Sicko bombo's

I was checking the box office results for the last week shows. Seems that Michael Moore's "Sicko," after 4 weeks, has grossed a whopping total of $15 million dollars. Simply put, that's pathetic. It makes me happy though. It's nice to know that America sees right through this bully socialist's propaganda to not even bother seeing his film.

Way to go America!

Democrats = Cult?

In case you haven't heard, tonight the democratic lead senate has decided to pull an all-nighter debating the idea of withdrawing troops early from Iraq. As a person with religious interests, I have done a little studying in the background of cults and techniques they use to recruit members. One of those techniques is sleep deprivation. It works because you get tried and your problem solving skills go out the window.

The parallels are staggering.

Bush's Legacy

I was getting my hair cut the other day, and my barber asked me "How do you think history will portray President Bush?" In other words, what's Bush's legacy. This honestly got me thinking. Looking at current pissing contest between congress and the president over the Iraq war, it certain that the ordeal in Washington will make better history than the war all together, so that's out. His immigration bill rightly failed.

After a while, I started to think that he would fade in with the rest of the presidents that just held the office without ever really accomplishing anything. But than it came to me. Look at our economy. Look at our unemployment numbers. Look at the stock market. Look at the record low inflation (YES! we have a booming economy with low inflation. Many economists didn't think that was possible). If there is anything that I would look back on and thank President Bush for it is his tax cuts that launched our economy to the point it is at today. The deficit is expected to be 250 billion when he leaves office.

The problem is that the Dems are already talking about repealing the tax cuts to fund their socialist programs. Completely overlooking the fact that the tax cuts have brought in record amounts of tax revenue. Kills me how dumb politicians can be sometimes.

John Edwards Poverty Tour!!

If you haven't heard, the trial lawyer, turned politician has decided to make a tour traveling around the country visiting those Americans who are in "poverty." Now, I'm going to go into the history on how this sleaze of a lawyer made his millions off countless malpractice suits, I really don't think that is necessary. Let's just talk about poverty in America.

Pure and simple: There isn't any poverty in America. None! If I was given the choice of being poor in any country on this planet, it would be this on. This is why:

#Forty-six percent of all poor households actually own their own homes. The average home owned by persons classified as poor by the Census Bureau is a three-bedroom house with one-and-a-half baths, a garage, and a porch or patio.

# Seventy-six percent of poor households have air conditioning. By contrast, 30 years ago, only 36 percent of the entire U.S. population enjoyed air conditioning.

# Only 6 percent of poor households are overcrowded. More than two-thirds have more than two rooms per person.

# The average poor American has more living space than the average individual living in Paris, London, Vienna, Athens, and other cities throughout Europe. (These comparisons are to the average citizens in foreign countries, not to those classified as poor.)

# Nearly three-quarters of poor households own a car; 30 percent own two or more cars.

# Ninety-seven percent of poor households have a color television; over half own two or more color televisions.

# Seventy-eight percent have a VCR or DVD player; 62 percent have cable or satellite TV reception.

# Seventy-three percent own microwave ovens, more than half have a stereo, and a third have an automatic dishwasher.

Does that sound like poverty? If Edwards really cared about poverty, he wouldn't be touring the United States of America. He would be in Africa or South America; places where there is REAL poverty.

But maybe he needs more help spotting poverty. Let me help. This is the type of poverty Edwards is hanging around. This is real poverty. The difference? About 250 pounds.

Where I've been.

I know I haven't been posting on here very often lately. Been kind of busy on my end. Summer school is keeping me very busy, but with it coming to a close, I will be coming back full force. Get ready!
