Obama and McCain answer the question - does evil exist?
August 18, 2008
On July 16, I asked someone - anyone - to ask Obama one question. Does evil exist? It took about one month, but Rick Warren - during his Faith Forum Saturday night - asked both Obama and McCain the question. It’s a valid question and one that many liberals try to weasel out of.
Of course, Obama provided a very thoughtful answer that did not answer the question. When asked the question if evil should be ignored, negotiated with, contained or defeated, Obama said we should confront it. We should confront it? What the heck does that mean? As far as I can tell, that could mean that we yell at them from across the courtyard - leave us alone!
Yeah, that will work wonders. Read more
Obama says drill - but knows Sierra Club will fight
August 5, 2008
Powerline has a nice wrap-up concerning Obama’s two-faced approach to drilling for more oil and natural gas here in the States. Even though he’s now preaching that we should consider drilling offshore and open more leases in Alaska - not ANWAR - he knows that environmentalists will go to court to block every move to actually drill.
By playing both sides of the coin, he gives the impression that he cares about energy costs; and even though the oil companies can drill, they are not drilling. Squarely putting the blame back on Big Oil even though it’s not their fault.
He is not explaining why the oil companies are not drilling. Read more
Democrats, Obama send mixed message on energy policy
August 4, 2008
I have no idea where this ship is heading. Obama does not want to drill offshore, but is now willing to drill offshore. He did not want to tap into the strategic petroleum reserves, and now he does. Haven’t the Democrats been saying that we can’t drill out of this problem? Didn’t they say that the only way to lower prices was to build windmills?
On top of all that, now he wants to bring back the windfall profits tax on “big oil” and use the money to give out $1,000 checks to people. Is he nuts? Corporations don’t pay taxes you idiot. Read more
Obama suggests international community buy off Iran
July 23, 2008
How else can you put it? When I first read the Reuters story, I thought that his position on Iran going nuclear sounded a lot like our current administration’s position on Iran going nuclear.
During his visit to Israel, Obama spoke with a group of reporters and let them know - in no uncertain terms - that Iran becoming a nuclear power would be a “grave threat.” This international policy answer seems to come from the buy-them-off-at-any-price chapter. Read more
Obama - surge was a bad idea
July 22, 2008
Lots of discussion concerning Obama’s speech in Jordan this morning; many are just finding out that Barack is not as good speaking on the fly as compared to reading a teleprompter. But…
I think it is important to note a just a couple of items of interest from his current rock tour. First, he thinks the surge was a bad idea and second, his policy seems to have morphed into the exact same policy of the current administration. Read more
