  1. Bless you for filling a bit of the benighted blogosphere with a reminder that "Man does not live by bread alone," nor by the exchange acrimonious opinions on controversial topics. True Beauty -- always a reminder that the the Universe is governed by an harmonious order high above mere human consciousness and invention.

    To remain untouched and unaware of sublimity is to miss the main point of Existence.

  5. When he set into motion a plan to take over the control of all energy in the United States through Cap and Trade, people said it didn't matter.

    When he finally completed his transformation of America into a Socialist State, people finally woke up… but it was too late.

    Any one of these things, in and of themselves does not really matter. But… when you add them up one by one you get a phenomenal score that points to the fact that our Obama is determined to make America over into a Marxist/Socialist society. All of the items in the preceding paragraphs have been put into place. All can be documented very easily. Before you disavow this, do an internet search. The last paragraph alone is not yet cast in stone. You and I will write that paragraph. Will it read as above or will it be a more happy ending for most of America? Personally, I like happy endings.
    If you are an Obama Supporter, please do not be angry with me because I think the President of your choice is a socialist, but there are too many facts supporting this. If you seek the truth you will be richer for it. Don't just belittle the opposition. Search for the truth. I did. Democrats, Republicans, Independents, Constitutionalist, Libertarians and what have you, we all need to pull together. We all must pull together or watch the demise of a society that we all love and cherish. If you are a religious person, pray for our nation.
    Never before in the history of America have we been confronted with problems so huge that the very existence of our country is in jeopardy. Don't rely on most television news and what you read in the newspapers for the truth. Search the internet. Yes, there is a lot of bad information, lies and distortions there too but you are smart enough to spot the fallacies. Newspapers are a dying breed. They are currently seeking a bailout from the government. Do you really think they are about to print the truth? Obama praises all the television news networks except Fox who he has waged war against. There must be a reason. He does not call them down on any specifics, just a general battle against them. If they lie, he should call them out on it but he doesn't. Please, find the truth, it will set you free.
    Our biggest enemy is not China, Russia, Iran; no, our biggest enemy is a contingent of politicians in Washington DC.

  7. You know the answer to your last question perfectly well, AOW. He's what-I-call Boilerplate Troll. There's a small army of them out there spamming blogs with tedious, highly verbose prepared statements probably put together by a committee in a "boiler room" or "war room" somewhere in cyberspace.

    They are the Evangelicals, Jehovah's Witnesses and Hare Krishna's of the blogosphere -- in other words a Royal Pain in the ass. ;-)
