Man</title><description>&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0in;&quot;&gt;There is nothing more tantalizing than
freedom.  There is nothing more frightening than freedom.  There is
nothing more fragile than freedom.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0in;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0in;&quot;&gt;Freedom has always caught the
imagination of the poor, the down trodden, the meek, the poor.  Since
the days of man&#39;s first civilization, freedom has been a concept not
often experienced in reality by many humans.  
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0in;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0in;&quot;&gt;The thought of being free to eek out a
life the way in which that individual wants and dreams of has caused
many to plan, to fight, to die in an effort to achieve and experience
it.  Over the centuries many have salivated at the very thought and
notion of it.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0in;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0in;&quot;&gt;Freedom is also very frightening to
many.  It means less power for those who want to be in charge of
every aspect of every day life.  It means you are the master of your
life, your destiny with no safety net.  You live and or die by your
own hand, imagination, work ethic.  
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0in;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0in;&quot;&gt;Its also very, very fragile.  It is
under constant threat by those who abhor its very nature, its very
being.  Those who have a disdain for freedom will do whatever they
can to crush it, bury it, burn it, grind it into a pulp and then
spread that pulp over a swamp of authoritarianism.  And this sort of
thing can happen in an instant or slowly over time.  
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0in;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0in;&quot;&gt;Those who love freedom must always be
vigilant for those who hate it.  You see, the haters often depict
themselves as something more fantastic.  They depict themselves as
saviors of mankind.  They have a better way.  And they claim all they
want to do is take care of the poor, make things more fair.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0in;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0in;&quot;&gt;Their true goal is to enslave you,
crush your spirit, make you dependent on them for your very
existence.  You  see, that is their drug.  They get high on the fact
that they can and do rule over you.  The Freedom Haters have always
been anti-human.  If you don&#39;t bow down to them and worship them then
those same people who claim they only want to help you, protect you,
provide for you, save you from yourself, have no issue with killing
you, tossing you aside, destroying you.  
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0in;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0in;&quot;&gt;This has been true through history.  
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0in;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0in;&quot;&gt;From kings and queens, to emperors, to
Chairmen of authoritarian political parties, none have actually
delivered on their promise of a better society, utopia.  NONE!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0in;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0in;&quot;&gt;What these rulers of men have done,
what they have left behind is a massive highway of death, despair and
destruction.  
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0in;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0in;&quot;&gt;Those who are free and believe in the
very tenants of freedom have no desire to conquer, to rule over, to
disparage others.  They have always fought to protect the freedom of
others even if those others were not their kin, neighbors, city,
country.  They believe everyone should be able to experience freedom
and to live as they see fit.  And they are willing to lay their own
lives down in order to secure such freedom not only for themselves
but for others.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0in;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0in;&quot;&gt;Even if a dictator of any kinds
succeeds in crushing freedom for some, they can never kill it. 
Freedom is always the dream of man.  It always has been.  It always
will be.  
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0in;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0in;&quot;&gt;Funny thing about freedom though.  It
gives you the ability to give it up.  How ironic.  
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0in;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

The Savior Of Free Speech?</title><description>&lt;p&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0in;&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzVNm3dGC-662rUNgZZyyeSn3oKUWy0Oyba9qbhr2IWnoYuXNOA2FA0jqrCAQ79dNdDmVj0HRL_bHBXSCwdczuv9_L0gcaV48PfXfscMRkjLZ5CxvT7W1wcYJmgruy7FHg_wf9UqdOQfC3wI5Byo7VCKNgm9v-WEUGb2OyZDaQOfVcNajTnF45lSE/s1910/Musk.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;1000&quot; data-original-width=&quot;1910&quot; height=&quot;168&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzVNm3dGC-662rUNgZZyyeSn3oKUWy0Oyba9qbhr2IWnoYuXNOA2FA0jqrCAQ79dNdDmVj0HRL_bHBXSCwdczuv9_L0gcaV48PfXfscMRkjLZ5CxvT7W1wcYJmgruy7FHg_wf9UqdOQfC3wI5Byo7VCKNgm9v-WEUGb2OyZDaQOfVcNajTnF45lSE/s320/Musk.jpg&quot; width=&quot;320&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are a lot of folks freaking out
over Elon Musk buying the social media giant, Twitter.  And there are
probably an equal number of folks praising the multi billion dollar
buy as being the saving grace for Free Speech.&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0in;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0in;&quot;&gt;I think that the leftist who believe
Mr. Musk will re-open the platform and allow more speech and ideas
than previously allowed will actually be true.  Will Elon Musk be the
savior of Free Speech?  I don&#39;t think that will be the case.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0in;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0in;&quot;&gt;You see, freedom of speech is something
that is in the heart and soul of each individual.  And I mean every
single person has this within them.  The difference between say Jack
Dorsey and Elon Musk is that Dorsey and those who follow him, cannot
fathom that someone would disagree with them.  And as such they are
greatly offended by those who disagree with them.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0in;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0in;&quot;&gt;Funny thing is, even if you can
scientifically prove that your opinion is correct, if it differs in
any way from what Dorsey and his ilk believe, they will seek to shut
you down, shut you up and shut you off from public forums.  
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0in;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0in;&quot;&gt;But...Dorsey and his crowd have no
problems with promoting opinions they believe in even if they are
blatantly wrong.  But, hey, its what they think Democracy is.  
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0in;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0in;&quot;&gt;Musk, on the other hand, is a bit
smarter.  He welcomes comments, opinions and debate with those who
disagree with him.  In fact Musk himself has publicly stated that he
has learned a great deal from those that have disagreed with him.  
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0in;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0in;&quot;&gt;Musk and his crew believe that an open
forum and open debate is the best way to bring forth new ideas, parse
those ideas and find the best ideas to move individuals and society
forward.  
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0in;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0in;&quot;&gt;Musk and his followers also believe
that even those that offend them should have the right to espouse
their beliefs and opinions.  Indeed, it is easier to identify your
enemy when you can hear them talk about how much they hate you. 
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0in;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0in;&quot;&gt;There is nothing mysterious or
dangerous about freedom of speech.  Freedom of speech is freedom of
thought.  This is how a free society moves forward, progresses and
makes strides to espouse even more freedom for its citizens. 
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0in;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0in;&quot;&gt;There is nothing to fear from speech
that is even hateful.  It allows for all to see who is the hater, who
espouses evil, who loves to restrict freedom, who wants to rule over
you instead of govern with you.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0in;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0in;&quot;&gt;Yes, the left hates free speech simply
because it means they have a hard time, if not impossible time, in
gaining power and ruling over you and me.  In fact true free speech
is so frightening to them that the Twitter board and Blue Check
Leftists Twitter Users tried a number of idea on keeping the company
out of Musk&#39;s hands.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0in;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0in;&quot;&gt;So let me be clear.  If someone
espouses an idea that you abhor, that does not mean you get to keep
them from sharing that idea.  In fact, YOUR idea may be abhorrent to
that person.  You see, free speech, free expression flows two ways.  
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0in;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0in;&quot;&gt;If its a one way street then you don&#39;t
have freedom.  You have authoritarianism.  And that ain&#39;t
constitutional.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0in;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;txtd&quot; id=&quot;txtd_10961516&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;Rod is the Coolest, Most

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;h2&gt;Liberals in the USA are NOT a Black Mans&#39; Friend&lt;/h2&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Blacks should not support the Democratic Party in general. No minority group should support the Democratic Party in general. If you have read my comments anywhere on the web, here, Fool.com, ArgueWithEveryone, and many other boards and forums then you know I have no love for the Democratic Party in general.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;History has shown us just how racist and bigoted the Democratic Party was and to an extent, still is. The Democrats believe that minorities, especially blacks, cannot make it in life without their help. The dirty little secret is that the Democrats are the reason that minorities have a harder than normal time making it.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Democrats have shown through out history that they, in general, hate blacks and minorities. They have passed laws upholding segregation, poll taxes and much, much more. Democrats have shown through out history to be the major forces behind denying legislation that would give blacks and other minorities an equal voice in public discourse. (Jim Crow laws anyone?)&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Civil Rights took so long to pass mainly because Democrats blocked its passage for decades before the 1960&#39;s. Indeed, the Democratic Party is the home of the KKK and slavery. This is documented fact and they cannot spin it any other way.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;The Democratic Party had more members sitting in Congress who where also members of the KKK than any other party including the Republican Party. (Another historical fact Democrats try to hide.) Republicans have been the ones to advance civil liberty. (Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was a Republican for much of his adult life. Another historical fact.) Republicans have been the one who went to war to right a terrible wrong that was known as slavery.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;As blacks succeed and join the ranks of the middle class and the upper class, you will notice that they tend to register and vote Republican. They specifically vote conservative. Republicans, in general, believe in the human spirit. Republicans believe that each individual has an equal opportunity to shine and become successful in any en devour they choose so long as government gets out of their way.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Democrats want to continue destroying urban minority families with their welfare policies and other public policies. They keep our schools in the inner city a mess. After all they are the ones who control most schools. Democrats are the largest block against vouchers or any kind of school choice. Even after such initiatives have been shown to boost minority education results.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;A Democrat founded Planned Parent Hood and its original goal was to “control the minority population”. (A historical fact and its documented in its founding documents. Look it up.) Democrats have promised much to help minorities and inner cities and have delivered little if anything. Democrats are the ones who gave us “Don&#39;t ask, don&#39;t tell” in the military yet they blame the Republicans for it. A Democrat signed the “Defense of Marriage Act” but blame the Republicans for this law.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;No, I will not vote for or support a party that has proven itself to be corrupt and racist. Shame on any minority that supports such a group. Including Obama. Why do we assist in our own destruction? I want the Democrats to come up with honest policy that truly is fair and colorblind. Until then, this Cool Black Man will remain conservative and most likely vote for a Republican. You should to if you are or if you like minorities.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;h2&gt;&lt;a&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Don&#39;t be a CHUMP!&lt;/h2&gt;



&lt;p&gt;&lt;a&gt;&lt;/a&gt;The last word: Blacks still have a lot of voting power. And we have shown we can make a difference in elections still to this day. You have to ask yourself, with Democratic promises and Democratic Administrations and years of Congress controlled by Democrats, are we as a people better off? Are you better off?&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;All you have to do is look around. We have one Democratic policy after another that promised us a better life and all we get is death and destruction. Our schools are worse than ever before. Our inner cities are more violent than ever before. Our young men are locked away in prison in greater numbers than ever before. Yet you still vote for the same people who did this to us.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Don&#39;t be a chump. Understand the plan of the Democratic party is the plan of the KKK. Control the blacks, keep them down, keep them under control, keep them dependent on rich white plantation owners who are now just rich white politicians. Next time a politician promises you something, just say, &quot;I ain&#39;t no chump&quot; and vote for the other person who most likely won&#39;t be a Democrat.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;3 minutes of wisdom and truth.  Don&#39;t be a chump.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;https://youtu.be/obesJDYnY5Y &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

This could not be further  from the truth.  In fact, the bald truth is that even if you don’t cast a  vote, you just voted.  Let me repeat what I just said. IF YOU DON’T  VOTE, YOU JUST VOTED.&lt;br /&gt;
How is this possible?  Are you thinking that maybe someone else is  voting for you, using your name?  That can be a factor of course, but it  is not what I am talking about.&lt;br /&gt;
Look at it this way, say you and 100 of your friends, co-workers and  neighbors don’t vote.  The next day you see who won the election and you  find out that candidate A won the election by 50 votes.  Now you don’t  like candidate A and neither do your 100 friends, co-workers and such.   By not voting, you just “voted” for candidate A because he won the  election.&lt;br /&gt;
How could candidate B have won instead?  Simple.  You and your 100  friends and such go and vote for candidate B.  Then you will note that  your candidate will win by 50 votes.  &lt;br /&gt;
To put it simply, if you do not vote, then you are actually voting  for the winner of the election no matter who that winner is.  If you do  not take the time to go to the polling place and cast your vote, it is  the same as actually voting for the winner of the election even if you  don’t like the winner at all.&lt;br /&gt;
So in reality (as well as in theory) every single vote counts, yours  included.  You actually vote one way or the other even if you don’t take  yourself to the legal polling place and pull the lever or write a check  mark on a ballot.  &lt;br /&gt;
Millions of Americans did not vote in the last presidential elections.  So by not voting they actually voted for Barack  &lt;a href=&quot;http://rodeccles.com/blog/r-15-heath-fitness-politics&quot; linkindex=&quot;28&quot; style=&quot;color: #3300ff;&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Obama&lt;/a&gt;.  Like him or not, that is who they voted for by not actually casting their vote.&lt;br /&gt;
Imagine if all those who did not vote actually went to their polling  place and actually voted.  There could have been a different winner.   Yes, John McCain could have won the election instead.  But even if a  person likes John McCain but did not vote, they actually voted for  Barack  &lt;a href=&quot;http://rodeccles.com/blog/r-15-heath-fitness-politics&quot; linkindex=&quot;29&quot; style=&quot;color: #3300ff;&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Obama&lt;/a&gt;.  You can see how this works for any election.&lt;br /&gt;
Look, many people around the globe wish they only had the chance to vote for their  &lt;a href=&quot;http://rodeccles.com/blog/r-12-lc-healthpolitics&quot; linkindex=&quot;30&quot; style=&quot;color: #3300ff;&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;political&lt;/a&gt;  leaders.  In fact many more around the globe actually risk their very  lives to vote.  Its that important and they understand that if they do  not vote, it is the same as voting for the winner even if the winner is a  dangerous tyrant.  &lt;br /&gt;
So on election day, skip the gym.  Don’t work late at work.  Eat  dinner a little bit later in the evening.  Do what ever you need to do  to take 30 minutes out of your day to do something far more responsible  and important.  Vote.  It only happens at MOST once per year.  So what  is 30 minutes in an entire year?  Its nothing.  &lt;br /&gt;
So do what all GOOD and RESPONSIBLE Americans do.  Excersise your  right to vote and truly make your voice heard.  Otherwise you are silent  and the winner may not be someone who cares about what you care about.   &lt;br /&gt;
Vote.&lt;br /&gt;

The Southern Avenger, in the &lt;a href=&quot;http://2f3b7wkjmif1p0e1s8o3fmdx37.hop.clickbank.net/?tid=010510EODDB&quot;&gt;video&lt;/a&gt; below, makes so much logical sense that it is hard to disagree with him on anything.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
However, he does get a few facts wrong about the Iraq war and the &lt;a href=&quot;http://e3c8clodhio0o88k-8zfixfze1.hop.clickbank.net/?tid=010510MWBB&quot;&gt;War&lt;/a&gt; on Terror but he nails it on the &quot;religionizing&quot; of political and social issues.  Especially when it comes to Global Warming.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;iframe src=&quot;http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?t=thelibcaf-20&amp;o=1&amp;p=8&amp;l=bpl&amp;asins=B0006GAI7I&amp;fc1=000000&amp;IS2=1&amp;lt1=_blank&amp;m=amazon&amp;lc1=0000FF&amp;bc1=000000&amp;bg1=FFFFFF&amp;f=ifr&quot; style=&quot;align:left;padding-top:5px;width:131px;height:245px;padding-right:10px;&quot; align=&quot;left&quot; scrolling=&quot;no&quot; marginwidth=&quot;0&quot; marginheight=&quot;0&quot; frameborder=&quot;0&quot;&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;The idea that being a Conservative or a Liberal should thus dictate what you believe should not even enter a thoughtful humans mind.  But all to often, we subjugate ourselves to what we believe instead of what the data of the day reveals.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The SA makes a case that so-called science once told us, and was taught in school, that blacks were biologically inferior to whites and that homosexuals were mentally ill and could be &quot;fixed&quot; with phyciatric treatment and drugs.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Of course those are not the only examples.  We were fed a steady &lt;a href=&quot;http://2f3b7wkjmif1p0e1s8o3fmdx37.hop.clickbank.net/?tid=010510EODDB&quot;&gt;diet&lt;/a&gt; of ridiculous notions such as we were taught back in the day that women did not have a head for politics or were too emotional to be national leaders.  I think Margaret Thatcher dispensed with the too emotional and no head for leadership nonsense.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We have also brushed aside the notion that blacks are in some way biologically inferior as evidenced by our current president.  He is very intelligent, good looking and very capable as a human being.  Capable as president is another matter.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We note that we have another female Secretary of State who follows a black female Secretary of State.  Obviously women can get the job done, all be it the current SS is a bit under utilized but that is a good thing.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;iframe src=&quot;http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?t=thelibcaf-20&amp;o=1&amp;p=8&amp;l=bpl&amp;asins=1934956139&amp;fc1=000000&amp;IS2=1&amp;lt1=_blank&amp;m=amazon&amp;lc1=0000FF&amp;bc1=000000&amp;bg1=FFFFFF&amp;f=ifr&quot; style=&quot;align:left;padding-top:5px;width:131px;height:245px;padding-right:10px;&quot; align=&quot;left&quot; scrolling=&quot;no&quot; marginwidth=&quot;0&quot; marginheight=&quot;0&quot; frameborder=&quot;0&quot;&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;So what about this Global Warming thing?  Well, what about anything that seems to have a &quot;scientific consensus&quot;?  It usually stems from those in power wanting to keep and expand that power.  Its all about control which is why when evidence comes about to contradict the current status quo, it is bashed, lambasted and even ignored.  Its about control not about seeking the truth.  Making blacks inferior was about controling them.  Saying women didn&#39;t have the temperment for leadership was about keeping control over them.  Telling you Global Warming exsist even though scientific data says otherwise is about controling you and me and our every day lives.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
True conservatives recognize control and work to thwart it at every turn.  Yes sometimes we get sucked into the murky mire of desire and political ease but in the end we usually pony up and admit our mistakes and recognize it is not control that we seek but rather liberty, justice and &lt;a href=&quot;http://4deebwjlnfl6o32fyenonywv8j.hop.clickbank.net/?tid=010510RCSB&quot;&gt;freedom &lt;/a&gt;for all.&lt;br /&gt;

I am sure you have even if you are only 10 years old.  It means a chance of a lifetime or at least an opportunity that does not come around very often in a lifetime.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That is what we have going into the year of our Lord; 2010.  You see, we will have a full moon on &lt;a href=&quot;http://87b1cjqll9kzyx0co7t96j1edg.hop.clickbank.net/?tid=123009EPB&quot;&gt;New Years Eve&lt;/a&gt;.  Now that in and of itself is not unusual.  However, it will be the SECOND full moon in the month of December.  That second full moon in a single month is called a Blue Moon.  And that kind of full moon happens only once in every 19 years or so.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So the next Blue Moon wont happen until the year 2028 or 2029.  That is a long time.  It is an opportunity to revel at the marvel that God has created for us.  Think about it, you get to ring in a new year with a full moon.  Also something that is rare.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This has great significance.  OK, so maybe I am stretching a bit, but think about this.  A Blue Moon is rare and is an &lt;a href=&quot;http://e2e49ux8elm8w13co7pqgenr21.hop.clickbank.net/?tid=123009JGB&quot;&gt;opportunity&lt;/a&gt; you don&#39;t want to miss.  Just as in 2010 we have an &lt;a href=&quot;http://e2e49ux8elm8w13co7pqgenr21.hop.clickbank.net/?tid=123009JGB&quot;&gt;opportunity&lt;/a&gt; to take back our country from the tryanicle and radical left wing nut jobs.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Yes, November 2010 can be a turning point for good in our nation.  We can turn back the tide of hate and &lt;a href=&quot;http://4d7d2plmi7szt-cl4xtqs2046a.hop.clickbank.net/?tid=123009SMMB&quot;&gt;socialism&lt;/a&gt; in our nation and we can make sure it stays on that course...the course of freedom and liberty for at least a generation maybe two.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What we do in 2010 will affect and effect our kids, grandchildren and even our great-grandchildren.  What we do in 2010 may even affect and effect the grandchildren of our great-grandchildren.  I kid you not.  We could touch 5 generations of our families by what we do in 2010.  That is roughly 100 years.  A century.  (And for those who think the world will end in &lt;a href=&quot;http://42647vrbqdnzl18hrfk-36yiov.hop.clickbank.net/?tid=123009MCB&quot;&gt;2012&lt;/a&gt;, it was just a movie.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now before you go and say 100 years is a long time and nothing we do can affect those so far in the future, look back to the year 1910.  Oh, you probably were not alive in that year. Since 1910 we have had two World Wars.  I am betting most of you reading this were not born until AFTER World War II.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But what happened in 1910 and 1917 and 1941 and 1945 has affected you in ways you cant even imagine right now.  Not to mention a whole century has gone by in a blink of an eye.  Most of us never even had the chance to meet relatives that were alive in 1910.  They were dead and gone long before we were born.  Yet what they did in that year affects us to this very day.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Will we sit by and let &lt;a href=&quot;http://03eb6pvffhqan87pekyhaqet91.hop.clickbank.net/?tid=123009SRRB&quot;&gt;history&lt;/a&gt; pass us by because we didn&#39;t think what we do in 2010 will affect those in 2110?  Will we be selfish and only think of what we want today?  Will we not care what our posterity will have to live through simply because we wont be alive to witness?  I hope not.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As you look back on the year that was 2009, think about all the missed opportunities you had.  Think about how different your life might have been if you had but had the guts to take hold of one of those opportunities.  Would you be wealthier, smarter, better off?  Probably so.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now look ahead.  Do you really want to sit and contemplate about all the missed opportunities you had in 2010?  Do you really just want to sit through another year of &lt;a href=&quot;http://36d98xserll5xw5lzbf9xzxm5v.hop.clickbank.net/?tid=123009WSB&quot;&gt;words&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;http://36d98xserll5xw5lzbf9xzxm5v.hop.clickbank.net/?tid=123009WSB&quot;&gt;speeches&lt;/a&gt;? I hope not.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Take advantage while you still can.  You may not have the opportunity tho change America again for another generation...another &lt;a href=&quot;http://16e67jvidil3nxa9ylxf9v7t4-.hop.clickbank.net/?tid=123009LPPB&quot;&gt;Blue Moon&lt;/a&gt;.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Happy New Year.  Now lets go make history. Lets go and &lt;a href=&quot;http://f049dlychlk1v06lh6s76p5u6n.hop.clickbank.net/?tid=123009RCB&quot;&gt;Clean House&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;div class=&quot;blogger-post-footer&quot;&gt;Rod is the Coolest, most Politically Incorrect, Conservative Black Man on the Planet.

This is in spite of the fact that there was a two week conference on Global Warming in Copenhagen.  I find it very humorous that during this conference, the city got near record cold temperatures and near record snow fall and that very same city will have a white Christmas for the first time in decades.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I also find it funny that when temperatures plummet all over the planet, Global Warming popes and priest tell us that if it gets cold, its because of the same global warming that caused temps to rise back in the 90&#39;s.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But I digress.  This is the time of year that is not about global warming, global cooling, man-made global climate change or whatever else the anti mankind religious zealots want to call the natural flow of the planets climate change.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is the time of year we celebrate the greatest humanitarian, economist, environmentalist and human lover the world has ever seen.  It is a time we stop to celebrate a birth that changed man.  Indeed, this was a birth that actually split time in two.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But instead of remembering and celebrating such a birth, we run around trying to find and buy the latest fad, electronic, card or anything else our limited financial budgets can handle in order to give it to someone we say we love and care about.  We also know that those gifts will most likely be broken, thrown away or exchanged within the first 2 months of the new year, lost and forgotten in time and in memory.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yes it is cool to see a tree, be it real or artificial, propped up with loads of wrapped gifts.  Sure it is great fun to run around town in your car, van or even SUV to look at the dazzling if not dizzying display of electric candles adorning house after house.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is great fun to run about with an extra spring in our step because it is expected that everyone be more jolly and friendly at this time of year and to eat more than we should especially more of the things we should not eat at all.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But then comes the new year and we feel a sense of loss.  We crash and feel depressed often blaming it on the weather noticing how dead and dreary the landscape looks.  We exit our over heated buildings into the cold cursing and condeming the fact that global warming has not made our small corner of the world a tropical paradise.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The euphoria that we felt before December 25 is replaced by shock and dismay come January 25 as the credit card bills arrive in the mail.  We often say with a hint of denial in our voices, &quot;I didn&#39;t spend that much.&quot;  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The shock and realization of our spending transgressions is very apparent and we lament the fact that we have less than a year to do it all over again.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But some of us do carry that joy that is this holiday season in our hearts all year long.  Although we are few in number, we can and due have a huge impact on those around us.  How is this possible in a world of fast, faster and fastest?  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We slow down enough to know that this time of year is not about the tree, the lights, the spectacle, the snow, the gifts under the tree or anything else that tradition has now taught us.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We slow down and know that the greatest gift of all was not born on this day, but is celebrated non the less on this day.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The greatest gift every single human this planet has ever hosted or ever will support in life was a tiny baby born over 2000 years ago.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The reason for the season is a birthday.  The birth of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.  The Son of Man and more importantly, the Son of God.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thank you God for this awesome gift.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And, Happy birthday Jesus.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Merry Christmas to you and yours.&lt;div class=&quot;blogger-post-footer&quot;&gt;Rod is the Coolest, most Politically Incorrect, Conservative Black Man on the Planet.

Does that really bother me?  No, not at all.  Am I really a cold hard s.o.b.?  Depends on who you ask but I like to think that I am far more compassionate than the Liberal that says I am cold and hard.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How is that? Well for one, I don&#39;t go around giving people a fish and then expect them to learn how to fish all on their own after I leave.  That is what a Liberal does.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To be fair, Liberals have good intentions.  The problem is they don&#39;t think about things logically nor do they think about what their actions will do in the long run.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, yes it is very heart warming to give a man a fish today.  You know he will eat today.  You know he will feel warm and fuzzy today.  The Liberal will feel warm and fuzzy as well.  But then the Liberal goes away the next day.  The man still has a need to eat but the Liberal does not see nor does the Liberal meet that need.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They failed to give the man the fish.  So the man comes back to where the Liberal was looking for his daily fish.  But the Liberal is not there.  So the man does not know what to do so he goes hungry for that day.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I, on the other hand, would love to give that man a fish to fill his belly today.  But I think of something better.  I teach that man to fish.  I go with him and help him land his first fish.  That night we both dine and are happy and full and warm and fuzzy all over.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The next day when I leave, the man does not go to the corner looking for a fish to be given to him so he can eat that day.  He heads to the lake and puts his line in the water and catches his dinner.  He dines again that night and is full and feels warm and fuzzy all over.  Meanwhile across town, the man whom the Liberal fed yesterday and did not teach to feed himself is cold, hungry and alone.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I ask you who then is the cold, hard s.o.b.?  Not I, for I have eliminated hunger in one man.  The Liberal has perpetuated that hunger in another.  To me that is cruel and unusual punishment.&lt;div class=&quot;blogger-post-footer&quot;&gt;Rod is the Coolest, most Politically Incorrect, Conservative Black Man on the Planet.

Tareq and Michaele Salahi did what was previously thought impossible and unthinkable.  They &quot;crashed&quot; a White House party.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Or did they?  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now why is this even such news?  Why is there so much talk about it?  Why do you even have some Senators and Representatives calling for criminal charges?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Look at it this way.  No matter what you feel about Barack Obama...no matter if you agree or disagree with his politics and policies, that is not the issue.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The issue was the unauthorized access to the Office of the President of the United States of America.  This was a major security breach at best. And if the Salahi were bent on doing some damage, they could of easily carried out such an attack on the President, his guest and the White House itself.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Secret Service had a major lapse in security and I don&#39;t care who you are, you cannot blame the Salahi&#39;s for this.  All they did was show up.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So what if they lied.  Did they have the credentials and clearances to enter the party?  From what everyone involved is saying, they did not.  So even if the couple said they had an invite, if there name was not on the list and they had no written invitation then how did they get in?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To blame the Salahi&#39;s is ignorant at best and just plain passing the buck at worst.  The lapse was on the Secret Service and the White House staff.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The other issue is, the Salahi&#39;s have been spotted in a picture with then Senator Barack Obama back in 2005 leading some to think that the president knew the Salahi&#39;s if even in passing.  In other words, they were not total strangers to the president.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If this is true, and by the pictures it is true, then it it possible that some White House staffer recognized the couple and gave them the green light to enter the party.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In any event, this was a breakdown of communication and security and it put the Office of the Presidency at risk which is inexcusable.  It also showed that if someone really wants to get at our president, that it is totally possible, which is unacceptable.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If the White House were smart, they would just say that the president knows the couple from events when he was a senator and that indeed were or should have been invited.  Then quietly investigated how the breach of security happened and taken care of it.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Instead, we have opened a Pandora&#39;s box and now the whole world knows just how vulnerable our leader actually is.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then again, this could be a stern warning to our president that his enemies be they domestic or foreign, are sending a message, &quot;Barack we can get at you anytime we want.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now that indeed, is a sobering thought.&lt;div class=&quot;blogger-post-footer&quot;&gt;Rod is the Coolest, most Politically Incorrect, Conservative Black Man on the Planet.

Now I am not ashamed to say this.  Who cares?  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why is there such a media firestorm about this?  The man was in an auto accident.  No big deal.  He was probably a little drunk.  No proof of this claim but it just seems strange otherwise unless he fell asleep at the wheel.  Again no proof.  But the big thing is...why do we care so much?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Look the man is human.  He makes mistakes.  So what if he is having an affair with another woman (or a man for that matter).  Again I have no proof so I cannot say for sure what all the issues are that are surrounding this car accident.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The bigger question is why is there such media coverage, such media frenzy over this?  What about the Global Warming Hoax?  Don&#39;t here that kind of media fanfare over this mess which has far more importance of weather or not Tiger was drunk or coming home after an evening tryst with someone other than his wife.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But if you Google the Hoax and Tiger Accident you will find far more &quot;hits&quot; for Tiger than you will over the Hoax.  Now this is a sad commentary on our popular culture.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Don&#39;t people understand that Global Warming will limit how, where, when and even who they get to see on a daily basis?  Don&#39;t people understand that Global Warming will cut them off from their beloved movie, sports and music stars?  The stars wont be able to travel.  Movies will be severely cut back due to the fact that movies are not really needed but use a lot of our limited resources.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Don&#39;t people understand that Global Warming will limit their ability to use their big screen TV&#39;s to see their favorite star?  Don&#39;t they understand that they will not be able to drive their gas guzzling vehicle to their local Walmart to buy that new CD or DVD?  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But somehow the Tiger car accident is more important than the huge Global Warming Hoax that has been uncovered over the past week.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I guess we should be thankful that it was not Tom Cruz in that car.  I am sure that would have been an even bigger story.  After all how could Tom get in an accident unless he was not listening to the latest tape from the Scientology church.&lt;div class=&quot;blogger-post-footer&quot;&gt;Rod is the Coolest, most Politically Incorrect, Conservative Black Man on the Planet.

Now I have to put in my two cents if you will.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;First of all, I have known for years that the information about Global Warming was suspect, fake and just plain junk science.  Why?  Because, as I often repeat, I grew up in an age when these same Global Warming theorist were touting, teaching and indoctrinating children about the danger of Global Cooling and the coming Ice Age that we would have by the 21st Century if we did not do something to change.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This thought was so pervasive that even Dr Seuss got into the act and produced a TV special called &quot;The Amazing Mr. Lorax&quot; in which the destruction of the forest in order to heat our homes was going to produce so much pollution it would block out the sun and plunge our planet into an Ice Age and kill millions upon millions of people.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Don&#39;t believe me, then view the series of videos below from YouTube.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width=&quot;425&quot; height=&quot;344&quot;&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;movie&quot; value=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/v/o-Y0Az-4wUg&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;&quot;&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;allowFullScreen&quot; value=&quot;true&quot;&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;allowscriptaccess&quot; value=&quot;always&quot;&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/v/o-Y0Az-4wUg&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;&quot; type=&quot;application/x-shockwave-flash&quot; allowscriptaccess=&quot;always&quot; allowfullscreen=&quot;true&quot; width=&quot;425&quot; height=&quot;344&quot;&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width=&quot;425&quot; height=&quot;344&quot;&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;movie&quot; value=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/v/w239_h1yRnk&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;&quot;&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;allowFullScreen&quot; value=&quot;true&quot;&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;allowscriptaccess&quot; value=&quot;always&quot;&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/v/w239_h1yRnk&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;&quot; type=&quot;application/x-shockwave-flash&quot; allowscriptaccess=&quot;always&quot; allowfullscreen=&quot;true&quot; width=&quot;425&quot; height=&quot;344&quot;&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width=&quot;425&quot; height=&quot;344&quot;&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;movie&quot; value=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/v/xLnJd7mPx1g&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;&quot;&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;allowFullScreen&quot; value=&quot;true&quot;&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;allowscriptaccess&quot; value=&quot;always&quot;&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/v/xLnJd7mPx1g&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;&quot; type=&quot;application/x-shockwave-flash&quot; allowscriptaccess=&quot;always&quot; allowfullscreen=&quot;true&quot; width=&quot;425&quot; height=&quot;344&quot;&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width=&quot;425&quot; height=&quot;344&quot;&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;movie&quot; value=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/v/XvjirBMcUfY&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;&quot;&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;allowFullScreen&quot; value=&quot;true&quot;&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;allowscriptaccess&quot; value=&quot;always&quot;&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/v/XvjirBMcUfY&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;&quot; type=&quot;application/x-shockwave-flash&quot; allowscriptaccess=&quot;always&quot; allowfullscreen=&quot;true&quot; width=&quot;425&quot; height=&quot;344&quot;&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width=&quot;425&quot; height=&quot;344&quot;&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;movie&quot; value=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/v/N2WDVamI2BA&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;&quot;&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;allowFullScreen&quot; value=&quot;true&quot;&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;allowscriptaccess&quot; value=&quot;always&quot;&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/v/N2WDVamI2BA&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;&quot; type=&quot;application/x-shockwave-flash&quot; allowscriptaccess=&quot;always&quot; allowfullscreen=&quot;true&quot; width=&quot;425&quot; height=&quot;344&quot;&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;object width=&quot;425&quot; height=&quot;344&quot;&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;movie&quot; value=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/v/jBdiNRZFQ-Y&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;&quot;&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;allowFullScreen&quot; value=&quot;true&quot;&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;allowscriptaccess&quot; value=&quot;always&quot;&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/v/jBdiNRZFQ-Y&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;&quot; type=&quot;application/x-shockwave-flash&quot; allowscriptaccess=&quot;always&quot; allowfullscreen=&quot;true&quot; width=&quot;425&quot; height=&quot;344&quot;&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This, combined with the documentation of fraud recently released, how is it those like Ed Begley, Jr. still pro port that the science is sound and just and true?  Its a religion plain and simple.  In fact its more than a religion.  There is now NO reputable proof that Global Warming exist now or that it ever existed.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But that won&#39;t stop the radical left from trying to tax you into oblivion just to control your life.  Hey, just like Ed, the left wants you to drive unsafe tiny cars, cut back or eliminate your meat consumption and otherwise reduce your standard of living to an acceptable level of Earth Damage Neutrality.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So now Junk Science gets to rule our lives.  What next Junk Political Policy?  Oh wait, we have that too.&lt;div class=&quot;blogger-post-footer&quot;&gt;Rod is the Coolest, most Politically Incorrect, Conservative Black Man on the Planet.

How can I, Rod Eccles, believe there is a logical case for Health Care Reform?  Am I not the one that shines the beacon of freedom and liberty all across this nation?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, yes I am.  And I can make a logical case for some kind of Health Care Reform.  It really is not contradictory to my beliefs or to the love of freedom and liberty.  In fact I can give a logical argument that shows that this kind of reform would benefit every man, woman and child in our nation and have a ripple effect around the world.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We are about to celebrate a very auspicious holiday.  One filled with somber attitudes, joyous revelations and the great company of family, friends and food.  Thanksgiving is a holiday intended for the people of this great nation to honor and give thanks to Almighty God for His providence and blessing upon us as individuals and upon us as a nation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We are truly blessed.  And that blessing comes to us each as individuals in the form of freedom and liberty.  We are born with such freedom and liberty as a child of God weather or not we believe in the Holy Father above or not.  An atheist has the same freedom and God given rights as a devout Christian or Jew.  In that respect, the Lord does not discriminate.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How does this relate to Health Care Reform from a logical standpoint?  Simple.  No matter what the issue is that we face as a nation or as individuals the same basic principle applies.  You have the God given rights of freedom and liberty to do what you please in order to make your life as you see fit.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But when you get others who start to dictate what you can be and cannot be, when you have others breathing down your neck telling you what you can and cannot do and what you must and must not do, think or say, then you are denied the very freedom and liberty that God Himself bestowed upon you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With that said, I must tell you, that because these rights are bestowed upon you by God at your birth (actually at your conception) you do not have the right to give them up to another man.  And no one has the right to take them away.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Freedom and liberty has allowed man to do so many wonderful things throughout history.  Yes, it is equally true that the same freedom and liberty has allowed man to do many equally horrible things.  Which is why this kind of freedom and liberty is a responsiblity of the most high.  You cannot wield such gifts with malace.  All of mankind will suffer if you do.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And with that, here is the logical argument for Health Care Reform.  Since the government has already and still wishes to limit your freedom, that is the cause for such disdain and inefficiency of our health care system.  To truly reform our Health Care System, you need to return the freedom and liberty back to the people from which it was taken.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The health care industry is probably the most regulated industry in all the world, not just our nation.  It has government rules and regulation up the wazzoo.  This creates all kinds of problems as we see everywhere across the globe.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Government needs to get out of the health care business.  It needs to leave it alone with minimal regulation.  Yes, I said minimal regulation.  Look, our system grew over the past 200 years without massive government intrusion and intervention and it only got better.  Then came government over regulation and things started to go south.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cost rose, people were denied insurance coverage and so on and so on. What we need to reform our system is government DE-regulation not more regulation.  Its simple and logical.  Return the freedom and liberty back to the people from whom you stole it and magical things will happen.  Hey, after all we are a nation that was built from nothing to the most powerful on the planet with nothing more than our God given freedom and liberty.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I think that is proof enough of what Gods blessing can do for a nation.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours.&lt;div class=&quot;blogger-post-footer&quot;&gt;Rod is the Coolest, most Politically Incorrect, Conservative Black Man on the Planet.

We have all heard how we need to save energy.  We have all heard that we should could cut back on our consumption of energy via buying energy saving light bulbs, turning our thermostat down to 68 or 65 degrees.  We have had it beat into our heads that we should drive less, buy more fuel efficient cars and group errands together to reduce the number of miles we drive.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We have heard that buying Energy Star rated appliances is a good thing.  That watching less TV and playing fewer computer games will help save the earth.  Yes we have even been told that eating less meat or even just eating less will also go a long way to curbing Global Warming.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So imagine my surprise when I read a Reuters story about how people are taking all that advise to heart and not using a major appliance in their home.  Well that is not the surprise.  Of course people want to save money if they can.  Especially in these hard economic times.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;People are turning off their electric or gas powered cloths dryers and choosing to let mother nature handle the drying chore by simply hanging their clean yet very wet clothing on the dry line outside their homes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How could anyone be more frugal unless they washed those same cloths by hand?  The surprise does not come from people turning off their dryers...yet the surprise comes from others not wanting those people to hang their clean laundry outside at all.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I kid you not.  There are families in the United States of America that are currently fighting for their right to hand their laundry out to dry.  Can someone tell me why would you not want someone to hang their laundry?  The two main excuses is that it makes the neighborhood look like trailer trash and neighbors say they don&#39;t want to see thongs and other undies on the lines. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now first off, isn&#39;t that a very un-American thing to say about people who live in the numerous mobile home parks across the nation?  Yes it is.  And are you not being a bit nosy if you scope out your neighbors drying laundry looking for that thong or g-string?  Why yes you are.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So I ask you, what is so un-American about hanging your laundry out to dry?  After all celebrities do it all the time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Check the story out here.  &lt;a href=&quot;http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20091118/us_nm/us_usa_laundry&quot;&gt;U.S. residents fight for the right to hang laundry&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;blogger-post-footer&quot;&gt;Rod is the Coolest, most Politically Incorrect, Conservative Black Man on the Planet.

Holder cannot seem to answer simple questions with simple answers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sen Lindsey Graham presses holder on the issue about the chief architect of the 9/11/01 attacks on our nation.  Holder gives clear indication that he believes that bin Laden could in fact be tried under civilian law in a civilian court complete with a lawyer and Constitutional Rights and Protections.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When did we throw plain common sense out the window?  How is this going to help keep our nation and we citizens safe?  Simple answer - it won&#39;t.  It will make us more of a target.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Our poor military people will have their hands tied and anyone caught on the field of battle will have to have their rights read to them.  In such cases, I am sure our military people would just shoot all those captured instead of actually capturing them. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This would make the battlefield even more dangerous because just like in WWII when you have no chance at living even if captured then you will fight to the bitter end.  That will result in more US casualties.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yet our President and his administration obviously knows this but they just don&#39;t care.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width=&quot;425&quot; height=&quot;344&quot;&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;movie&quot; value=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/v/7B5bkzypa6Y&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;&quot;&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;allowFullScreen&quot; value=&quot;true&quot;&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;allowscriptaccess&quot; value=&quot;always&quot;&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/v/7B5bkzypa6Y&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;&quot; type=&quot;application/x-shockwave-flash&quot; allowscriptaccess=&quot;always&quot; allowfullscreen=&quot;true&quot; width=&quot;425&quot; height=&quot;344&quot;&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;blogger-post-footer&quot;&gt;Rod is the Coolest, most Politically Incorrect, Conservative Black Man on the Planet.

There were some wins, some losses.  What did we learn from them?  Did we learn anything at all?  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;First and foremost, I would hope that the GOP learned a huge and valuable lesson.  Although I will not hold my breath on that one.  It seems the Republican Blue Bloods are quick to spin the elections almost as fast as the Democrats.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Clearly from what most of us on the right side of the political isle can see is that there was a massive shift back to the right.  There was also a massive rebuke of our sitting president.  After all, Obama put a lot of political clout on the line when he went to bat so heavily for Corzine of New Jersey.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The biggest lesson the GOP and the Democrats should learn comes from Upstate New York where an upstart, never before elected, Doug Hoffman almost walked away with the prize.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hoffman did not get the nod as the GOP nominee in the special election.  The GOP instead appointed a liberal Republican to run against a liberal Democrat.  Hoffman, rightfully so, did not see that the voters had a choice in that match up so he put his hat in the ring.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No big money backers, no party backing.  Just a grass roots effort that almost paid off.  But wait, it did pay off and it paid off big time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hoffman not only began to raise money and get his message out even though he was not being covered at first by the Lame Stream Media, he moved up in the polls and he moved up rather fast.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So fast was his ascension that the Republican Nominee withdrew from the race at the last minute because she was polling a distant third.  But then of course as we all knew, the Republican nominee, being as liberal as she is, put her support behind the Democrat.  That caused the GOP to scramble to back and support, although from afar, Hoffman.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The lesson is that Hoffman was a clear conservative cut from the Reagan cloth.  People began to hear his message and they began to agree with it.  All the Democrats could do was pray that the clock would run out on Hoffman and try to stunt his growth by saying there was too much &quot;outside&quot; influence in the campaign.  Which is very laughable since Hoffman did not have big money backers like the Democrat Owens did.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What the GOP should have learned is that Reagan Conservatives still live and breath and that this is what the people really want.  True conservatives.  In fact, it looks as though some dozen Republicans will be facing stiff competition for nominations for their seats in the 2010 mid-term elections.  True Conservatives have put the GOP on notice.

The environmentalist wackos want us to regress back to the Dark Ages.  Oil men want us to drain every single drop of the Texas Tea from the earth.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then you have the, how can I put this nicely, IDIOTS talking about Global Warming even though science is proving on a near daily basis that Man Made Global Climate Change is not and cannot happen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We have President Obama and Democrats and other Liberal groups all over the world telling us that we need to FIND alternatives.  We have governments spending the money of hard working people all over the world on researching &quot;alternative&quot; fuels.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Listen up folks, we already have alternative fuels available to us to power nearly every car, truck, home, light bulb, dishwasher, computer, hot water heater or just about anything else you can think of that uses oil, gas, electricity or even hot air.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thats right, we already have the alternatives.  And they are clean alternatives.  And NO I am not talking nuclear power.  (I am not a huge fan of nuclear power anyway and it really has nothing to do with what to do with the waist.  Its just expensive and the danger from our enemies to attack these plants is just too great.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now you may be asking what alternatives do we currently have?  Good question.  The answer is not &quot;clean coal&quot; although it can be in the mix.  It is not bio fuels.  Why the hell would you want to take food for humans and turn it into fuel?  Makes no sense when you have other alternatives that are cleaner and more efficient.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I&#39;m talking about WIND, SOLAR, GEO THERMAL and ... Hydrogen.  Yes hydrogen.  No hydrogen does not have to be dangerous.  No hydrogen does not have to be liquefied at super cold temperatures.  No hydrogen does not have to be packed as a &quot;fuel cell&quot; which is rather inefficient and costly.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lets take a look at wind: We can&#39;t build wind turbines because environmentalists say they kill birds or spoil the natural beauty.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lets take a look at solar: We can&#39;t build solar fields because it kills lizards, rare flowers and other animals on the ground and spoils the natural beauty.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lets take a look at geo thermal:  We can&#39;t build more geo thermal because they are big and ugly buildings and it is limited to a very small part of the country.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lets take a look at hydrogen:  We can&#39;t use hydrogen because we don&#39;t have the technology to produce it cheaply or fast.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The above are all myths.  Yes MYTHS.  First of all, just about every single home in the nation can benefit by putting a small wind turbine and solar panels on their property.  Will people be able to get all of their energy needs from these energy producing resources?  For most of us probably not, but you could reduce your external energy consumption by up to 80%.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How about geo thermal?  Simply put, you can heat and cool your home or building using a geothermal system.  Yes it is a little more expensive than a traditional oil or gas heating system but it will pay you back in quick order and you wont need to supplement your heating and cooling needs with external resources.  And geo thermal is clean and quiet.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hydrogen?  Well, a company called United Nuclear has come up with a devise that can let you MAKE your own hydrogen from your own water.  Check it out &lt;a href=&quot;http://switch2hydrogen.com/&quot;&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now if a homeowner or building owner were to use all of the above, they could reduce their external energy needs up to 100% and even be able to sell the excess power back to the local power grid.  (Imagine if just 25% of US homes and buildings were able to send clean power back over the power grid instead of taking it from that grid)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why has not the world governments pushed for this kind of evironmentaly sound energy production?  Because all of those above alternatives do not produce a drop of green house gas.  That means they cannot regulate, tax and control it.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Come on people, use your head now.  We have cars that run on compressed air engines.  We have the ability to make our homes mini power plants and not put a lick of green house gas in the air.  We have the ability to affordability turn every gas car and truck into a hydrogen vehicle.  Again, producing not a lick of green house gas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So why does our government and other governments and the United Nations ignore all of this?  It all has to do with money and control.  For crying out loud, Saudi Arabia is now talking about needing financial assistance from the rest of the world when oil stops being the main source of energy production.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Still think this is not about control and money?  Think about it, if we had free or nearly free, endless, clean energy would their be a need for so much regulation, taxation and reduction?  No.  Still don&#39;t think its about control and money?  You need to re-read this post then.&lt;div class=&quot;blogger-post-footer&quot;&gt;Rod is the Coolest, most Politically Incorrect, Conservative Black Man on the Planet.

I say phony because Congress knew when the bonuses were going to be paid and how much those bonuses were going to be yet none of them objected.  In other words, they approved of the bonuses.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now fast forward to this week.  You have an un-Constitutional policy maker in the form of a czar that will determine what 25 top executives in each of the 7 largest government bailed out firms will earn.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You may be saying &quot;good its about time&quot; because you may think they earn too much.  Well yes, earning $100 million in total compensation from a company that nearly went out of business does seem to be a bit excessive.  OK so its very excessive.  However, that does not give the government the right or the power to limit pay.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now understand something.  Competition is still in high gear here in the USA and abroad.  Garnering the top executive talent is more important than ever before.  Now I ask you, who is going to take over the helm of a troubled company, try and turn it around by working monster hours, not to mention having government regulator breath down your neck daily causing you numerous headaches for a measly $200k per year?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Before you say you would, you better think again.  Lets just say you are a top executive and you are in demand.  Would you go to work for a company that is not heavily regulated by the government and can pay you $500 or would you work for a company that is still in financial trouble, heavily regulated by the government and can only pay you $200k?  Well unless you are a total moron, you would go for the easier half million payday.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We are talking about private sector jobs hear people.  Now how about all those public employees?  You know the people who get paid by our tax dollars.  Yes, those idiots who sit in Washington, D.C. and draw a paycheck from We the People.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now understand those czars really don&#39;t do a darn thing to add to the bottom line of this nation or its citizens or the private companies.  Yet these people pull down hefty incomes.  At last count I found there were some 36 czars in the employ of the Federal Government each pulling down a salary between $150 thousand to $175 thousand dollars per year.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That is very close to what those senior executives that add to the bottom line of our nations gross domestic product will be able to earn under Obama.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also notice how these executives will no longer be RICH.  Yes that is right, they will no longer be wealthy.  Remember during the campaign Obama pegged rich as anyone earning $250k per year or more.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These executives have just been demoted to not rich.  And if it can happen to them, it can happen to you.  Unless of course, you go to work for the government.  Then you could earn a comfy salary, do hardly anything, make waves by saying you are doing something and in the end, end up rich.  But don&#39;t worry, if you look at those who occupy the halls of power, you won&#39;t have to pay much if any taxes on your new found wealth.&lt;div class=&quot;blogger-post-footer&quot;&gt;Rod is the Coolest, most Politically Incorrect, Conservative Black Man on the Planet.

I was just sampling different shows, some political and some not.  I began to notice something.  It just hit me like a ton of bricks.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But I doubted my thoughts.  I thought &quot;this cannot be true&quot;.  So I went and did a little research.  I really didn&#39;t have to look too far or wide.  All I had to do was use Google, Yahoo Search, Facebook and Myspace.  Yes Facebook and Myspace can be used for research.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All I had to do was type in my key words and everywhere I searched, I got a ton of hits back.  It didn&#39;t matter what key words I used, they all turned up hundreds of thousands of hits. Sometimes the hits numbered in the millions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So I knew I was on to something.  I knew that there was an issue in our nation.  I knew that we cannot believe what we spend billions a year on.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now what was it I was researching?  Self Help; Motivational, Life Coach, Motivational Teachers/Speakers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;People like Tony Robbins, Jack Canfield, Les Brown and even movies like The Celestine Prophecy and The Secret kept popping up.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now why was I looking for such things and how the hell does all of that relate to politics and freedom and liberty.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, its pretty simple and very logical.  We are a nation of people that search for ways to improve ourselves.  We turn to those who can teach and motivate us to be our best; to reach levels of personal achievement we only could dream about before these gurus and movies.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All of this stuff has one thing in common.  ONE THING.  They all teach that YOU are the change that you need to make in your life.  YOU are the only person that can achieve all that you want in life.  YOU are the only one that can make yourself rich, happy, safe, cool, smart, etc.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These gurus make millions and millions and we, the people of this nation gladly turn over our hard earned money to learn the so-called secrets these gurus claim to have.  But when it comes down to it, ALL the gurus say the same thing.  YOU are the only one that can make a change in your life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We believe that to be the truth.  We know that to be the truth.  We have seen and/or experienced that to be the truth.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So why is it in a nation that prides itself on self esteem and self motivation would be so willing to turn over their freedom and liberty to a government?  Why is it we read and watch and listen to gurus tell us that we are responsible for our own lives yet vote for those who will take away our ability to be responsible for our own lives?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is a huge disconnect there.  It makes no logical or emotional sense.  Yet here we are.  A nation full of self esteem citizens that vote for people who want to keep us from realizing our dreams.  And we justify it by saying, we need to do something or that the government can give it to us for free.  That is a direct contradiction to what we learn from the gurus.  It is a direct contradiction to what we believe.  We obviously believe it because we buy more and more of their products that teach us just that fact.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Isn&#39;t it time you got your moneys worth from those gurus?  If you think so, then its time to vote for those who also believe the gurus and will let you go for your dreams.  A liberal thinks you can&#39;t make it on your own.  The gurus say you can make it on your own.  Conservative say you can make it on your own.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just something to think about.&lt;div class=&quot;blogger-post-footer&quot;&gt;Rod is the Coolest, most Politically Incorrect, Conservative Black Man on the Planet.

Well, everything if you are not of the &quot;right&quot; political persuasion.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why do I bring this up?  Because over the past few days we have heard a lot about one rich man in this country being part of a group of rich people putting their hat in the ring to buy an National Football League franchise...the St Louis Rams.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The rich man?  The super talker, Rush Limbaugh.  Granted, Rush is an admitted Pittsburgh Steeler fan (as am I) but Rush loves the game of football.  Now I must say I don&#39;t see a darn thing wrong with Rush owning in whole or in part, any sports team out there.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Even the formally portly Rev. Al Sharpton has gotten into the fray by saying the NFL should block Rush from owning a team.  Al sited the fact that Rush once had an issue with drugs and that he has said racist statements on his show and in interviews.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, Rush has been pretty open about his addiction to prescription pain killers.  And if you look at the numbers, a lot of Americans run into the same issues with these highly addictive pain medications as Rush.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Not to mention how many times in the recent past has NFL players been caught doing illegal drugs?  Most of them get a slap on the wrist and a small fine and maybe a short suspension but you eventually see them back on the grid iron.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Is it because Rush is white?  Not not really.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Is it because Rush is right?  Well sort of.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Its because Rush is right of the political center.  He is a Conservative.  And the left doesn&#39;t like the fact that the biggest and richest name in talk radio is a white conservative man.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If I were Rush, I would drop the group he is affiliated with in the purchase of the team and try and purchase it directly.  (I am sure Rush could come up with the financing)  And then I would dare the NFL to deny him based on what a bunch of racists leftists say.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And then I would ask each and every star on the Rams, who is a millionaire then fire them.  Time for some new blood in the NFL and that blood should be young men who play for the love of the game and not the millions they think they deserve.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is one black man that says to Rush, buy the darn team.&lt;div class=&quot;blogger-post-footer&quot;&gt;Rod is the Coolest, most Politically Incorrect, Conservative Black Man on the Planet.

It is the last day of the work week for many of us right?  So usually I jump out of bed with a little extra spring in my step.  Is it because I hate what I do?  No I love what I do.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But I know that Saturday and Sunday will give me a little respite from the usual political hackery that goes on in our nation&#39;s capitol.  But this Friday morning I got to my desk and turned on my computer and the first thing I saw was that President Barack Obama had just been notified he won the Nobel Peace Prize.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I thought I was still asleep and this was some form of nightmare brought on by cereal and popcorn I had for dinner which I washed down with two cups of java late last night.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well it was either a very bad dinner or the Witches of Eastwick had cast a spell upon my head and this was the side affect.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I read the story with great interest actually.  Yes, I was surprised as well.  But as I read further I found something very interesting that lead me to believe this was nothing but a set up from the very beginning.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You see, the nominations for this Nobel of all prizes had to be in by February 1, 2009.  Now Obama didn&#39;t take office until January 20, 2009.  So the man was in office for all of 11 days when someone, somewhere put his name in the hat.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No my friends, this was a set up from the very day the world found out he won the election back in November 2008.  They planned for this.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After all, what could Obama have done in less than two weeks to rate high enough on the Nobel Committee&#39;s list?  He certainly didn&#39;t do any thing as a US Senator.  He most certainly did not do anything of note as an Illinois State Senator.  And he was unheard of as a community organizer or as a college professor.  So what did Obama do?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After all, the man who now occupies the Oval Office initiated a surge in Afghanistan as one of his very first military moves.  Not very peaceful.  But he did run around the world a few times saying he was sorry for America.  He said America was mean and nasty and just plain rude to the rest of the world and that he would not let that happen under his watch.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He wanted the world to love us as he kissed leaders&#39; rings, hands and feet.  He bowed to a tyrant King.  He allowed a dictator to hug him.  He encouraged a communist nation to buy more and more of our debt and private companies.  He agreed that the USA used more than its fair share of world resources and vowed to punish his people with a new tax.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yes the world fell in love with Barack Obama.  Or at least the thugs, criminals, dictators and One World Order enthusiast did.  That is what the Nobel Committee is made up of in part.  Just like the United Nations.  Hate the USA and you are their friend.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So Obama made it clear during his campaign that he would hate the USA and strive to punish us for being a Super Power.  The Nair do wells fell in love.  A plan was hatched.  Now Obama gets to lavish himself in more wealth, thanks to a bunch of Leftist thugs who live in the worlds best country as voted on by the United Nations.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I think that says all you need to know about Obama. Do you think Obama will share some of his prize money with his brother in Kenya who lives in a hut?  Nope?

Of course those accusations almost always come from the left side of the Political Isle.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I usually respond with &quot;what am I supposed to be &#39;open minded&#39; about?&quot;  And they almost always respond with out really answering the question.  They say things like I need to consider that my way is not the only way.  Or they say it is your belief but not mine or others belief.  Or they even say, that is just too old fashioned. After all this is the 21st century now.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am also accused of not even listening or reading what the left has to really say.  I beg to differ on that.  As much as it pains my ears and eyes and heart, I do listen and read what the other side has to say.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Understand even though I do read and listen, so you don&#39;t have to hurt yourself in doing so (yea, I&#39;m a martyr like that) it does not mean that I have to embrace those ideas.  In fact, usually it further cements me in my own beliefs because the left is so out there and has no common sense to back up what they say.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well just to prove that I read and listen to the left on a fairly regular basis, (no I don&#39;t read or listen to them every day because I&#39;m sure my blood pressure would be sky high if I did) I decided to list a few of my &quot;favorite&quot; blogs and talk shows.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I must warn you, these Liberal bastions of uncommon and illogical thought will have your head spinning and if you are not careful you might find yourself feeling a little possessed like Linda Blair in the Exorcist.  So I would recommend that if you don&#39;t have your immune system built up that you take only one or two liberals per day.  Trust me on this, your sanity is one of the most important commodities you have and you don&#39;t want to lose it.  But I do encourage those on the right to read and listen to the left every once in a while just so you know what the heck they are saying about you and so you will be able to pick one out of a line up better.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Know thy enemy is always a good motto.  But then, when you read just one or two blogs you know Liberals inside and out.  They really are not all that deep.  But sometimes, through the massive frustration you will feel, you will find a gem that makes you chuckle.  And that chuckle may be what you need to brighten your day or at least give you a shot in the arm to fight even harder against their idiocy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Visit these sites with the utmost of care.  You have been warned.  If you feel a tug to the left, then visit my site and talk show to get cured with logic and truth. Oh, and don&#39;t be fooled by the term &#39;progressive&#39;.  That is just a Liberal in disguise. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.esoterically.net/weblog/&quot;&gt;First Door on the Left Blog&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://thecommonprogressive.blogspot.com/&quot;&gt;The Common Progressive Blog&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.blogtalkradio.com/OCG/2009/10/06/OUR-COMMON-GROUND-with-Janice-Graham-1&quot;&gt;Our Common Ground Talk Show&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.blogtalkradio.com/James-Hipps/2009/05/08/Gay-Agenda-Speaks-with-Gay-Film-Star-John-Gechter&quot;&gt;The Gay Agenda Talk Show&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh yes there are a lot more, but I think that is just about all you will be able to handle and still stay sane.  Give them a read or a listen but remember, they do not use their head to think.  They only use their heart.  If you understand that, then you may find it in your heart to have pity on them.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you want some fun though, call into a Liberal talk show and use logic and reason and listen to them all howl and hiss at you.  It really is great fun. But limit your fun to maybe once per week.  You know what they say about &#39;too much of a good thing&#39;.&lt;div class=&quot;blogger-post-footer&quot;&gt;Rod is the Coolest, most Politically Incorrect, Conservative Black Man on the Planet.

More soldiers die almost daily.  We have an economy in the tank and all you hear from the lame stream media is that this is going to be a &quot;jobless recovery.&quot;  Forget the fact that such a statement is a plain oxymoron.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You have a deficit growing and growing and growing.  You have three nations, including one of our allies, asking for a new world currency instead of the Dollar.  Throw in there that two rogue nations are moving ever closer to having a nuclear weapon and you have to wonder, is our President INSANE or just IGNORANT?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;President NObama is worried about green house gases so much that he has signed yet another executive order telling all government agencies they need to cut green house gases and gas use and water use by 2015 to 2020.  Forget the fact that Obama will be out of office by then and that a more sane President will most likely roll that order back.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All the while he is telling the government to cut back, he is jetting off to places around the country and the world.  Hell, he even thought he could steel the Olympics for his adopted city with just a speech and a smile.  And in order to do that he had to use not one, but TWO jets to fly over the &quot;Pond&quot;.  Oh yes it took two jets.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You see, Mrs NObama had to fly in her own jet.  So yes, the American tax payer paid for two jets not to mention the carbon footprint that had to leave behind.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yet NObama still thinks its OK to order government to use less.  I guess this is another case of &#39;do what I say not what I do&#39;.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Frankly I think its time that NObama just come clean and admit how ignorant he really is.  Then maybe we can get someone in office with a little common sense.  The good Lord knows this arrogant idiot doesn&#39;t have any.&lt;div class=&quot;blogger-post-footer&quot;&gt;Rod is the Coolest, most Politically Incorrect, Conservative Black Man on the Planet.
