WE must protect our patriotic telecom companies via FISA... we must. These companies chose to support national security and for that they are to be thanked. They chose to volunteer their services at no cost to our government, forgetting profit margins, and instead serving their country. God Bless the telecoms...

I think I’m on to something here… first of all, the oil industry is of course realizing record profits on the plight of the American people… They say oil is going up because of worldwide demand… yet while there’s a push to drill in Anwar and off the coasts of Texas, California and Florida, there’s no push to ensure the oil drilled there goes directly to the American market… instead it will, as usual, be ported to the world market… It’s true that the oil will add supply to the market, it will make only a slight ripple in the overall cost… however, if it were to be piped directly into our own supply, it could really “flood” the market with supply… This would of course not be favorable to our oil industry, as supply would indeed overtake demand, therefore lowering the cost, and their profit.

I've noticed for a while now how much the Dems views are agreeable to me... I used to be a Republican.

Well, I’ve got to say… I’m blown away by George and John’s hypocrisy. (Bush and McCain). Each is hitting Obama hard right now regarding his desire to “talk” to our enemies… because of course as George and McCain have recently said, that sort of recklessness is what led to Hitler and the slaughter of the Jews… Of course it was John McCain who once proclaimed that the Bush administration was flawed in not talking to Hamas and others...

With the falling value of a dollar, does it make a lot of sence to add to our already bloated deficit?

You know, the dollar is falling... for most I think it's hard to notice... it's like your hair, you hardly know it's getting long by a daily look in the mirror, but for a person who hasn't seen you in a while, it's quite apparent. Part of the problem is that we as citizens have a myoptic view of things financially... I mean, sure the stock market is somewhat visible to most of us, but what about trade?

First of all, before delving into the following I want to state the rules of the White House communications game. They're simple really.... if you're sending emails and you're white house staff, you must send them through the white house email server. This law was put in place to accommodate the freedom of information act.

Do you support our troops?
That's a question that I hear every day on the right wing media. At first blush, my answer (as I'm sure yours) is of course I do! I love America! USA! USA! USA! I have friends who are troops... and went to the same high school as Pat Tillman (though I graduated some years earlier I did see him play football at Leland, and met his folks in the bleachers).
I do support our troops! But, if you listen carefully to the right wing media (ie Rush, Hannity, etc.) you'll find they're asking the question in a different context.
Supporting the troops in my opinion is the following:
Making sure they're adequately armed and protected before going to war (especially in elective wars)
Ensuring they are properly trained for each mission, and properly rested after each tour of duty
Providing the absolute best medical care and lifelong financial support for those troops who are injured (enough money to live a good life as an American hero should!)
Providing outstanding death benefits to fallen soldiers families so that they can live happy lives
Reporting the happenstance of soldiers deaths accurately and with dignity and NOT lie to increase moral or polls
Caring so much for our soldiers as to only send them on missions that DEFEND the USA from proven aggressors
Promoting each surviving family of fallen soldiers as heros in the media, even when they don't agree with current policy
Holding those who's lies cause deaths to our soldiers accountable, so that their deaths truly aren't in vein
Those are just a few examples of supporting our troops as I see it.
Ok, I know... I've heard quite a few questions wondering if I'd quit writing, or just given up. Have no fear readers, I'm still here... there was some confusion of whether Bloghi was closing shop... I thought they were and tried a few other sites, got unmotivated and stopped... now low and behold, I can again post!

Wasn't there a time when we the people judged items, people, legislation, wars, economies, social and welfare programs, etc by their merits, and not by politics? Now days, everything around us is labeled as liberal or conservative. A state Supreme Court judge looking for support is labeled either liberal or conservative. The economy, with Halliburton, Exxon, etc doing well and the lower & middle class floundering is considered conservative. The war against

I wonder how many conservative folks have stopped to thank Al Qaida? Without sounding too much like a conspiracy nut, have you ever just sat down and viewed the timing of Al Qaeda's moves?

Why is it that every time an unfavorable event involves a well known media star, or fat cat political sympathizer of say conservative cloth, the immediate right wing radio response is one of defense, pity and support, while all other similar crimes committed by less stellar fellows (say unknown middle or lower class folks) are treated with an iron fist... 3 strikes and YOU'RE OUT!
