This blog will be a place for family and friends to come for news and photos. It will be a place we can muse about the important things in life like the Cardinals, religion, and politics.

Obama and the Media
The Media is trying to tie Obama to the Illinois Governor. Maybe they
could talk about his role in the ethics bill that helped bring the
Governor down.

Your Liberal Media
Here's your liberal media at work again. The media, including NBC and the New York Times reports that ballots in the Minnesota Senate race have been kept unsecured in the trunk of a car. How do they know? They heard it from Norm Coleman's lawyer! Norm is the Republican candidate in the race. And they didn't mention that Minnesota's Republican governor says there is no evidence of anyone trying to steal the election.

The Hope of a Better Day

Folks, we made history tonight. Our country will be so much better for it. We have redeemed ourselves a bit in the eyes of the world.
Over the last eight years, the Bush Administration shredded the Constitution and decimated the middle class. They have instituted a preemptive war doctrine (Did you get that Ms. Palin?) and used torture in the name of all Americans.
Tomorrow, though, dawns a new day. The man leading the way has long worked for those less fortunate. He has helped folks rebuild tattered lives. He has defended the Civil Rights of fellow Americans.
I believe this man will work to help those who need it the most. I believe this man is up to the challenge.
The time for change is now.

Gas Tax Holiday
Cutting the gas tax would be a gift alright. But not for consumers. It would be yet another gift to the oil companies.
It is almost as dumb as the tax rebate stimulus plan. They should be forced to write on the tax rebate checks - "You are borrowing this money from your children and grandchildren. Enjoy!"

Meet the Press
Is ordering orange juice in a diner wrong? Or is our Press Corps full of morons? You decide.

Isn't that the Truth?
From Tom Tomorrow:
Remember what Kurt Vonnegut said:
There is a tragic flaw in our precious Constitution, and I don’t know what can be done … This is it: Only nut cases want to be president.

Something Must Be Done
When the free market begins to work in favor of the consumer, something must be done. The Bush Administration will not allow the free market to take advantage of Big Corporations. As I have told conservative friends of mine before, small business and individuals both get the shaft from the Bush Administration. This is a perfect example of both groups getting the shaft.

The Bush Administration
The administration cares about nothing except political power. They have forced perceived political enemies from government. They will do anything to reinforce their political power.

The War
The next time I hear or read someone say that we are losing the war because of the 'Liberal Traitors,' I want them to read this.

Iraq War Debate
It seems reasonable to me that the Iraq War Debate would be about the administration's new plan. The American people deserve to know what they plan to do differently to make this surge work. The majority of Americans believe we need to get the troops out of Iraq. They deserve a debate that explains why this surge would be a better plan.
This seems like a reasonable expectation to me. However, the Republicans believe differently. Here is a quote from a letter sent by GOP leaders to Republicans in Congress.

Democrats want to force us to focus on defending the surge, making the case that it will work and explaining why the President's new Iraq policy is different from prior efforts and therefore justified.
We urge you to instead broaden the debate to the threat posed to Americans, the world, and all "unbelievers" by radical Islamists. We would further urge you to join us in educating the American people about the views of radical Islamists and the consequences of not defeating radical Islam in Iraq.

A New Direction
Congressman Patrick Murphy of Pennsylvania is one of the heroes. Read what he had to say in the Iraq debate today.

Sad State of Affairs
Torture is wrong. It is devastating to the person being tortured. And as we see here, it is devastating to the person doing the torturing.
I have never said that the Bush administration is evil. This story, though, bothers me greatly. It is despicable to treat humans beings in this manner. It is despicable to force other human beings to do the dirty work. Behind them, this administration leaves broken lives, Iraqi and American.
Whether you believe we should have invaded Iraq or not, the conduct of this war is beyond incompetent. It is a disaster. It is a festering sore on America's soul.
