A short letter to Congress- Obamacare
Dear Congress,
Please withdraw your support for Obamacare. It is wrong for America and the majority of Americans know it and we have made our voices heard. Unfortunately, our cries to stop this nonsense has fallen on deaf ears.
Please allow me try to articulate in a few words why Obamacare is being rejected by the majority of Americans:
1. It is too costly- 6 years of benefits for 10 years of revenue. After that it adds yearly to the deficit.
2. It is an unconstitutional (in my opinion)power grab by the government. It puts another 16% of the economy and 100% of Americans under the healthcare control of a goverment that is already bloated to a size incomprehensible to our Founding Fathers.
3. Nobody really knows everything that is in this monstrosity of a Bill. We do know that it contains hundreds of add-ons that would never be able to pass on their own, but you already know that.
What is needed is a "start over" or to just quit until cooler, more reasonable heads prevail in Washington. I'm hopeful that this process will begin in November 2010.
Sincerely,
Preston Osborne

An Open Letter to President Obama, Senators Feinstein, Boxer, Speaker Pelosi, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid
Dear President Obama, Senators Feinstein, Boxer, Speaker Pelosi, and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid,
I was hoping that the recent Senatorial special election in Massachusetts to fill "Senator Kennedy's seat" would serve as a wake up call to our President and to all members of Congress. Unfortunately, it seems like you are more interested in your constituents agreeing with you, than listening to your constituents.
President Obama and most Democrats in Washington have been "dismissive, even derisive" of the Tea Party movement, FOX News, and the voters. I think it's time to confess to the voters that what you've been doing is wrong. It's time to start listening to what the folks that put you in Washington are saying.
Here are some suggestions;
1. Leave medical insurance issues up to the States with the exception of Medicare. Leave Medicare where it is and do something about the massive waste, fraud, and abuse that President Obama says exists within the Medicare. You don't need to pass any legislation to do your job!
2. Focus on the economy and stop bankrupting our grandchildren even before they're born! Reduce spending, and cut taxes and let the free market system work.
3. Reduce the size of the Federal Government! The role of the Federal Government should be limited to National Security, Foreign relations, regulation of Wall Street, FDA, and Social Security. Deed back to the States most of the remaining services.
4. Stop drinking the Kool-Aid being served up by the climate change alarmists! Let States deal with local pollution issues. Allow the free market to dictate the sources and types of energy used in America keeping in mind that because of National Security issues we need to become energy dependent. Free market and National Security aren't mutually exclusive issues.
5. Stop prosecuting Islamic terrorists in civilian courts! Allow the CIA and the Military to interrogate and prosecute according to Military law!
In my opinion, Federal Government spending is the problem, not the solution. In other words, President Obama and the Democratic Congress need to do a 180 turn and forget about trying to make us look like France. We need to get America back to looking like America.
Sincerely,
Preston Osborne

Open Letter to Rush Limbaugh- Exposing the Global warming and evolution myths
Rush,
I was listening to you again this morning. Thanks for finally exposing the "man caused global warming" myth! It's about time that these psuedo-scientists turned politicians were exposed for what they are... Greedy, money grabbing tools used by the far left to ultimately achieve a New World Order.
What you may not be aware of is the fact that the same "science" that has produced the "man caused global warming" myth has also produced the "flat earth theory", the "spontaneous generation" theory, the "blood-letting" theory, and over the last 150 years the "Darwinian theory of evolution".
Before you write me off as some sort of a nut let me hasten to say that no scientist worth his salt will pretend that macro-evolution or creationism can be proven in the science lab. True science demands that there not only be evidence but that the theory be testable, verifiable, and repeatable in order to be considered scientific fact. However, theories can be disproven by ruling out assumptions that are made in producing a straw-man theory.
For example, the theory of Darwinian evolution has always been based of the assumption that the building blocks of life are "simple" and that given enough "time" something called "natural selection" will eventually cause an organism to "evolve" into a more complex organism.
In recent years, and of course you won't read this in the New York Times, super microscopes have been created that are able to look inside the "cell" and much to their amazement they have found out that cells are not "simple" at all. Our bodies are made up of trillions of cells and each cell contains a trillion "machines". A cell that is not fully formed is dysfunctional and useless. The mathemetical chance of a cell creating itself by chance is something on the order of 10E5800... Anything on the order of 10E50 has a zero chance of occuring.
Someday, perhaps sooner than we think, someone like yourself will break the story of how the secular elite scientific community has hidden the facts regarding the evolution myth. And the world will finally know how the work of scientists that hold to a creationist view have been kicked out the the "science club" and have not been allowed to have their work published in the elite scientific journals.
Keep up the good work, Rush. If you are interested in pursuing a story regarding the true science involved in the evolution vs creation debate I'll be glad to be of any service that I can.
Rush, I wouldn't care so much about this story except that I think Darwinism has had a serious impact on world events including the rise of eugenics at the hand of dictators like Hitler, and organizations like Planned (un)Parenthood. It has also led to same sex "marriage" and organizations like NAMBLA. It has even affected how we interpret the Constitution and how the Courts rule on cases like Roe v Wade.

Open Letter to Congressman Jerry Lewis
Dear Congressman Lewis,
I share your deep concerns about the health care bill which is scheduled to be voted on next week. My question is, why haven't you and other like-minded representatives formed a caucus opposing this bill and why aren't you having press releases that are informing the American people what is happening in Washington?
The only news organization that I see that is taking any interest in the true story about the health care bill is FOX News.
I've been watching the process and educating myself and others on what is in this bill and it is my opinion that this is the worst bill to come down the pike in the 50 years that I've been following politics.
I'm convinced that this is more about "fundamentally changing America" (as our President has promised) and less about health care. This is change we don't need, and change we don't want!
But, if I'm wrong, then the health care bill should trashed on its own lack of merit. Here are my personal objections to the bill itself:
1. It provides for taxpayer funded abortions.
2. It is unconstitutional because it forces Americans to buy or pay a fine for services that they don't need, want, or can't afford.
3. It will stifle economic growth because of the burdens that it will put on small businesses.
4. It will create another bureaucracy that America doesn't want and can't afford.
5. The cost is prohibitive and it will place a huge financial burden on our children and our grandchildren.
6. Medicare will be cut by 50 billion dollars a year and therefore will result in a huge tax on those that have already paid their fair share and can least afford to have their benefits cut.
7. The government already controls 30% of the GNP and this bill, along with Cap and Trade, will ultimately result in the government takeover of another 30%, which means that the government will control 60% of the GNP!! If this isn't socialism, then I guess I don't know the definition of "socialism".
President Obama won't level with the American people, Harry Reid won't level with the American people, and Speaker Pelosi definitely won't level with the American people...
Representative Lewis, will you and your like-minded colleagues level with the American people in a manner that is appropriate for the catastrophe that will be caused if this legislation is passed? When you do this there will be those that will whine that you're playing partisan politics, but don't worry about that, please just do the right thing.
Representative Lewis, I'm not just "following politics" anymore, I want to do something about what is happening to America. What can I do to help?
Sincerely,
Preston Osborne

Senator Boxer's Clean Energy Bill- A response
Dear Senator Boxer,
I agree, it is "time to get serious" and to stop with the destructive politics that is pervasive in Washington today!
With all due respect, you and Senator Kerry couldn't be more wrong about the need for a "climate change" Bill. I've done my own research on this issue and have come to the conclusion that anthropologically caused emissions of CO2 has a virtually zero effect on our climate.
I don't want to judge you and Senator Kerry unfairly, but, I think you both know that we have actually been in a global cooling phase which ironically began around the time that Al Gore published his book that proclaims that man is warming the planet by his irresponsible use of "fossil fuels". No doubt, this is why we're talking about "climate change" instead of "global warming". Pardon me, but just how stupid do you think your constituents are?
More importantly, your assertion that reducing the use of "fossil fuels" and the development of alternative energy sources will boost the economy is absolutely absurd. As a matter of fact, of all of the legislation being discussed in Washington Cap and Trade is by far the most potentially damaging to our economy. To use the words of President Obama, "With Cap and Trade the price of electricity will skyrocket." I don't always agree with the President, but he hit the nail on the head on this one.
Nobody is against "clean air" but everyone should be against "hot air", especially when it comes from Washington. What we need is an honest debate on how we can best achieve "clean air" and at the same time produce sufficient energy so that we are not depending on countries that don't like us very much. It has become a matter of national security for us to do it.
It can be done in a way that will not bankrupt America if we can stop with the rhetoric and get down to the serious business of honest debate.
I worked as a project engineer in the aerospace industry for many years and the message that I kept hearing from upper management is; "Don't criticize the plan unless you've got a better one." Well, I've got a "better plan". If you are interested in hearing it, I'd be glad to share it with you.

An Open Letter to Senator Barbara Boxer
Dear Senator Boxer,
I watched the rebroadcast of your appearance on CNN's State of the Union show last night. Thank you for informing me that you were going to be giving your views on this show.
I was disappointed again on your views on Afghanistan and the Health Care legislation issues. Even though you frequently dodged the questions I think you know exactly where you stand on these issues and that you know that your positions on these issues are partisan and will appeal only to the left wing of your party, and not to the majority of your constituents that you hope will vote for you next November.
I also think you will be particularly hard pressed to receive support from those of us that have become dependent on Medicare Advantage insurance. The projected cuts will make it very difficult for those on Medicare. I'll make a deal with you, though, cut the retirement and boondoggle benefits that Congress receives and I'll go along with it.
I also believe that small businesses will be forced to lay off employees, and that it is morally, and maybe constitutionally wrong to force people to buy medical insurance.
I also think you are terribly wrong on your position on "Climate Change" legislation. Cap and Trade is probably the worst thing that can be done at this time. Its impact on the economy would be devastating if the legislation under consideration is passed. We need to reduce our independence on foreign oil by exploring for and using ALL the domestic resources that we have at our disposal. Especially in the areas of oil, coal, and gas. And we need to expand the use of solar, wind, and geothermal generators of electricity as well.
Battery technology development is an area that can result in big dividends and the development of geo-thermal technology as a means of heating in the winter and cooling in the summer provides a very promising means of generating cheap heating and cooling. Please educate yourself on these technologies.
Please allow me to say a couple more things about Afghanistan. My son went to Iraq in 2007 as part of the surge and is back there this year for another tour. His job there is to train Iraqi National Police so that they will eventually be able to provide sufficient security for their country. He knows first hand the positive impact the surge has had on the war on terror in Iraq. I believe that Gen. Petraeus, Gen. McChrystal, and Adm. Mullen are the people to be looking to for guidance.
With all due respect, neither you, President Obama, Speaker Pelosi, or Vice President Biden are qualified to decide what should be done in Afghanistan, assuming that you still want to win over there.
However, if you want to lose, I'm sure that between the four of you that you could easily find a way to do just that. But, for the sake of the mission (that you voted for), our troops, and the security of Afghanistan and America please listen to our Commanders on the ground and don't use Afghanistan as a political football. America doesn't want another Vietnam.
Thanks for listening,

Why is the Bible valuable if it's not scientific or historical?
The first thing that needs to be pointed out is the fact that this question contains two false assumptions. 1. That the Bible is not historically correct. 2. That the Bible is not scientifically correct. These two premises are false. The Bible is both historically and scientifically correct. Contrary to popular belief, neither archaeology or any other kind science has been able to dispute the veracity of the Bible. Men may question the accuracy of the Bible but true science does not.
However, these two facts are not the most important reasons that the Bible is "valuable". The Bible is God's message to man. It explains where man came from, where he is, and the choice he needs to make.
In the Bible God reveals to man that He is the Creator and that He created man. The Bible also reveals the "sin problem" to man. Man is sinful by nature and by practice. The Bible also reveals God's love to man and how that "God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life." (John 3:16)
Your choice is, will you believe in Him or will you reject Him and suffer the consequences and miss out on God's best plan for your life?

A Review of Glenn Beck's "Common Sense"
Thomas Paine, the author of the original "Common Sense" stands head and shoulders above Glenn Beck. This is not to slight Beck, but rather to elevate Thomas Paine to his rightful place in America's history.
Thomas Paine was not only a patriot but he was also a theologian. He had the distinct advantage of being much more familiar with God and the Bible than Glenn Beck. Beck would do well to become more acquainted with the personal and religious beliefs of most of our founding fathers because only then will he fully appreciate the founding principles upon which America was built. Glenn Beck's version of "common sense" is still well worth the price of the book.
Beck's comments on the state of America demonstrate an astute understanding about where America has gone wrong starting with the Presidency of Teddy Roosevelt. His assertion that Democrats and Republicans have moved away from the principles that made America great is absolutely correct. Beck's opinion that America needs another "revolution" is right on. Whether or not it could be achieved non-violently, as Beck suggests is debatable. The two party monopoly that we have today will be very difficult to defeat.
Beck's comments that it isn't about Democrats and Republicans anymore are right on the mark. If America is to regain its former greatness it will require that Americans take back America from the government. We now have a government that believes that government is the answer, not the problem. The truth is, that government has gotten completely too big and that it is the problem. Capitalism is being replaced with socialism before our very eyes.
Keep up the good work, Glenn... You're on the right track. Let's pray it's not too late.

Big Three Automakers: Is Congress on the right track?
A week ago today I expressed my concern that Congress was considering bailing out of the "Big Three" automakers. http://truthbasedopinions.blogspot.com/2008/11/are-we-talking-about-bailing-out.html The Big Three were then invited to Washington D.C. for talks, apparently with no "preconditions".
The Big Three, GM's CEO Richard Wagoner, Chrysler's Robert Nardelli, and Ford's Allan Mullaly flew into Washington D.C., each in their own private corporate jet. The purpose of their visit was to ask Congress for a "loan" of billions of dollars to help bail them out of their present prediciment.
Then, surprise, surprise! Rep. Gary L. Ackerman (D-NY) actually started chiding the big three CEO for reckless spending. Ackerman said: “There’s a delicious irony in seeing private luxury jets flying into Washington, D.C., and people coming off of them with tin cups in their hands,” Ackerman said. “It’s almost like seeing a guy show up at the soup kitchen in high-hat and tuxedo… I mean, couldn't you all have downgraded to first class or jet-pooled or something to get here?”
Following the talks, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid announced in a news conference that they had given the “Big Three” – GM, Ford, and Chrysler a Dec. 2 deadline to provide Congress with information why they deserve a federal loan of $25 billion.
Once Congress received the proposed new business plan, Congress could vote by Dec. 8 to approve or disapprove the bailout.
We can only pray that Congress will do the right thing and vote to bail out the Big Three ONLY if the Big Three have come up with a new business model that will assure their success.
In my opinion, the Big Three are going to have to make some drastic changes to remain in business over the long term. At a minimum each of them will have to reduce the number of models that they build. They will also have to renegotiate their contracts with the labor unions.
The Big Three can learn much from the business models of the successful automobile makers in America.
Congress is on the right track if they will continue to demand accountability and reasonable assurances that the taxpayer money will be paid back. Congress owes the American people nothing less. And if Congress does vote to bail out the Big Three, Congress must provide the appropriate oversight to assure that the money is being used wisely and according to plan.
According to sources, GM seems to have gotten at least part of the message conveyed by Congress and have returned two of their corporate jets back to the leaser. It is also reported that they now turn off the escalators in the GM Corporate headquarters at 7:00 P.M., and that they have already implemented several other cost cutting measures. Now all they have to do is deal with the really difficult issues.

Bad Decisions Led to Financial Crisis
Are we talking about bailing out the automakers for making poor business decisions? For years the Detroit automakers have been giving in to Union demands and political pressures which has resulted in employees of the automakers industry getting unreasonable compensation packages.
The chickens have come home to roost. This was forseeable and avoidable and now the automakers want us to bail them out. Actually, what we would be doing is enabling more of the same bad business decisions that got them into this mess in the first place. Same thing with the financial institutions, which is another part of the untold rest of the story.. Automakers have become "financial institutions and have been just as guilty as the banks for making loans to subprime borrowers.
Capitalism made America the economic power that it became. Bailouts are anti- capitalism and are taking us closer to gross socialism. Because of the direction that we're headed we could become more socialist than Russia by the end of 2009.

California Fires: Are they avoidable?
Every year in California the headlines read: "Fire forces evacuation of thousands", "Millions of dollars worth of property lost in fire", "Two firemen die fighting fires", Scores injured in path of fire", Tragic loss of life due to fires".
The weight of responsibility for the extent of damage that these fires cause must be laid at the feet of organizations like the Sierra Club and the politicians that listen to them.
California needs a fire break system to avoid the devastation, injuries, loss of lives, and loss of properties. In the long run it would be much cheaper and it will provide revenue in the form of lumber.
Governor Arnold, please bring some sanity to California and get this done.

AZ, FL, and CA Have Spoken on Same Sex Marriage
Three more states have ammended their constitution to affirm that a "marriage" is between one man and one woman. Now the same sex marriage advocates are in a rage, do they have a right to be?
The "same sex marriage" advocate's argument could be used any number of people. Many a pedophile has said that they are "genetically predisposed" to wanting to have sex with children. Should we legalize pedophilia?
A case could be made that some people are more predisposed to act out violently. Should we legalize violence?
Others have claimed that they have no control over their desire to shoplift. Should we make shoplifting legal?
NAMBLA (North American Man Boy Love Association( has been trying for years to have sexual relations between men and boys legalized. Should we legalize man boy sexual relations?
It is absolutely amazing that it has had to come to the point where it was even necessary to have an ammendment to the California constitution to make same sex marriage illegal. For 150 years everyone in Arizona, California, and Florida already knew that marriage was between one man and one woman.
The GLBT community uses deceitful rhetoric in their desire to force everyone to accept deviant sexual behavior as normal. This is the hidden agenda behind the same sex marriage movement. They compare themselves with the "women's rights movement", or "racial equality movement". This is utter nonsense, and women and racial minorities should be deeply offended by those that are trying to force same sex marriage on society for claiming that they suffer the same plight.
Evidently society has been too tolerant concerning the activities of the GLBT community and now they want to take over the country and force everyone to accept homosexual marriage "whether they like it or not", as the Mayor of San Francisco put it. In my opinion the militant members of the GLBT community should be further ashamed of themselves for the dishonest promotion of their "sexuality".

Treatment of Bush: A Blight on America
Now that America has a new President Elect, I was wondering when we might start hearing about the disgraceful treatment of Bush. I voted for G.W., twice, even though I didn't agree with him when we went to war with Iraq. I figured that he and Congress must have known something that I didn't and that there was possibly a good reason that I wasn't aware of.
When the war started having its problems and no WMDs were found it didn't take long before the same people that voted for the war started throwing G.W. under the bus. The mainstream news media followed suit and it wasn't long before G.W. had the majority of America "hating" him. This treatment of a President in a time of war would have been considered treason 60 years ago. I find it troubling that some politicians, including Obama, Pelosi, Dodd, and Reid are wearing the badge of treason like it was a badge of honor.
I firmly believe that the Bush hating liberals and media bear a lot of the responsibility for why the Iraqi war has been so difficult to prosecute, and why our enemies have had reason to believe that they might be able to defeat us.
I think that all of this says much more about the corrupt politicians and media than it does G.W. Even John McCain, who I admire immensely, threw G.W. under the proberbial bus thinking that it would mean more votes. Personally, I think that this strategy played out against McCain.
Much to G.W.'s credit he has remained Presidential through it all. A lesser man couldn't have withstood the constant barage of hateful rhetoric against him from the politicians and the media.
As for the current economic crisis, G.W. has once again demonstrated that he believes in "the buck stops here" principle. Even though, our economic problems happened on the watch of a strongly Democratic Congress, which of course the media continues to fail to report this little bit of factual information.
G.W. has not been a perfect President but he does deserve our gratitude for his steadfastness under very trying circumstances and exacerbated by a corrupt press and even more corrupt politicians.
On behalf of many Americans, we thank you Mr. President for your selfless service to your country. God bless you and your family.

The Problem With Obama
Our Founding Fathers believed strongly in the free exercise of religion (Judeo/Christian) and limited Government. If Obama is elected we will have neither.
The "mainstream" media has been giving Obama a free pass on all of his big government ideas because they sincerely believe that anything is better than what we've had the last 8 years. Unfortunately, the mainstream media has made their decision based on emotions rather than sound reasoning.
Proof of the mainstream media's love affair with Obama is the fact that they are ignoring the character of Obama. They are not only giving Obama a pass on his big government ideas, but they are also giving Obama a pass regarding Obama's poor judgement in his selection of "friends". And they're giving Obama a pass on his relationships and lying about those relationships.
Jeremiah Wright: Obama's spiritual adviser for 20 years. This is not speculation, this is by Obama's own admission.
William Ayers: Obama's confidant, political ally, neighbor, a stauch supporter. Obama has lied repeatedly about his relationship with Ayers and the mainstream media has given him a free pass.
Tony Rizko: Close associate of Obama that worked a deal where Obama could buy property at a huge "discount". Rizko is now a convicted felon. The mainstream media has not held Obama accountable for this relationship either.
ACORN: Obama's campaign has paid ACORN $800,000 to help "get out the vote". Obama was a lawyer for ACORN, Obama also worked as a "trainer" for ACORN workers. Numererous arrests have been made in swing states where ACORN workers have committed thousands of voter registration fraud crimes. Again, the mainstream media has turned a blind eye.
If Obama wins it will be solely because the liberal media is pulling for Obama and because they kept the secret of who Obama really is from the American people.The good news is, if Obama is elected, the next four years will be so bad that in 2012 the Democrats will lose the House, Senate, and the White House and some sanity will return to Washington D.C.
In the meantime get used to eating a lot of beans and rice because if Obama wins the economy is going to shrink to levels not seen in over 50 years. The tax and spend policies of the Democrats are a sure way to kill whatever economy we might have at the end of 2008.
Add to all of this Obama's pro-abortion, pro-infanticide, pro-GLBT positions and you have one ugly candidate. In connection with this... The worst news is, that even though Obama would be out of there in 4 years, and we would have a Republican majority in the Congress... Much irreversible damage will have been done by any U.S. Supreme Court and Federal Judges that Obama appoints. This is my greatest concern of all.
The poor condition of the economy is reversible, poor foreign relations policies are reversible, even damaged national security is reversible, but, Judges are appointed for life and this would have a negative affect on the America that our children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and great-great-granchildren will live in.
God help America!

One more reason to vote YES on Prop. 8
Open letter to Superintendent Dr. Vigil and Board of Directors of Hayward Unified School District in Hayward CA.
Dr. Vigil and HUSD Board of Trustees,
I was appalled when I learned that Hayward's 5 year olds are being indoctrinated into being "allies" of the GLBT lifestyle. And, also, that this was being done without the knowledge or consent of the parents. http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.printable&pageId=78829
In my opinion this is outrageous behavior on the part of Dr. Vigil, the Board of Trustees, and the teachers involved in this breach of trust. If anything ever described "dereliction of duty", this is it.
When Prop. 8 passes I hope that you all will finally get the message that most Californians don't share your "enthusiasm" for supporting the agenda of GLBT, which is to force acceptance of an unhealthy, anti-family lifestyle, and to denegrate the meaning of marriage.
Thanks for Listening,

Is The Upcoming Election the Most Critical in History?
I just received the following letter from Donald Wildmon of AFA. I agree with Donald that this upcoming election is the most important election our nation has ever faced. If Obama is elected we can anticipate dire consequences relative to the erosion of morality in America. It is very likely that with Obama in Office that within four years we will have a Supreme Court that will vote in favor of the agendas of the ACLU and GLBT, and even perhaps NAMBLA. We most likely would see same sex marriage become the law of the land.

Dear Preston,
The upcoming election is the most critical election in the history of our nation. The very future of our nation’s foundation is at stake. Every person will be affected. If the liberals win, then our foundation will no longer be based on the traditional Judeo-Christian morality. It will gradually but assuredly be based on an ever shifting, ever moving foundation. If the liberals win, the damage can’t be stopped with elections two, four or forty years from now. America will forever be changed. We will keep seeing a gradual and growing hostility toward people of faith, especially Christians. The morals of our nation will continue to decline. Our children and grandchildren will pay the price.
In case you may think I’m a “the sky is falling” type of person, you should know: When it comes to predictions, I am a very reserved person. But not on this one. I cannot overstate the damage a liberal victory will do to our country. The upcoming election is the most important in the history of our nation. Yes, if the liberals win you will lose some of your religious freedoms and free speech rights. Churches and pastors will not be exempt. You will not be allowed to say certain things about a particular group. Every item of the homosexual agenda will be approved. All the laws protecting the unborn will be wiped away.
I cannot overemphasize the importance of the Nov. 4 election. That is why I urge you to vote and encourage your family members, friends, Sunday School class and church members to vote. America’s future – the future of your children and grandchildren – is at stake.

A Very Boring Debate Tonight
I've been following this race closely, and what we heard during the Debate tonight was the same canned responses from each Candidate that we've been hearing for days and weeks. Personally, I would have liked to have had McCain and Obama answer some "character" questions. It is going to take a man of good character to resolve the economic, national security, social, judicial, and health care issues that are facing us today.
It's been very painful to sit on the sidelines and watch the way that the "mainstream media" has handled the Presidential campaigns. Although, it must be acknowledged that both the NY Times and CNN finally released their stories about Obama's relationship with Bill Ayers. Even the NY Times and CNN admitted that Obama lied when he said that he didn't have a close relationship with Bill Ayers the bomber.
As it turns out Obama and Ayers not only have a close relationship but they have participated in far left wing projects together. One project that Obama and Ayers participated in was doling out $100M dollars in unspecified grant money for radical programs that included indoctrinating children with radical left wing ideology under the guise of "education".
If others in the mainstream media don't pick up on this, in my opinion, they are trying to fix this election by omitting very relevant facts about Obama. I believe that these stories released by CNN and NY Times are just the tip of the proverbial iceberg.
I also would have liked to hear questions about how each of the candidates stand on the issues of abortion and the homosexual agenda. America needs to know the answers to these questions if we are going to be able to make an informed decision in November.
I don't think either McCain or Obama won this debate tonight. But, one thing is for sure, America lost. Many Americans still don't know who Obama is. All that America knows is that Obama is not George Bush. What a tragedy if millions of Americans go to cast their vote in November without knowing who it is that they are voting for.
Character does matter! In my opinion, Obama is wrong for America. The kind of change that Obama represents will only take us further down the slippery slope of socialism.

Question: Is The Media Being Fair to Governor Palin?
Katy Couric and Charlie Gibson and other liberal media types can't hide their disdain for Palin. A notable exception to this was last night's debate with Gwen Ifill moderating.
The liberal media not only "dislikes" Palin, they actually "hate" her. Palin represents everything that the left wing media is opposed to. Palin is strongly pro-life, anti-abortion, anti-infanticide, pro-family, and anti-homosexual "marriage" and lesbian "marriage".
It's obvious that many of the answerers to this question hate her as well.. And I strongly suspect for the same reasons. Not many are honest enough to say so... Instead they bash her for things they know aren't true...
The November election will be an important test of where America stands with respect to morality. Every vote for a man that supports infanticide is more evidence that America has slid that much more down the slippery slope of immoralism.

Question: Why Does the Universe Exist?
Scientists that believe in the "Big Bang" theory have it partially right... They claim that all of the matter in the Universe was contained in a super dense particle perhaps as small as an atom and perhaps as large as the head of a pin. Some call this infinite regression of matter. Actually, true infinite regression would require that that it would regress to "nothing". This accounts for the .00000000000000000001 of a second (Or whatever the new number happens to be..) that they admit that they have no knowledge about.
The "infinite regression to nothing" theory agrees in part, with the Bible. The Bible tells us that the Creator created the Universe from "nothing", that He "spoke" the Universe into existence. The Creator also created all of the laws that man has discovered and many that man has yet to discover. This is what keeps our Solar System, our Galaxy, and the Billions of other Galaxies moving in a predictable and orderly fashion.
The question then arises.. Who created the Creator? That answer is simple and is also found in the Bible. The Creator is eternal. He is without beginning and without ending. God has always existed, and always will exist. God is omniscient, omnipotent, and omnipresent. Which means He is all knowing, all powerful, and that his presence is not limited by time and space.
One answerer to this question said that "God created the Universe for His glory" and they are absolutely right. So, now we have the "what", "how", and "why" the Universe exists.
Another answerer to this question suggested that the Universe could "shrink back to nothing" again and the cycle could be repeated... This theory is partially correct, too... Because the Bible says that, in the Creator's own time, the Universe is going to "burn up" and God will create a "new Heaven, and a new Earth". This, of course, answers the question: "What is going to happen to the existing Universe?"

The "infinite regression to nothing" theory agrees in part, with the Bible. The Bible tells us that the Creator created the Universe from "nothing", that He "spoke" the Universe into existence. The Creator also created all of the laws that man has discovered and many that man has yet to discover. This is what keeps our Solar System, our Galaxy, and the Billions of other Galaxies moving in a predictable and orderly fashion.
The question then arises.. Who created the Creator? That answer is simple and is also found in the Bible. The Creator is eternal. He is without beginning and without ending. God has always existed, and always will exist. God is omniscient, omnipotent, and omnipresent. Which means He is all knowing, all powerful, and that his presence is not limited by time and space.
One answerer to this question said that "God created the Universe for His glory" and they are absolutely right. So, now we have the "what", "how", and "why" the Universe exists.
Another answerer to this question suggested that the Universe could "shrink back to nothing" again and the cycle could be repeated... This theory is partially correct, too... Because the Bible says that, in the Creator's own time, the Universe is going to "burn up" and God will create a "new Heaven, and a new Earth". This, of course, answers the question: "What is going to happen to the existing Universe?"
