The CIA and NSA discover evidence Iran has developed nuclear weapons and dirty bomb technology. Iran plans to supply nuclear bombs to terrorist groups who want to transport them to America and Israel in suicide bombing attacks. The President calls an emergency meeting of the best cabinet his party was able to provide to plan a course of immediate action to thwart this threat to American lives.

Secretary of the Interior says “I vote we should double the guards on all National Parks in Northeast Alaska so the caribou aren’t harmed.”

Secretary of Education says ” I vote we should provide free education to the madrases educated Muslim terrorists so they can learn the errors of their ways.”

Secretary of Defense says “I vote we withdraw all troops from anywhere near Iran so they don’t feel threatened.”

Secretary of Commerce says “I vote we sanction the Iranian government and stop selling them American made goods so our citizens aren’t burdened with money from their citizens.”

Secretary of Homeland Security says “I vote we place the names of the people in the Iranian government on the ‘do not fly’ list.”

Secretary of State says “I vote we open an ‘office of communications’ in Iran and talk to them so they will understand us and our common grounds.”

President Obama says “I have carefully considered the matter and have drawn upon my omnipotent judgement abilities and I vote ‘Present’.”

Junior Senator Barack Obama has always advocated a ‘no preconditions before talking’ stance in his ideas on foreign policy. This is an incorrect path in dealing with an implacable enemy, and one of several foreign policy mistakes he has advocated.

He oppposed the Iraq troop surge, announcing it would not quell violence nor allow the Iraq government time to build it’s strength and mature. It has done a great deal towards both but he won’t admit to it. He does however advocate a surge in Afghanistan to help quell the violence there. Although if he thinks it didn’t work in Iraq I can’t figure out how he thinks it will work in Afghanistan.

He supports raising taxes to grow the economy. History has shown that lowering taxes stimulates the economy and increases tax revenues paid, not raising taxes. Lower taxes increases employment as companies have more cash to hire with. More emplyees at companies means more hands to gow and build the company and more people employed to pay taxes. Two employees paying 20% is better than one employee paying 30%.

He has made several bad judgement decisions, his track record for making correct decisions is …ummm zero!

He advocated talking to Iran about it’s nuclear program without any previous concessions from Iran. President Bush sent an observer to the talks between the E.U. and Iran. Not to talk or deal, but seen by Iran as a move by the U.S. towards talking. What did this step towards Junior Senator Obama’s policy idea get? Two days later, Iran announces it refuses to cooperate with the IEAE. A week later, President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad announces that Iran has gone from 3000 uranium-enriching centrifuges to 6000.

What would be the result of actualy ‘talking’ to Iran without preconditions? Perhaps a nuclear bombing of Israel 2 days later.

The Junior Senator Barack Obama spoke to 200,000 Europeans in a speech in Germany. Prince Obama apologized to Europe about his country. “We’ve made a lot of mistakes, and there are times when our actions around the world have not lived up to our best intentions.” 

The defeat of fascists Nazis. Freeing most of western Europe from an evil dictatorship and a genocidal holocaust.

The defeat of communist Soviets. Standing strong against the Soviets, even to the brink of nuclear war, freeing the people of the soviet block and the soviets from themselves.

The Growth of prosperity and freedom. Economic booms for every country that followed the example of America. Freedom from suppression for many people all over the world.

So sorry. 

But Prince Kumbaya’s father didn’t think America was a country of mistakes to stay away from. He wanted to come to America so bad, “he wrote letter after letter to universities all across America until somebody, somewhere answered his prayer for a better life.” This is the mistake we have made. We have a country everyone wants to break into, none want to break out of.

Democratic refusal to allow more domestic territorial oil drilling, and the building of more oil refineries for over 30 years, will cause gasoline prices to continue to climb. As shown by President Bush’s rescinding the executive branch’s ban on off shore exploration and drilling and the subsequent oil price drop from $147 a barrel to under $125, gas from $4.11 / gallon to $3.98 / gallon. Even the prospect of possible domestic oil drilling has an effect on oil prices. Imagine what actual exploration and drilling would have on the price! But alas, this is not to be. The Democratically controlled congress refuses to allow any extension of territory for exploration.

It’s a democratic strategy to make the economy as bad as possible while a republican is president, in the hopes the dissatisfaction with a poor economy will be reflected on the president and his party. This will help them win the election. It worked in the past with “It’s the economy, stupid!”. So they are doing everything they can to prolong the economic slowdown, and even hyping it as worse than it is by calling a slow economy a ‘recession’. Phil Gramm had it wrong, Americans aren’t whining about a mental recession, the democratic party leadership is fooling them into thinking things are worse than they are. And legislatively controlling factors in the economy to exacerbate the effect. This is a dangerous game. They may think they can hold energy prices high until after the election, hoping the slow economy will make people unhappy with the republican party. But they are playing with the long-term economic strength of America, and the health and welfare of it’s citizens in an attempt to gain control of the government.

ANWR is a National Treasure. Tourism to the area is higher than the Grand Canyon. Photographers and Artists flock there in droves to capture the dull and boring expanse of the tundra in pictures and paintings. A National Treasure democrats refuse to allow oil exploration and drilling in. Like the outer continental shelf, so far offshore you can’t see an oil rig from shore, democratic excuses for not drilling is that they would be disturbed irreparably by it.

$5 a gallon gas is a cheap price to pay to preserve the view for fish and caribou!

Five Dollar a gallon gas

Iron is the most stable element in the Universe. Strong, a key element in the progress of man and civilization.

Real men compete in competitions like sports where they run 26.2 miles, swim 2.4 miles and bicycle 112 miles. They are Iron Men.

There is a cult of worship surrounding Junior Senator Barack Obama. Giddy schoolgirls suffering Obamamania. Media worshippers of his ‘god-like’ charisma. His record shows ”present” for votes of importance and lots of Chicago Political machine maneuvering.

No substance, dubious character.

Lots of wishful thinking and fantasy.

A vacuum.

Senator John McCain has no worshippers or followers, but has many supporters. He went to the Annapolis Naval Academy. Served 22 years in the U.S. Navy. Survived 6 years in a North Vietnam war prison ( Hanoi Hilton ). Served 25 years as a representative of the people in Washington D.C.. Still going strong and never quitting, full of character.

A man of substance and iron character.

John McCain is a real man.

Real Change in Washington politics is Junior Senator Barack Obama’s mantra. Change to what you ask? Well, he hasn’t said. He learned politics in Chicago, the most politically corrupt city in America. There, you learn things still taught from the prohibition era mobsters. “If they pull a knife, you pull a gun. If he sends one of yours to the hospital, you send one of his to the morgue.”

This is what Senator Obama has learned, as he told folks in a Philadelphia fund raiser. “If they bring a knife to the fight, we bring a gun.”

Change for Washington politics, to Chicago mobster politics.

Barack Obama visited Germany on his tour of the Middle East and Europe in an eight day crash course in world politics. While in Germany, he gave a speech to 200,000 European citizens, carried live by every news network. The entire speech. For free, worldwide press coverage for as long as the speech lasted. What a political coup!

What did Senator Obama miss to get even more photo ops? Well, he didn’t visit the wounded troops at the Landstuhl Regional Medical Center. O’ wait, the military said no press could come on the visit. O’ well, no photo op, scratch that off the itinerary. Instead, Barack Obama spent time at the gym, before going to his adoring European fans.

Worldwide covered photo op. Visit wounded troops. Hmmm.. have to do the thing that gets the best political gain and adds to his ‘god-like’ fan worship. Photo op it is.

Perhaps going down in history as the worst business debacle of all time in America, the sub prime mortgage debacle started with Bill Clinton alleviating the requirements of borrowers with the Community Reinvestment Act lowering the proof needed for credit worthiness for mortgage loans. This was an attempt by social democrats to allow more home ownership for a wider number of people not worthy of home ownership. As time went on from the enactment of the lower standards required, the line of what was acceptable by lenders moved more and more. The combination of Bill Clinton attempting to social engineer business practices that had been developed over years to avoid loan defaults, and loan originators allowing people to lie on applications for personal gain and then selling them to mortgage wholesalers has led to perhaps the worst business failures in American history.

When the government artificially lowered loan requirements based on social engineering desires instead of good business practice, the delicate balance of market dynamics changed. Unworthy borrowers received loans and criminally minded loan originators pushed bad loans onto loan wholesalers.

Loan approval rates of 72% for minorities and 89% for whites was being called evidence of racial discrimination by lenders. But perhaps instead of requiring lower standards for loan approval, minority community members should have been trained with improved abilities to meet the loan standards in place. Better education for better jobs for better pay to qualify for loans would have been a more useful effort to lower the home ownership gap.

The welfare state and the mindset it has instilled in people to not have moral standards or a desire to work hard to achieve goals was only strengthened by lowering the loan requirements by governement edict allowing unqualified people to borrow money they could not reasonably pay back.

Senator Obama seems to lack the humble self image a leader of the United States should have. Strength of character and humility go hand in hand. From his acceptance speech for the democratic nomination, to his personal version of the presidential seal, a personality of narcissism seems to be his main character trait.

In his acceptance speech for winning the nomination to try to run for president, he said it would be the beginning of the times that the rising sea levels will reverse, and that the earth will heal. Dang, the leader of America can do a lot, but Senator Obama seems to have the magic wand that could even reduce the cost of oil!

After his acceptance, he had a new personal version of the presidential seal on his speech podium. If he hadn’t been ridiculed for the seal, what would the democratic party come up with next? A new version of the National Anthem to be unveiled at the Denver democratic convention?

One of the prime arguments of Intelligent Design proponents is that no new species have been seen to have evolved. Recently, a new insect has been discovered on the grounds of the London museum.

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080715/ap_on_sc/britain_mystery_insect

This may just be a new variety of a known species, or it may be a new evolution of a known species extorting a niche in the ecosystem it has evolved for. To find a new species in an environment as well explored and documented as Britain is rare, unlike finding new species in unexplored rain forests where they simply haven’t been discovered yet. This one suddenly, spontaneously popped into existence where none had ever been before.

When Al-Qaeda attacked the World Trade Center towers in New York city on Sept. 11 2001, their goal was to terrorize the people of the world and to cripple the economies of the democracies of the world. Neither goal was fully achieved from this act. Since then, Al-Qaeda has continued to bomb, kill, kidnap and torture people all over the world in terrorist attacks. This distracting tactic has made the goal of destroying the economies of the democracies of the world through oil flow disruption and the resulting high gas prices fall under the radar of many. The rise in oil costs and the strain on economies around the world will do more to allow Islamic Fundamentalists to win the war than any major or minor military actions.

High oil prices are being blamed on many different things. Supply and demand imbalance. Financial speculators. Falling dollar value against other currencies. Geopolitical uncertainty. The price of oil was under $25 USD per barrel until September 2003 and has since risen to $147 USD. A near 6 fold increase in the cost of oil in a 5 year period.

Supply and demand imbalance is a strong factor in the cost of oil. The need by the developing countries of the world to supply their transportation sectors has caused oil prices to go up, but experts agree that the cost increase is not in proportion to the demand increase. Al-Qaeda and its sympathizers and supporters are taking advantage of this natural economic fact to bleed the economies around the world by doing what it can to add to this price pressure as much as it can with any pricing factors it can control or influence.

Financial speculators are also being blamed in part on the steep rise in the cost of oil. Speculators do cause bubbles in economic sectors periodically. They have a tendency to follow momentum price increases. Speculators in such a huge market would not be able to cause the severity of the increase seen in recent years. But just as many Al-Qaeda linked organizations attempted to profit from short selling stocks prior to the 9-11 World Trade tower attacks, speculators who support or sympathize with the Islamic Fundamentalists are helping to drive the oil price up on the global market as well as profit from the speculation of oil prices to finance any Islamic Fundamentalist Terrorist groups they support.

Oil is priced in U.S. dollars and as the value of the dollar falls, the price of oil will increase. The dollars fall in value does not account for the full rise of the price of oil, only for about $25 USD ( about 17% ) of the price increase. This is due to the fact that exchange rates of currency as well as the value of the currencies need to be factored into the effect on the commodity value if priced in a particular currency. The strength of the the U.S. dollar would only have increased the price of oil about 3% per year over the last 5 years. Islamic Fundamentalists have little impact on dollar exchange rates, it is too large a market for their financial powers to affect on any long term basis, only on very short term periods. Currency markets are fairly stable and are mostly the result of world trade forces ( exceptions being those countries where the governments actively manipulate their own currency ).

Geopolitical uncertainty causes spikes in oil prices whenever threats of violence or actual acts of violence seem to impair oil supplies. These price spikes accelerate the rise in oil prices since the oil price rarely returns to pre-spike levels. This is where the Islamic Fundamentalists can have the most impact. Oil producing countries heavily influenced by Islamic Fundamentalist ideologies as well as oil producing countries where Islamic Fundamentalist insurgencies and rebellions are active can cause price hikes of 5-10% in a day or twos time period. Iran and Nigeria are the prime examples of this. Iran has been in a war with western democratic governments since 1979 similar to the U.S./U.S.S.R. cold war. They finance and train Islamic Fundamentalist groups such as Hamas and Hezbollah with the profits they realize from oil they sell. Realizing a huge windfall from the oil price increases, they have become adept at causing price spikes any time the price seems to be stabilizing or dropping by committing provocative acts causing concerns about the safety of future oil shipments through the Persian Gulf and the Strait of Hormuz. Nigerian oil supplies are being disrupted on a sporadic basis with terrorist attacks on the pipelines and oil platforms in the country, each attack causing a spike in the price of oil. Similar terrorist attacks occur in other oil producing countries which keep a steady pressure on the oil price.

 Since 1979 Iran has been on an influence agenda worldwide and in particular in the middle east.

Support of Hezbollah with money and weapons has caused murder and mayhem in Lebanon. Lebanon at one time was considered the Riviera of the Middle East. Now as a result of the religious fanatics of Hezbollah, Lebanon is a democracy struggling to survive.

Support of Hamas has created a civil war within the Palestinian’s between the Hamas and Fatah factions. Halting any progress the Palestine’s had made in their effort’s to make peace with Israel and regain their lost lands. Hamas had bought the votes of the Palestinian people with the support of the Iranians. As soon as they where in power, they moved to change the Palestinian democratic system to a religious dictatorship model similar to Iran’s.

Iran’s research and development of nuclear technologies is acknowledged by Iran. There is a dispute about wether it is only for peacefull purposes, or if they are developing nuclear weapon technologies. Considering Iran’s President Ahmadinejad’s speech’s where he says his country would like to see Israel wiped off the map, nuclear weaponry would not be outside of their interests to achieve their goals.

Insurgency support in Iraq with money and weapons such as the explosive formed penetrating warhead has lead to deaths of the Iraq and Coalition troops trying to bring peace and stability to people who have lived under an oppressive dictatorship for decades.

Now there are reports of possible biological weapons research on endangered species monkeys being imported to Iran from Africa ( http://www.thetruthseeker.co.uk/article.asp?ID=8919 ).

In the past, Iraq was a relatively strong country and was a buffer against Iran. Iraq’s leader, Saddam Hussein, became a problem for the rest of the world, not just his own country’s population, during the early 1990’s. As a result of his invasion of Kuwait, his armed forces where severely cut back in force. To try to remain as an image of strength, he allowed he world to believe he had WMD type weapons in stock and under developement. He built sham developement sites and vehicles to perpetuate this image. He did not believe the U.S. would attack him over this and he would be able to maintain some semblance of an image of strength in his country. This miscalculation by Saddam Hussein resulted in his military deposition by Coalition forces.
