UBL part 2

Today, I would just like to post an email I received from one of the more brilliant minds on America's East Coast. Brilliant, because I think this person actually follows this blog. 

Just as long as he doesn't have to give up his Nobel Peace Prize
"Let's be clear on this: OBAMA did NOT kill Bin Laden. An American sailor,
who Obama just a few weeks ago was debating on whether or not to PAY, did.
In fact, if you remember a little less than two years ago, his
administration actually charged and attempted to court marshall 3 Navy
Seals from Seal Team Six, when a terrorist suspect they captured,
complained they had punched him during the take-down and bloodied his
nose. His administration further commented how brutal they were. The left
were calling them Nazis and Baby Killers. Now all of a sudden the very
brave men they vilified are now heroes when they make his administration
look good in the eyes of the public. Obama just happened to be the one in
office when the CIA finally found the bastard and our sailors took him
out. Essentially, Obama only gave a yes or no answer to him being taken
out. This is NOT an Obama victory, but an AMERICAN victory!! Forward on IF
YOU AGREE!!"

Dependency

I really wish I were a better writer, but I'm not. Thankfully, there are people like Thomas Sowell. Here is a link to his most recent article...a must read. This is exactly what I have been trying to articulate for a long time now. He is just alot better at it than I am.

Energy

For a good dose of common sense, go to http://www.deneenborelli.com/ and check out the transcript of her testimony to Congress she gave today. Well said, Deneen.

Gas part 2

In an earlier post discussing gas  prices, I gave a handful of reasons for the increase that it is hurting us all. One reason was that the U.S., with it's huge reserves of oil, functions under a policy that prohibits us from retrieving it.

Well, it's been a couple weeks now since the all knowing President made his announcement(on a weekend of course, to minimize the media attention), that the U.S. does indeed plan on expanding exploration and drilling in areas that have been previously forbidden. Oil prices have been bid slowly down ever since, thus dropping the price of gas. Where I live, it is now 42 cents/gallon less than just two weeks ago. The free market at work.

Is it too cynical to think that the Prez looked at his calender and realized there is an election coming up in less than a year and a half? Nope. My guess is that is exactly what has transpired here. Interesting how a guy who is owned in part by the lunatic fringe of tree huggers will gladly sell them out to save his own hide.

At least this compromise of principles by the Prez is in a positive way for the nation--for once.

Israel

Anyone see the president's speech today? Did he just sell out Israel? Sure looks like it. God help us all.

Indiana

I wanted to make my next post a comment on the federal government intervening with Boeing from opening shop in South Carolina.... a travesty and very dangerous power grab by the central authority. Then I saw the story about the Indiana Supreme Court ruling that broke this weekend. All I can say is...WOW! Have we really fallen this far? One of our state Supreme Courts has just ruled that it's OK for a police officer to enter your residence whenever he or she feels like it. Am I reading this right? Give me some feedback, folks...my eyes are too glazed over to write anymore. http://www.courierpress.com/news/2011/may/13/indiana-supreme-court-no-right-resist-unlawful-pol/
