John Tantillo is, I think, the only one that gets it right in his article on FOX News.com - “Palin 1, Pundits 0”.  The political commentators wouldn’t recognize morality or convictions if it hit them in the face.  She is resigning for the right reasons instead of the political reasons.  We need a few more public figures like this.

I had a brief conversation today with someone I work with whose husband and mother are ministers.  It got me thinking about a couple of things.

I believe that the Bible is the TRUE word of God.  Yes there are several translations, but in general, from the ones I have read from, they are mostly in agreement and the differences are not significant (remember I said in general).  Se here are a couple of questions:

If you don’t believe in the literal reading of the Bible, can you truly believe in God?  Are you saying you don’t believe it is God’s word?  Are you just trying to justify your own spin on things?  If you don’t believe God made the world in seven days as the Bible states, why?  Is it because you don’t think it is possible?  Or is it because you believe the evolutionist theories?  Remember, these are theories only and NOT fact.  And I would argue, that there is plenty of evidence to refute the theories.  I am not a great scholar who knows all of the references to quote for this argument, but...

A friend of ours is a great photographer and took some pictures of our 4 1/2 month old earlier this week.  She did a GREAT job.  Check them out.

Most of my sites use DNN including this one.  I have been swamped at work and home and haven’t been logging on much lately so haven’t been posting.  I use Live Writer at work for my internal status updates blog on our SharePoint, and wanted to see if I could use it for DNN.  A quick search and sure enough, it will work.  This is my first attempt at a post with Live Writer.  If it works, maybe I will actually post more often.

Haven't had much time to do anything other than read a few articles and my email.  Here are a couple more links that I thought were good reading in regards to the financial crap that is going on.

Can't beleive it, but there was actually something worthwhile on CNN: http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/09/29/miron.bailout/index.html?iref=mpstoryview

This one is very good and has a LOT of info: http://www.reason.com/news/show/129158.html

Now onto McCain.  I get the email blasts from the McCain campaign and on Tuesday (9/30), I got one with the subject of "It's time for action" about the "Bail Out" and why it is so "Necessary".  I tend to dissagree and so even though I seriously doubt that it will be read, I hit the reply button and typed the following and sent it off. I support you because you had the forsight to choose a conservative running mate.  Now have have the courage to let the free market work like it is supposed to.  DO NOT SUPPORT a bail out of ANY nature!!!! FreddieMac and...

 

 

 

Here is a good piece in the Wall Street Journal that highlights some issues.

Blame Fannie Mae and Congress For the Credit Mess

I have lots of opinions on the financial mess that the US is in right now, but unfortunately don't have enough time to put them in words.  Have too much programming to do.  In the mean time, here is an article that highlights some specific issues.

How the Democrats Created the Financial Crisis: Kevin Hassett

 

Read this article.  Especially the second paragraph.  This is amazing.  These senators should be voted out of the senate NOW!!

This is outragous and has harmed the US immeserably!

WOW! Two posts in a night...Kind of fun.  Never done this before but here is an interview that has some excellent comments regarding Gov. Palen made by Rep. Heather Wilson of NM.

A lot of the taking heads have been touting the move by McCain to select Sarah Palin as his running mate as a move to get women voters.  The one thing they are either missing or glossing over is that she was the BEST choice for McCain to rally the conservative base.  Palin is a true down to earth conservative who is from outside the beltway and actually bets me excited about the election now.

Before the pick, I was planning on voting for McCain, primarily against Obama and not necessarily for McCain.  This pick has turned my vote from a negative vote to a possative.  Now I am excited to vote for McCain/Palin!  I think this choice will move the conservative base of the Republican Party to action.  Whereas before there was a lot of complacency.

GO McCAIN/PALIN!!!
