well said...
But Obama’s willingness to use abortion as an example of how people of faith must learn to communicate their universal values more reasonably, then fighting for the exact opposite, is insulting, and frightening.
Senator Obama’s fatal flaw is his unwillingness or inability to be consistent in word and deed on some very basic issues, of which, abortion is only one. His excellent speech on the urgency of ridding our country of racism, coupled with his simultaneous and strange embrace of pastors spewing reverse racism, was another.

Obama’s Fatal Flaw

Big sugar took its lumps, then made a deal
I don't know much about this, and for 1.75 Billion, I probably should.
But there is ONE feature of it that I love. We are not passing some environmental law that will cost someone 1.75 Billion, we are not dictating more and more what people can and cannot do with their own land. We (The state of Florida) is BUYING the land. Then as the new owners we will rightfully dictate what happens on that land.
It's a lot of money, and maybe the tide was turning and we could have made the land worthless (for Sugar production or anything else) by passing more and more environmental restrictions. But we didn't, we choose to buy the land. And this is one of my pet peeves. If we want to right to tell someone what they can and cannot do with their own land, whether its environmentalists or home owner associations, the only honorable way to do that is to BUY THE LAND.
Granted, the pollution from sugar production was about runoff from the land, not stuff that stayed on the land. But the idea is the same. By buying the land, we're putting our money where our values are and probably saving money in the long run with all the court costs that this sort of thing would require. Plus this way is also quicker.
Plus I LOVE the fact that a republican governor is making headlines with an environmental deal that he himself seems to have championed. Whatever you think of this, it is taking some of the ammo away from the liberals.

Baby Dies, Comes Back to Life
Miracle or explained medical phenomenon?
I think this is why "belief" is so hard in the modern world. Even when we can't fully explain something, we pretend we can.

Obama filp flops his position on guns
"Inartful", "overheated"....
.... but never just plain WRONG.
Of course it is a matter of opinion, so I don't know if it can be "right" or "wrong" in an absolute sense. But the problem is that Obama's position changes depending on what's going on and who he needs support from.
All from a man who is supposed to CHANGE Washington.. but this sounds like the same ole politics to me.

Americans: My faith isn't the only way
Very interesting... but I question the validity because of the way words are used. Asking if there are "other ways" to God might be interpreted as only meaning other "styles" of the same beliefs, not belief in a completely different god.
But still it's disturbing how shallow true "belief" seems to be in America.

Political Punch [This Post Continues after the jump...]Muslims barred from picture at Obama event
I guess Obama's Staff is not better than the rest of us. You certainly can't pin this type of behavior on Republicans only... but they will try, after all Democrats are 'inclusive' while Republicans are 'intolerant', right?

New rule restores rights to Florida's Ex-Cons
This seems like a good thing to me. If you did you time, then you should be released and have most of your rights restored. In some cases, voting rights might need to be taken for good, but not most cases.

McCains report more than $100,000 in credit card debt
I wonder if this is really a balance they have left on the credit cards or if this is just a typical monthly balance.
But it still doesn't look good.. the democrat is "debt free" while the republican is loaded down pretty good.
