A MarketPlace of Ideas                        

Obama is talking scripture and its funny.   Mainly its funny because the unDemocrat party is the party of ecological religion and not christianity.  By forcing B.O. to talk christianity his base will rapidly see him as a normal old fashioned candidate.  They will rapidly become bored with him.  These are young stupid people that support him.  There is nothing in their heads and they need to be entertained by novelty of the first black candidate.   It came to me while reading an article about Dr Dobsons comments about B.O. that one does not need to build up B.O. by attacking him directly.  You can let him do all the work by making him talk about things that will bore his constituency and in November they will forget to show up.

James J. Cramer today described congress as being populated by luddites for not long ago lifting the ban on offshore drilling.  Cramer is a democrat and has a wide viewer base.  It is getting harder and harder to hide the right approach to problems.

George Carlin died.  I really liked this guys humor in spite some of it having that populist socialist bent.  He is in the balloon room in heaven now. Why do we drive on a parkway and park on a driveway? Let me tell you about endangered species, all right?  Saving endangered species is just one more arrogant attempt by humans to control nature.  It’s arrogant meddling.  It’s what got us in trouble in the first place.  Doesn’t anybody understand that?  Interfering with nature.  Over 90%, way over 90% of all the species that have ever lived on this planet, ever lived, are gone.  They’re extinct.  We didn’t kill them all.  They just disappeared.  That’s what nature does.  We’re so self-important, so self-important.  Everybody is going to save something now.  Save the trees, save the bees, save the whales, save those snails.  And the greatest arrogance of all, save the planet.  What? I’m tired of these self-righteous environmentalists, these white bourgeois liberals who think the only thing wrong with this country is there aren’t enough bicycle paths, people trying to make the world safe for their Volvos.  There is nothing wrong with the planet.  Nothing wrong with the planet.  The planet is fine.  The people are (bleep) — difference, difference.  The planet is fine.  Compared to the people, the planet is doing great.  It’s been here four and a half billion years.  Did you ever think about the arithmetic?  The planet has been here four and a half billion years.  We’ve only been engaged in heavy industry for a little more than 200 years.
