Difference Between a Leader and an Egoist

George W. Bush speech after capture of Saddam:

The success of yesterday's mission is a tribute to our men and women now serving in Iraq . The operation was based on the superb work of intelligence analysts who found the dictator's footprints in a vast country. The operation was carried out with skill and precision by a brave fighting force. Our servicemen and women and our coalition allies have faced many dangers in the hunt for members of the fallen regime, and in their effort to bring hope and freedom to the Iraqi people. Their work continues, and so do the risks. Today, on behalf of the nation, I thank the members of our Armed Forces and I congratulate 'em.

Barack Obama speech after killing of bin Laden:

And so shortly after taking office, I directed Leon Panetta, the director of the CIA, to make the killing or capture of bin Laden the top priority of our war against al Qaeda, even as we continued our broader efforts to disrupt, dismantle, and defeat his network. Then, last August, after years of painstaking work by our intelligence community, I was briefed on a possible lead to bin Laden. It was far from certain, and it took many months to run this thread to ground. I met repeatedly with my national security team as we developed more information about the possibility that we had located bin Laden hiding within a compound deep inside of Pakistan . And finally, last week, I determined that we had enough intelligence to take action, and authorized an operation to get Osama bin Laden and bring him to justice. Today, at my direction, the United States launched a targeted operation against that compound in Abbottabad , Pakistan .

Another End Time Prophecy.

There are many sects among different religions that predict an end to the world. The predicted date will come and pass but the die hard true believers will just go along and warn that the next date is true no matter how often they were wrong in the past. The biggest cult to have failed with their predictions and still have a substantial following is those of the Man Made Global Warming Cult (MMGWC).

1988 - "Congressional Expert" In 20-25 years we should expect temperatures to be 20 degrees warmer

2006 - "In five years there will be no more snow in North America" Congressman

Tim Flannery “The water problem is so severe for Adelaide that it may run out of water by early 2009.”

Professor Ove Hoegh-Guldberg - In 2006 “between 30 and 40 per cent of coral on Queensland’s great Barrier Reef could die within a month”.

Dr David Barber he predicted that 2009 "the Arctic’s first ice-free year”

The MET has so far predicted 2001, 2002, 2004, 2005 and 2007 would be the world’s hottest or second-hottest year on record, but nine of the past 10 years it predicted temperatures too high.

Guru Al Gore is famous for making many false predictions but he is the Pope of the new cult so if you attack the man by simply pointing out what he has said wrong over and over then you should prepare to have the faithful come knocking.

There are literally thousands of false predictions but the fact is that Man Made Global Warming has turned into nothing but another cult. It does not matter how many times their Gurus are wrong because these people have greater faith then most people who listen to Family Radio.

The Family Radio people did not want to destroy your lives, nor did they want to legislate your every move so I find them not near as crazy or dangerous as the MMGW cult.

Poor? Then Your Kids Are Probably Fat !!!

The simple fact about the "poor" in America is that they are not poor in comparison to other countries of the world. "The food you eat, how much exercise you get and which zip code you call home. These are all things that can make you fat, according to a public health study. Dr. Lauren Smith, medical director for the state Department of Public Health, traced a direct correlation between child obesity rates and a community’s median household income."

This is probably the first time in the history of the world that the poorer you are the more obese you will probably become. The argument that poor people can only afford high caloric and highly processed food is actually a mute one because even if they could not afford "healthy" food they could still buy a can of corn. 

I am not against the idea that the poor should not be helped but I am against the idea that the poor do not have ANY responsibility to take care of their children. I believe that much of the problems stems from the fact that we have taught generations of people that they have no responsibility for their actions..... what do you think?

We have met the Enemy and He is Us.

When I was 16 years old, almost 17, I had sex for the first time and almost got caught in the act. The girl was willing, if almost as inept as myself but we somehow managed to stumble through the act and get it done.

A couple of years later I found out that she had done the act with the husband of the first girl I ever kissed(but never had sex with) and this time, she got pregnant. Not wanting the child she took the only course open to her and had a backyard abortion. Got infected, lost her uterus to save her life and never had a baby to call her own.

Is this what you want to go back to? Is this what the GOP is trying to encourage? Look no further than Guatemala if you want to see the results of your policies:

Damn, how dumb can you be? How many times to you have to learn the same lesson the rest of us figured out in 1973? And thought we had put an end to it? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roe_v._Wade

Get over it GOP.

You do not control our bodies anymore than you control our minds or politics.

Why If YOU Paid a Single Dollar in Taxes, YOU paid too Much

How did he know?

It seems obvious now but at the time it was a radical thought. "An artificial person designed to protect the liability of the real people who controlled it."

Do not underestimate the capacity of corporations to game the system.

Republicans Carried to their Fainting Couches During Budget Speech

Did the poor little dears hear something that just made them swoon? Why yes, they heard from the president of the United States that their math just didn't add up. They heard that there is no excuse for being so selfish, for not looking after each other and for not sharing prosperity.

How hard can it be to understand that it is un-American to take food away from children who need it and health care away from senior citizens who will die without it?

I still do not understand why Obama is so kind and gentle and measured about it. But then again, I still do not understand why Americans would vote for the GOP candidates and so hope to be governed by people who hate them.

French Kiss a Corporation

Yes, it's time to tax the rich just like it's time to tax corporations. Only trouble is...getting some needed revenue from them would offend almost 400 people! But don't worry all you conservative bean counters...the GOP has got your back on this one. That's right...lets just compare how much they just saved you hmmmmm about 38 billion. Now lets see how much they just cost you hmmmm about 100-150 billion for the same 6 months by extending the Bush tax cuts to billionaires.

Best of all? They've trained you to think you got a bargain.

Neat little accounting trick isn't it? Damn shame it doesn't work out that way on my home budget plan.
