Proof Why It’s Good Kerry Lost

Wow, knowing we’d be in worse shape then we are currentily with Iraq had Kerry won, it’s no telling what he could have done to our domestic situation. Kerry was all flash on the outside, but when you looked deep into him, that’s when you found his ideas where old and pure rusty. Judging the way he took care of his high priced Range Rover, which can’t even get half of the Buy It Now price on eBay, I’d say we’re one lucky country for passing on Kerry as President. ;)

Here we go again, the minority — yet very vocal — critics of the president are all over his comments [free sub. req.] to a round table of Texas reporters last Monday. The president answered a reporters direct question as if intelligent design should be taught in our schools, saying, “You’re asking me whether or not people ought to be exposed to different ideas, the answer is yes.”

With this comment came a furry of debate. slashdot, a geeks haven for tech related news, has a posting with 2,000 comments on it. That’s tremendous for any post on slashdot! Bloggers around the globe are posting heavy on this and the debate is on. But the more vocal are getting air play such as executive director Americans United for Separation of Church and State, Barry Lynn. He said the the president’s comments were “irresponsible,” even going as far as saying that the president shows a “low level of understanding of science.” Lynn boldly claimed the president, “doesn’t understand that one is a religious viewpoint and one is a scientific viewpoint.”

It’s not just the left wagging the finger at Bush either, he’s got critics from his own party, too. Republican Rick Santorum of Pennsylvania told the world that intelligent design lacks scientific credibility and does not deserve to be in our nations science classes.

Well what Berry and Rick don’t know is that Darwin’s theory — the basis of Evolution and taught as fact in our schools — lacks scientific credibility as well. Simply looking at the title of his book, The Orgin of the Species, will signify that. Read the entire book and Darwin gives not a single sentence to the origin of any species in his entire observation of animals on a deserted island. Further, Darwin goes on to make explicit claims that blacks are an inferior race and are less intelligent then whites. Yet Berry and Rick and many other critics hold all this up as “credible”. Mmm, I think someone just got suckered.

What many do not realize is that intelligent design does have scientific credence to it. In fact many well known scientists have become Christian’s in their studies and practice. Many found Darwin’s theory to have too many holes in it that made it a religious belief more then a scientific one. With Evolution’s missing links and unexplainable starting point of fish and birds as well as the progression of whales and woodpeckers, to name a few, scientists started to look at the science of the other view. What many found was the science held up dramatically. Things unanswered by Darwin were easily answered when the Evolution time line was removed and the blinds lifted from view. Thus, science could continue as God had designed it.

I could go on all day with this. The amount of proof that exists FOR intelligent design is so staggering that it is comical to hear comments from people like Berry and Rick. Their lack of understanding and pure ignorance shows how Darwin’s poor observation has fooled a world so ready to shove God into a box and close it tight. Yes, makes me wonder about all those “God Bless America” stickers I see on cars every day. I guess He can bless us, just not make us…

A letter to Mark:

“The truth is, we were never under threat from Iraq. There were never any WMDs, and Bush knew it.” — from “Bush Lies, America Cries

I loved your links that supported your other out of context “proofs” but missed the link to that claim. I guess it would be hard to find such an article since Saddam’s own Number Two man thought they had WMD’s along those other “huge number of new and increasingly venomous enemies” we’ve made, huh? Well, beside France and Germany supplying stuff to make those items and Russia milking the Oil thing, all the other enemies where cool.

Also, I’m confused by this statement: (the loss of) “…over 20,000 innocent Iraqi lives…” I don’t get why you’d be concerned with “innocent Iraqi” lives if you’re against the war. I mean, didn’t we find mass graves of “innocent Iraqi” lives? Reports indicating a number possibly ten times higher then those that have died during the war? So, please reveal to me why these lives are of importance to you now. Is it to steal the focus off the fact many said this war was for cheaper oil and low and behold, gas has jumped nearly a $1.50 since the two year war started?

I enjoy erroneous and emotional filled articles such as yours. No critical thought and all political emotion. Unfortunately, it is people with the same ideals as yours that ran this country prior to the “BushCo” that lead us to this path. More important was getting Oval Office Pleasures then protecting our nation from domestic acts of terrorism and it was reporters like you that stood next to Mr. Incompetence and said it wasn’t sex.

Bravo on your insightful analysis of Bush’s lies.

Qualcomm and Nokia, to name a couple, where dissed by the White House for this years Inter-American Telecommunication Commission meeting. The reason, plainly stated, was that they supported John Kerry’s failed bid for Presidency.

“We wanted people who would represent the Administration positively, and–call us nutty–it seemed like those who wanted to kick this Administration out of town last November would have some difficulty doing that,” says White House spokesman Trent Duffy. [Full Text]

Now of course there are some who have issue with this, namely the snubbed companies. Me, I can totally understand this. You’re going to want a team of companies who desire to work hand-and-hand with an organization and not one that wanted it exiled from town. These companies with their donations demonstrated they did not want G.W. back in Washington for a second time. I’m sorry to say, it’s just not business as usual.

I do remember being in high school and having similar situations where a large group of people supported your opponent and then you won and then all of sudden it was like, “Oh dude, we’re like best friends. Let’s hang out!” Even though you knew that was not the case.

So I agree with Bush Administration with their decision and hopefully it’ll make more companies, Democrat and Republican supporting, more cautious to send in money during Presidential Elections.

France and Germany both encouraged the U.S. to allow more time for diplomacy to work itself out with the Iraq conflict up to the dropping of the first bomb on Baghdad. They insisted it would have worked.

Well here we are nearly a year into their talks with Iran and guess what? Yup, still got those nukes a churning out there in the desert and they’re keeping to the “it’s for our economy and energy” story. With such secretive building and refusal to allow the U.N. to inspect what they’re doing, ya, I believe that.

But facts are facts and look who’s diplomacy hasn’t worked. Now granted, it hasn’t been the 14 years Iraq had so we should give a decade or two before making judgment, but you know, experts say it’ll only be 2 before they have their first nuke. Remember how North Korea was pipping the same story as these Iranian peaceful nuclear engineers are now. Now that North Korea’s nukes are made, they openly admit to them and say they’re for protection (Cover Up Story Chapter Two).

So, I ask again, how’s that diplomacy working out France? Germany? Basically the U.S. will either have to come in a save your buns (again) and clean up your mess or just let you fail and watch yet another unstable government get a nuke or two. But I have a feeling that Israel won’t let that happen, so I guess I shouldn’t have to worry about it…



“iPod One” Playlist Not PC

Man-oh-man, is this thing with Bush’s iPod getting out of control. Ever since CNN broke the iPod story, everyone’s gone nuts on it. But it’s in the story you get those silly liberals still trying to pin something on Bush or label him something he isn’t. I guess if a singer campaigns against you during the election, it isn’t kosher to listen to him. Everyone knows most musicians are liberal so are conservatives just suppose to stop listening to them?

My favorite quote is that from Caitlin Moran in which she wrote in the London Times: “No black artists, no gay artists, no world music, only one woman, no genre less than 25 years old, and no Beatles.” Oh boy, give me a break. Let’s totally politicizes this now. Shesh, you sound like Bill Mar, Caitlin! As one hip alternative band says, “open your eyes” and take a look at his cabinet. More blacks in it then any other President, ever. Including Clinton. More woman in it, ever, then any other President. More Latino’s in it, ever, the any other President. If anything, I think he’s the only white male over 50 on the whole staff. How’s that for PC? Shesh…

Yup, just like the defeated before him, John Kerry is still crying about his loss for Presidential bid. He now fingers voter fraud of sorts that put him at a disadvantage. But in truth, if you read the article, you’ll see it wasn’t really that but rather just plain and simple stupid voters. I remember a time a professor tried to tell our class that the Democratic party had the highest ratio of intelligent people that I laughed out loud. Of course he had to question my laughter and this post basically backs up what I told that professor that day.

While the post doesn’t give facts, I will present them for you. Hispanics and Blacks vote mainly Democratic. Hispanics have the highest high school drop-out rate then any other race in America. Blacks the second. Combine those up and you get a very large drop-out rate. So much so, it easily pulls down the rest of those four year graduates which aren’t even a 2-1 for Democrats to Republicans. So in the end, I think simple math will show what I told the professor that day, Democrats have a lot of high school drops outs smoking pot while watchin’ Real World (like that irony?) and sucking in all those Pro-Democrat ads. Hmm-mmm, smarter. ;)



iPodlounge Goes Political

Author: Sven Rafferty

This is a riot. I even had to get in on this. iPodlounge relayed a story about President Bush and his iPod and of course the comments started coming in con-Bush. Then the pro-Bush people got in (myself included) and it just blew up from their. In the end, it is a comical expose on how no one can separate politics from anything. The point of the article was plain and simple how the President uses an iPod and is an essential tool of his work outs yet the first commentator had to turn it into a political battle. Sad, buy hey, that’s politics, right?

On the original note of the article, I think it’s cool that Bush uses it and it does show the popularity of the iPod. Going all the way up the White House makes it a pretty sure bet that Microsoft and Real will have a tough time selling their hardware to get everyone from us to the top using it. But then again, I did hear Kerry uses a Napster player and that makes sense since the guy is clueless. ;)



Protesters March to Crawford

Author: Sven Rafferty
Tuesday, April 5, 2005

Isreal’s withdrawal of certain areas within it’s borders is a touchy subject. One that has garnered strong opinion — to the point of death — since it’s nationhood in 1947. It is a difficult thing, this debate, and I think the two leaders that will be meeting in Crawford know that. The solution is a bit tougher. If you are a believer of the Bible, Jew or Christian, then this land is the Jew’s. If live outside the Torah or the Bible, then you would not concur with this thought.

So there lies the big problem. Who do you go with? With our secular nation and the rest of the world shedding it’s theological roots and beliefs, they now want to side with the Arabs. Ironically enough, the basis for the argument for the Arabs have is that the Koran says it’s their land. I could go on all day how this shows the hypocrisy of “tolerance” in religion as long as it’s not Jewish or Christian, but I won’t. I just did want to bring this article to light before it gets tainted by the MM (mainstream media) next week.

A group of Baptist churches from Oklahoma, Colorado, and Texas are planning to descend on Crawford, Texas, next week to try to convince President George W. Bush and Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon not to give away any covenant land to Israel’s enemies.

Bob Ross is an associate pastor at Windsor Hills Baptist Church in Oklahoma City. He says he and the other pastors hope to see at least 5,000 believers on hand for an Anti-Disengagement Rally in Crawford on April 11, the day President Bush is scheduled to meet with Prime Minister Sharon there.

Here we are again, do what I say but let the ACLU silence my words. A rapist and murder whom was convicted to death will now not meet his Maker due to the Colorado Supreme Court over throwing his conviction. The reason? Jurors read the Bible. Why? They were instructed to:

…the judge in the case – as Colorado law requires – sent the jury off to deliberate about the death penalty with an instruction to think beyond the narrow confines of the law. Each juror, the judge told the panel, must make an “individual moral assessment,” in deciding whether the defendant should live.

Now how does one make a moral assessment if they are a Christian? Mmm, I don’t know, read the Bible maybe? And since they’re already laying around the court room (remember what the deputy holds why you swear to tell the truth?), I don’t see the problem here. Further, the Bible wasn’t forced on any of the jurors or even specifically instructed by the judge. But once again, the ACLU wants to insure morals are decayed and the evils of society elevated. Look to their defense of NAMBLA if you need further proof of that.

I tell you, this is just getting out of hand. While no where in our Constitution, Bill of Rights, or even the Declaration of Independence is that famous phrase written, many continue to use Jefferson’s protection of religion against believers. Fight the good fight and sign this partition to stop this madness!
