Media Matters

Why is it that the media is not talking about what is going on in the current administration. Bush says something wrong or misquotes someone and he is demonized immediately. Obama calls a Marine Corpsman a Corpse Man and it is treated like a funny side note. He delays a visit Mississippi after the flooding and the coast of Louisianna after the oil spill and nothing is said. And so much for transparency in his administration. There is so much back door stuff going on it is like a brothel in Vegas. And now someone from the administration offered a job to a political candidate if they would bow out of a race. Where is the press? This is Chicago politics at its best. Lets bribe, con, or bully to get our way. Political parties aside, the press has an obligation to the American people to report the news and not what they feel is best for ratings. Someone being asked to bow out of a political race so that the administrations preferred candidate has a better chance is not just news, it is scandal on the level of Watergate. I want to be clear, I am an American and pray for my country every day. In no way is this meant to be an attack on Obama or Bush or Republicans or Democrats. This is simply a plea to the media to report the news without bias and stop treating the President of the United States of America like the second coming and giving him a free pass on things that they would have buried Bush on.

Climate Change?

So the new news is that they have decided to rename global warming. The new terminology is "climate change". Isn't this what most of the conservatives have been saying for years? A great book to read is "The Winds of Change" by Eugene Linden. He explains how the Earth has gone through heating and cooling cycles as part of it's process. This constant change in weather patterns has been a part of the rise and fall of several civilizations as well as integral in the migration of humanity on the planet. The simple fact, we have let climate change and global warming become so ingrained into our psyche that they have become pseudo religions. The Bible cautions us on this: "Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen." - Romans 1:25. The creature in this case is nature or the Earth. The prophets of climate change have been proved wrong already when the statistics they were using were proven to be wrong. They said the Earth is warming up, and in fact it is cooling. They said the polar ice caps are melting and will cause a rise in sea level. Let me point out one very simple, not so scientific example. When you put ice in a glass of water and it melts, does the water level rise? No it is the same because the ice has simply become a liquid instead of a solid. The solid displaceed the liquid before it melted taking up the same amount of space. So the icecaps melting will not cause the sea levels to rise, it is scientifically and naturally not possible. As for the glaciers, that may cause a slight increase, however, there are not enough on the Earth to cause a significant increase in sea level. Of course this is if the Earth was warming, which again I point out, have been disproved. In culmination, be aware of false information, do your own research, and know the facts before jumping in head first. A shallow pool of information can cause a lot of hurt.

Praising Arizona

Arizona has done something that has been a long time coming. They have made it illegal to be an illegal alien. Wait a minute, what did I just say? Illegal to be an illegal. Sounds pretty obvious to me. If you are classified as an illegal alien, doesn't that make you, by definition, illegal? I think so. I am no legal expert, but simple common sense says that if the adjective is included in the terminology, it must apply. Let's see, a red truck. If I am not mistaken, it must be a truck and it must be red. Ok, one more, how about shiny new car. Yes, I threw in two adjectives, but they both still apply. The car is shiny and it is new. So if the terminology is illegal alien, then they must be illegal. I know that some are going to argue that this is a violation of civil rights. That some people are going to be targeted for questioning. If it was not a problem, then we would not be in this boat. Pardon the pun. I think that Arizona deserves credit for doing what is right. Actually holding those that are in this country illegally accountable. Remember that many people who wish to do us harm come in over our borders and stay in this country illegally. Illegal aliens take away jobs from tax paying Americans. For the record, and I want to be clear, I am for immigration. This country was founded by immigrants and built by a mixture of people from other countries and cultures. The difference is that they came here the right way and built it with blood, sweat, and tears. Keep America safe and keep our immigration legal. Thank you Arizona for taking the lead on something that should have been the case a long time ago. We are supposed to be a melting pot of ingredients that work together, not a colander leaking in whatever wants to be part of the stew.
