Reagan Reflections

This video juxtaposes Ronald Reagan’s observations about Washington politics against a host of outrageous contemporary liberal politicians. After thirty years, Reagan’s wisdom and political intuition are still as valid today as they were then.

The utterances of Pelosi, Frank, Durbin and others demonstrate just how out of control Congress has become and how out of touch with America liberal politicians are. Reagan, of course, makes profound sense as he usually did.

The video runs for a little over two minutes. It’s worth the time.

Countdown to Election Day

Thanks to DrJim for the reminder . . . I am re-posting (from the other site) the countdown to election day timer.

It is now less than one year three weeks until the next election. We will have the opportunity to throw the bunch of liberal bums currently in office OUT. It’s time to get politically independent and to vote for the ISSUES and not the party.

The media, will be feverishly cranking out the rhetoric about ‘all the tea-party racists out there.’ They will try and protect the liberal bums from those of us who have had enough of left wing socialist BS and gun-grabbing idiots. Ignore the media crap and just VOTE THE BUMS OUT.

Time waits for no politician. The clock is ticking.

Arizona State Route 74

When we have business in the Phoenix Metro area, a scenic route to that part of the county is the drive over State Route 74. This is also the route we will use when we want to go north on I-17 toward Flagstaff and the Grand Canyon. This hillside is typical of the vegetation along the route. Click on the image to enlarge.

The Stupidity of Biofuels

The Idso Clan at CO2 Science report on a study that reveals that biofuel production will be harmful to the environment and will cause food shortages.

Excerpt from The Large-Scale Production of Biofuels in a Food-Insecure World:

In a review article published in the Journal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, Rattan Lal of the Carbon Management and Sequestration Center of Ohio State University (USA) introduces the subject of his concern by writing that “the world is faced with the trilemma of climate change, food insecurity, and energy demand,” because (1) “there still are more than one billion food-insecure people in the world (FAO, 2009a,b),” (2) “the world food supply will have to be doubled between 2005 and 2050 (Borlaug, 2009) because of the increase in population and change in dietary preferences,” and (3) “the world energy demand is also increasing rapidly and is projected to increase by 84% by 2050 compared with 2005.” And what makes the problem even worse is the fact that in an attempt to meet the anticipated increase in the global demand for energy, “the emphasis on biofuels is strongly impacting the availability of grains for food and soil resources for grain production.”

Remembering the USS Cole

cole1.jpgTen long years have gone by and the US Government – Clinton, Bush and Obama – have done nothing to retaliate for the vicious Islamic Terrorism act, the bombing of the USS Cole. The current President even had a Judge drop the charges last year. That’s disgusting behavior, but typical of the invertebrate occupying the Oval Office these days.

About the same time the charges were dropped, we made the modification to the animated “Never Forget” tribute seen in the sidebar to include the USS Cole sequence. I was in contact with Gary Swenchonis, Sr., who provided me with feedback on the Tribute. Gary is the father of Fireman Gary Swenchonis, Jr., who perished in the attack on the USS Cole. Gary Sr. asked if I could provide a tribute to the Cole victims and I was honored to include it.

You can read the ten year anniversary post by Gary Swenchonis, Sr. at his website, Terrorism: Politicians and Victims.
