People love to follow a charismatic leader. When the economy is in the toilet they love to hear about change for the better. This is nothing new, examples include: Hitler, Lenin, Mao, Castro etc. They were all very good at getting people to follow them, they were inspiring speakers. I do not want to draw too close a comparison to our current situation and any of the aforementioned dictators; but it is always a good idea to be at least a little bit skeptical. I got this in my email this morning: Letter to the Editor of Richmond Times... (more…)

Cindy McCain
Cindy McCain is quite an accomlished woman. I favor John McCain for president and when I read about Cindy I see that she would make a good president too; certainly better than Hillary.

A Muslim Sermon in a Christian Church
A Muslim Sermon in a Christian Church - this article discusses friendly relations between Muslims and Christians. Unfortuanately there seems to be more publicity when there are not so friendly relations. My hope is that the friendly relations are the ones that prevail.

Wesley puts his foot in his mouth…
Clark: Getting ’shot down in plane’ doesn’t make McCain qualified - CNN.com - Wesley puts his foot in his mouth and has his head up his ass. Hell, Obama has even less executive experience. Obama seems to attract some real fools as supporters (like Jeremiah Wright for instance)

more political comments from the lurking chihuahua…
I’m not really very interested in politics. I am very interested in right and wrong; I find the endless posturing and scheming of politics to be a vexation to my soul ! I don’t really fit with the Democrats or the Republicans. Not with the Democrats because I am totally opposed to abortion, I favor a strong military, and I am not real thrilled with the idea of gay “marriage”; nor with the Republicans because I favor strict regulation of business (especially large corporations) and I am also in favor of government health care, aid to education, and in general an active role for government in society.
I despair for our country though ! I know people are not happy with President Bush, so there is a very strong possibility that either Obama or Hillary will be elected. If either of these sorry excuses are elected we are in very deep shit ! May God have mercy on our sorry asses !
some comments about Jeremiah Wright…
When my kids were growing up sometimes when they vexed me I would tell them to “go sit somewhere that I can’t see you or hear you”. Being a good bit older and hopefully somewhat wiser now; I will concede that I really ought not to have spoken to my kids that way. But when considering the “Rev.” Jeremiah Wright I would say that “go sit somewhere that I (and anyone else) can’t see you or hear you” is entirely appropriate. This man is bigoted, hateful, a buffoon, an ignorant fool, and last (but not least) a heretic. He should go into seclusion until he is ready to repent and rehabilitate himself !
