That is what the crazy wacko Al Gore Environmentalists want me to do from 8-9pm. Turn off all my lights and use candles to bring attention to so-called climate change.
I looked out my window to see if any of my neighbors were doing this. I am so happy that all my neighbors lights are ON!
I am so sick and tired of people like Al Gore (loser) telling me what to drive (hybrid), and that the end of the world is near because of his Global warming scare tactics.
Sure the climate changes (sometimes warmer-called summer, sometimes colder-called winter) SO WHAT. KNOW THIS: THE CLIMATE DOES NOT CHANGE BECAUSE OF MAN'S DOING. Al Gore's Global Warming is a HOAX, a SCAM, LIES, GARBAGE, FECES, and a whole host of words I cannot say on this blog.
I am not going to sit by while the Wacko Environmentalists tell me that global warming is true and its my fault. God controls the Climate. Case closed. Mankind cannot do anything to affect the overall global temperature from moving up or down to any significance.
Do we need to get energy independent. YES
Do we need to get off Oil: NO
But we do need to get off so much FOREIGN OIL. But not because of some Phony Global Warming scare by Al Gore and his political friends. We need to get off foreign oil because of National Security.
Imagine if ANWAR were already on line, producing as much as 10% of US oil imports. It would have a huge impact on the price of oil, regulating and dampening foreign influences and, in my reckoning, causing at least a $25 reduction in the current oil price.
Here is what we also need to do ASAP.
#1. Start drilling for oil not only in Alaska but in ALL 50 STATES.
#2 Start building Nuclear Power plants in ALL 50 STATES.
#3. Continue with looking for other alternative forms of Energy.
#4. Throw the Environmental Wackos in the River. LOL....
So TURN ON your lights. Don't let anyone force you to buy a hybrid. Buy what you want, when you want it. Keep using energy how you want to. Not how some idiot Environmental wacko tells you to use it.
Don't get me wrong. I don't have anything against people who want to conserve in order to save money on their gas/electric bills. I do have a BIG problem with Environmental wackos that "Preach" to me about "Mother Earth" and how I need to love her, while at the same time these are often the same people that don't permit God to be spoken of in Public Schools.
What comes to mind is that verse in Romans 1: "they loved creation rather than the CREATOR".

President Bush thinks Protectionism,Nationalism is Bad-Wrong Mr. President, Protectionism, Nationalism-GOOD
President Bush spoke to the New York Economic Club last week.
With Iraq entering its sixth year, the dollar sinking to peso levels, the economy careening into recession, and 12 million to 20 million illegal aliens roosting here, Bush alerted us to what really worries him:
"I'm troubled by isolationism and protectionism ... (and) another 'ism,' and that's nativism. And that's what happened throughout our history. And probably the most grim reminder of what can happen to America during periods of isolationism and protectionism is what happened in the late -- in the '30s, when we had this America First policy and Smoot-Hawley. And look where it got us."
First, America was never isolationist. From its birth, the republic was a great trading nation with ties to the world.
As for Smoot-Hawley, it was a tariff enacted in June 1930, nine months after the Crash of 1929, which occurred, as Milton Friedman won a Nobel Prize for proving, when the stock market bubble, caused by the Fed's easy money policy, burst. Smoot-Hawley had nothing to do with a Depression that began in 1929 and lasted through FDR's first two terms. This is a liberal myth, probably taught to Mr. Bush by New Deal Democrats at the Milton Academy.
Isolationist is an epithet used to smear those patriots who adhere to Washington's admonition to stay out of foreign wars, Jefferson's counsel to seek "peace, commerce and honest friendship with all nations, entangling alliances with none" and John Quincy Adams's declaration that America "goes not abroad, in search of monsters to destroy."
Does Bush regard these statesmen as blinkered isolationists?
I'd much rather side with Washington, Jefferson, and Adams for advise, rather than the Neocons who got us entangled in Iraq.
Protectionism is the structuring of trade policy to protect the national sovereignty, ensure economic self-reliance and "prosper America first." It was the policy of the Republican Party from Abraham Lincoln to Calvin Coolidge. America began that era in 1860 with one half of Britain's production and ended it producing more than all of Europe put together. Is this a record to be ashamed of?
Compare protectionism's success to Bush's record. Since 2001, he has presided over the seven largest trade deficits in history, the loss of 3.5 million manufacturing jobs and the collapse of the dollar, and added but one-fifth of the private sector jobs Bill Clinton created. Gold has gone from $260 an ounce to $1,000, oil from $28 a barrel to $100.
Which is understandable. For after the judges and tax cuts, what is there about Bush that is conservative? His foreign policy is Wilsonian. His trade policy is pure FDR. His spending is LBJ all the way. His amnesty for illegals is Teddy Kennedy's policy.
Two-thirds of the nation says we are on the wrong course. Two-thirds rejects NAFTA and amnesty. Two-thirds wants out of Iraq. Two-thirds rejects Bush. Bush says that people are being misled by those wicked old isolationists, protectionists.
Yet here is the problem: Neither McCain, Clinton, or Obama are really the type of Nationalists, Protectionists, America First type of candidates that this country needs to revive itself economically. McCain is a big Free-Trader. I really don't believe Clinton or Obama care about Protecting us from cheap foreign labor and products either; I mean where were they all these years while in the Senate. I heard no calls for an abolishment of Nafta by either of them. All three of them don't really want to build a fence on Mexico's border to protect us from millions more illegals coming here.
So once again, we are left with less than ideal candidates to vote for this November.

Obama's Pastor says Not God Bless America but God Da****n America
That is right Here is Jeremiah Wright yelling from the pulpit, not God Bless America but God Da****n America.
Here it is: Make sure your kids are in another room.
http://hotair.com/archives/2008/03/13/video-jeremiah-wright-and-god-damn-america/
Millions upon millions of Americans have a pastor, priest, rabbi or minister who they like, but may not always agree with in every sermon. But those Americans' religious leaders probably have never called the country "the U.S. of KKK A." It's unlikely they've ever heard, "God d***n America" from their pulpit, and I suspect many Americans would walk out upon hearing that. They've probably never heard that figure tell them that their own government invented the AIDS virus.
I love when Jeremiah Wright says that Obama is not white, is not rich, is not privileged.
What is he talking about. Records show that Barack Hussein Obama made over 1 million dollars last year. He is an influential US Senator. He is a Harvard graduate.
I'm sorry but that DEFINES rich, influential, and privileged.
Some people might say, "But this is not Obama, it's Jeremiah Wright." Yes but listen to this:
Jeremiah Wright has been Obama's Pastor for 20yrs.
Wright married Obama and his wife.
Obama calls Wright his "spiritual mentor."
Obama credits Wright with the title of his book, The Audacity of Hope.
Obama's two girls were baptized in Wright's church.
Wright is a father figure to Obama.
So Jeremiah Wright is not some "looney Uncle" as Obama NOW claims. Obama chose Wright's Church, gave thousands of dollars to Wright's Church, and has stayed there for 20 yrs.
Obama has heard Wright's messages over and over and over again.
If my pastor said God D****n America, I would walk out, denounce that Pastor, and never come back to that Church again.
Instead Obama gleefully attends Trinity United Church of Christ (Wright's Church) for 20yrs!
This is why I say that Obama would be easier for McCain to beat in November.
If I was McCain, and Obama wins the Democratic nomination, I would run these videos of Jeremiah Wright's Hate Speech over and over and over again until people start to see Obama and Wright as the same person.

McCain says, "US Jobs are NOT the primary concern"....
McCain says, "I don't care about American Jobs... I Love NAFTA
McCain says "I don't care about lost American jobs." That's right, John McCain, the man who wants to be our President, not France's President but the President of the United States of America made the above statement.
One of the smartest and patriotic men, Pat Buchanan blogged this in Human Events: To Die for NAFTA by Patrick J. BuchananPosted: 03/11/2008
"The commonest error in politics," said Lord Salisbury, "is sticking to the carcass of dead policies."Lord Salisbury's rule comes to mind on reading of John McCain's delight at the $40 billion contract awarded the French-led parent of Airbus -- to build the next generation of U.S. Air Force tankers.The contract could run to $100 billion and is a body blow to Boeing in its duel to the death with Airbus.
Two-thirds of all air-to-air refueling tankers are used by the United States. The contract gives a 30-year lease on life to the expiring Airbus A330 and means early death for Boeing's 767, the U.S. model for the tanker.
Congratulating himself for having exposed corruption in the Boeing bid, McCain purred, "I have always insisted that the Air Force buy major weapons through fair and open competition."If McCain thinks Airbus has prospered through "fair and open competition," he is beyond recall. In its first 25 years, Airbus sold 770 planes but did not make a dime in profit. It was started as a socialist cartel, subsidized by the governments of Spain, France, Britain and Germany, to invade and capture a market owned by Americans who built the planes that won World War II.
Airbus drove Lockheed and McDonnell-Douglas out of the business of commercial aircraft and almost took down Boeing.And like indolent buffalo munching grass as they are shot one by one, we let it happen.
Lost U.S. jobs should not be our primary concern, said McCain "I've always felt the best thing to do is to create the best weapons system we can at minimum cost to taxpayers."But if McCain thinks cost trumps all in building weapons of war, why not outsource the building of U.S. carriers, cruisers, destroyers, frigates and submarines to the foreign shipyards that constuct America's merchant ships? Why not hire and train foreign sailors as crews?Why not outsource the scores of thousands of U.S. government jobs handling Social Security checks and tax returns to Bangladesh and India? After all, the neocons want to hire foreign mercenaries to fight America's wars and reward them with U.S. citizenship, as the Romans did in the last days of the empire.
What does it mean to be an American anymore?
It took 20 years to wake up blockheaded Republicans to the social insanity of open borders. Only the collapse of his candidacy last summer jolted McCain into realizing that the 80 percent of Americans who reject amnesty and want a border fence are not all "bigots," as his Tonto, Lindsay Graham, said they were.
Is it going to take 20 more years for Republicans to awaken to the economic disaster they have created and the political ruin they are inviting with this fanatic faith in "free trade," while the rest of the world loots our country through mercantilism?When Europe imposes a 15 percent value-added tax on U.S. imports and rebates the VAT on exports to the United States, that is not free trade. When China devalues its currency 45 percent, as it did in 1994, and bolts it down to suck jobs and factories out of the United States, that is not free trade. When Japan manipulates its currency, preaches economic nationalism to its people, and shelters its market for TVs, autos and steel, while dumping into and capturing ours, that is not free trade.
McCain admits to knowing almost nothing about economics and is now being advised by my old friend Jack Kemp. In a Wall Street Journal essay bemoaning my views, Kemp concedes, "I'm on the advisory board of Toyota North America and now drive a hybrid Lexus."Nor is Jack the only pol who has found happiness in a foreign employ. Ex-secretaries of state and Cabinet officers, ex-senators and congressmen, and ex-White House aides are getting rich working for foreigners who are carting off American jobs, American technology, American markets, American factories -- and America's future.
Yet retribution may be at hand for our multinational GOP. In Ohio, NAFTA is a five-letter word with a four-letter meaning, as Ohio lost a huge slice of the 3.5 million manufacturing jobs that vanished under the McCain-Kemp-Bush policy of unilateral disarmament in the trade wars being waged against America.
Look at the Bush-McCain record: $4 trillion in trade deficits, $2.5 trillion in manufactures alone. One in every six manufacturing jobs, 3 million, gone. With America borrowing $2 billion a day to pay for foreign goods, we have seen a collapse of the dollar, the price of gold quadruple to $1,000 an ounce, oil soar to $107 a barrel and gas heading toward $4 a gallon.
Where Bush has created an average of 46,000 new private-sector jobs a month, Bill Clinton did five times as well, creating 220,000 a month.Hillary won Ohio denouncing the NAFTA deal Bill Clinton cut. The lady gets it. McCain remains a loyal NAFTA man. Good luck in Ohio and Michigan. As the Great Peer said, "The commonest error in politics is sticking to the carcass of dead policies."
Someone please yell into McCain's ear: NAFTA BAD! AMERICAN JOBS GOOD!

California Home Schoolers-Get Mobilized NOW-Don't Lose your Right to Homeschool
Home schooling unlawful, says California court:
Nothing is wrong with your eyes. You read that sentence right.
A three-judge panel of the California Court of Appeal has determined parents in that state have no legal right to home school. A Christian attorney in Sacramento says unless the ruling is reversed, literally thousands of students in the Golden State will be subject to criminal sanctions.
California Justice H. Walter Croskey has stated in an opinion that "parents who fail to [comply with school enrollment laws] may be subject to a criminal complaint against them, found guilty of an infraction, and subject to imposition of fines or an order to complete a parent education and counseling program." The opinion was issued in the case of one family who enrolled their daughter in Sunland Christian School, a private home-schooling program based in Sylmar.
The ruling reverses an earlier opinion from a Superior Court that found that "parents have a constitutional right to school their children in their own home." But in his reversal, Croskey refers to the "ruse of enrolling [children] in a private school and then letting them stay home and be taught by a non-credentialed parent."
Brad Dacus, president of the Sacramento-based Pacific Justice Institute, calls the scope of the decision "breathtaking."
"It not only attacks traditional home schooling, but also calls into question home schooling through charter schools and teaching children at home via independent study through public and private schools," he explains.
According to Dacus, the ruling goes against prior court decisions. "Case law in federal court and by the U.S. Supreme Court [has] already recognized that parents have a fundamental right over the education of their children," he points out. "And in fact, the lower-court judge in this decision ... actually ruled that these parents had a constitutional right to home school their children. But it was reversed by this three-judge panel in this appellate court."
Dacus says an appeal has already been filed by his firm on the school's behalf. "We're going to try to have this decision non-published and specifically tabled until a final determination by the State Supreme Court," he says. And if the decision is not reversed, says the attorney, "more than 166,000 students currently receiving an education at home will be subject to criminal sanctions."
For the time being, the decision affects four counties in the Los Angeles metro area. Sunland Christian School, says the Pacific Justice Institute, has been in full compliance with the requirements of California law for more than 20 years.
The words echo the ideas of officials from Germany, where homeschooling has been outlawed since 1938 under a law adopted when Adolf Hitler decided he wanted the state, and no one else, to control the minds of the nation's youth.
I almost fell over in my chair when I read about this horrific, unconstitutional ruling in California.
Homeschool Parents everywhere in California need to mobilize and call their State Congressmen and State Senators and Gov. Schwarzenegger telling them that this ruling is unacceptable and blatantly unconstitutional. This Judge Croskey should be disbarred and thrown off the bench. However, I don't believe the legislature will do that since they are a bunch of spineless wimps.
Well, throughout history, it is folks like Hitler and his fellow Liberal facists who attack homeschooling. Even in the last edition of Harry Potter, the first thing Lord Voldemort does is make schooling at Hogwarts mandatory.
Why?
Well, studies indicate that conservatives have more children and that there is a strong likelihood that children will grow up with the same or similar worldview as their parents.
Which means - by default - those who have more children will be the ideological majority.
So what better way to undermine the influence of parents than forcing children into public schools? Public schools where contempt for conservative values, religion, and morality is the first lesson crammed down kids’ throats.
We cannot sit idly by and watch the Liberal Facists take our Homeschooling rights away.
Fight back by first joining the HSLDA (Home School Legal Defense Association)http://www.hslda.org/Default.asp?bhcp=1
Second, call/email/write your legislators, wherever you live, telling them that you are Pro-Homeschool and will only vote for those legislators that are pass Pro-Homeschooling rights.
Third, vote only for Pro-Homeschool Congressmen and Senators.
Last, but Most important: Pray and keep Praying that God would give us Godly leaders in Governmental Office.

Someone Yell into McCain's Ear---NAFTA BAD
On Tuesday March 4th, Texas, Ohio, Vermont, and Rhode Island had their Presidential Primaries. I am saddened to see Mike Huckabee officially out of the race. He would have been the Republican's best choice to carry the Conservative message. Now we are stuck we Moderate John McCain. I agree with him on about 55% of the issues. I disagree with him on Trade, Global warming, using embryonic stem cells, immigration. However, on socially important ones, Life, Marriage, School Choice, and Conservative Supreme Court Nominees, I am 100% agreeable with McCain, so come November I will hold my nose and vote for him.
However, during his victory speech on Tuesday, he verbalized gleefully his utmost love for Nafta and what I call, "so-called free-trade". Remember, Ohio voters HATE NAFTA. Travel all over Ohio and you can see NAFTA'S remains (empty factories rusting out, empty businesses, unmployment way above the national average, lost jobs to Mexico, China). In fact a poll showed that 85% of Ohioans feel NAFTA is the root cause of lost manufacturing jobs in Ohio, yet McCain keeps screaming about the "so-called benefits" of "free-trade". CNN stated that Ohio lost 250,000 manufacturing jobs since 2000.
Yet Mr. McCain wants to tell the unemployed factory workers in Ohio about how great "free-trade" and NAFTA is.
Come November, no matter who the Democratic nominee is (Obama or Clinton), I guarantee Ohio and Michigan voters will see countless TV ads showing empty factories and unemployment lines and a narrator saying John McCain Loves NAFTA and playing his quotes on how "great" free trade is. In fact in one of the republican debates, McCain stated that he was the "Biggest Free-Trader around". Ohio is a MUST WIN for McCain in order for him to be President. He will not win unless he changes his mind on NAFTA and so-called free-trade.
For the sake of our Country and the Supreme Court, someone please YELL in McCain's Ear that NAFTA is BAD NOT GOOD.
