Some of my articles I have written.
United States of America, will we survive? written by Raymond 2/2/2003
The last few years have been hard for America. America's freedoms have been under assault from outside and from within. In less than 200 years America became the leader of the world, and the best nation in the history of mankind. No other Nation would drop bombs and yet help the enemy's civilian population by dropping food packs. Some say we waste money on space travel. I think not exploring would be a waste. In February 2001 America lost an Icon, Dale Earnhardt. Dale was hard on the track but gentle in life. He gave a lot to those in need and brought a lot of joy to many. Later in 2001 on 9-11 we were hit with the terrorist attacks. They were horrible and directed at civilians. Those attacks united America, but the war on terror has polarized America. Some in America blame America herself. I do not think that one bit, nor do I say America deserved it. We are still at war with them and will be for years to come. Now with the loss of Columbia we face another hardship. If I get the chance to go to space in the future I would go. If I was told I might die going, I still would go. But take a look around you when you are out and about. You still can go anywhere and do almost anything. The stores are still stocked full of food, clothes, and entertainment items. America is still pumping out new cars. We are still pushing foreword. America will survive, and not because we are big and bad, but because we are free.
God Bless our heroes that have moved on, God bless the common folks that are the backbone of the nation. God bless our defenders, and God Bless America. We will survive.
Why Sports Are Important during times of war written by Raymond 2/13/2003
During W.W.II our soldiers had little comforts. What they had they cherished when they had the chance. A letter or picture from home went a long way. Today we have instant communications. Where some of the troops are stationed they have TV, Radio, Email. Sports are on armed forces radio. When we are at War it gives our soldiers comfort that life at home stays the same, sports continue, Christmas shopping, summer vacations. The soldiers get some joy from taking time out to watch a football game, a NASCAR race. But more importantly when they see everything at home is in good order that means our military is doing their job keeping the homeland safe. 9/11 brought America to a stand still, even most sports stopped, It was a reminder how Important our military, and The CIA and other security and rescue forces are. They always need to be well equipped doing this prevents war. Peace through Strength works.
Partisan Politics written by Raymond 2/21/2003
From my point of view partisan politics is not about Republican vs. Democrat, its about Good vs. Evil, with the subjects of abortion, religion, God, personal freedom, personal choice of how we spend our own money, how children are educated, personal and national security, right now, from my point of view the Liberals in power are on the side of evil.

Anti American feelings written by Raymond 2/24/2003
No modern day American president, Liberal or Conservative was against human rights. Those that make such a statement are simply biased and ignore the true facts. Also the United States has never attempted to take over the world, America could have easily done that with its armed forces and industrial might in 1945. If George Bush was against human rights he would close the borders and cut funding to other nations. Without American funds many nations would collapse, the United States is the largest giver of charity in the history of the world. The anti-American feelings from other nations can be summed up easily. the answer is simple, these nations want our stuff and prosperity, they hate the fact that a free nation has had so much success. Its easy for the Hollywood elite to be anti-American in a nation that allows such speech, but none of the Hollywood elite seems to reject that big paycheck and big rich American lifestyle. The fact that America is going through the UN again and has built a 40 nation partnership to go into Iraq shows there is no rush to war. If there was a rush to war air strikes would have started over a year ago.
Where is my Paycheck! written by Raymond 12-10-03
Papa mouse sent his son into the world to work. The young mouse got a job on the docks. His job was pretty tough. He had to help tie up the ships then unload them in the rain and wind. It was also dangerous work, many mice slipped and fell in the water and drowned. After he put in 80 hours of hard work the boss gave him his pay. The mouse opened it and yelled, where's my pay check! The boss said George Bush and Congress has it, its for the dead beat mice too lazy to work and artists and new golf courses for congress. Oh and some of it goes to feed our enemies and the invading force that sneaks across the borders every day, oh and once you cash what's left those same dead beat mice will be there to ask you for more.
The Crocodile Hunter. written by Raymond 1-02-04
I saw that video and knowing Steve is a pro I saw his baby not in any more danger than most kids. More kids die in drowning or car crashes. It can be dangerous letting your child play in a public sand box. Unseen dangers lurk. But the Croc hunter, who himself first jumped on a Croc at age 10 was in control and knows the temperament of his animals more than anyone. Nobody can say they know the temperament of the driver of the car next to you or strangers in a park, or a store. Nobody can say for sure who washed their hands before they prepared your child's food in a public restaurant. How about just camping or playing near a river or a lake, that is more dangerous. If you cant raise your children to do dangerous jobs than when today's generation grows up where will the animal trainers, firemen, soldiers, police men, Race car drivers, and miners come from.
Is American morality on life support yet. Written by Raymond 2-05-04
Is morality dead in American courts?
The 10 commandments have been removed, They want Under God removed from our pledge. Christian traditions are under attack. Our flag is under assault. Babies are murdered at will, animal rights are displacing jobs, construction projects, and private property rights. Now traditional marriage is under assault. When will it end, will America survive? There are so many immoral acts going on. Some are even called entertainment. Why is the left joining are enemies in the pursuit of the destruction of American values? If We the people fail to act America will begin to stumble.
The answer is in our faith, we must be able to show our faith, not hide it. Do you make the sign of the cross in a public restaurant before you eat, or say a prayer. I have no answers. I am only 10 I cant fix America or side swipe the evil in America, I depend on our leaders. But they are failing, they are making it harder for the soldier and citizens to preserve our freedom, our freedoms were granted by God, America stands as a protector. But who stands as America's protector? That is the job of the courts, why are they ignoring their job. Our soldiers are not, they go in harms way because it is their duty.
San Francisco. written by Raymond 2-19-04
The immorality that is being sanctioned by San Francisco is very sad.
America was built on the procedure that The People are to Control the government. But the government is controlling the people and thats wrong. Marriage is between a man and a woman for the purpose of procreation. It is sacred and part of the personal relationship with God.
Is the cold war over? written by Raymond 3-28-2004
Russia is still developing weapons to counter America's weapons. Russia claims to have a missile that can evade our missile defense system. Why would Russia still be developing a first strike weapon? What does China and France have on the drawing boards since they have begun joint operations? Europe is also trying to Unite and become a superpower to "counter" America. The future is still uncertain, and with America in a political and moral civil war, America can end up in the middle of another cold war totally unprepared on more than one front. The best way to avoid this is for America to find its morals again. Stand strong against evil, Embrace our religious history, stop abortion. Stride for honor again. America dominated the world because America stood for honor, freedom, and justice. How can America continue to stand tall with abortion being supported, Christianity being snuffed out? We deploy our forces because we have to protect our energy interests. We need to be able to produce our own energy so we don't have to be in a position where we may have to rush to war to stop abusive governments or cut deals with nations that back terror. 9/11 was a wake up call, but I think America has again hit the snooze button.
Oil for Boobs. written by Raymond 6-19-2004
One thing that was horrible was that oil for food program. I think that the UN was nothing more than a crime syndicate, and they got rich while millions suffered and died, either by torture or hunger during Saddam's rule. This was more than a crime in my opinion, it was more closer to a holocaust. Where are the Hardcore investigating media reports? A movie should have been made about this by now oh but stevie boy probably wont be making it because republicans did not orchestrate this rip off of the world. Now if it was a republican behind it or an American that was secretary general of the UN then it would have been a blockbuster and a mini series. Where is filmmaker Michael Moore and his 'getting to the truth' in depth hard core docudrama on this oil for food crime? Maybe he is out there trying to link it to George Bush and Haliburton.
The Patriot written by Raymond 6-28-2004
During war, a patriot should stand strong behind the fighting soldier on the battlefield, a true patriot should support the Commander and Chief of our forces , which right now is President George W. Bush. To find the fastest solution with the least amount of loss of life. A true patriot should do things that will help America meet its goals and keep the goals honorable and moral. boosting morale for our soldiers is another job our citizens should do, this should include the media for there is no free press without a free, safe and secure America. The time to protest ended when our first soldier set foot in hostile territory and the battles began. A patriot should pray for the quickest end to the conflict that will achieve America's mission goal and secure the peace. A true patriot will support our troops on the line, not just in spirit and prayer, but with your money that you can afford, sacrifice buying that one item you want but really do not need, or with items our soldiers want, magazines, letters beef jerky, things that would boost morale when the time for protest is long over. America from outside looks divided from our enemies view, and it is. America is fighting a political civil war at the expense of our soldiers. Both sides, liberals and conservatives are failing our fighting soldiers in harms way. It is time to make a real sacrifice for our soldiers. For some that will be money, for others that would be their own personal opinion. Sacrifice for them, after all what is a night on the town or your opinion worth compared to the life of the soldier when they are spilling their blood for the freedom of people, both Americans and others. Save your opinion or protest for election day. Once we have boots on the ground under fire attention to find ways to support them to secure peace through honorable ways. America is one nation under God, it is time we stand together and give the term ONE meaning. We are the United States of America, let us live up to the word United. This Fourth of July is for our soldiers, let us remember those who paid for our independence and those who maintain it. Also pray our soldiers will not be needed to go in an fight revolutionary wars. Since the cost of war is high in money and priceless in lives, let war be an action of last resort only. During war, remember that, our grunts did not ask to go into combat, weather the war is just or not, do not hate or blame the soldier that is fighting a war ordered by the politicians. The best way is to use the ballot box and the mail box. Write your federal representative. Protesting in front of the media while our soldiers are under enemy fire can aid the enemy and inspire them to capture, torture, and murder noncombatant personal. This Fourth of July is for our soldiers, let us remember those who paid for our independence and those who maintain it.
These are my own personal opinions. If you don't like them, then please, go take a nice brisk hike, don't forget to take plenty of water and a nice snack and go have an enjoyable peaceful day by planting a Redwood tree.
Stem Cells. Written by Raymond 10/19/04
This has turned into a nasty subject, but I do not support any medical procedure that comes out of intentional killing a human embryo that can develop into a baby. I would rather die than let somebody kill a human embryo to cure my cancer.
Don't Feed The Democrats. written by Raymond 5/20/2005
The process of nominating and approving federal judges for the supreme court. President George Bush was chosen by the people of The United States to lead and make choices of where to take America. This includes his duties of nominating judges and Ambassadors. Also it is the people of the United States that chose their senators, each senator should be allowed to give his or her approval or denial of the judge President George Bush has chosen. What we have here is the minority democrats throwing a temper tantrum because they lost at the ballot box and did not get their way. They are called the minority for a reason. Majority rules. As far as the checks and balances go, well that is what election day and the process of impeachment is for.
Now that the 2005 fourth of July celebrations fade into the past. Where are we today. America still stands strong but our enemies are growing. Some say we should just use our military for our own defense. But the world is smaller today and our economy is locked into the global economy. Our life saving capabilities in natural disasters are un equaled by any other nation on earth. Our freedom cannot only be defended by our warriors, but our freedom can be secured by the ordinary American citizen. It is easy, get involved, look at your core moral belief and fight for it. Write your politicians. Defend our right to hunt, camp, use public lands. Recently the ability to take your private property and sell it off to businesses or corporations might just be easier for the government and harder for the citizen to fight. Hundreds of years ago the British began liberal changes in laws on the colonies. The colonists resisted change and took up arms and won independence. Later in 1812 America again fought off the British again. America did not see another enemy occupation of U.S. Soil until the Japanese landed in the Aleutians. Let us all do our part. If you can vote, educate yourself on the issues and vote. If you can't vote yet, you still have a voice. The internet is one way where you can use your voice. In the 1700s America won her independence. Today It is our ongoing job to keep it free and it is up to us, the American citizens to do our best to preserve America's good moral ways and rid her of any new or existing immoral ways.
Freedom written by Raymond 7/5/2005
Here is my position, once again on sacrificing Human embryos to 'save' lives. In the future when I am in my death bed and a doctor came to me and said "we have a new procedure, we harvest an embryo
(Rip a baby from suspended animation from storage, or from inside a woman)
disassemble genetic material (Future arms, legs, brain, heart, etc) from it, Then we remove your stem cells from your marrow, splice it to repair your bad DNA, reintroduce it into you and let it repair your immune system so your new beefed up immune system will seek and destroy your cancer wah-lah you are now cured" I would reply "you are taking a baby not yet born, take its life chop it up to save me" Well with Passion I would borrow and modify something a guy named Johnny Paycheck said and say, "Take your cure and shove it, I'm a walking out the door with God", Yep that would be my answer, I'd rather die, than have them kill a unborn baby to save me.

Fear nothing for Your Soul is never lost, it is in the hands of God, Death will never touch it.- Written by Raymond Bautista, cancer survivor 8/28/2005
For without America being the big brother to the small nations of the world.
Freedom from evil dictators and the nations they hold hostage would continue to gain power on earth. Through our strength, freedom on earth continues to grow.
Why America deploys forces around the globe written by Raymond 10/10/2005
Reality Check Written by Raymond 11/5/2005
America will stand by and watch China take over the world, we feed the Chinese war machine willingly and proudly, soon the MIG 1.42, A Russian design to counter the F-22. China will soon have the money to deploy, and improve these fighters in large numbers. What does America do? We fight and kill each other off at home while spreading our military so thin to the point that we have to cannibalize equipment to attempt to complete whatever mission is handed down to it. China will have to do nothing but wait and watch. They make loud advances in space flight, America responds with hopes and dreams of going back to the moon , then on to mars. Ha, NASA can barely keep the costly shuttle flying safely, the only one making progress is Burt Ruttan and his company Scaled Composits. The only private company to obtain space flight at a cost that should make the hawks at NASA pick up the phone and schedule Burt to come to teach NASA a few things. The Shuttle costs more to fly than the old Saturn V did. Let's all hope that Lockheed and her wiz kids and the U.S. Air Force has a few black projects operational that make the SR-71 Blackbird look like the wright Brothers and the Bell X-1 look like a paper airplane. We beat Russia without firing a shot, a strategy right out of the page of Sun Tzu's book, The Art of War. Just remember what area of the world Sun Tzu came from. America needs to wake up, come out of the dark and bring some of her fancy toys with her so we can once again say china makes great firecrackers and toys rather than MIGS and Space Rockets.
A few pictures of myself with my friends.
Our government has become so powerful that it is at a point where a few now lead the many rather than the many leading the few. When propositions are passed the minority sues and get them overturned. The second amendment exists on paper only in most places. Here in California it pretty much does not exist. The difference between Republican and Democrat is shrinking every year leaving most voters to choose the lesser of two evils rather than being able to truly stand behind a candidate that stands to really defend and preserve the constitution and freedoms the founding fathers and many others fought for and secured for Americans.
Where are we now Written by Raymond 4/20/2006
Citizen Written by Raymond 3/9/2007
I feel as an American citizen who benefits if freedom at the expense of the blood of Americans I do not know, Up until the point of deployment, you can protest the deployment, or war all you want However, once our soldiers are in harms way and the shooting starts, it is my DUTY, as an American, to actively support our soldiers right on up the chain of command. Also not just wave a flag and put stickers on my car. I will make a sacrifice, and send snacks, magazines, and donate to any organization that supplies things to the troops, or their families. I will do this until they are safe and the peace is won. If I could, I would be with them in the field, even if its a simple job of filling water canteens. They die for my way of life, at the very least I owe them this.
A little spot on Earth written by Raymond 3/9/2007
Our soldiers are gentle giants, I don't look at them and just see a tough mean killing machine. No that is not what I see, I see a person giving a piece, or sometimes all the life they have, because they feel they can make a difference. Our warriors today, join by choice. They are out there, one man cant win a war, but just maybe, that one soldier can bring a little peace to a place that has never seen it. Maybe he is there to give that wide eyed child his first taste of chocolate. Maybe he is there to give a tired thirsty homeless man a clean drink of water. Maybe he has to take out a target. One thing for sure, our soldiers can bring a lot of hurt to the enemy. But just maybe he will bring peace to one lost person. This war is not popular here at home, because the people that they are trying to win peace for is people that never tasted real freedom. It is that selfless warrior, who might just hate being there, and does not agree why he was sent there, but will go back again and again, willingly, just so maybe he can bring peace to a small two foot by two foot peace of earth.
Planned Parenthood? Written By Raymond 6/13/2007
Abortion, plain and simple is a total disrespect for human life, people who run rampant with immoral behavior to satisfy their own pleasures, and avoid responsibility by killing off human life at will, such procedures are partially funded by local, state, and federal taxes. Some just have no regard and have children out of wedlock, such children are brought up without a secure family structure creates single parent households that draw upon tax payer dollars. Planned Parenthood is not even a proper name for these clinics. Sure some people have hardships and have to draw public assistance, but those who have a total lack of self control creates situations where the parent works and the children are left at home unsupervised. These children get into trouble more often than households that have a secure family structure and a good sense of discipline. If you can't respect the life of a child, weather developing inside the womb, or outside makes no difference. Then how can you truly respect others. Remember, there are some exceptions to this, not all single parents are in that situation by choice.
Independence or Invasion? written by Raymond 6/17/2007
Remember during this Independence day week, we are a country that is being invaded. Our politicians play kick the can and do not enforce our borders. This is an outright violation and a failure to defend our Constitution if any type of laws are passed to allow these criminals power to vote or get a fast track through amnesty to become a citizen. Over the history of our country millions have paid with blood, weather it is doing their duty as public servants, such as firemen or policemen, to being a combat soldier defending our way of life. Hammer on the idiots that are weak on protecting our borders, millions have INVADED America, and they fail to protect us. It is not a harmless invasion, thousands of illegal's have killed and sell drugs in our country. They drive cars illegally, sure some obey and contribute, but why don't they get proper documentation. No matter how good they are, they are still breaking the law. They are, at the very least, trespassing, which is still a crime. Becoming an American Citizen is earned, it is not a free prize just because you pass a line.
Our enemy's greatest allies. Written by Raymond 9/10/2007
Anti American Liberals are the strongest weapon Al Qaeda has, and time. Enemy forces can string the war out until politicians favorable to their war plan against the United States take key positions of power in America. George Bush's biggest mistake was failing to ask congress for a formal declaration of war. OK yes you can argue that no specific country stood as a clear entity to defeat, bringing the end of Bin Laden and his army of murderers. However, a declaration of war could have been made on all Islamic terrorist groups that had any alliance, or proclaimed loyalty to Al Qaeda. I believe if a formal declaration of was in place, it would have set a clear goal and urge our politicians from stopping our military from anything less than a clear victory. I wish and pray this war would end. If our politicians continue to play games with our soldier's lives it will discourage new recruits and re enlistments. It will also encourage any group that hates America to strike with anything they have. When our soldiers withdrawal from Iraq, it should be in a way that is a victory, and clear that there is no reason to return to Iraq in a dozen years from now. The war in Iraq, is a component of the war on Terror. It is better to fight this war on foreign soil, rather than having the attacks return to our soil.

New 'Toys' written by Raymond 10/10/2007
Our Boomers (SSBN) have been on silent patrol never firing their weapons in anger, this will soon change, a new load of missiles are now in play, extended range, accurate, and what they hit, they destroy. But the bang is smaller, and non-nuclear. Some Boomers will have some of their nuclear missile load outs removed and these new Trident launched Non nuclear variant missiles will be ready for action. No where to run, no where to hide. However this missile system can pose a threat, if foreign detection systems miss identify such a missile as a nuclear launch detection could lead to a possible Nuclear response? It is more likely that a similar system designed to be launched from a B-52 would be used and the Trident variant would be used only if the need to destroy a target quickly in a crisis situation, firing a missile gives away your location. These new missile load outs has the capability to hit its target from over 1000 miles away. Such a scenario for the Trident variant would be if a Chem/Bio/Nuke missile from a third world nation in the Pacific was being fueled and readied for launch. Any system that can allow a quick accurate strike from long distance will save lives by dealing with the threat. There are systems being tested that will allow America to strike any target without putting any of it's personal at risk. If such systems do come on line, it brings greater responsibility to our Political leaders, for it would make it easy to pull the trigger when American lives are not at risk. However surgical strikes are better than an all out war. Still if we could develop a bullet that can hit any target in the world it will mean nothing if the right intelligence is not presented to our leaders accurately. Tripple threat from Trident class (Ohio class boats) Conventional High Explosive, Tacticle Nukes, and City Busting Strategic SLBM with MIRV packages. Also, another capability, ABMs Not the old Nuclear tipped ABMs but more along the capability of the SM-3. SLABMs (Sub Launched Anti Ballistic Missle)
Boiling in Oil, Why Oil prices continue to rise. written by Raymond 4/4/2008
It's simple, the demand of oil is on the rise, china has become a superpower, India is now operating aircraft carriers that launch both the MIG 29 and the Harrier Jump jet. Add to that, OPEC slowing production just so prices can be raised, if liberals would open up potential oil fields in and around the United States, OPEC would have to pump more at a lower price, or face losing sales to American oil fields. It is basic supply and demand. Liberals just don't get that, they despise it.
Political Twister Written by Raymond 4/17/2008
Do you know what your getting out of your candidate. It's time to take a quick look at Barack Obama. The others we will look at later, Obama is on top, so he is first in line. Why are people supporting him. Are they locked in, mind made up. So they are voting for Barack Obama no matter what, it seems. Right now this ride is Obama's ride. So sit back and hang on, think about it, Is anyone really committed to support Obama, have they really looked at his Senatorial voting record in depth, has anyone supporting Barack checked it at all. It seems some are that committed. Even if he grew horns and reddish black leathery wings.
Do they know what he stands for, have they examined Barack's senatorial votes he has made, or not shown up for. Obama has a silver tongue, he has relied on it. Hoping nobody checks him on what he says. Could you sit and listen to a "man of the cloth" bash America, over and over. Could you sit and listen to racial and class hate speech, then, let that same hater preside over your wedding ceremony. Would you allow your children to hear such hate speech, would you call that man your friend. Barack did, he sat year after year, giving Reverend Wright his attention, so much so that Barack gave tens of thousands of dollars to Wright. A quick look, Reverend Wright now is living in an expensive home, in an expensive neighborhood, all on the money that he received from the church. Since Obama gave that church so much money, Barack is partially supporting Reverend Wright. Even Barack himself, using his own words, express some hate to America and white people, so it seems. A suggestion review his books.
You can take many of Barack's words, just take out the word white, and replace it with the word Black in Obama's own words. If President George Bush, Hillary Clinton, or John McCain were to say such things, but using the word Black in place of white. They would be figuratively keel-hulled, tarred and feathered. Barack Obama has been getting a soft ride from the media, look at the reaction to the questions at the debate a few days ago. Those questions were mild, but because they were directed at Obama, many think there was some agenda to corner Obama. If those same questions were tossed at McCain, or Hillary, I bet those same people complaining Obama was "picked on" would say the questions are not tough enough, that is if they were put to the other candidates.
Now, Obama's wife, from her own words, apparently was not proud of her country, not until recently. If Laura Bush, Cindy McCain, or even Fmr President Bill Clinton indicated they were not proud of their country, I think the media would bear down on them like a battleship getting ready to lay down support fire for a combat beach landing. Let's take a look at some of his Barack Obama's words, and some of his, as some say, lies. He claims he came to be an American because of an airlift paid for by John F. Kennedy brought his father to America. Let us look at Barack Obama's own words. Obama: "So the Kennedy's decided, 'We're going to do an air lift. We're going to go to Africa and start bringing young Africans over to this country and give them scholarships to study so they can learn what a wonderful country America is,'" Obama continued. "This young man named Barack Obama got one of those tickets and came over to this country. He met this woman whose great great-great-great-grandfather had owned slaves; but she had a good idea there was some craziness going on because they looked at each other and they decided that we know that the world as it has been it might not be possible for us to get together and have a child." OK, so what do we have, Barack's father made it to America because of John F Kennedy, right, well no, Barack's statement is wrong, more than that, it probably is an intentional lie. Barack Obama's father arrived in America in 1959. So, how can Mr Obama have been flown to America on a flight paid for by Kennedy, when the flight Kennedy paid for was in 1960, A year after Barack Obama 's father arrived in America. What are possibly Barack's intentions here, I think it is simple, it is an act of deception, it is an attempt by Obama to fool the masses into thinking there is a link of Barack's triumphs all the way back to John F Kennedy, it is a way for Obama to establish a link to greatness, an attempt similar to something Dan Quayle tried, I saw this on a history channel show about political debates in running for office.
OK take a look at his actions, Obama is just playing the same old political game. Yet he talks of change. So, what kind of change, this is what kind, Let's use his own words so you better buckle up, keep your hands inside the car at all times, welcome on board the political twister in Obama's own words here we go: Barack Obama wants change, what kind of change does Senator Obama want, let's look at this. From Audacity of Hope: "I will stand with them should the political winds shift in an ugly direction" So could this be he will side with Non Americans as this war on terror continues to unfold. Can you afford to gamble on this man.
Let's see what is next, let us look at this action, Source is Barack's tax returns. Yes look there. $26,270 went to the church Jeremiah Wright was pastor of. That is right, Barack is supporting hate speech with tens of thousands of dollars. This Church condones Jeremiah Wright's word. Obama's church since the 80s, Trinity United Church of Christ, Chicago, Rewarded Jeremiah Wright, a multimillion dollar home as part of his retirement. Now I am a catholic, and to the best of my knowledge, when the priest at my local parish did not get a home worth 1.6 million dollars. Jeremiah probably would not have retired if it was not for the controversy of his relationship with Barack Obama. Could this home be part of a "hush fund" to motivate Jeremiah Wright to be quiet. Now it would not be a stretch to say Barack Obama is not buying Jeremiah Wrights silence by buying this home, it is very easy for Barack Obama to pay for a portion, or all of the cost of this home by simply keeping to supply this church with tens of thousands every year via the cash offering collection basket. Jeremiah Wright was top dog at this church from 1972 to 2008. Barack Obama also had the reverend Jeremiah Wright baptize his children. Would you allow a reverend who believes the United States of America created the AIDS pandemic to wipe out the Black population. I would not, I would have walked out and never go back to such a church that supported such drivel. It is nothing more than pure hate speech. Hate speech can lead to violence, even bring some to riot. $26,270 is just one year in the many years Barack Obama has been a member of this church. Jeremiah must have said a lot of things that Barack Obama believed in. $26,270 is a lot of money to hand over. Jeremiah Wright preached against materialism, now Rev Wright has a 1.6 million dollar home. If that is not a sign of Hypocrisy. Well draw your own conclusion. I will not even go into what Rev Wright's opinion of America is, I think that has been made clear. Under Rev Wright, putting America first is not on the agenda of things members of this church is to do, or believe.
Will Barack Obama really keep America first. Will he have every American's best interests at heart, can you trust him. Will he side OK now let us take a look at this, it is from Barack Obama. From Dreams of My Father: "I found a solace in nursing a pervasive sense of grievance and animosity against my mother’s race. I'll let you draw your own conclusions about what he meant by that. However, it really should not be taken as a stand alone comment by Obama. What are my conclusions, well I think it is simple, if one is going to support, and vote for a particular person, I think you should look into the whole picture, and not base it on things like, "hey that dud is cool", or "he's got Charisma." The stupidest, lamest reason to vote for a person is to base your vote on wether the candidate has the same skin color you have, or have not, whichever the case may be. Educate yourself, usually if a candidate looks to good to be true, than they probably are. Look up their voting record, it is a matter of public record. Here are a couple of sites that post voting history. http://www.votesmart.org and http://www.govtrack.us ask yourself, what vote would you have made. When you make a choice, make an educated one. How many years has Barack Obama served as a Governor, or served in the Federal government before he decided to run for President. Do you think it was enough to qualify him to be president. His call to cut funding, and slow the progression of new combat systems is very dangerous and puts millions of American lives and even America's existence as a sovereign nation at stake. His refusal to "weaponize" space when other countries have can have grave implications.
Oil Futures written by Raymond 4/20/2008
Low gasoline reserves and pressure on refiners to increase production of reformulated gasoline have helped to drive prices up..
Environmental regulations of the type of reformulated gasoline vary from state to state.
Building new refineries to refine so many different formulas is very expensive and environmental rules make even building a new refinery next to impossible.
Competition with China is another factor that is driving oil prices up.
Saudi Arabia either can't meet the demand, or is not willing to, possibly because their supply of light crude is running low.
George Bush and the democrats refusal to come up with an energy plan that includes domestic oil exploration is another major factor. Why do I single out democrats, well they control the house and senate, that is why.
Trouble from South American and Russian oil producers will add to the continuing price spikes. If the price of diesel fuel continues to rise, this will push inflation. Look for crude oil prices to exceed 130 dollars per barrel sometime this year. If demand for gasoline remains high as we enter summer, the price will continue to rise. If the government does cut the tax on fuel, don't expect the oil companies to lower the price, but expect them to raise the price in a manner that only reflects a fraction of the price of gasoline. Our economy still runs on oil, until domestic energy supply increases, prices will continue to climb across the board.

Capitalism works well when Government stays out of the way, but the federal government of America is filled with too many ungoverned politicians that just want to keep growing the government, this country needs to get back to basics and dump the pork barrel socialism it keeps trying to shove by the Constitution. Communism was a total failure, that is why China is letting Capitalism in, with China slowly moving to the right and America moving to the left, soon you will see two identical superpowers that are separated by a big ocean, so they will either move out into space and start with mining the moon for Helium 3 with contracts sold to the corporate bidders, or it will end into a large clash with some big Naval battles. Ah, but don't count out Russia and India getting into the picture too, India had added Blue water Aircraft carriers to their fleet equipped with MiG 29s and AV8 Harriers. The United Kingdom is adding supercarriers to its fleet, and France and the rest of Europe will be demanding their share to. The SM-3 deployed on Japan and America's aegis cruisers will be the only thing keeping us safe, hang on its going to get bumpy, suddenly the 2012 end of the world as we know it does not seem so far out in conspiracy-ville.
Millions of lives snuffed out. Innocent life. Life begins at conception, unique DNA forms, a child takes shape. This life should be allowed to have the chance to become an infant, then on through childhood, then become an adult. But sadly too many have their chance to become a child ripped from them. All too many times it is out of selfishness, sometimes a career is more important than a child. On demand abortion, that is what the liberals want, even further, they want to pay for it with taxes. Abortion is wrong, and is a crime against humanity. Barack Obama supports this, and calls it a "right"
The Democrats say they are the party of choice, yet weeks ago a democrat, who was a delegate, stated their intention in November that their personal vote in the general election would be for
Life is Precious, it must be defended.
McCain, because of this, they were stripped of their delegate vote. So much for being the so called party of choice. The DNC. Interesting that the medical procedure for abortion is also called DNC. Yea, I hear some of you mumbling on, why don't I bash the Republicans, well i have, they have shifted to the left, and on top of that, President Bush has ran up the largest debt in history. So, will the next president just go on with the Status Quo, we will see, we will look come, will the budget hole continue to grow, I think there is only two choices, and that is the choice of how fast it will grow, and how fast will our economy shrink. Taxing a poor economy will make it worse, this is what Barack Obama will do, then you have McCain, he will send billions down to the UN, the bottomless pit when it comes to money, McCain will try to plug the ozone
hole with money. America, anyway you cut it, W.A.S.S.. We Are So Screwed.
Let the cry babies start crying, wa your being so negative wa. That is how you bring about change, with a words. Look at Barack Obama, they are bringing on nothing but the hate when it comes to George Bush. Understand this, Bush is a failure, and a lot of the blame falls on him, he failed, but he was not alone, Nancy Pelosi, she promised change, the democrats controlled the house and senate, they have not changed anything. Pelosi promised relief on high gas prices when gas passed 2 dollars a gallon, where is the democrat's energy plan. George Bush's approval rating is at an all time low, and congress, their approval rating is even lower. This is way Barack Obama will win, people are willing to gamble on a rookie, a man who barely has any time as a U.S. Senator. What does that tell you, think, it tells you that America is saying, hey, career politicians have had their shot, over and over, and since the 1990s America has been ran by people who have had only one job, being a politician. Well so why not try a man who has no experience at running anything, how much worse can Barack Obama be?
Well, since America is at war, Barack Obama wants to go back to the policy of dealing with terrorists the way Bill Clinton did, call the police. Look, bombing the twin towers in 1993 was an act of war, Clinton let the justice department handle it, what did that get us, a handful of other terrorist bombings on U.S. assets, which culminated in the 9/11/01 attacks. This is not the time to hand over America's military over to a rookie, if we were not at war, and the threat abroad to our assets and allies were a minimum, Maybe I would take a chance on Barack Obama, but no way do i want somebody who has no clue, or experience with a military command, remember, the President's job is to command our military. It is not the time to put a non military rookie in the shoes of POTUS. So a man who refuses to defend life in it's most fragile state, this person does not have the character to fulfill the demands of POTUS.

Fast development of new fuels/technology, It costs too much money, auto makers are hurting now, loss of profits is a loss of R and D money. Government subsidizing it, that is a joke, less government, but people are calling for government regulation, what will happen, the government will regulate YOUR fuel use and the miles you drive, that is next, a tax on leisure drivers. It will turn up in congress sooner or later.
America has more untapped oil than what we get from Saudi Arabia.
Bakken, no doubt it will be months before you hear that in the news, and probably only on a local AM radio news/commentary show. Not on ABC news. I doubt Bill O'Reilly will catch it. He just wants sugar fuels from South America, that's a laugh, trading one group of tyrants, for another. How will that solve it, hello Bill, South America is still foreign energy source.
Looking to government for an answer on high oil prices are ya? written by Raymond, 2/20/08
