) because I agreed with the conservative aspect of the reporting. 

Now I hear from Liberals all the time that Fox news should be taken off the air because it supports the Republican party.  What about all the other networks that Kiss the liberals asses?f  Should they be taken off the air also? CNN, CBS, ABC, NBC, PBS, MSNBC . . .  that would leave a very boring line up.

I do agree that Fox news does lean more right.  But this is a good thing.  It is nice to have a dialog that can be debated rather than straight left "reporters" with an agenda.

I think that most of America appreciate the Fox news network for this.  Week over week the ratings tell the story.

O'Reilly comes in first 90% of the time.  I laugh at MSNBC with talk show host Keith Olbermann, and Chris Mathews of Hardball.  This is a failing network.  Check out the ratings for yourself. With the exception of Sean Hannity of Hannity and Colmes, I think most others on this channel are right leaning independants. Alan Colmes, is by far a Liberal.  This show is great because you get to see both sides of an issue and the guest vary from far right to far left.

What do you think.  I know that stats on this blog love to be ignored and there will be wicked arguments that Fox news is a Bush pupet organization etc....

WASHINGTON —  The Supreme Court appeared ready Tuesday to endorse the view that the Second Amendment gives individuals the right to own guns, but was less clear about whether to retain the District of Columbia's ban on handguns.

The justices were aware of the historic nature of their undertaking, engaging in an extended 98-minute session of questions and answers that could yield the first definition of the meaning of the Second Amendment in its 216 years.

A key justice, Anthony Kennedy, left little doubt about his view when he said early in the proceedings that the Second Amendment gives "a general right to bear arms."

Some things are not always as they seem.

How is your level of awareness? 

This 30 second video test may help!

I had to retake it just to see how I could have been so mistaken!

GreatGlobalWarming.com offers facts and information about global warming, global climate change, climate forecasts and predictions, and all things related to the news, topics and events surrounding Global Warming. We have information, news and views from scientists and experts on Global Warming you won't find in the mainstream media. While the alarmists scream the end of the world is coming due to Global Warming and it's our fault ... we present the other side of the story - the truth. And the truth is that any Global Warming that is occuring is most likely the result of natural, unstoppable and largely unpredictable causes - and the big scare is mostly about money, power and man's arrogance that some people think they understand the world's climate processes to the point (that given enough money and power) they can predict and control it.

What is the #1 source of greenhouse gas? Water vapor. That's right! Water vapor provides the most greenhouse gas on the planet thanks primarily to the fact that water covers about 3/4 of the the globe and as water evaporates it becomes part of the atmosphere. AND THAT IS GREAT! Without water vapor we wouldn't have clouds or rain - and most plants and animals could not survive with out these things.

If you need resources and information to combat the nonsense and foolishness you hear everywhere about Global Warming - you're at the right place!

2008 has seen one of the coldest and devastating winters in 50 years...worldwide. From Brazil to China, Chili to Wisconsin, England to Afganistan - we've seen world record (and near record) cold weather blamed for hundreds of deaths (107 in China alone) and unknown amount of economic losses. But what happened to manmade global warming and the record warm winter predicted by our "so-called" weather experts? They were wrong - (View Predictions of record warm temperatures for 2007) In fact, for nearly a decade, there has been no global warming. Even though atmospheric carbon dioxide continues to accumulate - it's up about 4 percent since 1998 - the global mean temperature has remained flat. Remember the fears about melting Artic Ice and drowing polar bears? Guess what...the vanishing artic sea ice of 2007 is now back to it's normal previous level. Gee...who predicted that? No one. In fact, it was just the opposite - with global warming "experts" predicting record low artic sea ice.

Wow, if this doesn't take the cake.  How racist can a person get?  This kind of garbage made me throw up a little in my mouth.

I had to go get some listerine to wash this racist BLEEP down.

Would you believe it if we told you that the U.S. House of Representatives voted to raise the price you pay for gasoline at the pump and -- at the same time -- give a huge tax break to that America-hating dictator Hugo Chavez?

Well, that is exactly what our so-called elected leaders-- led by Speaker Nancy Pelosi and her liberal colleagues in the House -- just did.

In common parlance, we call that a "twofer" and as unbelievable as it may sound, Pelosi and company have yet again proved that they have never met a socialist tyrannical despot thatthey did not like!

Here's what happened.

Last week, the House passed H.R. 5351, a bill that will jack up the prices that you and I pay at the pump for gasoline through the imposition of an $18 billion dollar tax increase!

Then they turned around andEXEMPTED HUGO CHAVEZ'S STATE-RUN OIL COMPANY, CITGO, FROM THE TAX!

Investor's Business Daily put it this way in an editorial on Friday titled, "Tax Cut for Hugo:"

"It goes to show that Congress is more willing to empower dictators than to get serious about America's energy supply."

You remember Hugo Chavez. He's the mouth-foaming dictator of Venezuela who came to New York City not too long ago and called the President of the United States "El Diablo" (Translation: "The Devil").

Here's exactly what he said when speaking at the United Nations:

"And the devil came here yesterday. Yesterday the devil came here. Right here. [performs the sign of the cross] And it smells of sulfur still today."

"Yesterday, ladies and gentlemen, from this rostrum, the President of the United States, the gentleman to whom I refer as the devil, came here, talking as if he owned the world. Truly. As the owner of the world.

"I think we could call a psychiatrist to analyze yesterday's statement made by the President of the United States. As the spokesman of imperialism, he came to share his nostrums, to try to preserve the current pattern of domination, exploitation and pillage of the peoples of the world ." [Emphasis Mine]

And Pelosi and company have basically bestowed favor upon this anti-American dictator and they're bestowing this favor on the backs of American businesses and average American taxpayers like you and me.

We must act quickly... and act together... to stop this ridiculous legislation before Pelosi's liberal colleagues try to sneak it through the Senate.

Use the hyperlink below to send your urgent and personalized 50 Blast Fax messages to President George W. Bush and the 49 Republican Members of the United States Senate.

Tell them in no uncertain terms that the American people do NOT want tax breaks to go into the greasy pockets of that tyrannical America-hating despot Hugo Chavez. Time is of the essence because Pelosi's liberal allies and fellow travelersin the Senate may try to fast-track this bill to avoid a filibuster.

There Is Not A Moment To Lose!

Monisha Bansal of CNS News tells us: "Senate Democratic leaders have indicated they would fast-track the bill to try to avoid a Republican filibuster."

That's why there's not a moment to lose!

Meanwhile, Chavez is traveling all over the world, schmoozing with the leaders of anti-American nations like Iran and Russia.

More than one observer has suggested that Chavez is delusional, seeing himself as Simon Bolivar, who, in the early 19th century,liberated much of South America from the rule of Spain.

But the truth is: Chavez-- not just a cruel clown -- is more like Hitler or Stalin than Bolivar.

Here's a short biography of Hugo Chavez:

Leading a leftist-militarist faction, he attempted to overthrow the government in 1992 , failed, and ended up in prison. Six years later he was elected president of Venezuela.

Once in office, he began the systematic repression of any and all opposition.

He has thrown dissenters into prison, and ordered others shot. Even Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International have condemned his regime.

When the newspapers, radio, and TV began to criticize him, he 'nationalized' them.

Now editors and reporters in Venezuela work for Chavez and either praise him or keep their mouths shut out of fear.

Most recently Chavez launched a referendum that would have allowed him to remain Dictator for life.

Chavez is also wildly anti-Semitic and frequently unleashes hysterical diatribes against Israel and the Jewish people.

He even disturbs the New York Times, which once hailed Fidel Castro's ascension as a triumph of democracy and agrarian reform.

Pelosi and company's H.R. 5351 will yield Chavez an incomprehensible amount of money-- courtesy of American taxpayers -- which he can use to build dungeons for political prisoners and buy bullets for firing squads.

And perhaps for something even much more chilling... Read on.
