Letter to Barack Obama and anti-coal environmentalist

Mr. Obama and anti-coal environmentalist,



Coal is a fossil fuel that is a heavy pollutant and is harming our environment but you can not stop coal use unless you are ignorant of the truth. WE HAVE NO REPLACEMENT FOR COAL!!!! Not only does coal provide more energy for us than any other fuel source but it is the one fossil fuel our country has an abundance of in reserve(more than even natural gas). If there was a clean replacement for coal then we should stop using coal tomorrow but there is no replacement! We have to use coal until we have something else...end of story.

What about all these new "clean" sources of energy? Wind? Nope, it would take decades for the wind power infrastructure to be built up to make even a dent in what coal gives us now. Nuclear? Nope, it would take more than a hundred years to permit and build even a few nuclear plants and even then they would not make a dent in what coal gives us now. Natural gas? Is an option but we can not just go cold turkey off of coal! Methane from landfills? Burning garbage? All those other pie-in-the-sky green ideas? No, no, and NO! None of those sources are abundant enough to replace coal.


So you say let's get rid of coal anyway and just suffer through the transition? IDIOTIC!!! Half our country would be blacked out. The ones who could get energy would be paying energy bills in the tens of thousands of dollars a month. Not to mention we would be immediately attacked from every country across the globe because without energy it is like we are standing there with our pants down! Besides, I thought Obama was going to create jobs and save the economy? Our economy is energy and energy is our economy. If he did something this stupid, our economy would collapse not to mention the 100s of thousands of American workers he would put out of work!

While I am on the subject let me talk about these supposed miracle cars that are going to get us off of oil and gasoline. Hydrogen cells? Great, but hydrogen does not exist in its natural form on Earth. We have to separate it and we use more power from natural gas(a fossil fuel) to separate hydrogen into its pure form than the power we get in return from the hydrogen! Ethanol? HELL NO! Ethanol is one of the biggest lies ever perpetrated on the American people. Ethanol actually gives off some emissions that are worse than gasoline. Not to mention that there is not enough land area, above water, ON THE ENTIRE PLANET to grow enough crops to satisfy America's need for energy alone! Electric cars? GREAT IDEA! Oh, wait, WHERE DO YOU THINK WE GET THE ELECTRICITY FROM?!?!? That juice flowing out of your wall socket does not magically appear there. It is generated from?...yes! burning coal and other fossil fuels! So, live in your dream world if you want but the fact is that we can work our butts off trying to replace fossil fuels, and we should, but we can not take any drastic measures right now. We do not have the technology! We do not have the infrastructure!

UPDATE: Is this an answer? Air car? It is interesting but a car that only goes 35 mph and can only go 60 miles per tank? I doubt it would be accepted anywhere in the U.S. besides huge cities with residents that only commute inside city limits. This thing compares more favorably to a scooter than a car.

Obama is making this comeback easy for McCain!

Obama- "John McCain and Sarah Palin call this socialistic. I don't know when they decided they wanted to make a virtue out of selfishness.". You have to be kidding me! And I thought Biden was trying to throw the election! COME ON BARACK!!! haha! You are making this too easy!

No, what you are wanting to do to the American people, Barack, is for the teacher to take our sandwich and decide how to split it with other people whether we like it or not!

"Bleeding heart liberals" or hateful hypocrites?

I have been shocked at how nasty, vindictive, and childish democrats have been in this election. No group of people can be accused of all thinking alike but from what I have seen there is a nastiness running through the Democratic party. Story after story during this election tells about how democrats attack anyone who questions them or speaks out against them or their savior Barack Obama. You are not allowed to question him or you get attacked. If you question him anyway, you are a racist! This behavior is unbelievable to me when it is coming from the party that is suppose to be so pro-free speech and so accepting of other peoples' views. Here are a few examples of vindictiveness and pettiness from the left:

• Joe "the Plumber", who I for one am tired of hearing about, was immediately attacked on air by democratic pundits but even worse democratic government officials in his home state of Ohio investigated him and looked into his confidential records then leaked them to the press!

• Obama and Biden smeared and cut off a news organization from their campaign because one of their reporters dared to ask Biden tough questions. Even if they thought these questions were wrong or off base...you answer them then move on. That is the job of the press...ASKING QUESTIONS! This incident shows Obama and Biden have very thin skin and are vindictive! All she did was ask very tough questions, even if they were partisan, THEY WERE QUESTIONS MILLIONS OF AMERICANS ACTUALLY WANTED ASKED!

• Now Obama has kicked three newspaper reporters off his plane! These three reporters just happen to work for papers who endorsed McCain! That is ridiculous! These reporters were reporters not columnist not op end writers! This gives the impression that Obama is petty, thin skinned, and vindictive! This is a HORRIBLE idea this close to the election...this action just makes Obama and his campaign look vindictive and people do not like vindictive people especially in government. I guaranty you that Obama lost a few votes from this incident alone!

In addition to the attacks of the media and democratic pundits there is an amazing amount of hate on the Internet. And, yes, I know there are right-wing loons and hate filled people that are anti-Obama but there is no doubt that they are out numbered this year by hate filled left wingers! The Democrats have always said they were the party for the people. They were the party for the little man. They loved everyone and everything and wanted to make the world a better place. This election has proven otherwise. There is a large population of the Democratic Party that are hateful, childish, and down right ignorant! Hateful websites posting insane ramblings, and yes they are completely insane ramblings about the man and 9/11 conspiracies, out number conservative, or even right wing hate websites, 3 to 1. Do not believe me? Look for yourself! You will find a lot more hate from the left then you will the right...I guaranty it!

After taking all of the hate on the Internet and adding it into the fact that Republicans are actually PROVEN to be more generous and charitable people...I saw that this whole persona of the Democratic party is a crock of shit! They hate just as much as people on the right! They are as vengeful as anything that comes from the right. They are as petty as anyone from the right. All of this makes the Democrats, overall but not every one of them, even bigger frauds because they claim to be something they are not!

Now that I am done bashing a large portion of the Democratic party and calling them out for being hateful, vindictive, and childish...I would like to say that both sides have loons and it is sad. It is one thing to disagree, even passionately disagree, with someones views or beliefs but it does not give you the right to spread hate or be a childish troll! I feel sorry for every person who said things like, "I hope Cheney dies!", or "George Bush is a war criminal", or "lynch Obama", or "I hope McCain's cancer comes back!", or any of the other thousands of hateful and insane things that have been said on the Internet. For you to be that caught up in politics, and that hateful, shows a very big problem in your life. No matter who wins this election, he will be my president. And, here is the thing, he will be your president too! No, do not say that he will not be "your" president...because he will be! If we go by that thinking...if you do not like your boss...is he not your boss? NOPE, he is still your boss! And the question you have to ask is: what will make your place of work, the lives of your co-workers, and your life...easier(not to mention your future brighter)? The answer? Accepting and working with the people around you regardless of your differences because we are all Americans before we are Republicans or Democrats and we are all human beings before that!

Part IV: Barack Obama wins popular vote. McCain wins electoral college and Presidency.

The race is getting closer and there are some trends that spell doom for Barack Obama! In the last few weeks there has been a 20 point closing of the gap, with voters 18-30 years old, in favor of McCain. There has been a 16 point closing of the gap, with voters 30-45 years old, in favor of McCain. There has been no change with voters 45-65 years old and among voters 65+ years old, Obama has moved ahead by 11 points. What does all this mean?

• The changes with voters 18-30 and 30-45 show that John McCain's attacks on Obama as a tax and spend liberal are working. People from their mid-20s to their mid-40s are historically more concerned about someone raising their taxes.
• The lack of change with voters 45-65 shows they might just have made up their minds.
• The change in favor of Obama with voters 65+ show that Obama's attacks on McCain, which link him to President Bush's Social Security Reform, are working.

What do all these things mean when put together?

They show that the race is tightening and that a number of people are becoming wary of Barack Obama's and Joe Biden's many gaffes and unpopular statements of the last month. Hardworking Americans do not like to hear, "Spread the wealth". People do not like to hear, "Paying taxes is patriotic". People are also starting to wonder why a year ago Obama said rich was someone making more than $1 million a year, then a few months ago said rich was $250k, then Biden said it was $150k, and now Bill Richardson, the governor of New Mexico and a supporter of Obama, says it is $120k? Even if those changes are not really changes in policy and/or are taken out of context and/or anything else that Obama's campaign wants to use to defend them...it does not matter! Perception is reality and you can not erase those statements from this campaign. They are there and no amount of explaining will make them go away and people will decide on their own what they mean.

How do these changes support my contention that Obama will win the popular vote but McCain will win the electoral college and the Presidency?

These changes back up my prediction by showing that Obama is vulnerable. My assertion that people will be scared away from Obama the closer they get to actually having to vote for him, also has weight. Lastly, I actually take the 11 point swing towards Obama, with voters 65+, as a positive for McCain. McCain will not do it, for his own reasons, but a group called GOPTrust.com is going to saturate all the swing states with an ad about Reverend Wright. This ad will have the most effect on voters 65+, they are more likely to be patriotic and should be more sensitive to anti-American sentiments and racial issues, thus negating the only positive trend that Obama has in the closing weeks of this election.

Is a Conservative Woman Capable of Breaking the Glass Ceiling?

Vice presidential nominee, senator Joe Biden, tossed around the usual political rhetoric when he stated that Sarah Palin would be a step back for women. What is he really saying though? Is she incapable of being a good role model for the women of America because she's pro-life and supports other conservative principles? He didn't strike against her ethics or experience. Biden himself is attacking women by saying they should follow a particular faction and set of beliefs.

Outside the political spectrum, she has the potential to be the first woman to be elected into the second highest position in this country, while becoming a beacon for women everywhere. Yes, she might of been selected as a political ploy, but she can rise above that through strong leadership. Even if you don't agree with her, the fact is that she is a woman running for the seat of vice president of the United States of America. Who is Joe Biden to say who is and isn't correct in their views? This all seems like a carefully laid trap, and Biden got bit.

Biden: Palin becoming VP would be a step back for women
