By swift boating McCain, General Clark learned it works only when undermining Democrats.

Ironically Bush has made it easier for Obama to execute his timetable.

Why would Hillary want to give up the powerful influence of New York State for the negative influence of a nation?

Cap & Trade should be called what it is: Copout & Gain.

The polls that show there’s still a sizable share of voters who think Obama is Muslim is just another creative excuse not to vote for a black President.

Hillary for VP

 

Those who wish unhesitatingly for Hillary as VP should reconsider. Beyond her being simply [to no avail] a nagging gadfly to Obama, she would preëmpt Michelle as First Lady, and worse, be lamed if Obama lost.

Moreover, had Carter chosen Ted, Massachusetts would have lost a powerful legislative voice in the Senate as New York would lose Hillary’s.]]>http://stevendedalus.joeuser.com/article/318931http://stevendedalus.joeuser.com/article/318931Fri, 25 Jul 2008 14:31:05 -04002008-07-25T18:31:05stevendedalushttp://stevendedalus.joeuser.com/article/318930
To the disappointment of the Obamacans, it is nevertheless just as well Barack has turned the page to Hillary’s southpaw centrism—and Bill’s for that matter. For had Obama continued the rhetoric in pandering to the non-pragmatic progressives, he would end up in the trash bin of McGovernites.

The country conceivably is ready for change and a Black American not of the color of Wright and Jackson, it is definitely not prepared for the color of Move-on Quixotism.

Biofuels: A Hoax

 

I’m guilty of thinking alternative fuels as a panacea until I realized that many of them require disproportionately more energy to produce. In the case of biofuel it not only consumes more energy but frighteningly jeopardizes food abundance, ending in price gouging. Plus the increased use of fertilizers draining off into the Gulf creating health hazards and depleting fish life.

With the current controversy over loudmouths from the pulpit  like Reverends Hagee and Wright spewing hatred for government and fellow man, is there any wonder that the Founding Fathers erected the separation wall between church and state? For the Fathers knew the power of pulpit over lording ignorant flock to do God’s bidding in consonance with the passion of preachers bereft of reason and that the few intelligent among members would shrug it off without public in...]]>http://stevendedalus.joeuser.com/article/305115http://stevendedalus.joeuser.com/article/305115Fri, 25 Jul 2008 14:31:05 -04002008-07-25T18:31:05stevendedalushttp://stevendedalus.joeuser.com/article/304697
Pundits again are applauding Obama; this time over his speech on race. In so doing, however, they are inserting another bias by qualifying that Obama’s thoughtful oratory may only reach understanding with the suburban educated class already claimed to belong to Obama and that the blue collar, uneducated “knuckleheads” of Hillary supporters will not be capable of absorbing its “nuances.”

However, these nuances clearly were meant to safeguard his virtuall...]]>http://stevendedalus.joeuser.com/article/304697http://stevendedalus.joeuser.com/article/304697Fri, 25 Jul 2008 14:31:05 -04002008-07-25T18:31:05stevendedalushttp://stevendedalus.joeuser.com/article/304056http://stevendedalus.joeuser.com/article/304056http://stevendedalus.joeuser.com/article/304056Fri, 25 Jul 2008 14:31:05 -04002008-07-25T18:31:05stevendedalushttp://stevendedalus.joeuser.com/article/300981http://stevendedalus.joeuser.com/article/300981http://stevendedalus.joeuser.com/article/300981Fri, 25 Jul 2008 14:31:05 -04002008-07-25T18:31:05stevendedalushttp://stevendedalus.joeuser.com/article/300975

As an FDR democrat I’m pleasantly surprised to tip my cap to Senator Grassley in his attempt to investigate the materialistic excesses of some rock star televangelists who allegedly violate federal tax laws by accepting unreasonable personal gifts from members and church proceeds, such as Rolls-Royces, jewelry, vacation homes, and private jets. The senator wants to make sure churchgoers aren’t getting ripped off.

Defending Secularism

Lisa Miller’s “defense of secularism” is a courageous piece. There has been too much of made pf religion, particularly in Newsweek that’s beginning to look like an encyclopedia of the world’s religions. Miller, in zeroing in on the word secularism, sums up the idiocy of undue emphasis on faiths incessantly conjuring another form of class warfare—separatists vs. modern churchgoers.

In my heyday a secularist was one who belie...]]>http://stevendedalus.joeuser.com/article/300755http://stevendedalus.joeuser.com/article/300755Fri, 25 Jul 2008 14:31:05 -04002008-07-25T18:31:05
