Responsible is That Good or Bad

Held responsible, is that a bad thing? How was the question posed?

  • Alvin York was responsible for saving hundreds possibly thousands and the capture of hundreds of enemy soldiers in WW I!
  • Hitler was responsible for atrocities to numerous to mention!

So, responsible - How do the majority hold them responsible in a good light or bad, that is a big portion of the information not being shared.

Something that is telling - The poll really consisted of the uninformed to uninterested … and excerpt:

And much of the country draws a blank on Republican Ted Cruz of Texas despite his 21-hour Senate speech

Obama & The Muslim Brotherhood - What's the Goal

This has some interesting information, why don't you take a chance and read it, research the facts, and just see if your current president's goal and that of his friends coincide with yours… oh, and one more thing, try to do this based on beliefs vs beliefs and goals vs goals - NOT based on skin color… can you do that?

Muslim Brotherhood Wants to Re-Elect Barack Hussein Obama:

... believes that its purposes in the West are, for the moment, better advanced by the use of non-violent, stealthy techniques.  In that connection, the Muslim Brotherhood seeks to establish relations with, influence and, wherever possible, penetrate government circles in executive and legislative branches at the federal, state, and local levels; the law enforcement community; intelligence agencies; the military; penal institutions, the media; think tanks and policy groups; academic institutions, non-Muslim religious communities; and other elites.  The Brothers engage in all of these activities and more for one reason: to subvert the targeted communities in furtherance of the Muslim Brother's primary objective -- the triumph of shariah.

Nothing is Free… Someone Always Pays!

Entitlements are increasing at an alarming rate - Obama and democrats want you to believe there will be no problem… What they mean, shut-up and let us get more people (voters) dependent on free money for nothing and they will just tax tax working Americans into poverty - AND THEN and ONLY THEN will they achieve equality!

Not my idea of fair - Good way to destroy ingenuity, motivation, etc. though!

Chart: Entitlement Spending Will Nearly Double by 2050:

Obamacare subsidies will soar over the next 38 years, leaving future generations with an alarming debt burden.

...

Starting in 2010, Social Security began to permanently spend more than it takes in.

The Market Place Says - NO 2 Electric Cars!

Who would have thought it… consumers don't want a vehicle which has a 35 - 50 mile limit. Guess my co-workers and I could run long extension cords - We don't need to worry about the utilities usages not budgeted, or maybe we should insist the company install "vehicle charging stations"… after all, it is their responsibility, right?

Volt production frozen amid patchy EV sales

I want get into the fact any electricity used in this region originates from "fossil fuel", so if you do buy one of the cars to "save the planet", are you really?

Wasn't this Suppose to Stop?

Interesting read, but I thought everyone was going to instantly love the US once Obama was elected - I suppose this to is Bushes fault. Although, after September 2001, while in office over two months less time, Bush took charge and dealt with it without blaming the previous administration.... Will Obama? Be on the look out for some "organized" meeting.

Attempted bombing spotlights al Qaeda growth in Yemen
Civil war and lawlessness have turned the Arab world's poorest state into an attractive alternative base for al Qaeda, which U.S. officials say has been largely pushed out of Afghanistan and is under growing military pressure from the Pakistani army in bordering tribal areas.


The 'Hoax' is 'Warming Up' - Will it Burn Down?

Will the release of these emails wake up the public before they loose more of their rights to choose not to mention the money being stolen base due to this hoax with "cap and trade"? I can guarantee you the "main stream media" will defend their blunder to the last breath or until the public forces them to actually "tell the truth"

Facing Scandal, Head of Climate Research Lab to Temporarily Step Down
Matt Dempsey, spokesman for Sen. Jim Inhofe, R-Okla., thinks more is still to come from the scandal coming to be known as Climate-gate. “It certainly shows that there’s more to the investigation and there’s more to come, and we’re only at the beginning stages of learning about Climate-gate," he told FoxNews.com.

Do you believe there will be any "real investigation" with Pelosi and Reid...I think not!

Good News - NOT

The below is "great news"...we have so much to look forward to! For example, more taxes for "the greater good", go carts with electric mower engines, BS about renewable energies while you are still burning fossil fuels just not "oil"...and nobody will tell you how much these "batteries" will cost to buy, to dispose of, or the cost associated with gearing our emergency personnel up to deal with these "batteries"!

NO, it ain't good news - But hey I am a "global warming denier" and proud of it!

Some Hint at Progress on Climate Deal - NYTimes.com
A two-day meeting of officials from countries responsible for the bulk of the world’s greenhouse gas emissions ended Monday in London with hints that rich and developing nations might be able to bridge at least some of their differences on issues hobbling agreement on a new climate treaty.


Couldn't have Said it Better

Many that know me have heard me harp about being sick and tired of hearing "the worst economy since the 'great depression'" - Knowing that many younger than 50 just weren't taught history before 1960 and those in their 30's nothing before Clinton. All seem to have forgotten the 70's, unemployment, inflation, and the initiation of a misery index (note Mr. Obama inherited a lower index than his predecessor while his climbed in the few months of office Bush's was lower after eight years, if anyone cares.).

Well I found someone other than I that remembers the 70's...all be it an evil "conservative" - Go figure.

Tell me if I have seen this before: Swine flu, Russian subs off the American coast, indecision toward Afghanistan, hot summers followed by cold winters. And then there is high unemployment and soon-to-be high inflation. Am I imagining things or is this a return to the 1970's?

I remember the ‘70's very well, especially the winter of '78. The heater broke in the middle of the coldest winter on St. Louis record and it was a miserable time. What struck me most was scientists trying to blame the frigid temperatures on global cooling. Make up your minds, will you

Oh Good - Another Prime Time Event :-(

...and we have another possible prime-time event...this president wants more face time than Paris Hilton and may pass the last two administrations total "time on television" by the end of the year...

Oh and if you notice - The problem stems from "two republicans"; of course, if it is such a great deal they don't need any republicans, and they can have all the credit for themselves.

Obama Weighing Health Care Strategy Shift - Political News - FOXNews.com
President Barack Obama, faced with falling approval ratings and increasingly impatient with Senate negotiations over health care, is weighing a shift in strategy that would offer more details of his goals for overhauling the nation's health care system.

The president is considering a speech in the next week or so in which he would be "more prescriptive" about what he feels Congress must include in a bill, top adviser David Axelrod said Tuesday in an interview. The speech might occur before the Sept. 15 deadline the White House gave to Senate negotiators to seek a bipartisan bill, Axelrod said. He suggested that two key Republicans have not bargained in good faith.



Facts - If you are Interested

This article checks several Whitehouse claims - I have just put one below, so if interested follow the link...

Fact Check
The first claim is that “Medicare has controlled cost growth better than private-sector health plans.” The reality is that “when payments from all sources are considered, spending on Medicare beneficiaries is increasing faster than spending on the privately insured.” The amount Medicare spends per beneficiary is growing slowly, but Medicare is paying a shrinking share of its beneficiaries’ total health costs. The total amount spent on health care for individuals enrolled in Medicare is actually growing faster than the amount spent on individuals in private insurance.

This has some interesting information about the "myth" that is global warming...
"In the early days of the IPCC, I was visiting the head of the White House's Office of Science and Technology Policy -- the director, Dr. Robert Watson, who later became the first Chairman of the IPCC. He informed me and a work associate with me that since we had started to regulate Ozone depleting substances under the 1987 Montreal Protocol, the next goal, in his mind, was to regulate Carbon Dioxide emissions from fossil fuel burning. This was nearly twenty years ago. There was no mention of a scientific basis for that goal. So, as you can see from the beginning of the IPCC process, it has been guided by desired policy outcomes, not science."

Well they announced - What do you think??? Not exactly what I was looking for; however, I will not condemn it. I DO hope they keep support their current units for some time since I am still doing more than my coworkers with my poor little palm device then they can do or know how to do with their Iphone or RIM devices.


If anyone out there is interested - Me I am ready for a new Palm OS, since I prefer palm to either MS or Apple, at least for mobile devices...there simplicity has always been a welcome change.

Exclusive: New Palm phone to have slide-down keyboard, large touchscreen
