Back in the Saddle
I've been away from writing for a long time. I'll be getting back soon. I think I'll probably throw in some video blogs as well. I'm considering having days when I release certain things, deadlines, etc. Maybe book review Friday, politics Monday, Religion Wednesday or something like that. Anyhow, have a great day. If anyone has any ideas on how to advertise properly, not just using google's adsense, please leave a comment because I'd like to advertise, but I don't like google's random ads.

Quran burning
Anderson Cooper takes an interesting position here. Is this his position on the release of classified documents? Is this his position on Guantanamo Bay? The families of 2800 Americans killed due to the attacks by Radical Muslims are overwhelmingly against the "Ground Zero" Mosque, yet the MSM backs that up as a first amendment right. Cooper's assertion that if one American soldier is killed by this Quran burning it is somehow immoral. 2800 Americans were killed in the WTC attacks, but the mosque there is moral? Both the mosque and the Quran burnings are protected by the first amendment and when journalists release classified information, they hide behind the first amendment as well. Are journalists somehow morally superior to churches? If so, then according to the actions (or inactions) of the media is Islam > Media > Christianity? If someone could explain this I'd love to hear it.
Personally, I think it's not a good idea for Terry Jones' Church to burn Qurans. I also think it's a bad idea for the Ground Zero Mosque to be built at a location where landing gear fell. However, it is reprehensible that a Media Outlet which blasts classified information all over the world would be upset that a church exercising its first amendment rights could be responsible for the death of American Soldiers when CNN has blood on its hands. Wash the blood off of your hands CNN. The finger you're pointing at Terry Jones is stained red.

Double-Dip Recession
I keep hearing about this "Double-Dip Recession." Here are my thoughts on it. If there is actual growth going on in America right now, we will go back into another recession starting in January. I don't believe the "growth" we have seen over the last few months is so much true growth as much as the wealthy and corporations trying to spend money now before oppressive taxes return next year. Couple that with an economy that has lost millions of jobs over the past two years, a stock market that was cut by 40% (I'll admit that the stock market was probably a little overinflated before the crash) and runaway spending from an Administration and Congress that was so infuriated by the last Administration's spending spree.
The Democrats who control the White House and Congress are so worried about what George Bush did, that they are not leading. The reason why many moderates and independents voted for President Obama is that they saw someone whom they believed to be a leader. They were wrong. President Obama has failed to lead our nation in anything except apologizing for our former greatness.
If President Obama truly wants to help Americans, here is what he'll do. Extend the Bush tax cuts for ten more years. If he does this alone, it will bolster the economy because corporations and the wealthy will feel that they can safely invest their money without being raped by the IRS. This will lead to job growth on it's own. If he TRULY wants to bring us out of this recession (or depression) he will add more cuts in addition to those cuts and couple that with a real commitment to reducing Federal spending. Here's a tip; cutting Federal spending does not mean cutting the military, police or firefighters. It does mean not funding abortion in foreign countries and funding things like pickle research and other immoral and wasteful spending.
He also needs to secure the border. Mr. President, the overwhelming majority of Americans, and a significant number of Hispanics, like me, stand with Arizona in its attempt to enforce Federal Immigration Law. Arizona is trying to protect its citizens, and since you won't do your job, Jan Brewer has to do it for you.
I'll close with this. Support our troops. Not with words, but with action. End the insane rules of engagement. Allow our military to use its full might to quickly end the wars and bring our troops home victorious. Neither President Bush nor yourself have had the guts to fight the wars the way we should be fighting them. If you change that, you'll earn the respect of the troops and the American people.
There are many more things you SHOULD do, but if you did these, America would make a turn for the better and the people would love you. But you're too much of an ideologue for that aren't you? Please Mr. President, stop reacting and lead.
