I was researching this last night and woke up this morning to hear that oil and fuel stocks are the hot stocks today with a 12% increase overall. What a coincidence!
I was a bit surprised to find out the following on Shale oil!
A headline on an old newspaper reads: Oil Shale Development Imminent,". That edition of the defunct Grand Junction News, was published at the dawn of the 20th century.
More than a hundred years later, instability is roiling world oil markets, and Americans are paying $3 a gallon for gas. And oil shale fever is again rising in the geologic region known as the Piceance Basin, part of the Green River Formation
that stretches across the rugged plains of northwestern Colorado and parts of Wyoming and Utah.
There is no dispute that a thousand feet below the isolated ranch country here on Colorado's western slope lie almost unimaginable oil riches. It's locked in sedimentary rock -- essentially immature oil that given a few million years under heat and pressure would produce pools of oil easy to extract.
The Energy Department and private industry estimate that a trillion barrels are here in Colorado -- about the same amount as the entire world's known reserves of conventional oil. The entire Green River Formation might hold as much as 2 trillion barrels.
supposedly secretly Pushed by the Bush administration and legislation from Congress last year, and spurred by oil prices above $70 a barrel, the energy industry is mobilizing to unlock the secret of oil shale. As it has before, oil shale holds out the hope of a USA no longer dependent on foreign oil. Shell Oil is engaged in a multiyear test of a new technology for extracting the oil. Previous efforts that were uneconomical and environmentally destructive entailed mining the rock, crushing it and heating it above ground to release the oil.
Shell's new process involves sinking heaters deep underground, cooking the rock at 700 degrees and recovering the oil and natural gas with conventional drilling.
For a decade, Shell has been ramping up its research on private property here. It is also one of a handful of companies vying for research and development leases on larger tracts of federal land nearby. That could lead to full-scale development across 1,200 square miles of western Colorado.
Early results are promising, says Terry O'Connor, a vice president in the oil giant's unconventional resource division. But, he admits, "no one has been able to develop oil shale on a commercially sustainable basis. http://www.usatoday.com/....
That is $3 fuel that is here now, then I hear this a while back and more started making sense!
Legendary oilman T Boone Pickens says he doesn't believe that the oil sands are an effective substitute for our fuel needs. Pickens said Tuesday that huge development costs and a tight labor supply will prevent the Alberta oil sands and other unconventional means of production from covering the shortfall in supply. That said, Pickens holds a big stake in both the Canadian Oil Sands Trust [TSX:COS.UN] and Suncor Energy. http://www.resourceinvestor.com/....
When Pickens was in the Alberta oil sand fields in the 60's somebody said this isn't going to work, it isn't possible. It'll all have to be subsidized to a level, said, before they'd make money you'd have to have $5 oil," Pickens says laughing. "We never thought it would happen." http://www.cbsnews.com/....
Two years ago I did a story on shale oil and oil sand but it did not go over well because people felt it would never happen. Knowing all the research and development that has been put into these alternatives!
Knowing that T Boone Pickens has invested multiple millions in this! Knowing that between us and Canada we have the more reserves than the entire world combined!
Knowing that he said refining it would not be profitable until fuel hit $5 per gallon, you have to believe that $5 gas wall be here before you know it!
My question is have the oil companies purposely been driving up the prices in order to justify retrieving this huge reserves at our expense? Also at the expense of the environment and alternative fuel sources!

Bush's New World (dis)order: Today N.K,Israel, Hamas, Iraq, India help it along!
North Korea's ambassador to Australia warned Sunday that international attempts to halt his nation's missile tests could lead to war.
http://www.cbsnews.com/...
Israel refuses cease fire, press on, tactics could backfire. I guarantee they will!
http://www.sfgate.com/...
India Sunday successfully test-fired its nuclear-capable Agni-III intermediate range ballistic missile (IRBM) that is capable of reaching targets as far as China,
defense officials said.
http://indiaenews.com/...
Gunmen kill 40 Sunni's following bombing os Shiite place of prayer-fears that Iraq won't hold together and it will not!
http://www.cnn.com/...
Below are recent events with Israel and Hamas!
existence.http://today.reuters.co.uk/....
Meanwhile, the U.N. Secretary-General, Kofi Annan, called for "an immediate halt to the disproportionate use of force by Israel, which has already killed and wounded many civilians, for the release of Israeli army corporal Gilad Shalit, and for the cessation of rocket fire into Israel."
Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said on Friday that the continuation of Israeli attacks in Gaza would cause an "explosion" in the Islamic world. http://www.hindu.com/....
I hate to tell Ahmadinejad this Bush Israel and Hamas are doing their share. However, as I have said many times, Bush attacking Iraq ensured that this would happen. It is already in process and Iran is clandestinely doing their share but it will get a lot worse. Israel like Bush, will not stop and will heed no good advice. Those that have read my posts know that this is all still just getting started!
Israel, Palestine, Syria, Iraq,india, North Korea, Egypt? Iran is champing at the bit to get involved overtly. Bush's New World Order Is Spreading! Our earlier call for a total middle east breakdown is getting closer!

Bin Laden wants war with Shiites, Maliki fears loss of Iraq, Now Rebels want arms From Iraq, What to Do?
First have to say I was okay with and all for giving insurgents Amnesty.they should be utilized to help get Iraq established.
I felt the Iraqi's should be allowed to do what they think they have to do in order to get Iraq normalized if that is possible but arming rebels to hopefully combat outside insurgents? http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,...
I heard this a couple of days ago and my knee jerk reaction was , what are you crazy? I started thinking about it and thought I should give this proposal some more thought myself.
It might be a good idea, at least with just light weapons and closely monitored. Knowing the history there and keeping in mind the rest of this story, please tell me what you all think about this idea?
After Zarqawi's death we made this prediction and warning! War at least in Iraq will now be moved to the next level. This is not a victory in the war on terror!
Zarqawi was killed in Diyala! If anything it is a victory for that area as it was recently said that if sectarian violence was to continue it would come from there. Now we know why!
With Zarqawi's call for increased violence against Sunni's already having been made and heard, the damage to Iraqi stability is done.
With violence increasing and spreading in Iraq, Zarqawi has done his job, he served his purpose, His death will now serve to move the war in Iraq to the next level, that is all. We saw how much the capture of Saddam did for us.
This is no blow to the global war on terror or the violence in Iraq! As it always does when you take out an Islamist leader it will now only get worse as his death is absorbed by the insurgency. Remember, the reason being is that this whole war on terror is just starting. It is still growing and gaining legs. http://articles.news.aol.com/...
We said Zarqawi will be quickly replaced and he has been already. You will once again see the violence step up and now move in many new directions with many new sources cropping up all over with new volunteers to fight and martyr themselves for Allah.
It will only get increasingly worse in Iraq as the insurgency will now spread out more, be increasingly more deadly and ruthless, and It will not get better! We know this is true now.
Besides that impact that is obvious to me. I would be very concerned if I was a Jordanian. I would be more watchful than ever!
Zarqawi has been disowned by his family for rears. With their announcement of this and their recent statement that he is a martyr for Islam, you know they never disowned him in fact but are angry!
Jordan will receive major retribution for their collaboration with us and their perceived turning on Islam! as I am writing this I just heard that Al Qaeda has vowed to continue and I just heard that there is a continuation of bombings and killings in Iraq.
I will say again that we are winning nothing. This is just starting and will continue to spread. after it spreads through Iraq and the entire middle east, the entire world will be involved. http://www.dailykos.com/story/2006/6...
Bin Laden as most know has asked Sunni's to kill Shiite's lest they be annihilated.
This Iraqi breakdown needs no outside help. It is self perpetuating and will not stop. My concern is that Saudi Arabia who looks at itself as the protector of Sunni's will intervene and Iran will help the Shiites as seems to be happening
What should wake you up is that Iraq's PM Maliki said that a loss of the Iraq war would be a loss of the country of Iraq.
I hate to be the one to tell him but Iraq is already lost. It is in civil war and that cannot be stopped now. It is now in proccess.As I have said many times, it will and is spreading throughout the entire middle east. You can thank Bush and his new world order!

Great News For Us: Delay Must Remain on Ballot Despite Resigning Congress! Yay!
Former Rep. Tom DeLay (R-Texas) must remain on the November ballot despite his resignation from Congress last month, a federal judge ruled Thursday.
U.S. District Judge Sam Sparks, a Republican appointee, ruled that DeLay has to stay on the November ballot even though he has left Congress and has become a legal resident of Virginia.
This is great, A republican nominee even! Sounds really good for us and" we the people" and I hope the momentum builds and continues!
Bowing to Democrats and Republicans in his own district, DeLay opted to withdraw his bid for a 12th term earlier this year for fear that he might lose the Republican-held seat and out of concern that his reelection bid gave Democrats too much to rally around this campaign season. " We still have it"
The Texas Democratic Party legally challenged whether DeLay should be ineligible to run and the court heard arguments on the case last week. The ruling is a major blow to Republicans in the state's 22nd district and in Washington because party officials -- at least for now -- cannot replace DeLay's name on the ballot. That would mean DeLay would have to stand for reelection despite his resignation
This ruling has ignited Democratic hopes that they can win the seat this fall because even if Republicans win on appeal, there are only four months before the election - little time to win a legal battle and rally behind a replacement candidate. this should be good but what about the Bush factor?
"I think it's a sad day for the voters of the 22nd district of Texas," said Gary Gillen, the chairman of the Republican Party of Fort Bend County, which is one of the four counties in that district. "I think [the ruling] denies the voters the opportunity to select the candidate they want to vote for."
I beg to differ! This is a great day and a great victory for decency, America, and our ability to take our America back! This looks real good to me!
It's just not fair for Republicans,"Gary Gillen chairman of the Republican Party of Fort Bend County said. "All the time we're working through this process, [the Democrats] are out campaigning." http://www.hillnews.com/...
What do Repugs know about fair? Cry loud, cry often, has worked for them in the past. Hopefully that time is over. It is time they were treated as equals on a level playing field at least. Then we will beat them!
*when all is said and done, you have to believe that behind the scenes Bush will be underhandedly pulling strings to get this outcome in Repugs favor and of course he will deny it!

We Were Setting N Korea up! called paper Tiger! They Will Harm Someone But who?
We knew all along!
Why are we playing party political games in our world politics?
What is wrong with our politicians?
North Korea vowed to continue missile tests after yesterday's firing of seven rockets, saying it doesn't have to notify the U.S., Japan and other countries about launches that are part of its regular military training.
http://www.bloomberg.com/...
With that known I have to wonder what the hell we are doing? N Korea does not need our ignorant, irresponsible, overconfident, childish, verbal instigation.We seem to arrogantly do this continually and always worsen situations instead of
pacifying them. I just do not understand the politics of threats and verbal abuse. It is irresponsible and counterproductive.Do not cooperate but do not worsen!
Asked on CBS' "The Early Show" whether Washington should have destroyed the missiles before launch, Biden said, "I would rather have seen it do exactly what it did, demonstrate to the whole world that it is in fact a paper tiger.
"It does not have the capacity to do any short-term damage to the United States of America or Japan," said Biden, a potential Democratic candidate for president in 2008.
http://today.reuters.com/...
He is right, they pose no real threat to us but? N Korea will not back down. They are not that intelligent. Humiliating them will do nothing but egg them on to attacking someone but who? They have threatened annihilation but of who?
I was led to believe that the firing of the 7 missiles was a surprise. Then I find out we knew about that and area ships were warned of them and their firing well in advance.we kept it quiet.
http://blog.washingtonpost.com/...
We thought we were merely setting N Korea up and it seems we were right!
We know Bush diplomacy always fails and it seems to be by design. those of us with a little bit of sense call them threats not Diplomacy. We always talk about Bush's politics of do as I say not as I do. They are bound to and designed to fail.
http://www.dailykos.com/...
Now we have N Korea preparing for more tests. North Korea vowed to continue missile tests after yesterday's firing of seven rockets, saying it doesn't have to notify the U.S., Japan and other countries about launches that are part of its regular military training.
http://www.bloomberg.com/...
This takes heat off Iran and other areas that need and deserve interests! So what is the results of all this and what is next?

Increased Pirate Attacks, Middle east Failing, 3rd Front in Somalia? Homeland Insecurity!
Bush says our Enemies are Vulnerable! What?
Three piracy attacks in a week off the coast of Indonesia's Aceh province have triggered sharp concerns over security in the northern Malacca Strait, authorities said on Wednesday.
The incident on Tuesday was the sixth pirate attack in the strait this year.
http://www.bangkokpost.com/...
The middle east breakdown that many of us saw as a result if Bush attacked Iraq is well on its way. This new world order of Bush's is a great success huh! It will soon get worse!
Israel, Palestine, Syria hiding terrorists, Iraq, Egypt? Saudi Arabia financing them? aren't We vulnerable?
http://www.dailykos.com/...
Bin Laden seems to be looking for a 3rd front in the war against so called terror in Somalia. Despite what we think, this should be very concerning. We are spread thin now!
http://www.theglobeandmail.com/...
N Korea fires 7 missiles! Our allies look to be the threatened so that means us!
http://www.chinadaily.com.cn/...
With our ongoing Border insecurity and our failing Homeland security still not being addressed and remaining a critical issue!
http://blog.washingtonpost.com/...
With all this and a lot more, it just blows me away that President Bush, celebrating his fourth July Fourth as a wartime leader, said Tuesday U.S. troops will overcome persistent violence in Iraq and a rekindled insurgency in Afghanistan because the enemy is vulnerable.
http://www.cnn.com/...
The enemy is vulnerable? He better come out of his hole, wake up, and look around! I have to believe that it is us that is the most vulnerable. What do you think?

Have A Nice 4th, Remember What They Say & just Have A Laugh Of Common Sense!
First remember this: there's a proliferation of one inch bed bugs, so don't hang around in bed!
Don't drink coffee because it might not be good for your health! Another study says it might be so what to do?
You better eat breakfast otherwise I hear you won't have the energy for a cook out!
Cookout, God forbid! Yesterday I heard you better stick to grilling vegetables because grilling meat might cause might cause prostate, colon, or stomach cancer.
Don't drink too much, Be Careful of What You Drink & keep a designated driver on call!
Don't go outside until you make sure it's the right kind and it won't somehow poison you!
If you get bit by a mosquito don't panic but you may get West Nile Disease!
When you do get up the guts to go outside watch out for the sun! Shin cancer you know!
Make sure you slather on enough of the right SPF to keep you alive! You might want to crawl back into bed but don't forget those nasty bedbugs!
If your lucky enough to brave the outdoors and survive until fireworks time don't use your own because you might get blown up or die. Let your town take care of it so you only have to worry about getting hit by a misfire!
if your real lucky you might survive the day and do it again next year!
If you get lucky it might rain all day & you want have to risk your life to have a good 4th!
Maybe after all it might be stay home indoors suck your thumb and say What The Fuck?
All kidding aside. Think about it, laugh it off, and just do the common sensed thing!
Happy 4th, Have a nice day!
There is so much to add, what do you have to add?

The Lasting Terrible Effects & Legacy Of Bush's Presidency & MisAdministration!
Trying to get one more person to realize Bush’s damage will not end with his Presidency!
Your'e right about everything including politics, being cyclical. As for Bush’s favoring of the rich, and blind following of his plan for new societal and world order, I sent you a link so you could download a doctrine of fact/Bush uncovered. http://www.anaveragepatriot.com I went to the site ”question it Now” and looked around.
All of the questions I saw and many more will be answered when you look at what I know as the Russian Doctrine of Destruction that he is blindly following with his perverted version of religion and democracy.
Bush’s Presidency will end but he will make things here and around the world a lot worse because he still has time left and he is not done. The thing that no one seems to understand is that this downward spiral here and around the world especially, will not end with his Presidency.
He has unleashed too many conflicting feelings and emotions. It can’t and will not be controlled. It is taking on a life of its own and will continue to snowball and get worse. Iraq’s civil war will worsen, spread throughout the middle east, and drag down the entire world unless someone of consequence is smart enough to realize this , intervene, and put an end to it.

That will not happen because the Nationalist and religious fervor that Reagan first woke up and Bush stupidly picked up the mantle on, will not be quelled for generations to come. With the fragility of the planet and its life sustaining systems in mind and the prospect of a new world war maybe nuclear, you have to wonder what will be left. Please look at Lifes Cycles and the dire consequences of ignoring where we are in them as we are. http://www.anaveragepatriot.com
Looking at your comment: Hopefully, enough Americans are searching for a better way. If so, I trust we are about to witness a concerted attempt to bring some measure of accountability and transparency back to Washington DC. Will the 21st Century Teddy Roosevelt please stand up?
I agree and have written many times that we are still waiting for our shining light to guide us out of this ever darkening tunnel Bush has purposely and stupidly created for us and the world. To me that Guiding Light is Al Gore! This is his time and he knows we need him.
Now it is up to a majority of Americans to wake up and realize this and make sure he runs in 2008 as I know he will and he will win. We need his Direction and there is no other that has trained so hard and can do the job!
Happy Independence Day!

Your'e right about everything including politics, being cyclical. As for Bush’s favoring of the rich, and blind following of his plan for new societal and world order, I sent you a link so you could download a doctrine of fact/Bush uncovered. http://www.anaveragepatriot.com I went to the site ”question it Now” and looked around.
All of the questions I saw and many more will be answered when you look at what I know as the Russian Doctrine of Destruction that he is blindly following with his perverted version of religion and democracy.
Bush’s Presidency will end but he will make things here and around the world a lot worse because he still has time left and he is not done. The thing that no one seems to understand is that this downward spiral here and around the world especially, will not end with his Presidency.
He has unleashed too many conflicting feelings and emotions. It can’t and will not be controlled. It is taking on a life of its own and will continue to snowball and get worse. Iraq’s civil war will worsen, spread throughout the middle east, and drag down the entire world unless someone of consequence is smart enough to realize this , intervene, and put an end to it. I do not see that happening!

Israel, Palestine, Syria, Iraq, Egypt? Bush's New World Order Is Spreading!
Our earlier call for a total middle east breakdown is getting closer!
Israel rounded up members of the Hamas-led Palestinian government Thursday, arresting Cabinet ministers and parliament members as a crisis over the kidnapping of an Israeli soldier deepened.
The Palestine Liberation Organization said 84 people had been arrested, including seven Cabinet officials and 21 members of the Palestinian parliament.
Chief Palestinian negotiator Saeb Erakat denounced the arrest of the Palestinian government officials.
"Kidnapping Palestinian lawmakers and holding the Palestinian government hostage
will not strengthen Israel's hand in bargaining [for soldier's release] nor bring any good to anyone in the region," he said.
Israeli officials said the Palestinians were under arrest as suspected terrorists.
Meanwhile, Palestinian militants blew a hole in the fence along the Gaza border with Egypt, Palestinian sources said, and Palestinians were rushing to get through.
Security forces reportedly were trying to reseal the border. All border crossings were sealed Monday by Israel.
In light of the fact that I did this post in March saying Hamas would never leave Israel alone and would do their share to ensure a total breakdown of the Middle East. Please look at this link and think about the recent events in and around Gaza!
http://anaverageamericanpatriot.blog...
Palestinian militants tunneled into Israel and attacked a military post near Israel's border with Egypt and Gaza,
Israeli troops immediately entered southern Gaza in the hours after the attack in an attempt to find the soldier and destroy the tunnel. After destroying the tunnel, the soldiers moved out and massed along the edge of Gaza.
PLEASE READ THE LINK! THERE IS A LOT MORE AND THEN THERE'S SYRIA!
Wednesday evening, Israeli jets buzzed the home of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad in Ladekye, outside Damascus. Israeli television reported that the president was at home at the time.
Israeli Deputy Prime Minister Shimon Peres complained that Syria allowed the exiled Hamas political leader Khalid Meshaal -- operating out of Damascus -- to order the kidnapping of the Israeli corporal.
The flyover was seen as an attempt to bring pressure on al-Assad to rein in Meshaal.
Syrian state television called the Israeli flyover "an unacceptable, hostile and provocative act." Syria said its anti-aircraft batteries fired on the Israeli warplanes and chased them away.

more Lying Shameless Repug Politics: Furthering A NonLeak Issue!
The House on Thursday approved a Republican-crafted resolution condemning news organizations for revealing a covert government program to track terrorist financing, saying the disclosure had “placed the lives of Americans in danger.”
The resolution, passed 227-183 on a largely party-line vote, did not specifically name the news organizations, but it was aimed at The New York Times and other news media that last week reported on a secret CIA-Treasury program to track millions of financial records in search of terrorists.
Most Democrats opposed the measure, protesting language in it that asserts that the Terrorist Finance Tracking Program was “rooted in sound legal authority” and that members of Congress had been appropriately briefed on the program.
While the Los Angeles Times and Wall Street Journal also carried stories on the program, Republicans singled out The New York Times. Pure Friggen Politics! I Hate It!
“The recent front-page story in the aforementioned New York Times cut the legs out from under this program,” said the Financial Services Committee chairman, Rep. Michael Oxley, R-Ohio. “Now the terrorists are well-informed of the details of our methods and will find other ways to move money outside of the formal financial system.”
The administration and the 9/11 Commission “went to The New York Times and asked them in the interest of national security not to release the details of this program,” said Rep. Peter King, R-New York, chairman of the Homeland Security Committee. “They went ahead and did it anyway.”
The Times has defended its reporting, saying publication has served America’s public interest. Its executive editor, Bill Keller, said in a statement after the House passed the resolution that the paper took seriously the risks of reporting on intelligence.
“We have on many occasions withheld information when lives were at stake,” Keller said. “However, the administration simply did not make a convincing case that describing our efforts to monitor international banking presented such a danger. Indeed, the administration itself has talked publicly and repeatedly about its successes in the area of financial surveillance.”
The resolution “condemns the unauthorized disclosure of classified information” and “expects the cooperation of all news media organizations in protecting the lives of Americans and the capability of the government to identify, disrupt and capture terrorists by not disclosing classified intelligence programs such as the Terrorist Finance Tracking Program.”
Democrats reacted angrily to the GOP majority’s refusal to allow them to offer an alternative that would also have expressed concerns about the unauthorized leak of classified information but would have left out language defending the legality of the program.
“What you have done is to hijack the virtually unanimous support for tracking terrorist financing into an endorsement of the way the Bush administration has conducted itself,” said Rep. Barney Frank, D-Massachusetts, author of the alternative.
“It is a campaign document,” said Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi of California.
“There’s never been any oversight of the program,” she said. “You are asking us to vote on something that we absolutely cannot attest to.”
http://www.cnn.com/2006/POLITICS
This is absolute Bullshit! I did a post a couple days back when Bush first made this an issue. this is shameless political Republican crap! The terrorist knew we were looking into all their finances and ways of hiding their money. As I said before, Bush announced this himself right after 9/11. There is no practical reason for his or the Repug Congress’s ignorance in making a issue of this and with the New York Times beyond further division and Political Gain. I can’t stand it!

Obama To Dems: Woo Evangelicals! It's Only Common sense!
This is an important part of us taking our America back, please read!
Sen. Barack Obama chastised fellow Democrats Wednesday for failing to “acknowledge the power of faith in the lives of the American people” and said the party must compete for the support of evangelicals and other churchgoing Americans.
“Not every mention of God in public is a breach to the wall of separation. Context matters,” the Illinois Democrat said in remarks to a conference of Call to Renewal, a faith-based movement to overcome poverty.
“It is doubtful that children reciting the Pledge of Allegiance feel oppressed or brainwashed as a consequence of muttering the phrase `under God,”‘ he said. “Having voluntary student prayer groups using school property to meet should not be a threat any more than its use by the High School Republicans should threaten Democrats.”
Obama, the only black in the Senate, drew national notice even before arriving in Congress last year, and has occasionally used his visibility to scold members of his own party. Widely sought as a fundraiser for other Democrats, Obama responded with a noncommittal laugh this spring when asked whether he wants a spot on the national ticket in 2008.
His speech included unusually personal references to religion, the type of remarks that usually come more readily from Republicans than Democrats.
“Kneeling beneath that cross on the South Side of Chicago, I felt I heard God’s spirit beckoning me,” he said of his walk down the aisle of the Trinity United Church of Christ. “I submitted myself to his will and dedicated myself to discovering his truth.”
Obama said millions of Christians, Muslims and Jews have traveled similar religious paths, and that is why “we cannot abandon the field of religious discourse.
In other words, if we don’t reach out to evangelical Christians and other religious Americans and tell them what we stand for, Jerry Falwells and Pat Robertsons will continue to hold sway.”
Obama coupled his advice with a warning. “Nothing is more transparent than inauthentic expressions of faith: the politician who shows up at a black church around election time and claps — off rhythm — to the gospel choir.”
At the same time, he said, “Secularists are wrong when they ask believers to leave their religion at the door before entering the public square.”
As a result, “I think we make a mistake when we fail to acknowledge the power of faith in the lives of the American people and join a serious debate about how to reconcile faith with our modern, pluralistic democracy.”
Obama mentioned leaders of the religious right briefly, saying they must “accept some ground rules for collaboration” and recognize the importance of the separation of church and state.
http://www.cnn.com/...
I was so taken by this speech from Obama that I thought you should see the entire story. I happen to think we should be wooing the Religious Right.
They are only being abused and used by Bush. Many of us are Christian and we all love our America.
I don’t understand why we have not tried to get the Religious Right on our side because the left is right and the right is wrong!
The stupid games the Repugs have played portraying us as atheists and haters of God and country must be brought to light and laid to rest.
We merely want a separation of church and state as was intended.
Bush’s purposeful injection of fudamentalism into our politics is damaging America!
There is a place for everything and everything in its place, that is all.

Democrats: No Raises For Congress Until Minimum Wage Increased! It's About Time!
I have to say that I can’t believe this has not been done in the past. I think it is purely for political gain on the part of Democrats as well as on Republicans. We though are on the right side of this one. We are standing up for the average American and Repugs have to admtit they are on the side of Business interests.
Their excuse that an increase from $5.15 to $7.25 per hour would hurt small Business owners doesn’t make sense to me. I would have to say that there are not too
many small legitimate Business’s that can operate paying their employees only $5.15 per hour. What do you think Of this?
A week after the GOP-led Senate rejected an increase to the minimum wage, Senate Democrats on Tuesday vowed to block pay raises for members of Congress until the minimum wage is increased.
“We’re going to do anything it takes to stop the congressional pay raise this year, and we’re not going to settle for this year alone,” Democratic Leader Harry Reid of Nevada said at a Capitol news conference.
“They can play all the games the want,” Reid said derisively of the Republicans who control the chamber. “They can deal with gay marriage, estate tax, flag burning, all these issues and avoid issues like the prices of gasoline, sending your kid to college. But we’re going to do everything to stop the congressional pay raise.”
The minimum wage is $5.15 an hour. Democrats want to raise it to $7.25. During the past nine years, as Democrats have tried unsuccessfully to increase the minimum wage, members of Congress have voted to give themselves pay raises — technically “cost of living increases” — totaling $31,600, or more than $15 an hour for a 40-hour week, 52 weeks a year, according to the Congressional Research Service.
In floor debate last week Republicans argued the raise for low-income workers would hurt small businesses. They offered an alternative measure to raise the minimum wage that was tied to tax breaks for small businesses.
The main proposal fell eight votes short of the 60 it needed to pass with 46 opposing; the alternative measure mustered only 45 votes in favor, while 53 senators opposed.
Reid wouldn’t spell out the specific tactics he would employ to block the congressional pay raise — which is triggered each year with the passage of an appropriations bill not by a vote on a stand alone bill to increase pay for members. But he warned, “I know procedures around here fairly well.”

As we know, there have been many life forms and societies before us. They have all run their cycles and gone the way of the dinosaur or in the case of civilization, the way of the roman Empire and so will we!
Everything has a life cycle! As we all know nothing manmade or natural lives or goes on forever. We continue to carelessly speed up the life cycle of the planet.
I received notification from Democratic interests in MA today that they are actively seeking to decrease our contribution to global warming. This may get instituted but it will at best, slow down a process that would occur maybe more slowly but it would happen regardless.
President bush has also sped up the natural life cycle of our society. every great civilization in the History of the planet has come and gone. They have all gone the route of the Roman Empire. So will we no matter what we do we can only slow the process down.
With that said, I would like to see us be the exception to the rule. We must first get Repugs out of office in the fall and get the Presidency back in 2008. Our future, the future of the world as we know it counts on this.
We can consider it a new beginning but we must regain control of our America and begin anew. Otherwise keep in mind the end results of every life cycle and great society!

Lack of Communication, Just one Example: This Is The Biggest Hurdle in the So Called War On Terror!
My response to a Muslim Critic: You are right that Bush attacked Iraq because he said God told him to. He also believed God told him To straighten out the middle east.
I don't know who the hell he was talking to but it wasn't God and he is not doing Gods work.
Your'e right Jesus would never sanction war but neither would Muhammad sanction killing fellow Muslims.
True Christians do not support Bush's perverted form of christianity and the outsourcing of it and his perverted form of democracy around the world.
Neither do true Believers of Islam support the perverted form of Islam the Islamists are portraying in their own land and asround the world.
One reminder! All us Christians are not Republicans.
Some of us are practicing, God loving, Religious tolerant christians and democrats.
Bush has hijacked christianity and our America as he likes to accuse the so called Islamists of doing to Islam.
Unbridled Religiosity is the most dangerous weapon in the world and sadly enough we have it on both sides of the war equation.
Worse is that we have perverted unbridled religiosity in control of what is thought of as the most powerful military in the world.
We need some one with a little feeling for the fragility of our planet and world to step forward, be the better man, and step back from what they are getting ready to cause.
Sadly again, you cannot expect that from Bush or the Islamist so we are in trouble! At least until we get a democrat in office who will put "we the people", our America, and humanity ahead of selfish interest.
We must all get along to move forward succesfully through the 21st century and we must get the world as a whole to realize this.
This was the asinine totally wrong letter that made me comment on the truth. Without communication we have nothing and are in serious trouble!
This was from my post yesterday on kos!
Repent y Republican sinner ,the end is not near
Lots of you people have to realize ,this war in Iraq was religious significant to Christian,lots of Christian thought this war in Iraq ,would usher in the second coming of Christ to lots of Christian in America ,
I have a question for a lots of Christian that thought this,If Jesus said "He who picketh up the sword ,Shall perish by sword,"would this unto itself ,say Jesus never sanction war,and people beating their" Swords into Plowshares"
Why have lots of you Christian become so bloodthirsty for war,Do you think it times for you Christian , Too flee the evil desires of Republicanism,and pursue righteousness,a view by someone you see as godless
** A parting reminder from me:Without communication we have nothing!

Iraq Pullout Is Political For Dems, Iraqi's & Repugs who Cry Political Foul Once Again!
Democrats who have called for U.S. troops to start coming home from Iraq said a proposed withdrawal plan reportedly put forward by the top American general there shows their criticism has been on the mark.
President Bush’s Republican allies in Congress in recent weeks have criticized Democratic proposals for getting out of Iraq, accusing the opposition party of laying plans to “cut and run” from the war.
But The New York Times, quoting unnamed U.S. officials, reported Sunday that Gen. George Casey, the top U.S. commander in Iraq, plans to send home about 7,000 of the 127,000 American troops by September without replacing them. More than 20,000 more would leave by the end of 2007, the Times reported.
Here we have a situation where Democrats, 80 percent of us, voted to say we ought to start reducing our troop presence there — and again, we got pummeled,” Sen. Barbara Boxer, a California Democrat, told CBS. “And now, it turns out, we’re in synch with General Casey.”
Military sources told CNN Thursday that Casey was considering pulling 6,000 to 10,000 troops out of Iraq as part of a reduction, but neither the general nor Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld would confirm that at a news conference the same day.
Meanwhile, Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki included a U.S. withdrawal among the elements of a national reconciliation plan he outlined Sunday, but the plan sets no specific timetable. this would include amnesty for insurgents.(Full story)
Senate Majority Whip Mitch McConnell said lawmakers discussed the situation in Iraq with Casey before votes taken by Congress last week. But he said the point of the debate was that “Congress ought not to be dictating to the generals what the tactics are.”
http://www.cnn.com/2006/POLITICS/06/...
I found it very troubling that the Repugs were in Congress politicizing Iraq accusing Dems of wanting to cut and run when they secretly knew that there was already a discussion with The General in charge to reduce troop levels. I am sick of the 3D politics (deceitful, deceptive, divisive) just to cover for Bush and his inept decisions.
Then we get this response to Iraq PM Maliki’s proposal of amnesty which I have to say I agree with. I also hate to say that I agree with the Repugs on this but I do. This is not a get out of jail free card. Maliki is not proposing emptying the jails of American killers that I am aware of.
http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,...
We cannot tell the Iraqi’s who they can have in their government. we have those in our own government that have harmed Americans in one respect or an other. i agree with the White House in this. whatever Iraqi’s must do to ensure peace and unity then so be it.
The insurgency against Bush has nothing to do with their Bringing Iraq together. THEY WANT US OUT! They wanted us off their soil from the get go. of course pig headed Bush attacked anyway. Of course there was going to be violence. Of course there was going to be those trying to drive out and kill Americans.
At this point getting them together and getting us out of there should be all that matters. once united they can go about eliminating outside insurgency elements. then go about the business of a new independent Iraq
* We must stop playing politics with peoples lives both American and Iraqi. We have the Republicans playing politics accusing Dems of playing politics who are telling the Iraqi’s how to play politics! This has got to stop. They must start somewhere somehow by their choosing and we must get out!

Bush Slams Leak Of Terror Finance He Announced Himself After 9/11! What The??
Bush on Monday sharply condemned the disclosure of a program to secretly monitor the financial transactions of suspected terrorists. “The disclosure of this program is disgraceful,” he said.
“For people to leak that program and for a newspaper to publish it does great harm to the United States of America,” Bush said, jabbing his finger for emphasis. He said the disclosure of the program “makes it harder to win this war on terror.”
The program has been going on since shortly after the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks. It was disclosed last week by the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal and the Los Angeles Times.
Using broad government subpoenas, the program allows U.S. counter terrorism analysts to obtain financial information from a vast database maintained by a company based in Belgium. It routes about 11 million financial transactions daily among 7,800 banks and other financial institutions in 200 countries.
“Congress was briefed and what we did was fully authorized under the law,” Bush said, talking with reporters in the Roosevelt Room after meeting with groups that support U.S. troops in Iraq.
“We’re at war with a bunch of people who want to hurt the United States of America,” the president said. “What we were doing was the right thing.”
“The American people expect this government to protect our constitutional liberties and at the same time make sure we understand what the terrorists are trying to do,” Bush said. He said that to figure out what terrorists plan to do, “You try to follow their money. And that’s exactly what we’re doing and the fact that a newspaper disclosed it makes it harder to win this war on terror.”
Vice President Dick Cheney, in a speech Monday at Grand Island, Neb., said, “Some of the press, particularly The New York Times, have made the job of defending against further terrorist attacks more difficult by insisting on publishing detailed information about vital national security programs.”
http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/articl...
I could be wrong but hasn’t Bush said he would stop at nothing to track all Al Qaeda and terrorist financing? I thought he said he would stop at nothing to track their financing and banking records right from the get go?
In fact the program has been going on since right after 9/11 as we expected would be the case. So why the feigned outrage? i suggest he is again only looking ror political gain for him and the Repugs.

Health Care Refunds for treated Illegals ! One Counties Idea Whose Time has Come!
Illegal aliens cross America's borders medically unexamined. We shrug. We do not know what Illegal Aliens carry in their backpacks. We do not know what they carry in their bodies.
Long ago we knew what legal immigrants brought with them. When my grandpa came to America, he kissed the ground of New York's Ellis Island, then he stripped naked and coughed hard. Every legal immigrant before 1924 was examined for infectious diseases upon arrival and tested for tuberculosis. Anyone infected was shipped back to the old country. That was powerful incentive for each newcomer to make heroic efforts to appear healthy.
Today, legal immigrants must demonstrate that they are free of communicable diseases and drug addiction to qualify for lawful permanent residency green cards.
But Illegal Aliens stop at no medical checkpoint. Whoever walks through our foolishly open Golden Door comes in healthy or sick. If a border patrol sentry catches a healthy Illegal Alien he might be sent back home immediately. However, if we catch and detain a sick Illegal Alien, who after examination by physicians in a detention center proves to have a serious disease, we keep him!
Foolish compassion makes us fear that his home country has neither adequate medical resources nor modern wonder drugs. So we release sick Illegal Aliens to the American streets, to infect others if their diseases are contagious, or we place them in our Medicaid program where we pay for their expensive treatments.
Foolish medical generosity encourages clever Illegal Aliens to exploit free medical care. Horrendous diseases that long ago America had conquered are resurging. Horrific diseases common in Third World poverty and medical ignorance suddenly are appearing in American emergency rooms and medical offices.
Along with the visible invasion of Illegal Aliens across our borders is an invisible invasion of deadly diseases. with the care that EMTALA, the Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor Act, provides, it has been noticed that there is a resurgence of horrendous diseases that long ago America had
conquered are resurging.
Horrific diseases common in Third World poverty and medical ignorance suddenly are appearing in American emergency rooms and medical offices. Along with the visible invasion of Illegal Aliens across our borders is an invisible invasion of deadly diseases
Many illegals who skulk across our borders have tuberculosis (TB). That disease had disappeared from America.TB's swift, deadly return now is lethal for about 60% of those infected. The culprit is the new Multi-Drug Resistant Tuberculosis (MDR-TB) Until recently MDR-TB was endemic to Mexico.
MDR-TB takes 24 months with many expensive drugs with toxic side effects (that cost around $250,000). Each Illegal Alien with MDR-TB coughs and infects numerous people who will not show symptoms immediately. Latent disease explodes later, like a time bomb. this TB strain has since 2002 gone up 17% in Virginia, skyrocketed 188% in Washington D.C., and up 81% in Queens, NY etc.
It has been traced to illegal aliens from Mexico, Philippines, Viet Nam, and other South American countries. This affects schoolteachers, children, law enforcement etc, who are sometimes purposely infected by illegals who cough in their faces. Recently TB erupted in Portland, ME and Del Ray Beach, FL
This is just the beginning and only one once eradicated disease. Chagas disease a horrible disease from Latin America infects 15 million per year there and kills 50,000. This is a horrible death, please look at the link.
Leprosy once almost non existent in America in now is now endemic to northeastern states.
There are now leprosy clinics in New York City. Illegal Aliens and other immigrants brought leprosy from India, Brazil, the Caribbean, and Mexico.
Dengue fever is being brought in by illegals from Ecuador, Peru, Viet Nam, Thailand, Bangladesh, Malaysia, and Mexico.
Once eradicated Polio, is back in America brought in the bodies of illegals.
Hepatitis A, B, and C are resurging. deadly Marburg disease and hemorrhagic Ebola are just two more.
Just one infected person who could walk through the Golden Door of our Hospital to the World could be a suicide bomber with incendiaries in his arteries, veins, or capillaries".
http://www.newswithviews.com/...
* Where is the concern? I have not heard this even mentioned by anyone on either side of the debate or by any politicians. Why? The issue and the answer is political judgment not medical judgment.
http://anaverageamericanpatriot.blogspot.com/...
Then we finally hear a good answer to this problem with a couple of troubling side thoughts. I don't like the idea that this county is targeting Mexicans when illegals come from the whole of South America and the rest of the world.
They should all be billed! however, the other thing that bothers me is that we will never collect regardless. It seems like the right thing to do so as in every other instance today, the right thing will not get done but whoever's self interest prevails, will hold precedent.

The true Bush Doctrine Uncovered! And It Isn't His!
What strikes us as the Presidents ignorance of society, its classes and the world is not that at all. All the realities of what he is doing to us and the world are going to hit you right in the face if it hasn’t yet. It will all make absolute and total sense. One word damn it right under our noses the whole time too. What is worse is that it is described all too starkly right in our dictionaries. Hold on here it is:
NIHILISM. *2 Ethics-rejection of all distinctions in moral value, constituting a willingness to refute all previous moral theories. *3-The belief that destruction of existing Political or social institutions is necessary to ensure future improvement.
Sound Familiar? Please Read On! It Gets worse as you are feeling, here and around the world!
If that doesn’t shake you nothing will? The other four versions of this word especially the two action versions which you all know will scare the hell out of you when you realize what they are. This is fact and it is doctrine, it is dictionaried, and it is indeed fact. We as the lower classes better move fast. The doctrine can be found in the dictionary but here it is!
It is used only when replacing existing societal, government, and world order.
You look at the facts as to what President Bush is doing both home, in the Middle East, and around the world. Think about all he has done and this should all be put into perspective now that you have seen the doctrine broken down. Of course, as you know it is all worthless because he will only smirk, laugh it off as biased innuendo, continue with his plan, and do exactly what he wants.
It was first used by mid 19th Century Russians in order to topple one form of order and replace it with their new order. President Bush as we can all attest to is well on his way.
First he has to finish breaking down existing societies and Government rule. As you all are experiencing his new policies every day you know that in fact he is well under way. He is almost complete in his bringing down of the legal lower classes and the Democratic Party. Hopefully this will wake up the country. We cannot allow him to emplace his idea of a society and a Government.
In case any one has been sleeping we are all aware how good his plan is for the illegal immigrant. He needs them to work and feed his idea for society. He needs them in order to fully implement his plan for our country. He continues the illusion of concern for the average American and illegal immigrants. As many of you know, he is concerned about the illegal immigrants not for them but for him. He knows he needs them to drive his new societal order.
His plan for society is horrible for the lower classes as you are all experiencing first hand. You see first hand how every single day he continues to tighten the noose around the lower classes and further the cause of the elite. He only needs the lower classes for their taxes. They are needed to fund his illegal immigrants in order to complete his plan. The illegal immigrants are necessary in order for him to fully implement his plan, his Governmental system, and have it work according to his plan.
It all makes sense now that you hear the unbiased truth doesn’t it? He needs the taxes of the lower classes in order to fund his social security program for the elite. He needs the lower classes in order to fund all the negative results of taking care of the rich and you are just seeing the beginning of it. He is letting the elite corporations and companies off the hook for your promised retirement benefits. Once again you the lower classes are going to be left footing the bill with your taxes. The tax funded Federal systems can not take much more before they are overburdened to the point of failure.
This too is necessary for his planned society to be implemented. Planned obsolescence, you have to wonder what if anything he plans on replacing it. You are seeing that it will be left up to you and you are being warned as you know it is ultimately his idea to let corporations off the hook for your healthcare and would like to make you responsible for that to. The wealthy and the Christian Right Republicans as you are seeing will be the only benefactors of his entire plan for society.
Of course when this is mentioned to him he will deny everything, laugh it off, say it is merely speculation, and continue with his plan. It is indeed sadly enough for us in the trenches of society, undeniable fact. He falsely again makes you think the rich are going to be paying their share of his proposals. It is again an illusion. You are in fact being hood winked and BUSHWACKED. He is in fact giving the wealthy back hundreds of billions of their so called contribution and still insists on making this permanent while he continues to cut Medicaid and Federal public education funds which he calls unfunded liabilities to pay for this and he corruptive ineptitude.. He very wisely chooses to let you forget about this little fact. His sliding benefits proposal for his elitist social security program is going to slide all the way through the middle classes. All the while he is touting the wealthy’s contribution to his plans he is giving them back much of their so called contribution.
*Unbelievably what the President is doing to our country and what is happening in every situation around the world today can be summed up in one word. This is unbelievable. You have to look this up in my life long Bible, the dictionary if you have any question. Personally I have never heard this word in the first three forms of it. However the fourth is scarily familiar to the whole world. It is exactly where we are headed if we do not smarten up real quick. Please check the link and read on.

NIHILISM. *2 Ethics-rejection of all distinctions in moral value, constituting a willingness to refute all previous moral theories. *3-The belief that destruction of existing Political or social institutions is necessary to ensure future improvement.
Sound Familiar? Please Read On! It Gets worse as you are feeling, here and around the world!
If that doesn’t shake you nothing will? The other four versions of this word especially the two action versions which you all know will scare the hell out of you when you realize what they are. This is fact and it is doctrine, it is dictionaried, and it is indeed fact. We as the lower classes better move fast. The doctrine can be found in the dictionary but here it is!
It is used only when replacing existing societal, government, and world order.
You look at the facts as to what President Bush is doing both home, in the Middle East, and around the world. Think about all he has done and this should all be put into perspective now that you have seen the doctrine broken down. Of course, as you know it is all worthless because he will only smirk, laugh it off as biased innuendo, continue with his plan, and do exactly what he wants.
It was first used by mid 19th Century Russians in order to topple one form of order and replace it with their new order. President Bush as we can all attest to is well on his way.
First he has to finish breaking down existing societies and Government rule. As you all are experiencing his new policies every day you know that in fact he is well under way. He is almost complete in his bringing down of the legal lower classes and the Democratic Party. Hopefully this will wake up the country. We cannot allow him to emplace his idea of a society and a Government.
In case any one has been sleeping we are all aware how good his plan is for the illegal immigrant. He needs them to work and feed his idea for society. He needs them in order to fully implement his plan for our country. He continues the illusion of concern for the average American and illegal immigrants. As many of you know, he is concerned about the illegal immigrants not for them but for him. He knows he needs them to drive his new societal order.
His plan for society is horrible for the lower classes as you are all experiencing first hand. You see first hand how every single day he continues to tighten the noose around the lower classes and further the cause of the elite. He only needs the lower classes for their taxes. They are needed to fund his illegal immigrants in order to complete his plan. The illegal immigrants are necessary in order for him to fully implement his plan, his Governmental system, and have it work according to his plan.
It all makes sense now that you hear the unbiased truth doesn’t it? He needs the taxes of the lower classes in order to fund his social security program for the elite. He needs the lower classes in order to fund all the negative results of taking care of the rich and you are just seeing the beginning of it. He is letting the elite corporations and companies off the hook for your promised retirement benefits. Once again you the lower classes are going to be left footing the bill with your taxes. The tax funded Federal systems can not take much more before they are overburdened to the point of failure.
This too is necessary for his planned society to be implemented. Planned obsolescence, you have to wonder what if anything he plans on replacing it. You are seeing that it will be left up to you and you are being warned as you know it is ultimately his idea to let corporations off the hook for your healthcare and would like to make you responsible for that to. The wealthy and the Christian Right Republicans as you are seeing will be the only benefactors of his entire plan for society.
Of course when this is mentioned to him he will deny everything, laugh it off, say it is merely speculation, and continue with his plan. It is indeed sadly enough for us in the trenches of society, undeniable fact. He falsely again makes you think the rich are going to be paying their share of his proposals. It is again an illusion. You are in fact being hood winked and BUSHWACKED. He is in fact giving the wealthy back hundreds of billions of their so called contribution and still insists on making this permanent while he continues to cut Medicaid and Federal public education funds which he calls unfunded liabilities to pay for this and he corruptive ineptitude.. He very wisely chooses to let you forget about this little fact. His sliding benefits proposal for his elitist social security program is going to slide all the way through the middle classes. All the while he is touting the wealthy’s contribution to his plans he is giving them back much of their so called contribution.

This Doesn't happen in A Democracy Says Bush: So What Have We Become?
As I’m writing this across the local Boston news comes the fact that four people were shot and wounded in Brockton. Just coming in was the fact that in Peabody there was three killed in a murder suicide.
I was going to say that the news this morning was that someone in Roxbury impaled a miniature Doberman up on a fence killing him. http://cbs4boston.com/topstories/local_story_174115911.html
I woke up this morning to the news that Mayor Menino turned down Romneys offer to put the State police on the streets to patrol because of increasing violence. He turned the offer down but this is another bad sign of our increasing societal breakdown.
http://cbs4boston.com/local/local_story_174074713.html I just heard Menino changed his mind due to a public outcry and he will accept help from the State Police!
In New Orleans we have National Guard troops patrolling the streets of New Orleans.
So, far in 2006, with 54 murders, the City of New Orleans has less than half the murder rate of last year. However, it is on the steady increase and the dreams of some that post-Katrina New Orleans would be practically crime free have been dashed.
The recent killings of five people in central city awakened everyone in the area about the seriousness of this problem. It was followed by the calling of 300 National Guard troops and 60 State Police officers. The hope and prayer of the community is that the National Guard will be able to relieve the NOPD to concentrate on high crime areas.
Crime is increasing in all parts of New Orleans, including formerly peaceful neighborhoods like Algiers. However, it is not just confined to New Orleans, it is returning to the entire area. It is up in Jefferson and St. Tammany Parish, where the Mayor of Madisonville was brutally beaten yesterday outside of his restaurant.

Then today we also hear that 7 would be terrorists were arrested in Florida with 5 of them being home grown Americans. They wanted to kill as many American “devils” as possible and wanted to take down Chicago’s Sears tower. apparently they had not been able to get any of the explosives and other things they needed before apprehended.

We have all heard many times, Bush say things like this do not happen in freedom loving Democracies. This doesn’t happen in peace loving societies.
I must preface my next question with the fact that I began calling for a societal and country wide breakdown in 1970. I just did not expect to have it ramped up by our own president here and around the world.
Now, knowing that Bush says these things do not happen in Democracies. Just what have we become anyway?
