My Way News - Sen. Kennedy Backing Obama for President

My Way News - Sen. Kennedy Backing Obama for President: "WASHINGTON (AP) - Two generations of Kennedys - Massachusetts Sen. Edward Kennedy and his son, Rep. Patrick Kennedy of Rhode Island - are endorsing fellow Democrat Barack Obama for president." I was just saying last week that this was a turf war between the Clintons and Kennedy's. I'd bet on the Kennedy's (if I was a betting man). Last year remember that Ted Kennedy came out strong for Obama. It was funny because he kept calling him Osama.

The Founders Explain Conservatism

MarkLevinShow.com: "When the people find that they can vote themselves money, that will herald the end of the republic. -- Benjamin Franklin" Exactly. Well said Mr. Franklin.

My Way News - Senate Pressured to OK Stimulus Deal

My Way News - Senate Pressured to OK Stimulus Deal: "The White House is pressing for quick action and leaders in the House fear that if the Senate attempts to rework the legislation the deal could come apart." This sounds McCainish.... (remember the amnesty bill, he said the same thing).

My Way News - Senate Pressured to OK Stimulus Deal

My Way News - Senate Pressured to OK Stimulus Deal: "WASHINGTON (AP) - A much-anticipated deal between the White House and once-warring House leaders to speed tax rebate checks to workers starting in May has the Senate in a bind over whether to try to add to the measure." We are having some of the worst inflation in years (4.1% for 2007). The housing market (or credit in general) is problematic for 5-6% of that area, and that's because people have been receiving loans that they couldn't afford. So, to "fix" this we are going to pump in $150 billion (I'm sure that will go up another $50 billion yet) and dramatically cut interest rates. By the way, where does that $150 billion come from? Do you think they cut 1 dime from anything to make up for it? This is not hard to understand. When you have inflation the worst thing you can do is pump more money into the economy. It's fake money. It devalues our currency, which is also suffering from worldwide devaluation for several years. It will only cause more inflation. Cutting interest rates and sending out tax rebates pumps more money into the economy, thus devaluing the currency more, thus making us pay more for everything. Conservatism is on life support.

My Way News - China Shuts Down Pornographic Web Sites

My Way News - China Shuts Down Pornographic Web Sites: "BEIJING (AP) - China shut down 44,000 Web sites and arrested 868 people for Internet pornography last year, state media said Wednesday." A communist country can do this. It seems innocuous, even beneficial, but it's government removing liberty from the people. This is not possible in this country, because we believe in liberty. When there is a close debate on whether it is good or bad, or neutral, we side on the side of liberty. I'm against pornography, but I'm also for as much liberty and freedom as possible. I am concerned that if the government started shutting down porn, for the good of children, then they have a precedent to shut down other things, such as a Christian Sunday School class. I'm afraid many Americans get pulled into populist themes that "save the children" and give up liberties that are very difficult and painful to get back. This is why I can't support Mike Huckabee for President.

My Way News - Youth Vs. Adults in Gadget Wars

My Way News - Youth Vs. Adults in Gadget Wars: "...young people are feeling uncomfortable about their elders encroaching on what many young adults and teens consider their technological turf." That's a dumb statement. Completely subjective and unsupported. Agenda reporters...just report, opinions belong in the editorial section.

My Way News - Obama Fights Back Against Bill Clinton

My Way News - Obama Fights Back Against Bill Clinton: "The Rev. Calvin Butts, a supporter of the former first lady, introduced her at a service in the Abyssinian Baptist Church as someone who 'has been our friend' before officially endorsing her. As dozens of Obama supporters shouted 'Harlem for Obama,' Clinton's supporters tried to drown them out by shouting 'Hil-la-ry!'" This is what I love to read.

My Way News - Bush Favors Tax Breaks in Stimulus Plan

My Way News - Bush Favors Tax Breaks in Stimulus Plan Pelosi wants over $100 Billion! They're talking about giving more welfare to people on food stamps, so another re-distribution of wealth. Great. Like we can afford that too! And then the Dow closes down 300 pts on this news. Oh, and forget about making the tax cuts permanent! The Baby Boomers are just now beginning to retire and will be demanding Social Security like no other group before. Now we are going to "stimulate" the economy by giving billions (which comes from where?) to poor people. Poor people create how many jobs?
