MAKING MY POINT
A net buddy of mine and I have been having some good chats about different things. He's a real radical thinker. One of those "Looney Left". We both have our points to make, mine are better, but one of the best debated topics we have engaged in is religious persecution.
His Point - The religious right of this country have persecuted the non-religious
My Point - The non-religious have been trying for years to silence the religious
In a recent post of his blog, he said, "No, the REAL religious persecution comes when you (Your Average Fundy) wants to push your religion down MY throat. When you want to stick YOUR 10 Commandments into OUR court houses. When you want to shove your MISINTERPRETED religious beliefs in OUR public schools." I'm not a religious person, as I've stated before I'm an agnostic, but it's my understanding of Christian teachings that Christ said something to the effect of "Go forth and spread the word." That's what they’re trying to do. Now I don't agree with it 100%. We should leave people to worship, or not, as they see fit. But we can't tell people to NOT try and spread the word that they live their lives by and they believe in. That's trying to silence them. That's persecution. We all have the right in this great country to say what we want, within reason.
He doesn’t want the 10 Commandments in a federal courthouse. I can understand that's his choice, but to say flat-out "no" is as bad as the ones who want it displayed flat-out saying "yes" it will be displayed. Just because it's yours, or my, opinion doesn't make it the right one.
GM, or JW, I'm sure we'll get into a few more passionate discussions, like abortion and the death penalty, and I'm looking forward to it.
God Bless America
DISRUPT MY DINNER AGAIN AND FEEL MY WRATH
Yesterday, President Bush signed into law the "Do Not Call List". About time. This list was setup to stop telemarketers from harrassing people at home. 50,000,000 Americans have signed up on the list. All was going fine until a liberal judge here in Oklahoma said, "NO". The the house and senate past legislation saying that it would go forward. And yet again another liberal judge in Colorado went against the American peoples wishes and said, "NO". And now President Bush has made it law. It's still being contested in court, but some telemarketer have said they'll honor the list. Good for them. Just leave me alone. I don't want any of the crap your trying to sell and I don't want to talk to you either.

NOT A GUN BLAZING, DO OR DIE REPUBLICAN
Some here may be saying to themselves, Powerage, that's my internet name here, are you a die hard Republican? Do all of your view mesh with those of the stereotypical conservative. And my answer them is, "No". Not all my views are of the conservative variety, though most are. Some of the places were we differ are:
1. Guns - I hate guns. I think guns should be outlawed. The only people in the world that need guns are the police and military.
2. God - I'm an agnostic. I don't not believe in God or a God, it's just that I have some trouble excepting one.
3. Homosexuality - The stereotypical view of Republicans is that we hate gays. While it's true that some do, it's also true that some Democrats are homophobic as well. I don't care one way or the other. We're born loving who we love. We're not trained or brainwashed into it.
Those are the three big differences we have. I'm a registered Republican, but I consider myself an Independent Conservative. My views are my own, and I don't follow the trends set forth by other. This also goes for everything else. Fashion, music, movies and such. If it's popular, I more than likely hate it.

CLARK SUPPORTS W
In 2001 Wes Clark (D) made a speach to Arkansas Republicans stating that, "I'm very glad we've got the great team in office, men like Colin Powell, Don Rumsfeld, Dick Cheney, Condoleezza Rice, Paul O'Neill - people I know very well - our president, George W. Bush. We need them there." Clark, in the past, has voted for Nixon and Reagan, then said that we need Bush in the White House. Make up your mind Wes. Are you a Democrat or Republican? The way your flip flopping on your views, you must be a Democrat. About Ronald Wilson Reagan, Clark has said, "We were really helped when President Ronald Reagan came in ... He was truly a great American leader. And those of us in the Armed Forces loved him, respected him and tremendously admired him." I can't agree more with you Wes. Ronald Reagan is, and forever will be, a great man. A man that did change his views as well. Looks like Clark took a cue from Reagan, but in the wrong direction.

"BUBBA" CLINTON WON THE WAR
Well according to Hillary.
Credit to Newsmax.com
Who deserves credit for America's military victory over Saddam Hussein's armies four months ago?
Why, the Clinton administration, of course – at least according to Hillary Clinton.
The former first lady made the bizarre assertion Wednesday morning during remarks at Washington, D.C.'s Godfrey Sperling breakfast.
According to the Washington Times, she based the claim on something Vice President Dick Cheney said during Desert Storm about wars being won with the prior administration's military.
By that measure, said then-Defense Secretary Cheney, he should have written a thank-you note to President Reagan after Gulf War I.
"I don't think [Cheney has] done that to my husband yet," Hillary said, adding, "I'd be happy to deliver it personally."
I knew the Clinton's were arrogant and conceded, but this is laughable. The man who effectively destroyed the military during his 8-year reign, and his wife thinks we should thank him. Dear God.
Other news that I haven't had the chance to report on.
Carol Moseley Braun announced that she in the race officially. Why? No offense to her, I'm sure she's a very nice and intelligent woman, but she hasn't a snowballs chance in hell of winning. Why waste the money? I don't know.
A California Gubernatorial debate took place last night. I don't think there was a real winner, but I do think two people lost it. Arrian Huffington and Cruz Bustamante. She was like a yapping dog the whole time. She was in attack mode against Arnold. Funny, when just a couple of months ago she was knocking over microphones and people just to try and get next to him for a photo. Bustamante pulled and Al Gore. He kept sighing and rolling his eyes everytime someone attacked him. That's a no-no Cruz, didn't you learn anything for Al two years ago?
And lastly, for Gohan.
LOOK INTO MY EYES. (.)(.) YOU WILL COME OVER TO THE DARK SIDE. LEAVE THE LIBERAL PARTY, GO CONSERVATIVE. ITS NOT ALL THAT BAD. I CAN HELP YOU FIND YOUR WAY.

NEWS, NEWS AND MORE NEWS
Been away for a couple of days, but now I'm back. Let's get to the news.
Hurricane Isabel made landfall yesterday. Good news and sad news to report about Isabel. Good news is that it really fell apart before it made landfall. Isable started as a catagory 5 hurricane, but by the time it made landfall it was downgraded to a catagory 1-2. Could have been a hundred times worse than it was. The sad news is that 17 people, as of this reporting, lost their lives as a result to the storm. I'm sure our thoughts and prayers go out to those that lost loved ones.
The 9th circuit court of appeals agrees to reconsider the delay of the California re-call election. The "Go cry to your mamma" Democrats and the ACLU, more about them below, originaly went to the 9th circuit court trying to get it pushed back to March of next year. Read the post "LOONY LEFT CRY FOUL" for more info. Three left wing judges ruled that the re-call election was unconstitutional because of the punch card voting machines in use in 44% of California. But they were okay when Davis won re-election the last time around.
The ACLU, stands for Anit-Conservative Liberal Union, are a bunch of hypocrites. Over the week, the liberal Lord and Savior, Bill Clinton made a stop in California to help Grey Davis beat back the vast Right-Wing consperacy and their attempst to remove the bumbling Governer from office. The two silver haired conmen paid a visit to a church in California to hold the rally. Now the ACLU is suppost to be all for the serparation of Chuch and State, yet they have yet to protest Clinton and Davis's actions. Holding a polital rally in a church, sounds like the bringing together of Church and State to me. I wonder if Bush were to hold a re-election rally in a church, would the ACLU protest and bitch about it? You better believe it.
The Vatican has thrown it's endorsement behind Mel Gibson's latest film, The Passion. The film is about the last hours of Christ. Many have condimed this film as being anti-semitic. But Cardinal Dario Castrillon Hoyos has been quoted as saying, "I would like all Catholic priests in the world to see this film. I hope that all Christians can see it, everyone in the world." I for one want to see this movie. I'm not a religious person, I'm a agnostic, but this movie looks very interesting to me.
And finally, Bill O'Reilly's new book, Who's Looking Out for You?, is set to be released the 23rd of this month. It's destined to by a best seller, but I urge everyone to go out and buy a copy of it.
That's a lot of news.

ANALYSIS OF THE BIG, AND NOT SO BIG, TEN
Well, we now have 10 Democrats vying for the nomination. Let’s see if I can name them all.
Dean – Front runner. Something evil about his eyes. Don’t trust him. Wants to take money away from the poor. He wants to repeal all the tax cuts
Kerry – Vietnam War vet. Tries to portray himself as the big war hero.
Edwards – Good ‘Ol boy, but ashamed of it.
Clark – Eisenhower wannabe. But not. Michael Moore's favorite. Moore's endorsment alone would be enough to make me drop out.
Lieberman – The only one that makes any sense.
Sharpton- No chance in hell.
Kucinich – Who?
Braun – Again, who?
Gephardt – No chance.
Graham – Again, no chance in hell.
Damn, that’s better than most of the country. Most of the country can’t even name one of them.
The thing about these candidates is, not what they have to say, because so far they haven’t said anything about how they would do something, it’s all about who can bash Bush the best. That’s who’s going to get the nomination. All you have to say is “Bush is bad” the best way and *BOOM* you have the nomination. The Democrats are still upset that they lost in 2000 and 2002, so it’s whoever can stir up those feelings the best that they will choose.
