Practice what you preach

We visited with a young family recently that are very big Al Gore fans. They argued that we all need to limit the size of vehicles, homes, etc. to help the planet go green. And, that the oil industry is a major pollutant of the planet. All the while we were debating these issues they had two vehicles sitting out front of a very nice home, a mini-van and a 4-door full sized pickup truck, which happened to be furnished by his oil field company which pays him big bucks!

I fully agree that we all need to become good stewards of this planet but swallowing Al Gore's hoax hook, line, and sinker is completely ludicrous. Especially since Al Gore owns something like 4 homes that suck down large amounts of power and natural gas. It's reported that his main home consumes more power in one month than an average home does in a year. And his pool uses $500 worth of natural gas a month!

Come on people. If you preach and truly believe, shouldn't you practice it as well?

Are you scared yet?

Come on, even if you voted for Obama, you must admit that you must be getting a little bit scared about the direction he is taking this country!

The first sign of a true dictator is to tell people what's really good for them because we probably aren't as smart as he is and he knows better. Green is good for us. Taking over private business is good for us. Cap and trade is good for us. Taking control of health care is good for us. Telling us what size car is good for us. Telling farmers what to plant is good for us. Telling us that we need to pay for abortions and birth control in other countries is good for us. Telling us to stay away from Vegas and not fly in private jets is good for us. Unions are good for us. Telling profitable businesses that they must close their doors is good for us. The list goes on and on and is getting longer every day!

Well, we can vote him out in four years, right? The day of free and fair elections is gone here in the good ole USA. The dems are making sure that illegals will have the "right" to vote and ACORN will continue in their arrogant ways. "Obama is good for us. We love Obama. Obama is good for us." Remember that clip?

We all need to pay more taxes on just about everything he can think of: cows emitting gas, cell phones provided by our employer, driving too many miles in our car, this list too, goes on and on. What are these taxes going for? Well, for Queen Pelosi to jet back and forth. For a Pres that can't stay in DC for more than 24 hours. For a "date night". For Barney Frank to hand out favors to his gay little friends.

Do I sound angry? You damn right. And are we going to do anything about this guy? This guy that says we are too arrogant, that we wave our little tea bags, and that we need to be more like Europe? Let's take our country back people!
