1. Drive 1,700 miles round trip
2. Hang out with the Fam at Silver Dollar City
3. Ride Roller Coasters
4. Crack Windshield in Car

Yep!

My new car (55,000 miles), decides it cannot strike at my finances mechanically, it being so new and all. So it went and found probably the only rock flying around on the Interstate and ran right into it.

Little rock at 70 mph equals cracked windshield.

I didn’t actually get a picture of it after it spread, but I did get initial pics:

That cost me $250.00 to get the windshield replaced.

Fun times!

Let me break this down for you, my dear readers.

Problem: Many of the American people were stupid and went and got loans they couldn’t pay for housing they couldn’t afford.

Problem: Lenders were stupid and gave loans to people that couldn’t afford them.

$700 billion bail out DOES NOT EQUAL SOLUTION!!!!!!!

If I were to loan out money to someone who could not pay me back should the government come in and bail me out? If they did I would be thinking, hey, this worked out okay I’ll just do this again.

So basically the idea is to take the American people’s tax money and buy bad mortgages from stupid lenders so that stupid people can stay in the housing they can’t afford.

Yep, I think that about sums it up.

How do I know? Because our “Republican” president is one of the front runners on this insane $700 billion bailout, which essentially completely undermines capitalism and a free market society.

President Bush, saying he decided to “act, and act boldly,” has sent a request to Congress for up to $700 billion to let the federal government to buy up bad mortgages in a move to stem a widespread economic meltdown.

Bush pledged Saturday to work with Congress to quickly pass the rescue package. And he deflected conservative criticism that the government is taking an overbearing approach to stabilizing the financial markets.

“My first instinct was to let the market work,” Bush said. But after being briefed by experts on the scope of the problem, he said he realized a “robust and strong” bailout was needed.

“It is a big package because it was a big problem,” Bush said. “The risk of doing nothing far outweighed the risk of the package.”

UN-BELIEV-ABLE!!!

In the circles in which I run the political arena is a most sticky place… I’ve wanted to post so much more on this issue but two things have kept me from doing so.

1. Time, I got no time


2. Even some of my closest friends are divided on this issue

Article: John McCain and Judicial Selections

Now I sit back and wait for the backlash

It amazes me how proponents of abortion want to trumpet the word “choice” but when it comes down to it they don’t really consider it a choice. If you have a down syndrom baby for instance, you should abort it, no choice about it!

CLICK HERE, to see why I’m fired up about it!

As I was sitting in the passenger seat today traveling through Colorado, I took the time to read a post on my iPhone and want to share it with my readers (all 2 of them). But firstly, I few notes on this post…

While not ready to draw firm conclusions on McCain’s choice, I believe Pastor Wilson has some great food for thought.

I will also note that I do side with, to *some* extent, what I will term here as “choosing the lesser of two evils” because slowing down the car speeding toward the ravine does give us time to get true Bible believers who are interested in building the Kingdom “behind the wheel” to continue the metaphor. But again, only to some extent. And I tend to agree with Pastor Wilson regarding Roe v Wade being a large determining factor.

And lastly, I do know and understand that we must be working on a local level, but to the extent that we care about National politics… Here you go.
