One of the ideas George Washington Carver came up with at Tuskegee was the idea of rotating crops. The reason behind this was that by rotating crops you rejuvenate the nutrient in the soil. there by allowing more food to be grown. I see this as a resolution of ( what is in my opinion) one of the reasons for the famines in Africa and elsewhere in the developing world. The other idea Carver came up with is plowing and harvesting in circles and not straight lines. By doing this you reduce the loss of soil and nutrients. In closing the biggest problem to implementing these ideas is that there will be those farmers who will be resistant to these ideas. In the end, those who use these ideas will have better long term farming than those are farming the way their ancestors did. Only by implementing the ideas mentioned here and in part 1, will we be able to eliminate famines and curtail world hunger.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6166481324096247560-55988735676371945?l=politicalcommonsmarts.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://politicalcommonsmarts.blogspot.com/feeds/55988735676371945/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6166481324096247560&amp;postID=55988735676371945' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6166481324096247560/posts/default/55988735676371945'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6166481324096247560/posts/default/55988735676371945'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://politicalcommonsmarts.blogspot.com/2011/05/eliminating-hunger-part-2-ideas-from.html' title='Eliminating hunger part 2 ( Ideas From Tuskegee)'/><author><name>Terry Ray Williams</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02587886902299747851</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6166481324096247560.post-6499140097100973649</id><published>2010-12-26T23:24:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2010-12-26T23:28:25.874-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Eliminating Hunger part 1 ( No Subsidies for E-85 )</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://www.zimbio.com/member/terryfordist75"&gt; &lt;img alt="My Zimbio" border="0" src="http://www.zimbio.com/images/badges/badgeBlue.png?u=terryfordist75" title="My Zimbio" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.zimbio.com/" style="color: #244366; display: block; font-size: 11px; margin-top: 2px; padding-left: 10px;"&gt; Top Stories &lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://technorati.com/faves?sub=addfavbtn&amp;amp;add=http://politicalcommonsmarts.blogspot.com"&gt;&lt;img alt="Add to Technorati Favorites" src="http://static.technorati.com/pix/fave/btn-fave2.png" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/CommonSenseInPolitics"&gt;&lt;img alt="" height="26" src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/%7Efc/CommonSenseInPolitics?bg=99CCFF&amp;amp;fg=444444&amp;amp;anim=0" style="border: 0pt none;" width="88" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.blogengage.com/user.php?login=USERNAME&amp;amp;view=shaken"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.yoursourceforinfo.com/blogengage/images/blog_engage_promo_1.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;&lt;!--google_ad_client = "pub-9256733631687871";/* 728x90, created 9/2/08 */google_ad_slot = "8622544376";google_ad_width = 728;google_ad_height = 90;//--&gt;&lt;/script&gt; &lt;script src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js" type="text/javascript"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;&lt;a href="http://%0aus2.seafight.com/%0Aindex.es?userID=19903276" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://ad.e-sport.%0Acom/bigpoint_banner/%0Aseafight/us/gif/%0Aseafight_banner_650x400%0A_fw_0_us_01.gif" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.bloggersunite.org/event/stand-up-against-corruption-and-poverty"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.bloggersunite.org/image/resource/badge/e89541bb40062df94d9761d952686226.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.bloggersunite.org/event/people-first-empowering-people-with-disabilities"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.bloggersunite.org/image/resource/badge/735481a719cb5005ef9c819d2a58716f.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.bloggersunite.org/event/people-first-empowering-people-with-disabilities"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.bloggersunite.org/image/resource/badge/fc2d64c1ace61d91a50293bb38f794cf.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.bloggerwave.com/Bloggerwave/c/403/20474/0" rel="nofollow"&gt;http://www.oxis.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This will be a two part series where I discuss how to eliminate world hunger. Part one will be about E-85 ethanol and its negative consequence on the world's food supply. Part two will be about how we must educate the third world populace on the efficient farming methods of George Washington Carver and the Tuskegee Institute. In this part I discuss the reason I believe we should not use our food as fuel for our machines. The reasons not to do this are as follows: First, by turning our food into fuel we waste the&amp;nbsp; much needed food. Second, by using food to power our cars and heat our homes, we end causing shortages which end up in higher food prices when most families can't afford the increases.Third, not only is E-85 inefficient, it also is not as clean as hydrogen. The proof is this, for ever gallon of E-85 made it took 2 gallons of gas, which the fraud of E-85. In other-words, the only people who benefit from E-85 are corrupt politicians looking votes and farmers looking for tax money.&amp;nbsp; If we are to go to renewable fuels, then we should go to something like hydrogen or methane. By doing this, we don't waste food or cause a shortage. It is for these reasons that we cannot, we should not, &lt;b&gt;we must not&lt;/b&gt; allow the subsidization of E-85 fuel. Because by subsidizing E-85 we allow the corruption of the politicians and the fall of our government as we increase our debt. In conclusion, if we really want clean fuels and lower our debt, we &lt;b&gt;must not&lt;/b&gt; allow E-85 to be subsidized&lt;u&gt; EVER.&lt;/u&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6166481324096247560-6499140097100973649?l=politicalcommonsmarts.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://politicalcommonsmarts.blogspot.com/feeds/6499140097100973649/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6166481324096247560&amp;postID=6499140097100973649' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6166481324096247560/posts/default/6499140097100973649'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6166481324096247560/posts/default/6499140097100973649'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://politicalcommonsmarts.blogspot.com/2010/12/eliminating-hunger-part-1-why-we-should.html' title='Eliminating Hunger part 1 ( No Subsidies for E-85 )'/><author><name>Terry Ray Williams</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02587886902299747851</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6166481324096247560.post-2924352511642776619</id><published>2010-10-27T18:45:00.000-06:00</published><updated>2010-10-27T18:45:53.565-06:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='America'/><title type='text'>America (Why I love her)</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://www.zimbio.com/member/terryfordist75"&gt; &lt;img alt="My Zimbio" border="0" src="http://www.zimbio.com/images/badges/badgeBlue.png?u=terryfordist75" title="My Zimbio" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.zimbio.com/" style="color: #244366; display: block; font-size: 11px; margin-top: 2px; padding-left: 10px;"&gt; Top Stories &lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://technorati.com/faves?sub=addfavbtn&amp;amp;add=http://politicalcommonsmarts.blogspot.com"&gt;&lt;img alt="Add to Technorati Favorites" src="http://static.technorati.com/pix/fave/btn-fave2.png" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/CommonSenseInPolitics"&gt;&lt;img alt="" height="26" src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/%7Efc/CommonSenseInPolitics?bg=99CCFF&amp;amp;fg=444444&amp;amp;anim=0" style="border: 0pt none;" width="88" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.blogengage.com/user.php?login=USERNAME&amp;amp;view=shaken"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.yoursourceforinfo.com/blogengage/images/blog_engage_promo_1.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;&lt;!--google_ad_client = "pub-9256733631687871";/* 728x90, created 9/2/08 */google_ad_slot = "8622544376";google_ad_width = 728;google_ad_height = 90;//--&gt;&lt;/script&gt; &lt;script src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js" type="text/javascript"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;&lt;a href="http://%0aus2.seafight.com/%0Aindex.es?userID=19903276" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://ad.e-sport.%0Acom/bigpoint_banner/%0Aseafight/us/gif/%0Aseafight_banner_650x400%0A_fw_0_us_01.gif" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.bloggersunite.org/event/stand-up-against-corruption-and-poverty"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.bloggersunite.org/image/resource/badge/e89541bb40062df94d9761d952686226.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.bloggersunite.org/event/people-first-empowering-people-with-disabilities"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.bloggersunite.org/image/resource/badge/735481a719cb5005ef9c819d2a58716f.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.bloggersunite.org/event/people-first-empowering-people-with-disabilities"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.bloggersunite.org/image/resource/badge/fc2d64c1ace61d91a50293bb38f794cf.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.bloggerwave.com/Bloggerwave/c/403/20474/0" rel="nofollow"&gt;http://www.oxis.com&amp;nbsp;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In this article I'm going to talk about America &amp;amp; why I love her. The reason I'm writing this is because their is some uncertainty about whether we're the greatest country in the world. The answer to that question is this: &lt;b&gt;Yes&lt;/b&gt;, we are the greatest country in the world and here's why I say this. First, it was America who was the first ever country to whose government is the &lt;b&gt;People&lt;/b&gt;. And as such, until our founding all nation were ruled by the Elite class of the Aristocracy and not the people. If you look at the mansions or castles that leader's around the world live in the White House is a one-room shack in comparison. America is also the only country that &lt;b&gt;We the People &lt;/b&gt;can rule. In other-words even the poorest of the poor can be President, or in Congress. No other country allows you to do this, not even countries we deem as democracies. Second no where else in the world do you see poor people with multiple cars, tvs ,computers or phones in their houses. In other-words America has , in my opinion, the richest poor and middle class in the world. The proof of this is: for those who are poor or middle class, answer these questions. 1) How many times a day do you eat?, 2) How many televisions, cars, or phones do you have?, 3) Do you get full when you eat? If you answer more then one on questions 1 and 2 and answered yes to question three, then you (being poor or middle class) are richer then the poor in the rest of the world. Third, is a story about a guy who immigrated to this country as a child. After arriving in New York and passing the Statue of Liberty he saw an ad for an antacid and he cried. When his mother asked him what was wrong he said they didn't deserve to be in this country because they had never eaten till they were full. Finally no where else in the world can you say what you want without going to jail. These reasons are why I love America, Because we truly are the best country in the world.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6166481324096247560-2924352511642776619?l=politicalcommonsmarts.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://politicalcommonsmarts.blogspot.com/feeds/2924352511642776619/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6166481324096247560&amp;postID=2924352511642776619' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6166481324096247560/posts/default/2924352511642776619'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6166481324096247560/posts/default/2924352511642776619'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://politicalcommonsmarts.blogspot.com/2010/10/america-why-i-love-her.html' title='America (Why I love her)'/><author><name>Terry Ray Williams</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02587886902299747851</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6166481324096247560.post-18601118047228492</id><published>2010-09-13T20:52:00.002-06:00</published><updated>2010-09-13T20:53:57.240-06:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='chronic illness'/><title type='text'>Living With Chronic Illness</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://www.zimbio.com/member/terryfordist75"&gt; &lt;img alt="My Zimbio" border="0" src="http://www.zimbio.com/images/badges/badgeBlue.png?u=terryfordist75" title="My Zimbio" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.zimbio.com/" style="color: #244366; display: block; font-size: 11px; margin-top: 2px; padding-left: 10px;"&gt; Top Stories &lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://technorati.com/faves?sub=addfavbtn&amp;amp;add=http://politicalcommonsmarts.blogspot.com"&gt;&lt;img alt="Add to Technorati Favorites" src="http://static.technorati.com/pix/fave/btn-fave2.png" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/CommonSenseInPolitics"&gt;&lt;img alt="" height="26" src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/%7Efc/CommonSenseInPolitics?bg=99CCFF&amp;amp;fg=444444&amp;amp;anim=0" style="border: 0pt none;" width="88" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.blogengage.com/user.php?login=USERNAME&amp;amp;view=shaken"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.yoursourceforinfo.com/blogengage/images/blog_engage_promo_1.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;&lt;!--google_ad_client = "pub-9256733631687871";/* 728x90, created 9/2/08 */google_ad_slot = "8622544376";google_ad_width = 728;google_ad_height = 90;//--&gt;&lt;/script&gt; &lt;script src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js" type="text/javascript"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;&lt;a href="http://%0aus2.seafight.com/%0Aindex.es?userID=19903276" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://ad.e-sport.%0Acom/bigpoint_banner/%0Aseafight/us/gif/%0Aseafight_banner_650x400%0A_fw_0_us_01.gif" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.bloggersunite.org/event/stand-up-against-corruption-and-poverty"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.bloggersunite.org/image/resource/badge/e89541bb40062df94d9761d952686226.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.bloggersunite.org/event/people-first-empowering-people-with-disabilities"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.bloggersunite.org/image/resource/badge/735481a719cb5005ef9c819d2a58716f.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.bloggersunite.org/event/people-first-empowering-people-with-disabilities"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.bloggersunite.org/image/resource/badge/fc2d64c1ace61d91a50293bb38f794cf.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.bloggerwave.com/Bloggerwave/c/403/20474/0" rel="nofollow"&gt;http://www.oxis.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.bloggersunite.org/event/national-invisible-chronic-illness-awareness-week-2010"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.bloggersunite.org/image/resource/badge/ed13e376836e454df3e52b03531b3b2e.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;Living with chronic illness which 1 in 2 American have is a constant fight if you have asthma, cystic fibrosis, or some other chronic illness. So if you have a chronic illness it becomes frustrating that you cannot do thing or enjoy life as those without chronic illness. An example of this is what I go through with my asthma, although its mild, every time I get allergies my coughing is bad enough that I end up nearly blacking out and get strain headaches. I tend to injure my ribs due to the constant cough and the strength of the cough. I also end up going through a 2 month or more coughing spell. Even I have mild asthma I still fight to continue to do what I like doing, like model building. That being said, while I do have mild asthma I will not allow asthma to define me. I will continue doing what I like despite having asthma. And that's what we (people with chronic illness) need to do. We cannot allow our chronic illnesses to define us, wed need to break out of our illnesses and define ourselves. By doing this we tell the world that our illnesses do not define us, we do. Having said that I'll conclude by saying that, while having chronic illness, it is not the end of the world. Because those with chronic illness can still enjoy life like those without chronic illness.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6166481324096247560-18601118047228492?l=politicalcommonsmarts.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://politicalcommonsmarts.blogspot.com/feeds/18601118047228492/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6166481324096247560&amp;postID=18601118047228492' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6166481324096247560/posts/default/18601118047228492'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6166481324096247560/posts/default/18601118047228492'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://politicalcommonsmarts.blogspot.com/2010/09/living-with-chronic-illness.html' title='Living With Chronic Illness'/><author><name>Terry Ray Williams</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02587886902299747851</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6166481324096247560.post-7851871947758140921</id><published>2010-07-25T23:49:00.001-06:00</published><updated>2010-07-25T23:51:14.083-06:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='SB-1070'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='illegal immigration'/><title type='text'>Illegal immigration ( the new slavery)</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://www.zimbio.com/member/terryfordist75"&gt; &lt;img alt="My Zimbio" border="0" src="http://www.zimbio.com/images/badges/badgeBlue.png?u=terryfordist75" title="My Zimbio" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.zimbio.com/" style="color: #244366; display: block; font-size: 11px; margin-top: 2px; padding-left: 10px;"&gt; Top Stories &lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://technorati.com/faves?sub=addfavbtn&amp;amp;add=http://politicalcommonsmarts.blogspot.com"&gt;&lt;img alt="Add to Technorati Favorites" src="http://static.technorati.com/pix/fave/btn-fave2.png" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/CommonSenseInPolitics"&gt;&lt;img alt="" height="26" src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/%7Efc/CommonSenseInPolitics?bg=99CCFF&amp;amp;fg=444444&amp;amp;anim=0" style="border: 0pt none;" width="88" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.blogengage.com/user.php?login=USERNAME&amp;amp;view=shaken"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.yoursourceforinfo.com/blogengage/images/blog_engage_promo_1.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;&lt;!--google_ad_client = "pub-9256733631687871";/* 728x90, created 9/2/08 */google_ad_slot = "8622544376";google_ad_width = 728;google_ad_height = 90;//--&gt;&lt;/script&gt; &lt;script src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js" type="text/javascript"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;&lt;a href="http://%0aus2.seafight.com/%0Aindex.es?userID=19903276" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://ad.e-sport.%0Acom/bigpoint_banner/%0Aseafight/us/gif/%0Aseafight_banner_650x400%0A_fw_0_us_01.gif" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.bloggersunite.org/event/stand-up-against-corruption-and-poverty"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.bloggersunite.org/image/resource/badge/e89541bb40062df94d9761d952686226.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.bloggersunite.org/event/people-first-empowering-people-with-disabilities"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.bloggersunite.org/image/resource/badge/735481a719cb5005ef9c819d2a58716f.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.bloggersunite.org/event/people-first-empowering-people-with-disabilities"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.bloggersunite.org/image/resource/badge/fc2d64c1ace61d91a50293bb38f794cf.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.bloggerwave.com/Bloggerwave/c/403/20474/0" rel="nofollow"&gt;http://www.oxis.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;I am sick of the pro-amnesty and illegal immigrant activists saying that the Arizona's law encourages racial profiling and is unconstitutional. So, here my counter argument to their claims. Their first argument is that it is (SB1070) unconstitutional. They're wrong &amp;amp; here's why, first there is nowhere in the Constitution that prohibit the state from enforcing federal law or pass laws that mirror federal law. In fact every state that enforce anti-drug laws, are in fact, enforcing federal federal laws. Second, the Arizona law does not preempt,but if fact, mirrors federal law. Now this is done in every state that enforces anti-drug laws. In fact here is the opening text, "The legislature finds that there is a compelling interest in the cooperative enforcement of federal immigration laws throughout all of Arizona." The second argument against the Arizona law is "racial profiling". This is a bold face &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Lie&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt; because the law clearly state "&lt;b&gt;lawful contact"&lt;/b&gt;. that means you have to be breaking another law to be contacted by police. Another problem I have with these groups opposing the Arizona law, is that in my opinion they are pro-slavery and anti-American. They say that illegal immigrants do work Americans won't do. This is the very same lie the pro-slavery politicians said in the 1800s. Next, they say that illegals pay social security and other taxes. This too, is a lie because their employers not only pay them under the table, but pay them a $1/hour if the employers pay them at all. In conclusion I say this: "if you are pro illegal immigration, you are pro-slavery". And there is no room in this country for slavery or slave owners.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6166481324096247560-7851871947758140921?l=politicalcommonsmarts.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://politicalcommonsmarts.blogspot.com/feeds/7851871947758140921/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6166481324096247560&amp;postID=7851871947758140921' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6166481324096247560/posts/default/7851871947758140921'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6166481324096247560/posts/default/7851871947758140921'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://politicalcommonsmarts.blogspot.com/2010/07/illegal-immigration-new-slavery.html' title='Illegal immigration ( the new slavery)'/><author><name>Terry Ray Williams</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02587886902299747851</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6166481324096247560.post-8460181399726009696</id><published>2010-06-28T23:12:00.002-06:00</published><updated>2010-06-28T23:21:11.082-06:00</updated><title type='text'>Oxis</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://www.zimbio.com/member/terryfordist75"&gt; &lt;img alt="My Zimbio" title="My Zimbio" src="http://www.zimbio.com/images/badges/badgeBlue.png?u=terryfordist75" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a style="margin-top: 2px; display: block; font-size: 11px; padding-left: 10px; color: rgb(36, 67, 102);" href="http://www.zimbio.com/"&gt; Top Stories &lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://technorati.com/faves?sub=addfavbtn&amp;amp;add=http://politicalcommonsmarts.blogspot.com"&gt;&lt;img src="http://static.technorati.com/pix/fave/btn-fave2.png" alt="Add to Technorati Favorites" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/CommonSenseInPolitics"&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/%7Efc/CommonSenseInPolitics?bg=99CCFF&amp;amp;fg=444444&amp;amp;anim=0" style="border: 0pt none;" alt="" height="26" width="88" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.blogengage.com/user.php?login=USERNAME&amp;amp;view=shaken"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.yoursourceforinfo.com/blogengage/images/blog_engage_promo_1.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;&lt;!--google_ad_client = "pub-9256733631687871";/* 728x90, created 9/2/08 */google_ad_slot = "8622544376";google_ad_width = 728;google_ad_height = 90;//--&gt;&lt;/script&gt;&lt;script type="text/javascript" src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;&lt;a href="http://us2.seafight.com/index.es?userID=19903276" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://ad.e-sport.com/bigpoint_banner/seafight/us/gif/seafight_banner_650x400_fw_0_us_01.gif" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.bloggersunite.org/event/stand-up-against-corruption-and-poverty"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.bloggersunite.org/image/resource/badge/e89541bb40062df94d9761d952686226.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.bloggersunite.org/event/people-first-empowering-people-with-disabilities"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.bloggersunite.org/image/resource/badge/735481a719cb5005ef9c819d2a58716f.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.bloggersunite.org/event/people-first-empowering-people-with-disabilities"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.bloggersunite.org/image/resource/badge/fc2d64c1ace61d91a50293bb38f794cf.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.bloggerwave.com/Bloggerwave/c/403/20474/0"&gt;http://www.oxis.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oxis is  a company that researches l-ergothioneine and, while I have never of  this company before I got the offer to write about their product, I have  done research on the company &amp;amp; their product. Oxis, which is a  penny stock deals with L-ergothioneine products. My research into this  company &amp;amp; their product is as follows: First L-ergothioneine is a  naturally occurring amino acid which is found mainly in foods rich in  it, such as: liver, kidney, red beans, and oat bran. As well as the  highest amounts being in oyster mushrooms &amp;amp; bolete. In the human  body is is present in skin, eye lens, erythrocysts(red blood cells),  &amp;amp; semen. This amino acid not only does it have antioxidant  properties, as well as glutathoine is also a good scavanger of free radicals. As far as I can determine in my research, it is my  opinion that this is a good product. However, the only down side with  L-ergothioneine is that higher blood levels of L-ergothioneine has been  associated with rhumatoid arthritis. the reason is the ETT gene that  transports the L-ergothioneine is mutated in Rhumatoid Arthritis and  Crohns &amp;amp; transports it more easily than normal proteins. Because the  effects of L-ergothioneine on metabolism is unknown at this time, it is  unclear whether any results prove a roll between L-ergothioneine &amp;amp;  human disease. That being said, while, like I said I think this is a  good product, I suggest consulting someone who knows L-ergothioneine to  see if its good for you. In closing, while this company is a penny  stock, in my opinion I think that Oxis is a good company to look into  for L-ergothioneine anti-aging products.   &lt;div class="post-footer"&gt; &lt;div class="post-footer-line post-footer-line-1"&gt;

their parents have a more difficult hand dealt to them that they must overcome daily. I have a few examples of these courageous people: one is my niece Shylah who was mentioned in part 1. She was born with cerebral palsey, tracheal esophageal fistula atresia, &amp;amp; undiagnosed seizures. She coded (stopped breathing) for 45 minutes to 1 hour, she also had to have a jejunum gastric tube inserted into her abdomen. since then, she has fought valiantly to progress through her many challenges. Another example is that of a friend whose daughter was has cystic fibrosis. This girl has to have multiple breathing treatment daily. When she eats she has to have enzymes due to the inability to digest food. She also has a club foot &amp;amp; a low tolerance to illnesses. Even so, for a 3 year old, she braves all of the procedures &amp;amp; multiple hospital visits she must endure during winter. In short, she is one of the bravest girl I know.When it comes to parents of disabled kids one of the strongest people I know is Danielle (Shylah's mother). She has struggled with her daughter's seizures,as,well,as, being a single mother.Another strong parent is the friend whose daughter has CF. She &amp;amp; her husband have to constantly be on guard to prevent any illnesses from entering their home. This means that at times their daughter can't have friends or family over if any friend or family member has any illness of any kind. In short, when it comes to illnesses they have to isolate her. In closing, these families with disabilities show the most courage, bravery, &amp;amp; strength of anyone I know.

First, there are nations like North Korea and the Sudan where there is major famine and starvation. The UN continues to send food and the People continue to starve. Why? The answer is that these dishonor morons are stealing the food and hoarding it for themselves. This action alone proves that these people not only have no honor, but are the lowest of all criminals. Because they hate their people and care only of themselves, these so called "Leaders" have decided that only power is the currency and corruption is law. So, until we expose and condemn these &lt;span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold"&gt;trailer trash&lt;/span&gt; leaders no one in famine stricken country will &lt;span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold"&gt;ever &lt;/span&gt;get food. The second reason for exposing these &lt;span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold"&gt;Trailer trash leaders&lt;/span&gt; is the example of illegal immigration. Examples where these laws can be enforced if &lt;span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold"&gt;corrupt&lt;/span&gt; Senators, like John McCain, who support slavery, would enforce the laws on the books. Because illegal immigration &lt;span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold"&gt;is&lt;/span&gt; slavery and those who oppose laws to stop it are saying the they are in favor of slavery and don't want to change. In other-words, by wanting "cheap labor" they actually want slavery. Because these illegal get paid 10 cents an hour, &lt;span style="FONT-STYLE: italic"&gt;if&lt;/span&gt; they get paid at all. Corrupt Politicians like McCain want the votes while Corrupt organizations like ACORN and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce want the business and want cheap labor. They excuse this by saying, "they do jobs no American wants to do." Hmm, where have I heard this before? Let's see. Oh, I know, this was the same B.S. line that the slave traders of the 1800's said to excuse black slavery. The truth is they cannot excuse this because, this is slavery and the jobs they do, &lt;span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold"&gt;no one&lt;/span&gt; should do. So to the &lt;span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold"&gt;trailer trash&lt;/span&gt; John McCain and his &lt;span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold"&gt;trailer trash&lt;/span&gt; friends. Your corruption will not be tolerated anymore in other-words your services are no longer needed. So in conclusion, all corrupt leaders and organizations need to know this. Their days are numbered and they will no longer take advantage of anyone anymore. And to the people who suffer under corruption this message, I support any revolt you do in the name of freedom and democracy. Because as U.S. President Abraham Lincoln said"Freedom is the natural condition of the human race, in which the Almighty intended men to live. Those who fight the purposes of the Almighty will not succeed. They always have been, they always will be defeated". Because corruption breads tyranny, and tyranny bread famine and suffering which we cannot and should not allow to continue.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6166481324096247560-6978303352683946008?l=politicalcommonsmarts.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://politicalcommonsmarts.blogspot.com/feeds/6978303352683946008/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6166481324096247560&amp;postID=6978303352683946008' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6166481324096247560/posts/default/6978303352683946008'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6166481324096247560/posts/default/6978303352683946008'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://politicalcommonsmarts.blogspot.com/2009/09/corruption-part-2-why-we-must-expose.html' title='Corruption part 2 (Why we Must Expose All Corrupt Leaders)'/><author><name>Terry Ray Williams</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02587886902299747851</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6166481324096247560.post-2152950129003660347</id><published>2009-09-27T14:35:00.000-06:00</published><updated>2009-11-16T16:22:23.085-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Corruption'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Democracy'/><title type='text'>Corruption part 1 ( Why it is a Threat to Democracy and Life )</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://www.zimbio.com/member/terryfordist75"&gt;&lt;img title="My Zimbio" border="0" alt="My Zimbio" src="http://www.zimbio.com/images/badges/badgeBlue.png?u=terryfordist75" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a style="MARGIN-TOP: 2px; PADDING-LEFT: 10px; DISPLAY: block; COLOR: rgb(36,67,102); FONT-SIZE: 11px" href="http://www.zimbio.com/"&gt;Top Stories &lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://technorati.com/faves?sub=addfavbtn&amp;amp;add=http://politicalcommonsmarts.blogspot.com"&gt;&lt;img alt="Add to Technorati Favorites" src="http://static.technorati.com/pix/fave/btn-fave2.png" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/CommonSenseInPolitics"&gt;&lt;img style="BORDER-BOTTOM: 0pt; BORDER-LEFT: 0pt; BORDER-TOP: 0pt; BORDER-RIGHT: 0pt" alt="" src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~fc/CommonSenseInPolitics?bg=99CCFF&amp;amp;fg=444444&amp;amp;anim=0" width="88" height="26" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.blogengage.com/user.php?login=USERNAME&amp;amp;view=shaken"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.yoursourceforinfo.com/blogengage/images/blog_engage_promo_1.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;&lt;!-- google_ad_client = "pub-9256733631687871"; /* 728x90, created 9/2/08 */ google_ad_slot = "8622544376"; google_ad_width = 728; google_ad_height = 90; //--&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/script&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;script type="text/javascript" src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/script&gt;&lt;a href="http://%20us2.seafight.com/%20index.es?userID=19903276" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://ad.e-sport.%20com/bigpoint_banner/%20seafight/us/gif/%20seafight_banner_650x400%20_fw_0_us_01.gif" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.bloggersunite.org/event/stand-up-against-corruption-and-poverty"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.bloggersunite.org/image/resource/badge/e89541bb40062df94d9761d952686226.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I consider corruption a mortal threat to life and moral threat to democracy and here's why. First, it is a mortal threat to life because in places like North Korea now or Somalia in the 90's you have people starving. And the reason they are is because their "leaders", and I use the word leaders &lt;span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold"&gt;very lightly&lt;/span&gt;, make sure that any food deliveries in their countries only go to them. In other-words the food and aid shipped to starving countries is stolen by government officials for the benefit of the "leader". In my opinion they do this because a fed populace and an educated populace is harder to control. Next, the so called "leaders" have absolutely no care or concern for their people, they (corrupt leaders) only care about themselves. Third, it is a threat to democracy because it is the one perfect way to have a democracy fall. The reason is that through corruption you have voter &amp;amp; voter registration fraud and permissive attitudes by government officials that allow criminal activities to take place. Here are examples of each of the listed corrupt elements. First with voter &amp;amp; voter registration fraud you run the chance of getting a person who in his soul is the lowest animal you can imagine. In other-words he serve only himself, cares of no-one but himself, and is extremely brutal in civil rights (i.e. free speech etc.). Finally with the corrupt element of permissive attitudes, you have situations like illegal immigration that, to the corrupt is a chance to get more money, more votes, and more slaves, while to the rest needs to be regulated. It it because of these reasons I believe is the biggest threat to all nations and must be brought out into the light. Because in the end, corruption leads to poverty and ruined economies and the proof of this is simple: just &lt;span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold"&gt;follow the money.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6166481324096247560-2152950129003660347?l=politicalcommonsmarts.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://politicalcommonsmarts.blogspot.com/feeds/2152950129003660347/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6166481324096247560&amp;postID=2152950129003660347' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6166481324096247560/posts/default/2152950129003660347'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6166481324096247560/posts/default/2152950129003660347'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://politicalcommonsmarts.blogspot.com/2009/09/corruption-part-1-why-it-is-threat-to.html' title='Corruption part 1 ( Why it is a Threat to Democracy and Life )'/><author><name>Terry Ray Williams</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02587886902299747851</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6166481324096247560.post-7346922452607075897</id><published>2009-09-27T14:28:00.000-06:00</published><updated>2009-11-16T16:21:57.145-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='human rights'/><title type='text'>Human Rights (why we must include the unborn)</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://www.zimbio.com/member/terryfordist75"&gt;&lt;img title="My Zimbio" border="0" alt="My Zimbio" src="http://www.zimbio.com/images/badges/badgeBlue.png?u=terryfordist75" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a style="MARGIN-TOP: 2px; PADDING-LEFT: 10px; DISPLAY: block; COLOR: rgb(36,67,102); FONT-SIZE: 11px" href="http://www.zimbio.com/"&gt;Top Stories &lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://technorati.com/faves?sub=addfavbtn&amp;amp;add=http://politicalcommonsmarts.blogspot.com"&gt;&lt;img alt="Add to Technorati Favorites" src="http://static.technorati.com/pix/fave/btn-fave2.png" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/CommonSenseInPolitics"&gt;&lt;img style="BORDER-BOTTOM: 0pt; BORDER-LEFT: 0pt; BORDER-TOP: 0pt; BORDER-RIGHT: 0pt" alt="" src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~fc/CommonSenseInPolitics?bg=99CCFF&amp;amp;fg=444444&amp;amp;anim=0" width="88" height="26" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.blogengage.com/user.php?login=USERNAME&amp;amp;view=shaken"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.yoursourceforinfo.com/blogengage/images/blog_engage_promo_1.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;&lt;!-- google_ad_client = "pub-9256733631687871"; /* 728x90, created 9/2/08 */ google_ad_slot = "8622544376"; google_ad_width = 728; google_ad_height = 90; //--&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/script&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;script type="text/javascript" src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/script&gt;&lt;a href="http://%20us2.seafight.com/%20index.es?userID=19903276" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://ad.e-sport.%20com/bigpoint_banner/%20seafight/us/gif/%20seafight_banner_650x400%20_fw_0_us_01.gif" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In my mind no-one can talk about Human Rights without talking about the rights of the unborn and here's why. First and foremost &lt;span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold"&gt;they are human&lt;/span&gt; and in need of protection. If we talk about human rights we must include all humans, even the unborn. Because they not only have no one to speak for them, they have no one to protect them from the baby killers of the abortion rights movement. Because the people who want abortion want to kill all babies, they feel the the unborn should have no rights, ever. I disagree because, first those who advocate abortion include those with disabilities. Second they want to blame the child for the mistakes of the mother or the crimes of the father. In other-words when I'm talking about (in the of crimes of the father) rape and ( in mistakes of the mother) sleep around. It is &lt;span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold"&gt;not&lt;/span&gt; the fault of the child that he was the off-spring of a rapist. It is also not his/her fault that their( the unborn child) mother is an adulteress. Next murdering a fetus because of disabilities in my mind shows the hatred of the disabled. Because in my mind it violates their right to life. So in conclusion, if we're going to talk about human rights, then we must talk about all humans including the unborn. Because they have rights, too.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6166481324096247560-7346922452607075897?l=politicalcommonsmarts.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://politicalcommonsmarts.blogspot.com/feeds/7346922452607075897/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6166481324096247560&amp;postID=7346922452607075897' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6166481324096247560/posts/default/7346922452607075897'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6166481324096247560/posts/default/7346922452607075897'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://politicalcommonsmarts.blogspot.com/2009/09/human-rights-why-we-must-include-unborn.html' title='Human Rights (why we must include the unborn)'/><author><name>Terry Ray Williams</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02587886902299747851</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6166481324096247560.post-4965476680540747563</id><published>2009-09-15T13:56:00.002-06:00</published><updated>2010-07-22T01:47:33.656-06:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Birth defects'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Disabilities'/><title type='text'>Birth defects or disabilities pt.1  (How kids born with them can inspire us).</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://www.zimbio.com/member/terryfordist75"&gt; &lt;img alt="My Zimbio" border="0" src="http://www.zimbio.com/images/badges/badgeBlue.png?u=terryfordist75" title="My Zimbio" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.zimbio.com/" style="color: #244366; display: block; font-size: 11px; margin-top: 2px; padding-left: 10px;"&gt; Top Stories &lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://technorati.com/faves?sub=addfavbtn&amp;amp;add=http://politicalcommonsmarts.blogspot.com"&gt;&lt;img alt="Add to Technorati Favorites" src="http://static.technorati.com/pix/fave/btn-fave2.png" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/CommonSenseInPolitics"&gt;&lt;img alt="" height="26" src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/%7Efc/CommonSenseInPolitics?bg=99CCFF&amp;amp;fg=444444&amp;amp;anim=0" style="border: 0pt none;" width="88" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.blogengage.com/user.php?login=USERNAME&amp;amp;view=shaken"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.yoursourceforinfo.com/blogengage/images/blog_engage_promo_1.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;&lt;!-- google_ad_client = "pub-9256733631687871"; /* 728x90, created 9/2/08 */ google_ad_slot = "8622544376"; google_ad_width = 728; google_ad_height = 90; //--&gt;&lt;/script&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;script src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js" type="text/javascript"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.bloggersunite.org/event/international-literacy-day"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.bloggersunite.org/image/resource/badge/6700ca2e9504778b0c0df3ebecfc0040.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is a subject that is near and dear to me for two reasons. First I was born with Petit-mal Epilepsy, a defect or disability of the brain that causes absence seizures. While my Epilepsy was not a " die at birth" defect, I've still had to fight it. As such I am proud to say that I've outgrown the seizures. The second reason is because two people I know have had kids born with defects. These children have had to fight just to stay alive. One was born severely under weight, due to having her sack connected only to her twin brother and not the mother. In other-words her twin brother got all of the nutrients and she got what little was left.  However, after she was born she had two brain bleeds at the hospital. Because of this she now has Cerebral Palsy so while she is disabled there is no telling what she'll do in the future. The other child was born with Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia (CDH) which is a hole in the diaphragm. The mortality rate according to wikipedia is between 40% and 62%. So when children are born with defects like these, whether fatal or not, they have to fight hard to either live or to make it through society. So when a child is born with a defect especially one that is fatal it helps tremendously to pray, because while the child is fighting hard to live, prayer gives the child help to survive. In conclusion the reason I believe that children with birth defects can inspire us is, because with the help of prayer, children with birth defects will fight to the end and won't give up.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6166481324096247560-4965476680540747563?l=politicalcommonsmarts.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://politicalcommonsmarts.blogspot.com/feeds/4965476680540747563/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6166481324096247560&amp;postID=4965476680540747563' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6166481324096247560/posts/default/4965476680540747563'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6166481324096247560/posts/default/4965476680540747563'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://politicalcommonsmarts.blogspot.com/2009/09/birth-defects-how-kids-born-with-them.html' title='Birth defects or disabilities pt.1  (How kids born with them can inspire us).'/><author><name>Terry Ray Williams</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02587886902299747851</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6166481324096247560.post-8295144537243373387</id><published>2009-09-07T16:00:00.000-06:00</published><updated>2009-09-13T13:03:00.898-06:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='reading'/><title type='text'>Reading (Why its the Most Important Key to Success)</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://www.zimbio.com/member/terryfordist75"&gt; &lt;img alt="My Zimbio" title="My Zimbio" src="http://www.zimbio.com/images/badges/badgeBlue.png?u=terryfordist75" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a style="margin-top: 2px; display: block; font-size: 11px; padding-left: 10px; color: rgb(36, 67, 102);" href="http://www.zimbio.com/"&gt; Top Stories &lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://technorati.com/faves?sub=addfavbtn&amp;amp;add=http://politicalcommonsmarts.blogspot.com"&gt;&lt;img src="http://static.technorati.com/pix/fave/btn-fave2.png" alt="Add to Technorati Favorites" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/CommonSenseInPolitics"&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/%7Efc/CommonSenseInPolitics?bg=99CCFF&amp;amp;fg=444444&amp;amp;anim=0" style="border: 0pt none ;" alt="" width="88" height="26" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.blogengage.com/user.php?login=USERNAME&amp;amp;view=shaken"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.yoursourceforinfo.com/blogengage/images/blog_engage_promo_1.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;&lt;!-- google_ad_client = "pub-9256733631687871"; /* 728x90, created 9/2/08 */ google_ad_slot = "8622544376"; google_ad_width = 728; google_ad_height = 90; //--&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/script&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;script type="text/javascript" src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/script&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.bloggersunite.org/event/international-literacy-day"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.bloggersunite.org/image/resource/badge/6700ca2e9504778b0c0df3ebecfc0040.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The most important key to success, even more important than education in my opinion, is reading. The following reasons why I say it's more important than education are: First, because without the ability to read you cannot get an education. Next by learning to read, not only do you open yourself to an education, but you also open up all horizons which eventually lead to the American dream. In other-words, those who cannot read are likely to be uneducated and more easily controlled by tyrants, and less likely to succeed. Meaning that those who read are more likely to vote for freedom and independence than those who can't and do get more good paying jobs than those who don't. Second, when it comes to literacy, according to www.Phrasebase.com &amp;amp; the Census Bureau the U.S. has a 99%  literacy rate which is one of best in the world. However, according to en.Wikipedia.org the United Nations Development Programme list Cuba as number one with 100% and Luxemburg tied with the U.S. in 17th place at 99%, while www.Phasebase.com has Luxemburg as no.1 with 100% and cuba as 23rd with 97% which I tend to believe. Last, as an avid reader and bookworm, I have "been" on pirate ships, Federation starships all over the galaxy, and saved lost monkeys from a train wreck during summer. The reason I've done ll this is because there is no other way to travel the universe or save damsels or animals in distress then to read a book. In conclusion, reading itself is the "starship" of the imagination that can take us to all points in the universe.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6166481324096247560-8295144537243373387?l=politicalcommonsmarts.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://politicalcommonsmarts.blogspot.com/feeds/8295144537243373387/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6166481324096247560&amp;postID=8295144537243373387' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6166481324096247560/posts/default/8295144537243373387'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6166481324096247560/posts/default/8295144537243373387'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://politicalcommonsmarts.blogspot.com/2009/09/reading-why-its-most-importnat-key-to.html' title='Reading (Why its the Most Important Key to Success)'/><author><name>Terry Ray Williams</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02587886902299747851</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6166481324096247560.post-5205133274742175796</id><published>2009-08-25T20:18:00.001-06:00</published><updated>2009-09-27T14:34:41.268-06:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='term limits'/><title type='text'>Corruption in D.C.

Politicians like Rahm Emanuel, Ted Stevens, and John McCain are all either morally corrupt, ethically corrupt, or politically corrupt. In the case of Ted Stevens, he is politically corrupt and I think legally corrupt, but because of the idiot prosecutors his conviction was over turned. John McCain is morally corrupt because he supports the pro-slavery cause and foundations of the Amnesty movement. Rahm Emanuel is in my opinion ethically corrupt because he uses Chicago political tactics to shove his un-American value down our throats. These men and others like them care nothing of &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;We the People&lt;/span&gt; and care only of their next votes. These people have nothing but disdain and dislike for the American people. They have been corrupted by the special interest and lobbying firm of Washington and have begun only serving these groups.

Calling them everything from "unAmerican" to Nazi". These tactics will fail for the following reasons. First, by attacking the American voters, these politicians have dishonored and disgraced themselves and their names. Because the voters are the employers of politicians &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;not &lt;/span&gt;the employees. Second, these personal attacks on the voters are analogous to a fast food employee who slanders his/her manager. Such employees do not get to keep their jobs long. Prove of this, is that these politicians who are attacking the voters and who have campaigns coming up in 2010 are in &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;deep&lt;/span&gt; trouble with their voters. these politicians in my opinion do not stand a chance of being re-elected. The American people understand better than the politicians that this is &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;our&lt;/span&gt; country,&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt; our &lt;/span&gt;government, and that they (the politicians) are our&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt; servants&lt;/span&gt;. So politicians beware, those who throw insults or personal attacks on &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;We The People&lt;/span&gt;, will soon find themselves in the unemployment line.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;script type="text/javascript" src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/script&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6166481324096247560-8568328107005184307?l=politicalcommonsmarts.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://politicalcommonsmarts.blogspot.com/feeds/8568328107005184307/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6166481324096247560&amp;postID=8568328107005184307' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6166481324096247560/posts/default/8568328107005184307'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6166481324096247560/posts/default/8568328107005184307'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://politicalcommonsmarts.blogspot.com/2009/08/democrats-demean-us-at-their-own-peril.html' title='The Democrats demean us at their own peril'/><author><name>Terry Ray Williams</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02587886902299747851</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6166481324096247560.post-2862120267728609420</id><published>2009-07-15T15:42:00.000-06:00</published><updated>2009-07-17T00:32:39.274-06:00</updated><title type='text'>The corrupt Congress</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://www.zimbio.com/member/terryfordist75"&gt; &lt;img alt="My Zimbio" title="My Zimbio" src="http://www.zimbio.com/images/badges/badgeBlue.png?u=terryfordist75" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a style="margin-top: 2px; display: block; font-size: 11px; padding-left: 10px; color: rgb(36, 67, 102);" href="http://www.zimbio.com/"&gt; Top Stories &lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://technorati.com/faves?sub=addfavbtn&amp;amp;add=http://politicalcommonsmarts.blogspot.com"&gt;&lt;img src="http://static.technorati.com/pix/fave/btn-fave2.png" alt="Add to Technorati Favorites" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/CommonSenseInPolitics"&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/%7Efc/CommonSenseInPolitics?bg=99CCFF&amp;amp;fg=444444&amp;amp;anim=0" style="border: 0pt none ;" alt="" width="88" height="26" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.blogengage.com/user.php?login=USERNAME&amp;amp;view=shaken"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.yoursourceforinfo.com/blogengage/images/blog_engage_promo_1.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;&lt;!-- google_ad_client = "pub-9256733631687871"; /* 728x90, created 9/2/08 */ google_ad_slot = "8622544376"; google_ad_width = 728; google_ad_height = 90; //--&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/script&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;script type="text/javascript" src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/script&gt;&lt;a href="http://unite.blogcatalog.com/" title="Bloggers Unite - Blogging For Hope"&gt;&lt;img src="http://assets.blogcatalog.com/unite/badges/081201/bu_aids_badge1.gif" alt="Bloggers Unite" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;img src="http://socialspark.com/images/claimdot.gif" alt="ss_blog_claim=88887e159c197230d43e202786904fb3" /&gt;&lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;&lt;!-- google_ad_client = "pub-9256733631687871"; /* 728x15, created 2/16/09 */ google_ad_slot = "3797538670"; google_ad_width = 728; google_ad_height = 15; //--&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/script&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was watching Glenn Beck and was dismayed, because what I was seeing was a criminal enterprise, a mafia of sorts. Because of the racketeering being committed by Congress as well as Bush and Obama, I am going to do something I've never done before. By doing this I hope the people will agree and will stand up and be vocal about this. What I'm doing is I am calling for a criminal investigation of both Bush and Obama as well as both of the treasury secretaries, all members of Congress who vote for all of the stimulus packages and TARP, and anyone appointee for any cabinet or czar position with ties to Wall Street. These people have committed treason, bribery, and racketeering as well as allowing Goldman Sacks to become an illegal monopoly. In other-words I believe that members of Congress like Congressmen Pelosi and Frank, and senators Reid and McCain need to go to prison for the corruption being committed. After that we need to vote them out and black ball them from politics forever. Because I believe that these cancers in our country, not  only have no honor, but don't deserve their postions, Ever.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;script type="text/javascript" src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/script&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6166481324096247560-2862120267728609420?l=politicalcommonsmarts.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://politicalcommonsmarts.blogspot.com/feeds/2862120267728609420/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6166481324096247560&amp;postID=2862120267728609420' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6166481324096247560/posts/default/2862120267728609420'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6166481324096247560/posts/default/2862120267728609420'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://politicalcommonsmarts.blogspot.com/2009/07/corrupt-congress.html' title='The corrupt Congress'/><author><name>Terry Ray Williams</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02587886902299747851</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6166481324096247560.post-4452470292590052262</id><published>2009-07-02T23:06:00.000-06:00</published><updated>2009-07-03T16:22:09.015-06:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Health-care'/><title type='text'>The Communist Health-care plan</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://www.zimbio.com/member/terryfordist75"&gt; &lt;img alt="My Zimbio" title="My Zimbio" src="http://www.zimbio.com/images/badges/badgeBlue.png?u=terryfordist75" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a style="margin-top: 2px; display: block; font-size: 11px; padding-left: 10px; color: rgb(36, 67, 102);" href="http://www.zimbio.com/"&gt; Top Stories &lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://technorati.com/faves?sub=addfavbtn&amp;amp;add=http://politicalcommonsmarts.blogspot.com"&gt;&lt;img src="http://static.technorati.com/pix/fave/btn-fave2.png" alt="Add to Technorati Favorites" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/CommonSenseInPolitics"&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/%7Efc/CommonSenseInPolitics?bg=99CCFF&amp;amp;fg=444444&amp;amp;anim=0" style="border: 0pt none ;" alt="" width="88" height="26" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.blogengage.com/user.php?login=USERNAME&amp;amp;view=shaken"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.yoursourceforinfo.com/blogengage/images/blog_engage_promo_1.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;&lt;!-- google_ad_client = "pub-9256733631687871"; /* 728x90, created 9/2/08 */ google_ad_slot = "8622544376"; google_ad_width = 728; google_ad_height = 90; //--&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/script&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;script type="text/javascript" src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/script&gt;&lt;a href="http://unite.blogcatalog.com/" title="Bloggers Unite - Blogging For Hope"&gt;&lt;img src="http://assets.blogcatalog.com/unite/badges/081201/bu_aids_badge1.gif" alt="Bloggers Unite" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;img src="http://socialspark.com/images/claimdot.gif" alt="ss_blog_claim=88887e159c197230d43e202786904fb3" /&gt;&lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;&lt;!-- google_ad_client = "pub-9256733631687871"; /* 728x15, created 2/16/09 */ google_ad_slot = "3797538670"; google_ad_width = 728; google_ad_height = 15; //--&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/script&gt; Well the Senate has finally given the American people the bird. They are going to violate our constitutional rights and force us to have health insurance. That's right comrade Kennedy and Adolf Obama feel that the Constitution no longer exists and they can force us to buy their products. I will not be forced to buy insurance if I don't want it and here is my answer to the Nazis obama and Kennedy. "When in the course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another..... We hold these truths to be self evident, that all people are created equal, that they are endowed by their creator with certain inalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their powers from the consent of the governed, that whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends it is the right of the People to alter or abolish it.... But when a long train of abuses and usurptions, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them to absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new guards for their future security." I hereby declare the Obama a despot, a tyrant, and a fascist that must GO!&lt;script type="text/javascript" src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/script&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6166481324096247560-4452470292590052262?l=politicalcommonsmarts.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://politicalcommonsmarts.blogspot.com/feeds/4452470292590052262/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6166481324096247560&amp;postID=4452470292590052262' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6166481324096247560/posts/default/4452470292590052262'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6166481324096247560/posts/default/4452470292590052262'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://politicalcommonsmarts.blogspot.com/2009/07/communist-health-care-plan.html' title='The Communist Health-care plan'/><author><name>Terry Ray Williams</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02587886902299747851</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6166481324096247560.post-2315579010516210402</id><published>2009-06-21T15:52:00.000-06:00</published><updated>2009-06-21T16:12:31.347-06:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='despots'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Iran'/><title type='text'>Iranian uprising</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://www.zimbio.com/member/terryfordist75"&gt; &lt;img alt="My Zimbio" title="My Zimbio" src="http://www.zimbio.com/images/badges/badgeBlue.png?u=terryfordist75" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a style="margin-top: 2px; display: block; font-size: 11px; padding-left: 10px; color: rgb(36, 67, 102);" href="http://www.zimbio.com/"&gt; Top Stories &lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://technorati.com/faves?sub=addfavbtn&amp;amp;add=http://politicalcommonsmarts.blogspot.com"&gt;&lt;img src="http://static.technorati.com/pix/fave/btn-fave2.png" alt="Add to Technorati Favorites" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/CommonSenseInPolitics"&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/%7Efc/CommonSenseInPolitics?bg=99CCFF&amp;amp;fg=444444&amp;amp;anim=0" style="border: 0pt none ;" alt="" width="88" height="26" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.blogengage.com/user.php?login=USERNAME&amp;amp;view=shaken"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.yoursourceforinfo.com/blogengage/images/blog_engage_promo_1.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;&lt;!-- google_ad_client = "pub-9256733631687871"; /* 728x90, created 9/2/08 */ google_ad_slot = "8622544376"; google_ad_width = 728; google_ad_height = 90; //--&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/script&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;script type="text/javascript" src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/script&gt;&lt;a href="http://unite.blogcatalog.com/" title="Bloggers Unite - Blogging For Hope"&gt;&lt;img src="http://assets.blogcatalog.com/unite/badges/081201/bu_aids_badge1.gif" alt="Bloggers Unite" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;img src="http://socialspark.com/images/claimdot.gif" alt="ss_blog_claim=88887e159c197230d43e202786904fb3" /&gt;&lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;&lt;!-- google_ad_client = "pub-9256733631687871"; /* 728x15, created 2/16/09 */ google_ad_slot = "3797538670"; google_ad_width = 728; google_ad_height = 15; //--&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/script&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In recent weeks the Iranians have taken to the streets in protest over the recently stolen election. The Iranian people have shown the courage and fortitude to stand up to the dishonorable bullies of the mullah regime. They are fighting back and demanding their freedom and liberty. This is good for two reasons, first: all despots will fall in waste bin of history and freedom will prevail. Second, as the "bell" of liberty is ringing the people of Iran are answering the call with courage. So I hope that the despots in the democratic party and in other countries take note, their days of bullying are over.  In closing I hope the progressives and liberals take note the people in this country are also here the liberty "bell" call and we will also answer. In other-words take heed, what happens in Iran will happen here to the communist "mullahs" of the democratic party.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;script type="text/javascript" src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/script&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6166481324096247560-2315579010516210402?l=politicalcommonsmarts.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://politicalcommonsmarts.blogspot.com/feeds/2315579010516210402/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6166481324096247560&amp;postID=2315579010516210402' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6166481324096247560/posts/default/2315579010516210402'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6166481324096247560/posts/default/2315579010516210402'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://politicalcommonsmarts.blogspot.com/2009/06/iranian-uprising.html' title='Iranian uprising'/><author><name>Terry Ray Williams</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02587886902299747851</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6166481324096247560.post-4521448787834064942</id><published>2009-05-21T18:30:00.000-06:00</published><updated>2009-06-16T00:46:44.221-06:00</updated><title type='text'>Dear Olbermann (you commie loving piece of white trash)</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://www.zimbio.com/member/terryfordist75"&gt; &lt;img alt="My Zimbio" title="My Zimbio" src="http://www.zimbio.com/images/badges/badgeBlue.png?u=terryfordist75" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a style="margin-top: 2px; display: block; font-size: 11px; padding-left: 10px; color: rgb(36, 67, 102);" href="http://www.zimbio.com/"&gt; Top Stories &lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://technorati.com/faves?sub=addfavbtn&amp;amp;add=http://politicalcommonsmarts.blogspot.com"&gt;&lt;img src="http://static.technorati.com/pix/fave/btn-fave2.png" alt="Add to Technorati Favorites" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/CommonSenseInPolitics"&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/%7Efc/CommonSenseInPolitics?bg=99CCFF&amp;amp;fg=444444&amp;amp;anim=0" style="border: 0pt none ;" alt="" width="88" height="26" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.blogengage.com/user.php?login=USERNAME&amp;amp;view=shaken"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.yoursourceforinfo.com/blogengage/images/blog_engage_promo_1.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;&lt;!-- google_ad_client = "pub-9256733631687871"; /* 728x90, created 9/2/08 */ google_ad_slot = "8622544376"; google_ad_width = 728; google_ad_height = 90; //--&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/script&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;script type="text/javascript" src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/script&gt;&lt;a href="http://unite.blogcatalog.com/" title="Bloggers Unite - Blogging For Hope"&gt;&lt;img src="http://assets.blogcatalog.com/unite/badges/081201/bu_aids_badge1.gif" alt="Bloggers Unite" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;img src="http://socialspark.com/images/claimdot.gif" alt="ss_blog_claim=88887e159c197230d43e202786904fb3" /&gt;&lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;&lt;!-- google_ad_client = "pub-9256733631687871"; /* 728x15, created 2/16/09 */ google_ad_slot = "3797538670"; google_ad_width = 728; google_ad_height = 15; //--&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/script&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In my other blog articles I wrote regular articles on subject I'm concerned about.

We are not radicals, we are not racists, and we are not homophobes, WE ARE AMERICANS! You have called yourself a satirist (like your white trash comrade Al Frankenstein), well you are not funny.  You are in fact dishonorable, disrespectful, disreputable, and not worthy of being an American, much less have ANY air time in this country. Since you have no honor I will from now-on refer to you as Keith Dolbermann, Because as far as I'm concerned you are a nothing but a trailer trash dog who belongs in a pound.

In that collapse the scout was paralyzed from the waist down. The doctors say it's "permanent" I disagree, here's why. First, and I know this sounds cold, but of all times to have a catastrophic spinal injury, now is the best time for that. In other-words this current time is the best time for the Dallas Cowboys scout to be "permanently" paralyzed, because never before in human history have we been this close to curing spinal injuries. Second, in an online report, NASA is currently working on a tri-corder type device that will detect any environmental pathogen within minutes instead of hours or days. This device is a start, but I believe that we need to improve on this to allow this device to also detect injuries and other diseases. By improving this device we can be able to lower the price of health-care, because this idea take all of the medical testing machines and put them into one efficient portable device. This, plus the other ideas I lay out in part 1 are the only way to lower the price of health-care. What Barack Obama wants will not work, because it only artificially lowers the price without addressing the real problems of taxes, inefficient tech, etc.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;script type="text/javascript" src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/script&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6166481324096247560-8200917388656081627?l=politicalcommonsmarts.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://politicalcommonsmarts.blogspot.com/feeds/8200917388656081627/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6166481324096247560&amp;postID=8200917388656081627' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6166481324096247560/posts/default/8200917388656081627'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6166481324096247560/posts/default/8200917388656081627'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://politicalcommonsmarts.blogspot.com/2009/05/healthcare-why-no-candidate-has-right.html' title='Healthcare, Part 2 ( the Tech we Need to Lower Health-care Price)'/><author><name>Terry Ray Williams</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02587886902299747851</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6166481324096247560.post-5320067654125421210</id><published>2009-05-13T01:12:00.000-06:00</published><updated>2009-05-13T01:14:11.997-06:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='science'/><title type='text'>CERN ( the way to a new fuel)</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://www.zimbio.com/member/terryfordist75"&gt; &lt;img alt="My Zimbio" title="My Zimbio" src="http://www.zimbio.com/images/badges/badgeBlue.png?u=terryfordist75" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a style="margin-top: 2px; display: block; font-size: 11px; padding-left: 10px; color: rgb(36, 67, 102);" href="http://www.zimbio.com/"&gt; Top Stories &lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://technorati.com/faves?sub=addfavbtn&amp;amp;add=http://politicalcommonsmarts.blogspot.com"&gt;&lt;img src="http://static.technorati.com/pix/fave/btn-fave2.png" alt="Add to Technorati Favorites" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/CommonSenseInPolitics"&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/%7Efc/CommonSenseInPolitics?bg=99CCFF&amp;amp;fg=444444&amp;amp;anim=0" style="border: 0pt none ;" alt="" width="88" height="26" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.blogengage.com/user.php?login=USERNAME&amp;amp;view=shaken"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.yoursourceforinfo.com/blogengage/images/blog_engage_promo_1.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;&lt;!-- google_ad_client = "pub-9256733631687871"; /* 728x90, created 9/2/08 */ google_ad_slot = "8622544376"; google_ad_width = 728; google_ad_height = 90; //--&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/script&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;script type="text/javascript" src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/script&gt;&lt;a href="http://unite.blogcatalog.com/" title="Bloggers Unite - Blogging For Hope"&gt;&lt;img src="http://assets.blogcatalog.com/unite/badges/081201/bu_aids_badge1.gif" alt="Bloggers Unite" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;img src="http://socialspark.com/images/claimdot.gif" alt="ss_blog_claim=88887e159c197230d43e202786904fb3" /&gt;&lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;&lt;!-- google_ad_client = "pub-9256733631687871"; /* 728x15, created 2/16/09 */ google_ad_slot = "3797538670"; google_ad_width = 728; google_ad_height = 15; //--&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/script&gt;In this time of high gas prices the promoters of so called "Green Fuel" programs have a Conflict of interest because they are doing this only because they stand to make tons of money. Programs like corn ethanol, solar energy, and wind power. While these new fuels are clean they are NOT the fuel of the future. The real "fuel of the future" is anti-matter. Currently the most &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;efficient&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; fuel source is nuclear at approx. 2% &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;efficient&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;. Anti-matter however is 100% &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"&gt;&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"&gt;efficient&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; that's right 100% &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3"&gt;&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3"&gt;efficient&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;. Here's an comparison between anti-matter and nuclear. With nuclear power only 2 % of all the matter is converted to energy. the still leaves 98% of the total matter which is nuclear waste. However, anti-matter, when "mixed with an equal amount of matter", converts &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4"&gt;all&lt;/span&gt; the matter into energy in a massive explosion. To put this in perspective 1 teaspoon of anti-matter is enough to sent the space shuttle into orbit 60 times or, if I r&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5"&gt;&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4"&gt;emember&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; right, power all of New York City for a year. Right now the only problem with anti-matter is the cost to make it. Example: it would bankrupt the United States to make just one teaspoon of it. However with labs like &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6"&gt;&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5"&gt;CERN&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; or the &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7"&gt;&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6"&gt;Fermilab&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; building bigger and bigger &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8"&gt;&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7"&gt;supercoliders&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; and findings ways to more &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9"&gt;efficiently&lt;/span&gt; make anti-matter the price is dramatically declining and will continue to do so until it becomes affordable to make. The bad news about this is that like all technologies there are groups who would like to weapon this and if a terrorist got enough anti-matter and matter that was the equivalent of an average person they could destroy an entire &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_10"&gt;Continent&lt;/span&gt; like North America. This is the power and &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_11"&gt;efficiency&lt;/span&gt; of anti-matter and why we should allow &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_12"&gt;&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8"&gt;CERN&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; and other labs to build their &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_13"&gt;&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9"&gt;supercoliders&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;. &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_14"&gt;&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_10"&gt;Because&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; while it can be used for evil the &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_15"&gt;potential&lt;/span&gt; of good as a source of energy and fuel is &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_16"&gt;enormous&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;script type="text/javascript" src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/script&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6166481324096247560-5320067654125421210?l=politicalcommonsmarts.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://politicalcommonsmarts.blogspot.com/feeds/5320067654125421210/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6166481324096247560&amp;postID=5320067654125421210' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6166481324096247560/posts/default/5320067654125421210'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6166481324096247560/posts/default/5320067654125421210'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://politicalcommonsmarts.blogspot.com/2009/05/cern-way-to-new-fuel.html' title='CERN ( the way to a new fuel)'/><author><name>Terry Ray Williams</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02587886902299747851</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6166481324096247560.post-1014224925882912287</id><published>2009-05-13T01:11:00.000-06:00</published><updated>2009-05-13T01:15:57.458-06:00</updated><title type='text'>Global Warming (what's wrong with climate change?)</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://www.zimbio.com/member/terryfordist75"&gt; &lt;img alt="My Zimbio" title="My Zimbio" src="http://www.zimbio.com/images/badges/badgeBlue.png?u=terryfordist75" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a style="margin-top: 2px; display: block; font-size: 11px; padding-left: 10px; color: rgb(36, 67, 102);" href="http://www.zimbio.com/"&gt; Top Stories &lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://technorati.com/faves?sub=addfavbtn&amp;amp;add=http://politicalcommonsmarts.blogspot.com"&gt;&lt;img src="http://static.technorati.com/pix/fave/btn-fave2.png" alt="Add to Technorati Favorites" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/CommonSenseInPolitics"&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/%7Efc/CommonSenseInPolitics?bg=99CCFF&amp;amp;fg=444444&amp;amp;anim=0" style="border: 0pt none ;" alt="" width="88" height="26" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.blogengage.com/user.php?login=USERNAME&amp;amp;view=shaken"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.yoursourceforinfo.com/blogengage/images/blog_engage_promo_1.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;&lt;!-- google_ad_client = "pub-9256733631687871"; /* 728x90, created 9/2/08 */ google_ad_slot = "8622544376"; google_ad_width = 728; google_ad_height = 90; //--&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/script&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;script type="text/javascript" src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/script&gt;&lt;a href="http://unite.blogcatalog.com/" title="Bloggers Unite - Blogging For Hope"&gt;&lt;img src="http://assets.blogcatalog.com/unite/badges/081201/bu_aids_badge1.gif" alt="Bloggers Unite" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;img src="http://socialspark.com/images/claimdot.gif" alt="ss_blog_claim=88887e159c197230d43e202786904fb3" /&gt;&lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;&lt;!-- google_ad_client = "pub-9256733631687871"; /* 728x15, created 2/16/09 */ google_ad_slot = "3797538670"; google_ad_width = 728; google_ad_height = 15; //--&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/script&gt;&lt;br /&gt;               &lt;div class="post-body"&gt;  &lt;div&gt;       In the past decade the people have been told we must lower carbon dioxide to prevent climate change. While I agree that we should clean up our messes we make and that we should not pollute, there is scientific evidence and fossil records that show global warming is actually a good thing and here's why. First the warmer the planet gets the longer the growing season which means more food. Second with global warming earth experiences fewer devastating storms than during global cooling. Third with global warming the number of diseases goes down and all animal life gets healthier. Now with that said what we are seeing is nothing compared to what the Earth has experienced in it's geological past. Ever since the formation of our planet the Earth would experience a 10 degree temperature swings, i.e. 5 degree yearly increases and 5 degree yearly decreases with carbon dioxide levels many times higher than today. Environmentalists have claimed that this 3 degree temperature rise is not natural. They are right and this is why. This static climate we've seen for the past 10,000 years is not natural. From all of geological record the temperature changes are supposed to be greater and we are supposed to have more climate change than we've seen. Fourth, this 3 degree temperature rise we're seeing was last seen from 900 to 1300 AD. The only difference between then and now (other than technology) is that we have a weakening magnetic field in the process of reversing which has not happened (according to geologists &amp;amp; vulcanologists) in over 700,000 years. The problem with this is that no one know exactly what the effects will be. Prevailing theory is that during the process not only will auroras be seen everywhere but we will also have 4 poles (north,south,east, and west) and cancer rates will rise other than this no one knows how bad it could get. So the question I'm asking is this, " With the increasing number of earthquakes and volcanic eruptions and the "'strange weather"' could the weakening of Earth magnetic field and eventual reversal have anything to do with what we are seeing"? That people is the question we need to ask.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;script type="text/javascript" src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/script&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6166481324096247560-1014224925882912287?l=politicalcommonsmarts.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://politicalcommonsmarts.blogspot.com/feeds/1014224925882912287/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6166481324096247560&amp;postID=1014224925882912287' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6166481324096247560/posts/default/1014224925882912287'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6166481324096247560/posts/default/1014224925882912287'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://politicalcommonsmarts.blogspot.com/2009/05/global-warming-whats-wrong-with-climate.html' title='Global Warming (what&apos;s wrong with climate change?)'/><author><name>Terry Ray Williams</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02587886902299747851</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6166481324096247560.post-5870456947552144949</id><published>2009-04-11T03:42:00.000-06:00</published><updated>2009-04-11T22:00:20.996-06:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Red Skelton'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='the Pledge'/><title type='text'>The Meaning of the Pledge (as told by Red Skelton)</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://www.zimbio.com/member/terryfordist75"&gt; &lt;img alt="My Zimbio" title="My Zimbio" src="http://www.zimbio.com/images/badges/badgeBlue.png?u=terryfordist75" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a style="margin-top: 2px; display: block; font-size: 11px; padding-left: 10px; color: rgb(36, 67, 102);" href="http://www.zimbio.com/"&gt; Top Stories &lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://technorati.com/faves?sub=addfavbtn&amp;amp;add=http://politicalcommonsmarts.blogspot.com"&gt;&lt;img src="http://static.technorati.com/pix/fave/btn-fave2.png" alt="Add to Technorati Favorites" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/CommonSenseInPolitics"&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/%7Efc/CommonSenseInPolitics?bg=99CCFF&amp;amp;fg=444444&amp;amp;anim=0" style="border: 0pt none ;" alt="" width="88" height="26" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.blogengage.com/user.php?login=USERNAME&amp;amp;view=shaken"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.yoursourceforinfo.com/blogengage/images/blog_engage_promo_1.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;&lt;!-- google_ad_client = "pub-9256733631687871"; /* 728x90, created 9/2/08 */ google_ad_slot = "8622544376"; google_ad_width = 728; google_ad_height = 90; //--&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/script&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;script type="text/javascript" src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/script&gt;&lt;a href="http://unite.blogcatalog.com/" title="Bloggers Unite - Blogging For Hope"&gt;&lt;img src="http://assets.blogcatalog.com/unite/badges/081201/bu_aids_badge1.gif" alt="Bloggers Unite" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;img src="http://socialspark.com/images/claimdot.gif" alt="ss_blog_claim=88887e159c197230d43e202786904fb3" /&gt;&lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;&lt;!-- google_ad_client = "pub-9256733631687871"; /* 728x15, created 2/16/09 */ google_ad_slot = "3797538670"; google_ad_width = 728; google_ad_height = 15; //--&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/script&gt;In these days of liberal fascism some question the use of the pledge in schools. Here is the best reason as told by comedian Red Skelton as he quoted his teacher. "I've been listening to you boys and girls recite the Pledge of Allegiance all semester, and it seems as though it is becoming monotonous to you. If I may, may I recite it  and try to explain the meaning of each word? '" &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;I&lt;/span&gt;: me ,an individual, a committee of one. &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Pledge&lt;/span&gt;: dedicate all of my worldly goods to give without self pity. &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Allegiance&lt;/span&gt;: my love and my devotion. &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;To the Flag&lt;/span&gt;: Our standard, Old glory, a symbol of freedom. Wherever she waves, there's respect because your loyalty has given her a dignity that shouts freedom is everybody's job! &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;United&lt;/span&gt;: that means that we have all come together. &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;States&lt;/span&gt;: individual communities that have united into 48 great states. Forty-eight individual communities with pride and dignity and purpose; all divided with imaginary boundaries, yet united with a common purpose, and that's love for country.&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt; And to the Republic&lt;/span&gt;: a state in which sovereign power is invested by representatives chosen by the people to govern. And the government is the people and it's from the people to the leaders, not from the leaders to the people. &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;For which it stands one nation:&lt;/span&gt; one nation, meaning "so blessed by God". &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Indivisible:&lt;/span&gt; incapable of being divided. &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;With liberty:&lt;/span&gt; which is freedom -- the right of power to live one's own life without threat, fear or some sort of retaliation.&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt; And justice&lt;/span&gt;: the principle or quality of dealing fairly with others. &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;For all;&lt;/span&gt; which means, boys and girls, it's as much your country as it is mine."'

Here are a few reasons why we need NASA and manned space exploration. 1.( assumption: NASA contributes nothing to our advancement). This assumption is wrong in many ways, first lets think of a few advances and technologies that have been made in the last 30 years. Advancement number 1 fire fighting SCBAs, without the NASA moon missions fire fighters would not have the ability to enter burning buildings like they do now. The breathing apparatus they wear were modeled from the air tanks astronauts like Neil Armstrong wore on the moon. Advancement 2) GPS: without NASA and without the manned space program we would not have this technology we take for granted and here is why. First it was NASA that sent America's first satellite into space. Second it take astronauts to maintain these GPS satellites or in otherwords without the manned space program there would be no GPS. Another reason to keep NASA and manned exploration is this. One day our sun will exhaust it fuel when that happens (in a few billion years) the only way to survive will to leave our solar system. Third it is our nature to set foot in new lands whether here on Earth or in space. This is what make us human, the need to to seek out and explore new areas of our planet and new reaches of our universe. Another statement against manned space exploration is that it is dangerous. This is true, but any exploration whether on Earth or in space is inherently dangerous. So, to end manned exploration because of the danger is like telling Christopher Columbus that he cannot go to the New World because it is dangerous. Had Spanish queen Isabella said this there would have been no United States and we would still be taught the Earth is flat. But because she allowed and financed the trip we now have knowledge and countries that did not exist before Columbus's trip. In closing I say that we must continue NASA and manned exploration because it is in our nature to explore and it is what makes us human.&lt;script type="text/javascript" src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/script&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6166481324096247560-7445408406010253231?l=politicalcommonsmarts.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://politicalcommonsmarts.blogspot.com/feeds/7445408406010253231/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6166481324096247560&amp;postID=7445408406010253231' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6166481324096247560/posts/default/7445408406010253231'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6166481324096247560/posts/default/7445408406010253231'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://politicalcommonsmarts.blogspot.com/2009/02/nasapart-1-why-we-must-continue-manned.html' title='Nasa,Part 1, Why we must continue the manned space program'/><author><name>Terry Ray Williams</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02587886902299747851</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6166481324096247560.post-8356741654807605308</id><published>2009-02-26T23:22:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-02-27T22:37:29.558-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Overpopulation'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Nasa'/><title type='text'>NASA, Part 2, ( Why Manned Exploration is Vital to National Security)</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://www.zimbio.com/member/terryfordist75"&gt; &lt;img alt="My Zimbio" title="My Zimbio" src="http://www.zimbio.com/images/badges/badgeBlue.png?u=terryfordist75" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a style="margin-top: 2px; display: block; font-size: 11px; padding-left: 10px; color: rgb(36, 67, 102);" href="http://www.zimbio.com/"&gt;Top Stories &lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://technorati.com/faves?sub=addfavbtn&amp;amp;add=http://politicalcommonsmarts.blogspot.com"&gt;&lt;img src="http://static.technorati.com/pix/fave/btn-fave2.png" alt="Add to Technorati Favorites" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/CommonSenseInPolitics"&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/%7Efc/CommonSenseInPolitics?bg=99CCFF&amp;amp;fg=444444&amp;amp;anim=0" style="border: 0pt none ;" alt="" width="88" height="26" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.blogengage.com/user.php?login=USERNAME&amp;amp;view=shaken"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.yoursourceforinfo.com/blogengage/images/blog_engage_promo_1.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;&lt;!-- google_ad_client = "pub-9256733631687871"; /* 728x90, created 9/2/08 */ google_ad_slot = "8622544376"; google_ad_width = 728; google_ad_height = 90; //--&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/script&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;script type="text/javascript" src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/script&gt;&lt;a href="http://unite.blogcatalog.com/" title="Bloggers Unite - Blogging For Hope"&gt;&lt;img src="http://assets.blogcatalog.com/unite/badges/081201/bu_aids_badge1.gif" alt="Bloggers Unite" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;img src="http://socialspark.com/images/claimdot.gif" alt="ss_blog_claim=88887e159c197230d43e202786904fb3" /&gt;&lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;&lt;!-- google_ad_client = "pub-9256733631687871"; /* 728x15, created 2/16/09 */ google_ad_slot = "3797538670"; google_ad_width = 728; google_ad_height = 15; //--&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/script&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As the World's population nears 7 billion people it is, in my opinion, vital to national security to in the NASA budget for manned exploration and future colonization. And here's why: First, as we near 7 billion people it is going to get harder to feed everyone, because like everything else in nature overpopulation puts a serious strain on the Earth. Second when an animal group( i.e. deer, moose, lion, etc.) gets overpopulated nature takes over and begins to kill off the excess animal population with hunger and disease. This occurs because with overpopulation the food dwindle to below sustainable amounts which causes the starvation and eventually disease. Now what does this have to do with the human population? The easy answer is: everything, because as we near 7 billion people we are becoming over populated and the proof of this are the famines that are occurring in Africa (among other factors). Third, the Earth is not, in my opinion, going to be able to sustain 8 or 9 billion people without negative consequences. So the only option is manned exploration and colonization, because to stay only on one planet is suicidal for us as a species. Dr. Michio Kaku in one of his books( either Hyperspace or Physics of the Impossible) he talks about the need of us to find and colonize other worlds. Finally as I said in my blog article "NASA, Part1, Why we Must Continue the Manned Space Program" it is in our human nature to not only explore, but to also set foot on, and colonize other lands and other worlds. This is what makes us human and what drives us to the future. So in conclusion the answer to the human popualtion is manned exploration and colonization of space.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;script type="text/javascript" src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/script&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6166481324096247560-8356741654807605308?l=politicalcommonsmarts.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://politicalcommonsmarts.blogspot.com/feeds/8356741654807605308/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6166481324096247560&amp;postID=8356741654807605308' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6166481324096247560/posts/default/8356741654807605308'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6166481324096247560/posts/default/8356741654807605308'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://politicalcommonsmarts.blogspot.com/2009/02/nasa-part-2-why-manned-exploration-is.html' title='NASA, Part 2, ( Why Manned Exploration is Vital to National Security)'/><author><name>Terry Ray Williams</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02587886902299747851</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6166481324096247560.post-3802757893747445660</id><published>2009-02-13T18:46:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-06-20T17:52:28.248-06:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='John McCain'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Liberal Republicans'/><title type='text'>Republican renewal in 2010 (Why McCain and Spector need to be defeated in the Republican primary)</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://www.zimbio.com/member/terryfordist75"&gt; &lt;img alt="My Zimbio" title="My Zimbio" src="http://www.zimbio.com/images/badges/badgeBlue.png?u=terryfordist75" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a style="margin-top: 2px; display: block; font-size: 11px; padding-left: 10px; color: rgb(36, 67, 102);" href="http://www.zimbio.com/"&gt;Top Stories &lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://technorati.com/faves?sub=addfavbtn&amp;amp;add=http://politicalcommonsmarts.blogspot.com"&gt;&lt;img src="http://static.technorati.com/pix/fave/btn-fave2.png" alt="Add to Technorati Favorites" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/CommonSenseInPolitics"&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/%7Efc/CommonSenseInPolitics?bg=99CCFF&amp;amp;fg=444444&amp;amp;anim=0" style="border: 0pt none ;" alt="" width="88" height="26" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.blogengage.com/user.php?login=USERNAME&amp;amp;view=shaken"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.yoursourceforinfo.com/blogengage/images/blog_engage_promo_1.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;&lt;!-- google_ad_client = "pub-9256733631687871"; /* 728x90, created 9/2/08 */ google_ad_slot = "8622544376"; google_ad_width = 728; google_ad_height = 90; //--&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/script&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;script type="text/javascript" src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/script&gt;&lt;script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.blogcatalog.com/w/search.php?id=4454924"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;Now that Senators John McCain and Arlen Specter are coming up for reelection  I think it is time for conservative Republicans in Arizona and Pennsylvania to boot both McCain and Specter from the Senate and here's why. First John McCain is out only for himself and the proof of this is the first stimulus bill that he voted for. The vast majority of Americans did not want a stimulus with no oversight. John McCain in suspending his campaign and voting for this bill  in 2008 he told the American people that he did not care what the voters wanted, that he was going to give the former Secretary of Treasury exactly what he wanted. He acts like he was lied to when it came out what the banks were really doing with the so called "bailout" money, but if you remember former Secretary of Treasury Paulson said that he did not want any oversight (meaning that he did not want the people to know what he really intended, and that was the scandalous CEO perks and spa trip spending that occurred). In one of my previous post I talk about the need to remove people like John McCain at the primary ballot box. The need for real change, the need for real Conservatism, and the need for a new Republican revolution is here and We the People must take advantage of it. In other-words We the People must show John McCain the door by replacing him with a true Conservative Republican. We need someone like former Rep. J.D. Hayworth to run against John McCain in the 2010 Arizona Senate primary. We also need someone like Lynn Swann to run against Phil Specter in the Pennsylvania Republican primary. Second, it is obvious that not only is Arlen Specter not a true conservative but he is willing to sale out his own values, principles, and beliefs just to be "friends". To me a person who sales out has no concept of loyalty, of having principle, or of standing for what's right. Finally, a waffler who, "swims with the current" on principles, or sales out is not only a coward, but is not to &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;ever&lt;/span&gt;, be trusted. Now is the time we Conservatives can begin to take back our party and begin to remove people like John McCain, Arlen Specter, Susan  Collins, and Olympia Snowe. Because We the People must remind these liberal Republicans that the initials in the name United States are U.S. or us, Meaning We the People own this Government. In closing I leave all the People with this quote:" In matters of principle stand like a rock; in matters of taste swim with the current." Thomas Jefferson.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6166481324096247560-3802757893747445660?l=politicalcommonsmarts.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://politicalcommonsmarts.blogspot.com/feeds/3802757893747445660/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6166481324096247560&amp;postID=3802757893747445660' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6166481324096247560/posts/default/3802757893747445660'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6166481324096247560/posts/default/3802757893747445660'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://politicalcommonsmarts.blogspot.com/2009/02/republican-renewal-in-2010-why-john.html' title='Republican renewal in 2010 (Why McCain and Spector need to be defeated in the Republican primary)'/><author><name>Terry Ray Williams</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02587886902299747851</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6166481324096247560.post-3010018386623976057</id><published>2009-01-07T18:48:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-06-20T17:39:13.343-06:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='War on Terror'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Jews'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Isreal'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Democrats'/><title type='text'>The Democratic Party ( the party of evil and traitors)</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://www.zimbio.com/member/terryfordist75"&gt;&lt;img title="My Zimbio" alt="My Zimbio" src="http://www.zimbio.com/images/badges/badgeBlue.png?u=terryfordist75" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Top Stories &lt;a href="http://technorati.com/faves?sub=addfavbtn&amp;amp;add=http://politicalcommonsmarts.blogspot.com"&gt;&lt;img alt="Add to Technorati Favorites" src="http://static.technorati.com/pix/fave/btn-fave2.png" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/CommonSenseInPolitics"&gt;&lt;img style="border: 0px none ;" alt="" src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/%7Efc/CommonSenseInPolitics?bg=99CCFF&amp;amp;fg=444444&amp;amp;anim=0" width="88" height="26" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.blogengage.com/user.php?login=USERNAME&amp;amp;view=shaken"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.yoursourceforinfo.com/blogengage/images/blog_engage_promo_1.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a title="Bloggers Unite - Blogging For Hope" href="http://unite.blogcatalog.com/"&gt;&lt;img alt="Bloggers Unite" src="http://assets.blogcatalog.com/unite/badges/081201/bu_aids_badge1.gif" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;img alt="ss_blog_claim=" src="http://socialspark.com/images/claimdot.gif" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Isn't it interesting that the only people who claim to be for peace are the Democrats, yet when a hostile nation attacks an ally they personally attack the ally. The hostile nation I speak of are the muslims in the Palestinian terrtories and the ally I speak of is Isreal. When the Facists of Hamas launch an unprovoked attack against Isreal do the liberals criticize Hamas? No, they condemn Isreal for retaliating and they call Hamas heroes. This kind of treachery shows the fact that the Democratic party hates Jews and despises the U.S. They call America and Isreal evil they applaud the deaths of Americans who disagree with them. The attitude of these Liberals is no better than the Nazis, the Muslim terrorists or Joseph Stalin. They have no regard for humanity or the American people. They believe that Democracy is for the weak and capitolists are evil when the truth is they ( the Democratic party is evil). The proof of the liberal hatred of Jews, for example, is on the HuffingtonPost.com where all liberals who post on it talk about bringing back the holocaust. The proof of the liberal hatred of America and the American people is the fact that, first, everything that liberals talk about is how much they hate America and how much they wish we would lose the war on terror. Meaning that they wish we were conquered. Second Liberals consistently talk about how President Bush "stole" the 2000 election. The truth is only democrats steal elections (which to me is pure treason). What gets me is why do American Jews vote Democrat when the Democratic party hates all Jews: case in point, look at what they did to Senator Liberman. Finally like the Communists they are all Democrats put loyalty to party above loyalty to the People or the Nation. This is why these evil traitors must be brought out into the open and squashed like the insects they are. Because these people (and I use the term 'people' lightly) have nothing but treason in their hearts and hatred in their minds. So it is time the Jews of America realize who their true friends are, the Conservatives in the Republican Party. And it is time to let Isreal and the U.S. destroy, forever, Hamas, Hezbollah, and all terror organizations.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6166481324096247560-3010018386623976057?l=politicalcommonsmarts.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://politicalcommonsmarts.blogspot.com/feeds/3010018386623976057/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6166481324096247560&amp;postID=3010018386623976057' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6166481324096247560/posts/default/3010018386623976057'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6166481324096247560/posts/default/3010018386623976057'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://politicalcommonsmarts.blogspot.com/2009/01/democratic-party-party-of-evil-and.html' title='The Democratic Party ( the party of evil and traitors)'/><author><name>Terry Ray Williams</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02587886902299747851</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6166481324096247560.post-8923314188198177306</id><published>2008-12-01T16:32:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-02-22T22:29:15.669-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Aids'/><title type='text'>Aids (the Politically Correct Disease)</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://www.zimbio.com/member/terryfordist75"&gt;&lt;img title="My Zimbio" alt="My Zimbio" src="http://www.zimbio.com/images/badges/badgeBlue.png?u=terryfordist75" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Top Stories &lt;a href="http://technorati.com/faves?sub=addfavbtn&amp;amp;add=http://politicalcommonsmarts.blogspot.com"&gt;&lt;img alt="Add to Technorati Favorites" src="http://static.technorati.com/pix/fave/btn-fave2.png" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/CommonSenseInPolitics"&gt;&lt;img style="border: 0px none ;" alt="" src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/%7Efc/CommonSenseInPolitics?bg=99CCFF&amp;amp;fg=444444&amp;amp;anim=0" width="88" height="26" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.blogengage.com/user.php?login=USERNAME&amp;amp;view=shaken"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.yoursourceforinfo.com/blogengage/images/blog_engage_promo_1.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a title="Bloggers Unite - Blogging For Hope" href="http://unite.blogcatalog.com/"&gt;&lt;img alt="Bloggers Unite" src="http://assets.blogcatalog.com/unite/badges/081201/bu_aids_badge1.gif" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With today being World Aids Day I must say that the problem I have with Aids research is this. Like breast cancer, it is not the number one killer (which is heart disease), but it receives 800 million dollars more in funding according to the National Institutes of Health's website &lt;a href="http://www.nih.gov/news/fundingresearchareas.htm"&gt;www.nih.gov/news/fundingresearchareas.htm&lt;/a&gt;. However, while its my opinion that most of the Aids patients are people who knowingly did things that gave them Aids, there are innocent victims. These are the people I think should be helped and here's why. First A person who is a chronic drug user, to me, should not be helped. Second, prostitutes sleep around knowing these risks and their "Johns" are no better. Anyone who has sex should wear a condom if they don't they deserve what they get. but if they, an Aids patient, knowingly give their partner Aids they should be charged with murder. Now this sounds cruel and cold-hearted, but when a drunk needs a liver transplant he or she must stop drinking before getting a new liver. The idea here is the same: "If you don't want Aids don't do risky behavior like drugs or sleeping around". The real victims are kids and people who got aids through no fault of their own such as an unfaithful spouse, a contaminated blood transfusion or are born with it. These victims did nothing risky, such as prostitution or drugs, but got the disease anyway. These Aids patients are the ones I feel sorry for because they got this disease through no fault of their own and they should be helped. The good news is researchers are now looking at cancer treatment as a new way to treat Aids. If that is successful we should have limits those who are given this treatment, just like the limits on liver transplants. Finally, I don't think that funding should be based on politics rather I think it should be based on need.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6166481324096247560-8923314188198177306?l=politicalcommonsmarts.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://politicalcommonsmarts.blogspot.com/feeds/8923314188198177306/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6166481324096247560&amp;postID=8923314188198177306' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6166481324096247560/posts/default/8923314188198177306'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6166481324096247560/posts/default/8923314188198177306'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://politicalcommonsmarts.blogspot.com/2008/12/aids-politically-correct-disease.html' title='Aids (the Politically Correct Disease)'/><author><name>Terry Ray Williams</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02587886902299747851</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6166481324096247560.post-2311981018450356656</id><published>2008-11-10T15:06:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-12-04T23:46:59.031-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Refugees'/><title type='text'>The African Refugee Crisis ( Why we Need Courage and not Cowardise)</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://www.zimbio.com/member/terryfordist75"&gt;&lt;img title="My Zimbio" alt="My Zimbio" src="http://www.zimbio.com/images/badges/badgeBlue.png?u=terryfordist75" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Top Stories &lt;a href="http://technorati.com/faves?sub=addfavbtn&amp;amp;add=http://politicalcommonsmarts.blogspot.com"&gt;&lt;img alt="Add to Technorati Favorites" src="http://static.technorati.com/pix/fave/btn-fave2.png" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/CommonSenseInPolitics"&gt;&lt;img style="BORDER-RIGHT: 0px; BORDER-TOP: 0px; BORDER-LEFT: 0px; BORDER-BOTTOM: 0px" height="26" alt="" src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~fc/CommonSenseInPolitics?bg=99CCFF&amp;amp;fg=444444&amp;amp;anim=0" width="88" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.blogengage.com/user.php?login=USERNAME&amp;amp;view=shaken"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.yoursourceforinfo.com/blogengage/images/blog_engage_promo_1.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;&lt;!-- google_ad_client = "pub-9256733631687871"; /* 728x90, created 9/2/08 */ google_ad_slot = "8622544376"; google_ad_width = 728; google_ad_height = 90; //--&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/script&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a title="Bloggers Unite - Blogging For Hope" href="http://unite.blogcatalog.com/"&gt;&lt;img alt="Bloggers Unite" src="http://assets.blogcatalog.com/unite/badges/081110/refugeesunite_2.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The African Refugee crisis is the moral crisis of our century and a moral crisis that needs to end. In a recent election Zimbabwean President Mugabe fraudulently won an election based on violence, fear, and intimidation. While in the Sudan dishonorable dictator Omar Al-Bashir has continued to rule with a murderous iron fist. And they are not alone, another tyrant regime is the nation of Eritrea which is aiding Al-Qaeda group Al-Shabaab and has given safe sancuary to terrorist Shiek Hassan Dahir Aweys. Which by doing so is in absolute, complete, and obvious violation of United Nations Res. 1368. These nations represent a growing threat to all nations of the world. By allowing these bullies to get away with the torture, oppression, and murder of their people the cowards of the world like Russia and China are saying that they care more about trade then they do the people being harmed. By allowing these bullies to continue their dishonorable ways we are saying that they are not accountable for their actions. This ladies and gentlemen must stop. We must stand up to these bullies and bring them to justice and here's how. The world must support the people of these tyrant nations by the following: First, giving the aid only and directly to the people and not the governments. Second, all nations of the World must stop all trade and enact sanctions against these bullies. Third, these bully nations must be banned from all UN committees and the nations of the world must stand united against all tyrants. The solution to this moral crisis is simply one word: "courage". Moral and physical courage to take a stand against Sudan, Zimbabwe, and Eritrea. Because only through our courage to stand up against these bullies will all tyrants know and realize that there is no room on this planet for bullies. So for tyrants Mugabe,Al-bashir, and Afwerki I leave you with these quotes: "Freedom is the natural condition of the human race, in which the Almighty intended men to live. Those who fight the purposes of the Almighty will not succeed. They always have been, they always will be defeated". - President Abraham Lincoln. The final quote is: "When in the course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another..... We hold these truths to be self evident, that all people are created equal, that they are endowed by their creator with certain inalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their powers from the consent of the governed, that whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends it is the right of the People to alter or abolish it.... But when a long train of abuses and usurptions, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them to absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new guards for their future security."- the US Declaration of Independence. In Conclusion we must do all we can including the pressuring of our governments to cut off complete and all ties to these bully nations, and we must let these tyrants know that we will, as Senator McCain said, "make them famous" for their dirty and dishonorable deeds. We must also demand sanctions, political and economic, be placed against bully nations like Sudan, Zimbabwe, and Eritrea. Only through these action will the bullies Mugabe, Afwerki,and Al-Bashir get the message that their days of bullying are over.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6166481324096247560-2311981018450356656?l=politicalcommonsmarts.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://politicalcommonsmarts.blogspot.com/feeds/2311981018450356656/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6166481324096247560&amp;postID=2311981018450356656' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6166481324096247560/posts/default/2311981018450356656'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6166481324096247560/posts/default/2311981018450356656'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://politicalcommonsmarts.blogspot.com/2008/11/african-refugee-crisis-why-we-need_10.html' title='The African Refugee Crisis ( Why we Need Courage and not Cowardise)'/><author><name>Terry Ray Williams</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02587886902299747851</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6166481324096247560.post-8090926820032382841</id><published>2008-11-05T20:08:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-04-01T17:25:39.317-06:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Corruption'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Republicans'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Democrats'/><title type='text'>The Course to Republican Redemption</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://www.zimbio.com/member/terryfordist75"&gt;&lt;img title="My Zimbio" alt="My Zimbio" src="http://www.zimbio.com/images/badges/badgeBlue.png?u=terryfordist75" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Top Stories &lt;a href="http://technorati.com/faves?sub=addfavbtn&amp;amp;add=http://politicalcommonsmarts.blogspot.com"&gt;&lt;img alt="Add to Technorati Favorites" src="http://static.technorati.com/pix/fave/btn-fave2.png" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/CommonSenseInPolitics"&gt;&lt;img style="border: 0px none ;" alt="" src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/%7Efc/CommonSenseInPolitics?bg=99CCFF&amp;amp;fg=444444&amp;amp;anim=0" width="88" height="26" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.blogengage.com/user.php?login=USERNAME&amp;amp;view=shaken"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.yoursourceforinfo.com/blogengage/images/blog_engage_promo_1.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With the election of 2008 over the Republicans, and rightfully so, got spanked and they have no one to blame but themselves and here's why. &lt;strong&gt;We the people&lt;/strong&gt; put them(the Republicans) in power and they betrayed us by acting like Democrats. If we are to regain the majority the next chairman must call a press conference immediately and say: " We understand that you &lt;strong&gt;the people&lt;/strong&gt; own this country, that we serve you and not ourselves. You &lt;strong&gt;the people&lt;/strong&gt; put us in power in 1994 based on our promises. As a result we betrayed our promises, betrayed our conservative values, betrayed your trust, and betrayed &lt;strong&gt;you&lt;/strong&gt;. We have no one to blame but ourselves for our betrayal of &lt;strong&gt;you&lt;/strong&gt; and ultimate loss. For these betrayals we are sorry. And to prove that we're sincere we vow, not promise, to: expel all corrupt members, cut unnecessary spending, lower government controls, institute term limits, institute an honor code for party members, and increase military/space spending. We promise not to: increase spending on unnecessary projects, allow corruption in our party, betray our conservative values, or betray our promises or you. We further vow that we will only serve &lt;strong&gt;the people&lt;/strong&gt; and not "'special interest"'. We only ask that you forgive us and believe that we will completely clean house by removing the corrupt cancer in our ranks. We will only support clean, honorable candidates with integrity". Following the press conference the Republicans must then move to expel corrupt members like Ted Stevens and Duke Cunningham. And in 2010 the Republicans must then run only candidates who must vow not to take political or campaign gifts from anyone. Only through these actions will the Republican party be able to clean up its image. Only through the complete top to bottom house cleaning will &lt;strong&gt;the people&lt;/strong&gt; be able to trust the Republicans. Finally the Republicans must remember that if elected they cannot turn Democrat without dire consequences. If the Republican party fails to admit their betrayals they will never be believed again.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6166481324096247560-8090926820032382841?l=politicalcommonsmarts.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://politicalcommonsmarts.blogspot.com/feeds/8090926820032382841/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6166481324096247560&amp;postID=8090926820032382841' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6166481324096247560/posts/default/8090926820032382841'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6166481324096247560/posts/default/8090926820032382841'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://politicalcommonsmarts.blogspot.com/2008/11/course-to-republican-redemption.html' title='The Course to Republican Redemption'/><author><name>Terry Ray Williams</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02587886902299747851</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6166481324096247560.post-2019643528068579460</id><published>2008-11-01T20:36:00.000-06:00</published><updated>2009-06-20T17:46:24.181-06:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='gun laws'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='conservativeism'/><title type='text'>The fraud of Gun Control</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://www.zimbio.com/member/terryfordist75"&gt;&lt;img title="My Zimbio" alt="My Zimbio" src="http://www.zimbio.com/images/badges/badgeBlue.png?u=terryfordist75" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Top Stories &lt;a href="http://technorati.com/faves?sub=addfavbtn&amp;amp;add=http://politicalcommonsmarts.blogspot.com"&gt;&lt;img alt="Add to Technorati Favorites" src="http://static.technorati.com/pix/fave/btn-fave2.png" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/CommonSenseInPolitics"&gt;&lt;img style="border: 0px none ;" alt="" src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/%7Efc/CommonSenseInPolitics?bg=99CCFF&amp;amp;fg=444444&amp;amp;anim=0" width="88" height="26" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.blogengage.com/user.php?login=USERNAME&amp;amp;view=shaken"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.yoursourceforinfo.com/blogengage/images/blog_engage_promo_1.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On Halloween of 2008 a 12 year old boy, his father, and his siblings were shot while trick-or-treating at the house of an ex-convict. While his father and siblings survived tragically he, the 12 year old, did not. What makes this tragedy extremely aggravating is that the shooter was a convicted felon who should NEVER have had a gun to begin with. Everyday we here liberals talk about the "need" to keep guns away from dangerous felons. While I completely agree that no dangerous felon should ever have access to or own a gun, I for one am sick of the constant passing of laws with no intent of enforcement. If we are going to pass laws we must enforce them, Not pick and choose. This is what I call the "fraud of gun control" and here's why. First, every-time politicians get in their tiny brains to pass a law, they tell us its for "our protection" all the while knowing that they have no intention of ever enforcing the law. Second, is the example of border guards Ramos and Compean who were set up and betrayed by Johnny Sutton and liberal Republicans, who have made it known that they will not enforce the immigration laws in this country. Third, look at the banking crisis in this country, which was started by dishonorable people who through bribery and corruption refused to enforce banking laws so that they could get re-elected. It is because of this tragic death that WE THE PEOPLE must demand from our "elected officials" that they either start enforcing our law or tender their resignations. However if they refuse to enforce our laws and refuse to tender their resignations then I say lets kick the bums out in the primaries, because these tragic deaths must be stopped, our laws must be enforced, and felons like the felon who shot up a 12 year old trick-or-treater with an AK-47 need to be sent to prison for being in possession of a gun. Otherwise these deaths will continue to happen and remember that the difference between a conservative and a liberal, not a Republican and Democrat, is either we have law and order or we have anarchy.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6166481324096247560-2019643528068579460?l=politicalcommonsmarts.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://politicalcommonsmarts.blogspot.com/feeds/2019643528068579460/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6166481324096247560&amp;postID=2019643528068579460' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6166481324096247560/posts/default/2019643528068579460'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6166481324096247560/posts/default/2019643528068579460'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://politicalcommonsmarts.blogspot.com/2008/11/fraud-of-gun-control.html' title='The fraud of Gun Control'/><author><name>Terry Ray Williams</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02587886902299747851</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6166481324096247560.post-2725503130760752662</id><published>2008-10-27T23:03:00.000-06:00</published><updated>2009-04-01T17:29:20.858-06:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Corruption'/><title type='text'>The Conviction of Ted Stevens ( Good Riddance to Bad Rubbish)</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://www.zimbio.com/member/terryfordist75"&gt;&lt;img title="My Zimbio" alt="My Zimbio" src="http://www.zimbio.com/images/badges/badgeBlue.png?u=terryfordist75" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Top Stories &lt;a href="http://technorati.com/faves?sub=addfavbtn&amp;amp;add=http://politicalcommonsmarts.blogspot.com"&gt;&lt;img alt="Add to Technorati Favorites" src="http://static.technorati.com/pix/fave/btn-fave2.png" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/CommonSenseInPolitics"&gt;&lt;img style="border: 0px none ;" alt="" src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/%7Efc/CommonSenseInPolitics?bg=99CCFF&amp;amp;fg=444444&amp;amp;anim=0" width="88" height="26" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.blogengage.com/user.php?login=USERNAME&amp;amp;view=shaken"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.yoursourceforinfo.com/blogengage/images/blog_engage_promo_1.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;&lt;!-- google_ad_client = "pub-9256733631687871"; /* 728x90, created 9/2/08 */ google_ad_slot = "8622544376"; google_ad_width = 728; google_ad_height = 90; //--&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/script&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On Oct. 27 Alaska's Senator Ted Stevens was convicted on all counts of corruption that he has been charged with. I say this: " Good, I'm glad he got convicted" and here's why. As a conservative Republican I have had it up to my head with corrupt politicians who care only for themselves. These "people" have absolutely no honor, no character, and no integrity and like I said care only about their political advancements. My proof of this is; in an interview one of Alaska's "senators" said that the primary job of an elected official is to "bring in money for his or her state". This belief shows both the corruption, dishonor, and lack of integrity and ethics that the Republicans and liberal Democrats have. Second, in a news report about a congressional inquiry on the credit fraud crisis a "Republican" member openly pointed the finger at the CEO of one of the major banks that failed saying" obviously you know what your role here is". When I heard this I thought that if he were in my district I would never ever vote for him and sadly he was not alone. These dishonorable "people" do not represent us, they represent themselves and only themselves and that's why I see them only as low-life pimps. Third, Massachusetts scumbag Rep. Barney Franks in an ad lied to voters when he said he "tried to regulate Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac". The truth is he and other members like him in both parties are solely responsible for this economic crisis by accepting bribe money ( because true campaign donations have no strings attached) in exchange for complete deregulation and anarchy of the banking system. When I attempted unsuccessfully to run for Utah State House of Representative district 75, this is precisely the reason I promised myself that I would never take Any and I repeat ANY campaign funds and I never did. Fourth, by not taking Amy campaign funds I would never owe anyone, but the People, anything. In other words campaign funds as they are now always have strings attached and are no better then bribery. Fifth, corrupt politicians like Barney Frank, Ted Stevens, Chris Dodd and those who excuse this type of attitude like Orin hatch and Barack Obama can no longer be allowed to stay in office and must all be voted out. Sixth, I have no respect for anyone who either is corrupt or excuses corruption and here's why. In my opinion there is no room in this country for dishonor or corruption of any kind. However, if the conviction was ill-gotten and the prosecutor withheld evidence he should go straight to prison for obstruction of justice. Because no prosecutor in my opinion has the right to determine what evidence gets shown, that rests with the judge. I'm glad he got convicted and good riddance to bad rubbish, but if the conviction was dishonest then then the prosecuting attorney should go straight to prison. because like I said, there is no room in our society and no room in our country for dishonest, disreputable, dishonorable, corrupt officials. Finally, As I've said the corrupt belief that an elected officials job is to bring money to their states is wrong, because the number one job of any honorable elected official is to help and work for the PEOPLE and not "bring home the bacon".&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6166481324096247560-2725503130760752662?l=politicalcommonsmarts.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://politicalcommonsmarts.blogspot.com/feeds/2725503130760752662/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6166481324096247560&amp;postID=2725503130760752662' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6166481324096247560/posts/default/2725503130760752662'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6166481324096247560/posts/default/2725503130760752662'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://politicalcommonsmarts.blogspot.com/2008/10/conviction-of-ted-stevens-good-riddance.html' title='The Conviction of Ted Stevens ( Good Riddance to Bad Rubbish)'/><author><name>Terry Ray Williams</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02587886902299747851</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6166481324096247560.post-4874350972292815966</id><published>2008-09-28T01:58:00.000-06:00</published><updated>2008-10-17T17:43:19.465-06:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Politics'/><title type='text'>Always be concerned about a " Party Loyalist"</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://www.zimbio.com/member/terryfordist75"&gt;&lt;img title="My Zimbio" alt="My Zimbio" src="http://www.zimbio.com/images/badges/badgeBlue.png?u=terryfordist75" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Top Stories &lt;a href="http://technorati.com/faves?sub=addfavbtn&amp;amp;add=http://politicalcommonsmarts.blogspot.com"&gt;&lt;img alt="Add to Technorati Favorites" src="http://static.technorati.com/pix/fave/btn-fave2.png" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/CommonSenseInPolitics"&gt;&lt;img style="BORDER-RIGHT: 0px; BORDER-TOP: 0px; BORDER-LEFT: 0px; BORDER-BOTTOM: 0px" height="26" alt="" src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~fc/CommonSenseInPolitics?bg=99CCFF&amp;amp;fg=444444&amp;amp;anim=0" width="88" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.yoursourceforinfo.com/blogengage/images/blog_engage_promo_1.jpg" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In a recent interview President Clinton was asked who he thought would win this Presidential election. He answered by saying Obama after which he said " I'm a loyal Democrat". When I heard he said this I was concerned and here's why. As a Republican I must say that I am a loyal American FIRST and a loyal Republican second. Meaning that if it were to come to a choice of either party or country I would and will always chose my country over my party. Second, when I heard he said that I thought, "Well that's the problem with our country right there". there are too many "loyal Democrats", and too many " loyal Republicans" in our country. In otherwords, there are too many people who are more loyal to their party than they are to their country. When people are more loyal to their party then their country they are more likely to ( as we've seen with Congress) betray the people and their country. Recently Nancy Pelosi chastised the Republicans as not being "patriotic for not going to a meeting that they weren't invited to in the first place and so here's my responce. Speaker Pelosi, You are not patriotic, You have betrayed your country and You have betrayed the people. Because you are a "loyal Democrat" first your are in my opinion a traitor to the People and a traitor to your country. Being a loyal American first I will always dispise you Speaker Pelosi as a traitor. So, remember who caused this credit problem in the first place, The "loyal Democrats" in Congress by passing laws to prohibit banks from denying loans to people who could pay foor them. In conclusion remember, Loyalty to the People and loyalty to your country are more important than loyaty to your politcial party. In otherwords if you are a loyal Democrat or a loyal Republican you will almost always betray your country and the People.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6166481324096247560-4874350972292815966?l=politicalcommonsmarts.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://politicalcommonsmarts.blogspot.com/feeds/4874350972292815966/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6166481324096247560&amp;postID=4874350972292815966' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6166481324096247560/posts/default/4874350972292815966'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6166481324096247560/posts/default/4874350972292815966'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://politicalcommonsmarts.blogspot.com/2008/09/always-be-concerned-about-party.html' title='Always be concerned about a &quot; Party Loyalist&quot;'/><author><name>Terry Ray Williams</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02587886902299747851</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6166481324096247560.post-117251652598765842</id><published>2008-09-18T01:43:00.000-06:00</published><updated>2008-09-18T03:42:07.510-06:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='McCain'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Earmarks'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Politics'/><title type='text'>Earmarks (the realm of traitors and dishonorable people)</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://www.zimbio.com/member/terryfordist75"&gt;&lt;img title="My Zimbio" alt="My Zimbio" src="http://www.zimbio.com/images/badges/badgeBlue.png?u=terryfordist75" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Top Stories &lt;a href="http://technorati.com/faves?sub=addfavbtn&amp;amp;add=http://politicalcommonsmarts.blogspot.com"&gt;&lt;img alt="Add to Technorati Favorites" src="http://static.technorati.com/pix/fave/btn-fave2.png" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/CommonSenseInPolitics"&gt;&lt;img style="BORDER-RIGHT: 0px; BORDER-TOP: 0px; BORDER-LEFT: 0px; BORDER-BOTTOM: 0px" height="26" alt="" src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~fc/CommonSenseInPolitics?bg=99CCFF&amp;amp;fg=444444&amp;amp;anim=0" width="88" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.blogengage.com/user.php?login=USERNAME&amp;amp;view=shaken"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.yoursourceforinfo.com/blogengage/images/blog_engage_promo_1.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In a recent article it was revealed that if McCain were elected they (the Congress) would shut down. I have a a thing to say to these corrupt, no good dishonorable people and its this. First, your have betrayed all of us voters who put you in your position by approving these corrupt spending bills. Therefore, We the People will and shall no longer tolerate you in office. You need us, but we Don't need you in otherwords we voted you in and we can vote your bums out. Second, our votes are not to be taken lightly so if you want you have to earn them. Meaning that so far all of your dishonors and betrayal of the people will earn you nothing but a one way trip out of office. Third, if I were McCain and you ( the Congress) made good on your threat I would immediatly go straight to the People. In otherwords I would go right over your heads to the real owners of this country and government (the voter). By going to the People I would ensure your infamy and your and your ultimate and glorious dishonorable defeat. If neccessary McCain should do is what I talked about in a previous post and that is to do a "pocketveto". Next McCain should than tell the Congress that anyone who fights him on these "earmarks" would lose federal funds to their states. Finally, if you try to threaten McCain with a government shut down know this. you do not own this government We The People do. We The People own this government, this country and you meaning you serve Us. Therefore you will do what we want not what you want, let me repeat. First We The People need to call these pork projects a corrupt betrayal of the People. Second We the People need to make it clear to all members of congress that these earmarks and pork spending bills will no longer be tolerated. Third McCain need to take his fight over the heads of Congress directly to the People. As wel as using the Constitution against the Congress by doing a pocketveto. And finally We The People need to get involved at the primary election level and vote out everyone who approves or has approved any and all pork spending projects. However we must also remember that there is is giant difference between spending for infrastructure projects (like sewer or road repairs) and pork projects like the infamous "Bridge to Nowhere". In closing We The People need to remember that the abbreviation of the United States is U.S. or us.&lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;&lt;!-- google_ad_client = "pub-9256733631687871"; /* 728x90, created 9/2/08 */ google_ad_slot = "8622544376"; google_ad_width = 728; google_ad_height = 90; //--&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/script&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6166481324096247560-117251652598765842?l=politicalcommonsmarts.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://politicalcommonsmarts.blogspot.com/feeds/117251652598765842/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6166481324096247560&amp;postID=117251652598765842' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6166481324096247560/posts/default/117251652598765842'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6166481324096247560/posts/default/117251652598765842'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://politicalcommonsmarts.blogspot.com/2008/09/earmarks-realm-of-traitors-and.html' title='Earmarks (the realm of traitors and dishonorable people)'/><author><name>Terry Ray Williams</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02587886902299747851</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6166481324096247560.post-7478957778911627380</id><published>2008-09-15T22:14:00.000-06:00</published><updated>2009-06-20T18:08:12.534-06:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Hurricane Ike'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Hurricanes'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='weather'/><title type='text'>Hurricane Ike (is it a repeat of 1900) continued</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://www.zimbio.com/member/terryfordist75"&gt;&lt;img title="My Zimbio" alt="My Zimbio" src="http://www.zimbio.com/images/badges/badgeBlue.png?u=terryfordist75" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Top Stories &lt;a href="http://technorati.com/faves?sub=addfavbtn&amp;amp;add=http://politicalcommonsmarts.blogspot.com"&gt;&lt;img alt="Add to Technorati Favorites" src="http://static.technorati.com/pix/fave/btn-fave2.png" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/CommonSenseInPolitics"&gt;&lt;img style="border: 0px none ;" alt="" src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/%7Efc/CommonSenseInPolitics?bg=99CCFF&amp;amp;fg=444444&amp;amp;anim=0" width="88" height="26" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.blogengage.com/user.php?login=USERNAME&amp;amp;view=shaken"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.yoursourceforinfo.com/blogengage/images/blog_engage_promo_1.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;&lt;!-- google_ad_client = "pub-9256733631687871"; /* 728x90, created 9/2/08 */ google_ad_slot = "8622544376"; google_ad_width = 728; google_ad_height = 90; //--&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/script&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As I predicted in my last blog of Hurricane Ike, it hit Galveston right on the mark and the path it took was (with a couple of differences) identical to the path the 1900 Galveston Hurricane took. Now those reading this might ask, how did I accurately predict this path? The simple answer is that I was watching channels like the Weather Channel on September 8. I saw the map depicting Hurricane Ike and saw the location Ike hit in Cuba. First let me say that I am not an expert on hurricanes or a weatherman of any kind I'm just a layman. When I saw the weather map showing Ike's location and its projected path I started thinking I was seeing de' javu. I then asked myself : "Is this a repeat of 1900 or am I seeing a mirage of something that wasn't really there"? So I, hoping to disspell the de' javu feeling, looked Hurricane Ike and the Hurricane of 1900 up on the internet. While comparing the two paths I realized that I was seeing the exact de' javu that I had hoped would be proven false. In other-words the two paths, I was comparing, were basically identical. Everything from the location they ( the Hurricane of 1900 and Hurricane Ike) hit Cuba to the paths they took were identical. These two hurricanes took the exact same paths, made the same course corrections, and hit the same locations in Cuba. After seeing these comparisons I realized that I was seeing the perfect storm and a repeat of 1900. So on September 8 I predicted that Hurricane Ike would hit Galveston as a Cat. 4 with 135 MPH winds and would be worse than Katrina in terms of casualties and damage. So far the only part of my prediction that I am proud to be wrong is Cat. size. As far as death toll I am hoping to be wrong there too. So far I have been wrong on the death toll, but the last I heard they have not rescue or gotten to everyone who stayed yet. The reason I was wrong on the power of Ike was because they (Galveston) got lucky when a dry front hit the hurricane and weakened it just 2 days before landfall. Had that dry air not been there I believe the Hurricane Ike would have been as bad as, or worse than, I predicted. The lesson here is that to prevent major death and destruction everyone in disaster prone areas MUST be prepared and not count of the Government. So New York and Boston take note, you guys are due a hit by a major hurricane some time in the future so be prepared for it.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6166481324096247560-7478957778911627380?l=politicalcommonsmarts.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://politicalcommonsmarts.blogspot.com/feeds/7478957778911627380/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6166481324096247560&amp;postID=7478957778911627380' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6166481324096247560/posts/default/7478957778911627380'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6166481324096247560/posts/default/7478957778911627380'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://politicalcommonsmarts.blogspot.com/2008/09/hurricane-ike-is-it-repeat-of-1900_15.html' title='Hurricane Ike (is it a repeat of 1900) continued'/><author><name>Terry Ray Williams</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02587886902299747851</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6166481324096247560.post-6456707799197904292</id><published>2008-09-08T21:44:00.000-06:00</published><updated>2009-05-12T23:36:03.756-06:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Hurricane Ike'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='weather'/><title type='text'>Hurricane Ike ( Is it a repeat of 1900?)</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://www.zimbio.com/member/terryfordist75"&gt;&lt;img title="My Zimbio" alt="My Zimbio" src="http://www.zimbio.com/images/badges/badgeBlue.png?u=terryfordist75" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Top Stories &lt;a href="http://technorati.com/faves?sub=addfavbtn&amp;amp;add=http://politicalcommonsmarts.blogspot.com"&gt;&lt;img alt="Add to Technorati Favorites" src="http://static.technorati.com/pix/fave/btn-fave2.png" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/CommonSenseInPolitics"&gt;&lt;img style="border: 0px none ;" alt="" src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/%7Efc/CommonSenseInPolitics?bg=99CCFF&amp;amp;fg=444444&amp;amp;anim=0" width="88" height="26" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.blogengage.com/user.php?login=USERNAME&amp;amp;view=shaken"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.yoursourceforinfo.com/blogengage/images/blog_engage_promo_1.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With the news of Hurricane Ike in recent days I got a little worried after looking at a NOAA map of Ike's projected path. As I looked at this NOAA map it struck me as being almost a copy of the 1900 hurricane that hit Galveston. In this hurricane its taking an almost similar path with some variations. The 1900 Hurricane took an almost straight path to Galveston, but Hurricane Ike (after looking at the weather maps) has so far had a couple of course changes on its way to Cuba. Other than this minor course differance Hurricane Ike's path looks almost like a twin of the 1900 Hurricane. Therefore with these similarities I (as a layman) am going to predict that Ike will hit Galveston and its path past Cuba will be identical. I also think it will be a weak Cat.4 with 135 MPH winds and that after it hits Galveston it will take a similar or identical path north. It is unknown whether my prediction will be right, but judging from the path I believe that Ike has (in my opinion) a high probability of being a repeat of the 1900 Hurricane that hit Galveston. In the 1900 Hurricane that hit galveston it cost thousands of lives and (in today's money) billions of dollars. However if my prediction is correct I think that Hurricane Ike will possibly be far worse than Hurricane Katrina. Meaning that the possible death toll and damages could possibly far exceed the casualty and damage stats of Hurricane Katrina, and Ike could be the worst ever hurricane to hit the US. I just hope I'm wrong about these similarities and I hope Ike misses Galveston but I don't think ( judging by the TV weather maps) that Ike will miss.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6166481324096247560-6456707799197904292?l=politicalcommonsmarts.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://politicalcommonsmarts.blogspot.com/feeds/6456707799197904292/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6166481324096247560&amp;postID=6456707799197904292' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6166481324096247560/posts/default/6456707799197904292'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6166481324096247560/posts/default/6456707799197904292'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://politicalcommonsmarts.blogspot.com/2008/09/hurricane-ike-is-it-repeat-of-1900.html' title='Hurricane Ike ( Is it a repeat of 1900?)'/><author><name>Terry Ray Williams</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02587886902299747851</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6166481324096247560.post-512202000805291946</id><published>2008-09-06T21:15:00.000-06:00</published><updated>2008-09-07T20:28:22.211-06:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Energy'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Renewable energy'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Oil'/><title type='text'>petroleum ( Why renewable energy alone won't end our "addiction" to oil)</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://www.zimbio.com/member/terryfordist75"&gt;&lt;img title="My Zimbio" alt="My Zimbio" src="http://www.zimbio.com/images/badges/badgeBlue.png?u=terryfordist75" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Top Stories &lt;a href="http://technorati.com/faves?sub=addfavbtn&amp;amp;add=http://politicalcommonsmarts.blogspot.com"&gt;&lt;img alt="Add to Technorati Favorites" src="http://static.technorati.com/pix/fave/btn-fave2.png" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/CommonSenseInPolitics"&gt;&lt;img style="BORDER-RIGHT: 0px; BORDER-TOP: 0px; BORDER-LEFT: 0px; BORDER-BOTTOM: 0px" height="26" alt="" src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~fc/CommonSenseInPolitics?bg=99CCFF&amp;amp;fg=444444&amp;amp;anim=0" width="88" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.blogengage.com/user.php?login=USERNAME&amp;amp;view=shaken"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.yoursourceforinfo.com/blogengage/images/blog_engage_promo_1.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In this year's Presidential campaign both parties have talked about getting us off of foreign oil and some have talked about ending our oil "addiction. However, if we address only our energy needs with renewable energy we'll never get off oil. Even if we develope other energy source that still will not end civilaztion's need for oil. Because there are over 130 product either made by or contain oil. These are products that we use and consume everyday of our lives such as: tires, toothpaste, microchips, candles, crayons, canned food (i.e canned fruit and vegitables). Even the upholstery on our furnitures are made of oil. An example of this is a story I saw on Tru TV (formerly Court TV) about an older teen was facing charges of arson and murder because a fire on a couch in his house killed his grandmother. The Fire Marshall didn't believe that the fire was accidental because of how hot and fast the fire was and want to prosecute him (the grandson). So when the prosecutor heard about the grandson's defense ( and this is why I deeply respect him) he decided to test the defense for himself. He (the prosecutor) went and purchased an identical couch, which was made of microfiber, and stuck a lit cigarette on it. The result was astonishing to the prosecutor because the couch went up like a Roman candle. After this test the prosecutor knowing the truth decided to drop the charges. Stories like this are becoming more and more common due to the fact that more and more of our normal everyday products are either being made from oil or contain oil in them. Because of the amount of product made by or containing oil if we are to truly get of all oil we need to find to replace all of the products. So in conclusion a new enrgy source will not take us off our "addiction to oil" until we address the other products made by or containing oil.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6166481324096247560-512202000805291946?l=politicalcommonsmarts.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://politicalcommonsmarts.blogspot.com/feeds/512202000805291946/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6166481324096247560&amp;postID=512202000805291946' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6166481324096247560/posts/default/512202000805291946'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6166481324096247560/posts/default/512202000805291946'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://politicalcommonsmarts.blogspot.com/2008/09/petroleum-why-renewable-energy-alone.html' title='petroleum ( Why renewable energy alone won&apos;t end our &quot;addiction&quot; to oil)'/><author><name>Terry Ray Williams</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02587886902299747851</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6166481324096247560.post-1548841044831070470</id><published>2008-09-01T01:28:00.000-06:00</published><updated>2008-09-01T16:49:47.062-06:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='McCain'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Politics'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Palin'/><title type='text'>Governer Palin ( McCain's homerun)</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://www.zimbio.com/member/terryfordist75"&gt;&lt;img title="My Zimbio" alt="My Zimbio" src="http://www.zimbio.com/images/badges/badgeBlue.png?u=terryfordist75" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Top Stories &lt;a href="http://technorati.com/faves?sub=addfavbtn&amp;amp;add=http://politicalcommonsmarts.blogspot.com"&gt;&lt;img alt="Add to Technorati Favorites" src="http://static.technorati.com/pix/fave/btn-fave2.png" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/CommonSenseInPolitics"&gt;&lt;img style="BORDER-RIGHT: 0px; BORDER-TOP: 0px; BORDER-LEFT: 0px; BORDER-BOTTOM: 0px" height="26" alt="" src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~fc/CommonSenseInPolitics?bg=99CCFF&amp;amp;fg=444444&amp;amp;anim=0" width="88" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.blogengage.com/user.php?login=USERNAME&amp;amp;view=shaken"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.yoursourceforinfo.com/blogengage/images/blog_engage_promo_1.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On Friday 8\29\08 Senator John McCain announced that his choice for vice president would be Alaskan Governer Sarah Palin. Would I heard this I was excited be cause in my opinion this selection hits the election out of the park. Not only does her pick bring the female vote, but it also brings ethics. I believe that this ticket will not only win the White House for McCain, but I also believe that he will win a double digit victory. It is my belief that Governer Palin's pick would be a boon not to McCain but to the People and here's why. The Democrats are trying their beat to discredit her and they will fail because while they are happy to have their 10% approval rating Governer Palin has 80%. Which means that the People are more likely totrust her than they do the Congress. Secondly, her victory would also be a warning, that's right, a warning to the Congress that, as Barak Obama said in his acceptance speech, "Enough is enough." We the People will no longer tolerate the disrespect we get from Washington. We will not allow any more dishonorable or unethical behavior from our elected officials. I think that this warning is overdue and needed because We the People have been injured, lied to, and disrespected for far too long. The American People have had enough, not of Bush, but of Obama and the Washington establishment. We the People are sick of being called the great unwashed, too stupid to govern ourselves, or being called radicals. I so sorry that elitists like Obama, Reid, Kennedy, and Pelosi are hurt we tell we want our borders secure. well guess what Pelosi, guess what Obama, and guess what Kennedy? You don't own this country, you don't own this Government WE the People do. This is our country, our government and we will no longer tolerate your criminal, Socialist or elitist behavior anymore. We the people have had enough of your dishonor and disrespect. So if you democrats don't mind WE the People are taking our country and our government back. Finally a message to both McCain and Palin. When the Democrats try to attack, and they will attack, your " inexperience" you might want to respond this way. You Palin look at the camera holding your hands out like scales and say: " the Democratic Congress a 10% approval rating, Me 80%, I wonder who the People will trust more?" That would be the perfect responce to a Democratic attack on her experience.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6166481324096247560-1548841044831070470?l=politicalcommonsmarts.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://politicalcommonsmarts.blogspot.com/feeds/1548841044831070470/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6166481324096247560&amp;postID=1548841044831070470' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6166481324096247560/posts/default/1548841044831070470'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6166481324096247560/posts/default/1548841044831070470'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://politicalcommonsmarts.blogspot.com/2008/09/governer-palin-mccains-homerun.html' title='Governer Palin ( McCain&apos;s homerun)'/><author><name>Terry Ray Williams</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02587886902299747851</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6166481324096247560.post-3854577276366718079</id><published>2008-08-26T21:51:00.000-06:00</published><updated>2008-08-29T00:28:19.187-06:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Pelosi'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Obama'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='health care'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Democrats'/><title type='text'>Universal healthcare ( the new HMO)</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://www.zimbio.com/member/terryfordist75"&gt;&lt;img title="My Zimbio" alt="My Zimbio" src="http://www.zimbio.com/images/badges/badgeBlue.png?u=terryfordist75" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Top Stories &lt;a href="http://technorati.com/faves?sub=addfavbtn&amp;amp;add=http://politicalcommonsmarts.blogspot.com"&gt;&lt;img alt="Add to Technorati Favorites" src="http://static.technorati.com/pix/fave/btn-fave2.png" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/CommonSenseInPolitics"&gt;&lt;img style="BORDER-RIGHT: 0px; BORDER-TOP: 0px; BORDER-LEFT: 0px; BORDER-BOTTOM: 0px" height="26" alt="" src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~fc/CommonSenseInPolitics?bg=99CCFF&amp;amp;fg=444444&amp;amp;anim=0" width="88" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With the Democratic talk of " universal health care" one need only to look at the last Democratic failure to give insurance to the masses. Most people don't realize or don't remember that the HMO was not a sudden creation, but a democratic creation. In 1973 a Mr. Elliot in talks with the precursor to the DHHS got the Democratically controlled Congress to pass the HMO act of 1973. It forced employers to offer HMOs as an alterative to private insurers. This act is the biggest abomination ever forced on the American people. It is the biggest waste of money to ever have been conceived. This giant of an abmination is the main reason why healthcare is so expensive. By allowing the government idiots like Nancy Pelosi, or Barak Obama to control our healthcare we have driven up the price we must pay. After watching the Democratic National Convention I realized that what the Democrats want is to repeat the same utter failure they forced on us Americans in 1973. It is true that I would like to pay for my healthcare, but I do want to afford it NOT have the government pay for it for me. As a person with disabilities on Social Security and Medicare I must however admit a few things about how I feel on this issue. I HATE IT! I hate being on Social Security. I hate getting money that I didn't earn. I hate the fact the insurance has been priced out of the range of most paying costumers. If there was a way to keep only the insurance I would easily tell the government to take their money and shove it. Programs like HMOs, like Social Security, like Medicare and Medicaid, and like "Universal Health care" serves only one purpose and that is to enslave the American people and prevent anyone from being successful. It serve to ensure that a Communist system is put in place by corrupting and enslaving the people and does nothing to solve the real problem of health care. The only answer to cheaper health care is like I siad in a previous post. They are, 1 lower taxes for ALL Americans, 2 improved technologies, 3 controlling lawyers, and lawsuits, 4 protecting patients against billing erros, and 5 improving the rules on ethics and conflicts of interest. So when the Democrats talk about "Universal Health care" just remember the last time they (the Democrats) tinkered with our health care, it was a fiasco.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6166481324096247560-3854577276366718079?l=politicalcommonsmarts.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://politicalcommonsmarts.blogspot.com/feeds/3854577276366718079/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6166481324096247560&amp;postID=3854577276366718079' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6166481324096247560/posts/default/3854577276366718079'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6166481324096247560/posts/default/3854577276366718079'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://politicalcommonsmarts.blogspot.com/2008/08/universal-healthcare-new-hmo.html' title='Universal healthcare ( the new HMO)'/><author><name>Terry Ray Williams</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02587886902299747851</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6166481324096247560.post-191602518346923330</id><published>2008-08-22T12:41:00.000-06:00</published><updated>2009-06-20T18:11:54.170-06:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='illegal immigration'/><title type='text'>We need a Wyatt Earp in White house</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://www.zimbio.com/member/terryfordist75"&gt;&lt;img title="My Zimbio" alt="My Zimbio" src="http://www.zimbio.com/images/badges/badgeBlue.png?u=terryfordist75" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Top Stories &lt;a href="http://technorati.com/faves?sub=addfavbtn&amp;amp;add=http://politicalcommonsmarts.blogspot.com"&gt;&lt;img alt="Add to Technorati Favorites" src="http://static.technorati.com/pix/fave/btn-fave2.png" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/CommonSenseInPolitics"&gt;&lt;img style="border: 0px none ;" alt="" src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/%7Efc/CommonSenseInPolitics?bg=99CCFF&amp;amp;fg=444444&amp;amp;anim=0" width="88" height="26" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am sick of the treasonous Johnny Sutton who says that the US border agents violated an illegal immigrant-drug runner's civil rights. The only violations here are the following: First, by giving an immunity deal to this dishonorable lying drug runner, Sutton violated U.S. criminal code title 18 part 1 chapter 11 section 201 c2 which directly and strictly prohibits such deals from being made. In fact, every federal judge who has ruled on this, has called deals like the one Sutton did bribery. The second violation is the violation of the American people. This is our country not Mexico's, Canada's or anyone else. By prosecuting these border agents Sutton has ignored the people and thus violated the people by putting his career ahead of what was right. The third violation is the violation of our sovereignty. This is where I call Johnny Sutton a traitor because he has sided against his own country, against his own border agents, and against his own people. By doing this, he has shown that his loyalties are not to America or the American people. He has also shown that when it come to illegal immigrants he will always take the side of the illegal against his own country. This to me is treason and must not be allowed to continue. So here is my answer to how we can retake our country from People like Sutton. First we MUST find a person who has the attitude of Wyatt Earp and elect him/her to the presidency. That person is Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindel. He is the one person who can take our country back from the Communists and Liberals. Governor Bobby Jindel is the Wyatt Earp we need, because he does not care about politics. He cares only about doing what's right (what a novel idea). So in conclusion, we need a Wyatt Earp in the White House, we need Bobby Jindel in 2012.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6166481324096247560-191602518346923330?l=politicalcommonsmarts.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://politicalcommonsmarts.blogspot.com/feeds/191602518346923330/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6166481324096247560&amp;postID=191602518346923330' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6166481324096247560/posts/default/191602518346923330'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6166481324096247560/posts/default/191602518346923330'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://politicalcommonsmarts.blogspot.com/2008/08/we-need-wyatt-earp-in-white-house.html' title='We need a Wyatt Earp in White house'/><author><name>Terry Ray Williams</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02587886902299747851</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6166481324096247560.post-3164091295486720568</id><published>2008-08-19T17:36:00.000-06:00</published><updated>2009-06-20T18:00:51.186-06:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='NATO'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='World War II'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Hitler'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Europe'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Russia'/><title type='text'>The cowardise of England and western europe</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://www.zimbio.com/member/terryfordist75"&gt;&lt;img title="My Zimbio" alt="My Zimbio" src="http://www.zimbio.com/images/badges/badgeBlue.png?u=terryfordist75" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Top Stories &lt;a href="http://technorati.com/faves?sub=addfavbtn&amp;amp;add=http://politicalcommonsmarts.blogspot.com"&gt;&lt;img alt="Add to Technorati Favorites" src="http://static.technorati.com/pix/fave/btn-fave2.png" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/CommonSenseInPolitics"&gt;&lt;img style="border: 0px none ;" alt="" src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/%7Efc/CommonSenseInPolitics?bg=99CCFF&amp;amp;fg=444444&amp;amp;anim=0" width="88" height="26" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.mybloglog.com/buzz/community/commonsenseinpolitics/" rel="9d3baf6f096da9d0aa44e07f799c74c578233967"&gt;Undergoing MyBlogLog Verification&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now that Russia and its emperor Putin is acting like a typical KGB fool, NATO or more importantly England and western Europe have decided that the best course of action is to cower before Emperor Putin and allow him to rape and pillage the Republic of Georgia. This course is exactly like the cowardly appeasement of Adolf Hitler during WWII. While Hitler and the NAZIs are guilty of the murder of millions of Jews, the world leaders of WWII like Pres. Roosevelt are more guilty of the Jewish genocide than Hitler's Germany because, by turning their heads away from the problem, they allowed it to occur. By turning "the other cheek'" or, through lack of action, they tell these despots that their action are okay. These so called "world leaders" have shown not only their cowardice and dishonor, but have also shown that they are mice and not men. These "leaders have also shown that they have absolutely no spines and are as weak as a piece of paper trying to stop a bulldozer. This kind of weakness is in my opinion nothing but absolute cowardice and any member of NATO showing such cowardice should be exposed for the cowards that they are. they should not be allowed to hold any office or position that demand action in the face of evil. Like the UN, NATO is slowly becoming irrelevant due to the fact they NATO "leaders" believe that cowardice and surrender are the best course of action to any situation because they can do as Pontius Pilate and "wash" their hand of any responsibility. However, the truth is they can't and here's why. By washing their hand of the affair, by allowing the rape and pillage of Georgia, by letting Russia to act like a baffoon, they are "washing" their hands not in water,but blood. So no matter how hard they "wash" their hands they can NEVER remove the blood they have accumulated by doing nothing. The more this is allowed to go on the more blood NATO "leaders" have on their hands. In conclusion, like I've said in previous posts, now is NOT the time for cowards, now is the time for courage and honor. Now is the time for men not mice to lead the world. Now is the time for the world leaders to stand up and be true leaders and not fake leaders. And now is the time for the people of the world to stand up and say " No cowards allowed". The Hippie slogan of "make love not war" is not only the slogan of cowards but the slogan of traitors and men with no honor which therefore has no place in our society. Because to believe in the Hippie slogan, to turn the "other cheek", and to allow the rape and pillage of Georgia by Russia, NATO "leaders" have tried and convicted themselves is the court of history. In other-words they have found themselves guilty of being accessories to the rape and pillage of Georgia. Which is why I believe that any person who allows a dishonor to occur is more guilty of that dishonor then the person committing it. To have the ability to stop it and yet ignoring the rape and pillage of Georgia is the worst kind of dishonor and makes the NATO "leaders" more guilty of the attack then Russia. So when history asks why no one responded to the Russian attacks on Georgia we need only say that NATO was filled with "girlyman" mice with no spines.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6166481324096247560-3164091295486720568?l=politicalcommonsmarts.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://politicalcommonsmarts.blogspot.com/feeds/3164091295486720568/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6166481324096247560&amp;postID=3164091295486720568' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6166481324096247560/posts/default/3164091295486720568'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6166481324096247560/posts/default/3164091295486720568'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://politicalcommonsmarts.blogspot.com/2008/08/cowardise-of-england-and-western-europe.html' title='The cowardise of England and western europe'/><author><name>Terry Ray Williams</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02587886902299747851</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6166481324096247560.post-602065723974828955</id><published>2008-08-14T18:24:00.000-06:00</published><updated>2008-08-29T00:21:38.547-06:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='The Georgian Republic'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Cease fire'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Russia'/><title type='text'>The Russian Conquest of Georgia</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://www.zimbio.com/member/terryfordist75"&gt;&lt;img title="My Zimbio" alt="My Zimbio" src="http://www.zimbio.com/images/badges/badgeBlue.png?u=terryfordist75" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; Top Stories &lt;a href="http://technorati.com/faves?sub=addfavbtn&amp;amp;add=http://politicalcommonsmarts.blogspot.com"&gt;&lt;img alt="Add to Technorati Favorites" src="http://static.technorati.com/pix/fave/btn-fave2.png" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/CommonSenseInPolitics"&gt;&lt;img style="BORDER-RIGHT: 0px; BORDER-TOP: 0px; BORDER-LEFT: 0px; BORDER-BOTTOM: 0px" height="26" alt="" src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~fc/CommonSenseInPolitics?bg=99CCFF&amp;amp;fg=444444&amp;amp;anim=0" width="88" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With the recent dishonorable attacks on the Georgian Republic by Russia in recent weeks everyone is cheering the cease fire offered by the Republic of Georgia. Here is my opinion of this "cease fire". Do Not believe for one second that Russia will honor this agreement. Russia's intent is to rebuild the old Soviet Union. So when I heard that Russia agreed to the "cease fire" I realized that it gave them a chance to plot the conquest of Georgia while the world's attention is elsewhere and the Georgia military is off balance and here's why. One of the, if not the, most brilliant military stratigists in all of history is ancient Chinese philosopher Sun Tzu. In his book "The Art of War" he lays out 3 reason for either calling for or accepting a truce or cease fire and here they are. The first reason to call for or accept a truce or cease fire without total victory is mercy. In otherwords the enemy is being soundly defeated and it is merciful to allow them to surrender without annihilating the enemy. The second reason is political strife in the homeland, example: your countrymen are rioting and you need to deal with the rioters. The third reason is for plotting. An example of this is; your army has a chance to defeat your enemy, but you call for or accept a truce to throw your enemy off balance so you can plot his destruction. Now the question we need to ask ourselves is: what incentive does Russia have to either call for or accept a "cease fire" with Georgia? Which of these reasons are the truth? Well let's go through these reasons for Russian acceptance of the "cease fire" to see the true reason Russia stop its attack on Georgia. Reason one, mercy, this reason is why Georgia called for a "cease fire" because Georgia was getting their butts soundly defeated. So this is a plausible reason for Russia to accept the"cease fire". Reason two, political upheavals, is not the reason for the cease fire and here's why. The Georgian people are united behind their President and the Russian people are so screwed up because of their government that they wouldn't know the truth if it hit them. Reason three, plotting, is the most likely reason that Russia accepted the "cease fire" because while the attacks have stopped it gives Russia a chance to rearrange and move their military into more tactical superior positions thus giving them a chance to go for the total destruction of Georgia. The evidence of this is that while Russia has accepted the cease fire their miltary in Georgia is moving into tactical superior positions which can only mean that they don't intend to leave and are bound to conquer Georgia. This is why we must go back to the "trust but varify" policy that President Reagan started. That is why we must arm not only the Georgian military but also the Georgian people for the purpose of fighting off the Russian scourge in their country. For if we don't the alternative is unacceptable.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6166481324096247560-602065723974828955?l=politicalcommonsmarts.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://politicalcommonsmarts.blogspot.com/feeds/602065723974828955/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6166481324096247560&amp;postID=602065723974828955' title='6 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6166481324096247560/posts/default/602065723974828955'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6166481324096247560/posts/default/602065723974828955'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://politicalcommonsmarts.blogspot.com/2008/08/russian-conquest-of-georgia.html' title='The Russian Conquest of Georgia'/><author><name>Terry Ray Williams</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02587886902299747851</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>6</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6166481324096247560.post-3869379472875895694</id><published>2008-08-14T01:31:00.001-06:00</published><updated>2009-02-22T00:55:31.946-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='politcal correctness'/><title type='text'>Time To knock off the Politically Correct Crap</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://technorati.com/claim/2qde5urhsd" rel="me"&gt;Technorati Profile&lt;/a&gt;On July 24 I read a news article about the Seattle Mariners banning peanuts in one section of their stadium and got furious. I am sick to death of all the politically correct crap that the special interest want to shove down our throats. As a person with disabilities I am freaking sick and tired of so-called disability groups who, "in an act of passion ", make companies, government offices, and other organizations to treat me and other disabled or people with allergies specially, " because its a humane thing to do". Hogwash, I am allergic to Nyquil, but am I going to demand that the government ban Nyquil? No I WON'T. I refuse to allow any group to tell me that I am not equal to anyone else. Just because I may be allergic to Nyquil I am not willing to tell anyone to ban Nyquil. It has become tiresome to constantly here about some slug attorney suing a fast food restaurant, some business or group getting rid of "junk food", or some lame brained idiot telling me I can't have peanuts because some poor whiny baby maybe allergic. I have had it with whiny spoiled brats telling me to conform to their needs and wants. I am so furious that if I could I'd go to an M.L.B. game, I would go to any stadium or any stadium section that banned peanuts or Cracker Jacks and stuff my face as much as I can with peanuts and Cracker Jacks, or go on a TV talk show and while debating a slug attorney reach in a bag ,and, on TV just stuff my face with an artery clogging, grease dripping, mess making hamburger. This is my answer to the communists and tyrants who want to tell me what I can or cannot eat. It is none of your business what I eat, drink, or do because it is only my business, period. And to those whiny spoiled babies this message, as my grandmother on my mother's side would say" Put on your big boy pants and get over it." So in conclusion it is time to knock of the polically correct crap and leave my food alone and let me eat what I want.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6166481324096247560-3869379472875895694?l=politicalcommonsmarts.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://politicalcommonsmarts.blogspot.com/feeds/3869379472875895694/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6166481324096247560&amp;postID=3869379472875895694' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6166481324096247560/posts/default/3869379472875895694'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6166481324096247560/posts/default/3869379472875895694'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://politicalcommonsmarts.blogspot.com/2008/08/time-to-knock-off-politically-correct.html' title='Time To knock off the Politically Correct Crap'/><author><name>Terry Ray Williams</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02587886902299747851</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6166481324096247560.post-3500298061911406303</id><published>2008-08-14T01:29:00.000-06:00</published><updated>2008-08-29T00:23:33.595-06:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Congress'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='US Constitution'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='George Bush'/><title type='text'>Using the Constitution as a ram against the Congress</title><content type='html'>Tuesday July 15, 2008 the Congress has overridden President Bush's veto for a third time. The problem with this is that President Bush continues to fall into the traps that Congress lays out for him in two ways. First, Like McCain wing of the Republican party he does not know how to politic, and does not believe in going to the people. Here is the remedy: he Must let go of this notion that politics is friendly. It is not. When I unsuccessfully ran for Utah's 75th legislative district I decided that although I wouldn't do personal attacks on my opponates I would NOT have tolerated it if any of my opponents had done it (personal attacks) on me. In otherwords had the race gotten dirty I would have fought back as aggressively as possible by going to the People. The second way he falls into these Congressional traps is he probably does not know the US Constitution. What he needs to do is read and study the articles in the Constitution like the end of Article 1 Section 7 and all of Article 2 Section 3. These arcticl I've mentioned can be used against the Congress by President Bush and here's how. If Pres. Bush gets a bill he totally disagrees with he can and should do this. After he gets the bill he should,first order the adjournment of Congress for eleven working days. Second, he should put hte bill in his desk drawer and not veto or sign it for ten working days. this method is called a Pocket Veto and Bush should use it. If he did and went to the People not only would the Socialist Democrats be furious, but he, by doing a "Pocket Veto", would have killed bad bills such as this "pork infested " Medicare bill. And that is how you kill bills without Congress overriding your veto.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6166481324096247560-3500298061911406303?l=politicalcommonsmarts.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://politicalcommonsmarts.blogspot.com/feeds/3500298061911406303/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6166481324096247560&amp;postID=3500298061911406303' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6166481324096247560/posts/default/3500298061911406303'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6166481324096247560/posts/default/3500298061911406303'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://politicalcommonsmarts.blogspot.com/2008/08/using-constitution-as-ram-against.html' title='Using the Constitution as a ram against the Congress'/><author><name>Terry Ray Williams</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02587886902299747851</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6166481324096247560.post-4102873850637408440</id><published>2008-08-14T01:28:00.000-06:00</published><updated>2008-08-29T03:18:54.865-06:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Communist'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Obama'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='elitists'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Democrats'/><title type='text'>Obama &amp; the Democrats(the true elitists)</title><content type='html'>For the past year we have heard Obama and the Democrats rant and rave about the "elitism" of the rich who are"evil"because they don't "share" their money with the poor. Obama and the Democrats have demeaned and smeared the one who truly hire "poor people" and that is the rich. It is only the rich who hire working class or "poor people" and invest in our economy. For that reason the Socialist Democrat Obama and his party have declared war on all american values. They talk about "helping the poor and working class", they talk about giving us socialist programs like universal healthcare if these idea's are passed the US will become the USSA or the United Socialist States of America. These "people" are the enemies of this country their have no care for us because anyone who makes any money is evil in their minds. Barak Hussein Obama has no loyalties to America or the American people. In my mind the rich are not the elitists, it is the B.H. Obama and his Communist friends in the Democratic party who are the true elitists. It is my opinion that any vote for obama is a vote for Communism and Socialism that is the Democratic party of today, for proof of this just look at their contributors and you will find that everyone of them are either Communist, Socialist, or have Communist leanings. Another point of proof of this is that only the Communist Democrats can use race, gender, or class but no one else can. It is this thinking that is espoused by Communism. Third not one, Not One of the Communist Democrats have ever done a single thing (i.e.: have fundraisers, visit the troops, or visit, fly a flag in their yard, mount a yellow ribbon magnet on their cars, or do USO shows) for the troops. So it is truly apparent that they are not only anti-war but are also anti-military and are anti-American, for their only loyalty is to the Party (sounds like Communism to me). It is reasons like this that the People must take a stand against the Communists in the Democratic party and if I had my way I'd kick out everyone who is either Communist or have Communist leanings (i.e. ban Communism and Communist literature like Japan did).&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6166481324096247560-4102873850637408440?l=politicalcommonsmarts.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://politicalcommonsmarts.blogspot.com/feeds/4102873850637408440/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6166481324096247560&amp;postID=4102873850637408440' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6166481324096247560/posts/default/4102873850637408440'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6166481324096247560/posts/default/4102873850637408440'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://politicalcommonsmarts.blogspot.com/2008/08/obama-democratsthe-true-elitists.html' title='Obama &amp; the Democrats(the true elitists)'/><author><name>Terry Ray Williams</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02587886902299747851</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6166481324096247560.post-7810924555729280074</id><published>2008-08-14T01:27:00.000-06:00</published><updated>2008-08-29T00:24:18.754-06:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Fox News'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Lobbyists'/><title type='text'>Time to kick the bums out</title><content type='html'>On Sunday 6/8 I was watching a show on Fox News called Porked. Although I was not surprised I was extremely infuriated at the extent Congress has betrayed the people. Their disdain of the people speaks volumes about their disloyalty and their dishonor. Just this year I unsuccessfully ran for Utah's 75th legislative district when I got an email from a lobbyist wanting to meet with me and possibly contribute to my failed campaign. When I got it I was mixed because I was running the cheapest "shoestring" campaign "with no shoestring", in otherwords I was in need of money. While I was teetering on wanting to meet with this lobbyist and accept his money for my campaign, I in the end did not meet with him because of a promise I made to myself. I Will Not Accept ANY Outside Money. I have had it with these bums in Congress who have total disregard for, and no loyalty to their country or their voters. The time has come to take our country back and kick these bums Out! The more we allow them to betray us the more they are willing to destroy this country. It is obvious that these Congressional bums have no loyalty to us, no loyalty to this country, and no loyalty to what our founding fathers wanted. This kind of dishonor has to stop. We must not allow these bums to maintian the power they have aquired. In order to oust them we must get involved in the process at the primary and local level. By getting involved at the primary and local levels we stand the greatest chance to overthrow the power establishment and return this country back to the true owners, US. We must show these bums that it is not the politician that owns this government, but "WE THE PEOPLE" that own it. In otherwords, we must say this to the Congress: "Congress, this is Our government, Our country, and we will not Back Down. We own you, we own this government, and We own this country Not Your Lobbyists or Friends. If you Do Not stop these dishonors you will here this from us, '"YOU'RE FIRED"'!.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6166481324096247560-7810924555729280074?l=politicalcommonsmarts.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://politicalcommonsmarts.blogspot.com/feeds/7810924555729280074/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6166481324096247560&amp;postID=7810924555729280074' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6166481324096247560/posts/default/7810924555729280074'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6166481324096247560/posts/default/7810924555729280074'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://politicalcommonsmarts.blogspot.com/2008/08/time-to-kick-bums-out.html' title='Time to kick the bums out'/><author><name>Terry Ray Williams</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02587886902299747851</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6166481324096247560.post-8240046560424986966</id><published>2008-08-14T01:25:00.000-06:00</published><updated>2009-04-15T20:35:59.976-06:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='health care'/><title type='text'>Healthcare ( Why No Candidate has the Right Answer)</title><content type='html'>One of the big debate this election season is the sky-high cost of health-care. The problem is that Clinton, Obama, and McCain have a band-aid solution to a multi-pronged problem. the questions being asked is why health-care is so expensive. The answer to this problem is one that addresses all facets of the health-care problem and the problems are as follows: taxes, lawyers, new technologies and tests, medical mistakes, and inadequate rules. These are the solutions I have come up with that will lower health-care costs. First, by lower taxes and not having the current socialist tax laws we have will allow lower income people to afford more health-care cost (because the more money people have the more they can afford). Second, tort-reform, by capping judgments, banning frivolous lawsuits, and making the loser pay you lower health-care costs. Third, technologies, the technological advancements have allowed for tests and medical procedures that did not exist 50 years ago. the answer to this would be a grant to universities and colleges to find a way to make these new technologies more efficient, thus lowering the cost to have medical tests and procedures. Fourth, pass a law that would state : "Any health insurance company who gets a bill for a medical mistake or services not rendered must seek permission from the policy holder to pay for it", in other words neither the patient nor the insurance can be made to pay for the mistake. Finally by bringing the conflict of interest rules and the ethics rules into the 21st century you make health-care affordable. Here is an example, a few months ago I was watching an interview on "The Big Idea with Donny Deutsch" where he talked to a man whose daughter had an incurable disease. This parent studied everything he could about it and started a pharmaceutical company to cure it once he perfected the treatment he tested it on everyone else with this disease first. When he finally decided to try it on his daughter every hospital except one (St. Mary's College) would allow him to try. Their answer was that because he had started and owned a pharmaceutical company he had "a conflict of interest". The answer to this is that the spirit of the Conflict of Interest Rules are to level the "playing field". In other words everyone gets treated the same regardless of whether the patient is of the street or the daughter of a pharmaceutical company. Another example is this : sometime ago I heard about a young girl (toddler) who got severely burned. Her twin wanted to donate some of her (the healthy twin) skin to her sister for a skin-graft. The only way the hospital would do it was to go to court to get the okay, this is ridiculous not to mention a total waste of money. In Conclusion, the solutions I have provided in my opinion are the best answer to the health-care problem.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6166481324096247560-8240046560424986966?l=politicalcommonsmarts.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://politicalcommonsmarts.blogspot.com/feeds/8240046560424986966/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6166481324096247560&amp;postID=8240046560424986966' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6166481324096247560/posts/default/8240046560424986966'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6166481324096247560/posts/default/8240046560424986966'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://politicalcommonsmarts.blogspot.com/2008/08/healthcare-why-no-candidate-has-right.html' title='Healthcare ( Why No Candidate has the Right Answer)'/><author><name>Terry Ray Williams</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02587886902299747851</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6166481324096247560.post-2531818944530255972</id><published>2008-08-14T01:24:00.001-06:00</published><updated>2008-08-29T00:26:05.262-06:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Unions'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Quality'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='automakers'/><title type='text'>Quality needs to trump the worker's unions</title><content type='html'>I just heard of a major recall just made by Ford involving over 600,000 model year 2005-2006 trucks for faulty brake lines. Why is every year we have major recalls in the big three American automakers? Why has the quality of Ford GM and Chrysler gone to the trash heap? the reason is simple, the unions. Over the 40 to 50 years the big three have surrendered to the union and given them control of their companies. The UAW has successfully taken over the big three automakers and made it so that the bosses have no control over employees or quality. The results are: one with guaranteed job security no employee has to care about quality because they (the union members) know they won't be fired. Two with the unions in control there are no standards when it come quality or dress codes. An example of this is in late 2005 or early 2006 I was watching a documentary on either CNN or Fox News about the auto plant workers. In this documentary they showed one worker with a visible tattoo on his right shoulder and wear a cut-off shirt that was frayed. While I have no problem with a tattoo or with short sleeve shirts, when it come to appearance and work ethic if you don't have pride in your appearance you will not have pride in your work. As I was watching this I said had I owned any of the big three US automakers I would not allow that worker (the one I saw on television) to be on the assembly line looking the way he did. And until they (the big three) get it companies like Toyota will continue to surpass them in sales: because contrary to union belief the costumers care more about quality and how long their car lasts than whether or not a union member gets a 2 hour break. The only way to reverse this trend is for the big three to say forget the unions, and forget the negotiations quality Must trump union deals.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6166481324096247560-2531818944530255972?l=politicalcommonsmarts.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://politicalcommonsmarts.blogspot.com/feeds/2531818944530255972/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6166481324096247560&amp;postID=2531818944530255972' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6166481324096247560/posts/default/2531818944530255972'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6166481324096247560/posts/default/2531818944530255972'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://politicalcommonsmarts.blogspot.com/2008/08/quality-needs-to-trump-workers-unions.html' title='Quality needs to trump the worker&apos;s unions'/><author><name>Terry Ray Williams</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02587886902299747851</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6166481324096247560.post-5785555746004820149</id><published>2008-08-14T01:21:00.001-06:00</published><updated>2012-01-24T00:48:26.563-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Nobel Peace Prize'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Irena Sendler'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Heroes'/><title type='text'>Irena Sendler (the true peace prize winner)</title><content type='html'>A bit of sad news has been reported. Irena Sendler a Peace prize nominee has died at the age of 98. Now who is Irena Sendler you ask? She was a social worker in Nazi occupied Poland who risked her life to save thousands of children from the brutal hand of the nazis and the SS. In 1943 she arrested and tortured for helping Jews. She told her captors that she would rather die than reveal her network. She is a true hero and a person truly deserving of the peace prize. In 2007 she was nominated for the Nobel peace prize only to have spoiled brat Al Gore junior, whose only claim to fame is he's the son a US Senator and a Senator himself, through politics and the betrayal by the dishonorable Nobel committee steal the prize from her. I was really angry when I heard that Al gore got the peace prize. What did he do to deserve it? What sacrifices did he make to win it? Whose lives ,at extreme risk to his own, did he save? Why is he, a spoiled brat son of a US Senator and a former senator himself more deserving of the Peace Prize than a 98 year old woman who risked torture and execution to save 2,500 Jewish children from the Nazis? How much did Al Gore pay for the prize? What makes her sacrifice less important than an admitted one world socialist? Because of this injustice I say forget the Nobel committee and lets nominate her for a better prize, the Congressional Gold Medal, the Presidential Medal of Freedom, or better yet lets name a carrier after her, because a USS Irena Sendler CVN-80 is far better than a corrupt Nobel Peace Prize.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6166481324096247560-5785555746004820149?l=politicalcommonsmarts.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://politicalcommonsmarts.blogspot.com/feeds/5785555746004820149/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6166481324096247560&amp;postID=5785555746004820149' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6166481324096247560/posts/default/5785555746004820149'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6166481324096247560/posts/default/5785555746004820149'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://politicalcommonsmarts.blogspot.com/2008/08/irena-sendler-true-peace-prize-winner.html' title='Irena Sendler (the true peace prize winner)'/><author><name>Terry Ray Williams</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02587886902299747851</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6166481324096247560.post-7812889793078747539</id><published>2008-08-14T01:19:00.002-06:00</published><updated>2012-01-24T00:45:52.359-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='liberals'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Barry Bonds'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Heroes'/><title type='text'>Heroes ( America's true nature)</title><content type='html'>For the past 30 years liberals have had the attitude that America is bad and hero worship is for the insane, I disagree for several reasons. First it is in our nature as Americans to believe in heroes, not because we want something to believe in, but because it shows us how we should act. A good example of this is the action of the Central Washington University girl's softball team in their game against Western Oregon University. In an act of honor and selflessness they took on themselves to help an injured opponent score her first ever home-run. In an a time when we have sports scandals and false heroes who through their dishonor and selfishness will do anything including cheating to win (that's what taking steroids is). When we hear of Barry Bonds and others taking steroids it shows me that these people do not care for the sport they only care for themselves and their records the C.W.U. softball team could have allowed the W.O.U. team make a substitution, but instead chose to act. This is why we need to shun players like Barry Bonds and honor teams like the C.W.U. softball team. In a time when we have to question the motive of our "sports heroes" it is these false heroes that we must dispose of as heroes for they do not deserve our admiration. Finally teams like the C.W.U. softball team are true heroes because they care more for the sport than they do for winning and that in my book is the true meaning of patriot. People who do what is right instead of what is easy or politically expedient.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6166481324096247560-7812889793078747539?l=politicalcommonsmarts.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://politicalcommonsmarts.blogspot.com/feeds/7812889793078747539/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6166481324096247560&amp;postID=7812889793078747539' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6166481324096247560/posts/default/7812889793078747539'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6166481324096247560/posts/default/7812889793078747539'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://politicalcommonsmarts.blogspot.com/2008/08/heroes-americas-true-nature.html' title='Heroes ( America&apos;s true nature)'/><author><name>Terry Ray Williams</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02587886902299747851</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6166481324096247560.post-2992648939772163592</id><published>2008-08-14T01:18:00.002-06:00</published><updated>2012-01-24T00:43:48.919-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Cowardise'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='China'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Socialism'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Russia'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Communism'/><title type='text'>Russia and China ( Now isn't the time for cowards)</title><content type='html'>With the recent dishonors committed by both Russia and China, like the Russian war in Georgia and the claim of Chinese cheating in gymnastics. We cannot allow these dishonors to contintue we must intervene in some way, the question is ."How"? There is only one way to deal with Russia and China. In order to deal with these to dishonorable nations we must do what is necessary to completely, once and for all defeat all of communism and socialism so here is how to deal with these dishonorable nations. When it comes to Russia, we must assist the Georgian people the same way we assisted the Afghans when Russia invaded them. We must begin to supply the Georgian military with not only training but also with weapon and technology. We must train not only their military but their people for guerrilla tactics. Only by training their military and citizens will we garner the support and respect of the Georgian people. However , in doing so we MUST NOT abandon them like cowards the way we abandoned the Afghan people after their war with Russia. We must maintain their friendship even after their war with Russia. In dealing with China, here is how I propose we deal with them. I believe that the best we to deal with them would be to have a beyond black ,top secret, program to hack into their nuclear missle computers and reaim their weapons to target them. Here's how I'd do it if I were President. First I would talk with the Attorney General and find out if we had any convicted computer hackers in prison, if so , where. Then only I would go to the prison to meet with the "hacker". I would then tell the "hacker" that I would only pardon him on the condition that he help his country defeat a mortal enemy. Once the "hacker" agreed to this, he would then be drafted into a black program to sabatoge the Chinese miltary computers. Therefore if the worst scenario occurred and China declared war against the US, by hacking into and sabatoging their nuclear missle and military computers the only targets their weapon would hit would be their own cities and people. This is the only way to truly deal with and defeat China as they are now. Now is the time for the world's people to take a stand against these bullies and say " enough is enough". In conclusion I leave you with this line from the Nickolodeon movie Barnyard, " A strong man stand up for himself, A stronger man stands up for others". In otherwords, now is the time for action and true courage Not cowardise.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6166481324096247560-2992648939772163592?l=politicalcommonsmarts.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://politicalcommonsmarts.blogspot.com/feeds/2992648939772163592/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6166481324096247560&amp;postID=2992648939772163592' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6166481324096247560/posts/default/2992648939772163592'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6166481324096247560/posts/default/2992648939772163592'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://politicalcommonsmarts.blogspot.com/2008/08/russia-and-china-now-isnt-time-for.html' title='Russia and China ( Now isn&apos;t the time for cowards)'/><author><name>Terry Ray Williams</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02587886902299747851</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6166481324096247560.post-5992864783632572164</id><published>2008-08-14T01:16:00.001-06:00</published><updated>2012-01-24T00:43:19.552-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Leaders'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Obama'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='McCain'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Republicans'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Democrats'/><title type='text'>Leaders ( why only honorable people should be allow to run for office)</title><content type='html'>Why is it every presidential election we have to choose between dumb and dumber (McCain and Obama), when we need someone with honor in office? Here is the answer. It is because the two parties have rigged the debates so that only the Republicans and Democrats get to debate therefore controlling who gets elected. When this country was founded our founding fathers did not want to limit debate. They felt that anyone running should have the right to debate and I agree. The result of this is that the morons in office have no care for We The People and only care about pleasing their special interest groups ( like PETA, NOW, or the Sierra Club). On the Democratic side we have groups like Moveon.org, PETA, NOW, ACLU, and others who want to destroy us because in their eyes America is evil and needs to be destroyed. However on the Republican side we have groups like the U.S. Chamber of Commerce who want to reintroduce slavery into the U.S. by supporting illegal immigration. These to parties have decided that only the destruction of our country and identity will allow them to accomplish their aims. As long as we allow them to control the debate or tell us who to vote for they will control us. We have to remember that it is us who own this country, it is us who own the government, and it is us who should control them. So I say we all need to get involved and overthrow these morons at the primary ballot boxes because they don't deserve our respect, admiration, or votes.&amp;nbsp; And only then can we take our country back.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6166481324096247560-5992864783632572164?l=politicalcommonsmarts.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://politicalcommonsmarts.blogspot.com/feeds/5992864783632572164/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6166481324096247560&amp;postID=5992864783632572164' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6166481324096247560/posts/default/5992864783632572164'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6166481324096247560/posts/default/5992864783632572164'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://politicalcommonsmarts.blogspot.com/2008/08/leaders-why-only-honorable-people.html' title='Leaders ( why only honorable people should be allow to run for office)'/><author><name>Terry Ray Williams</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02587886902299747851</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
