Of Men and Mice

Ok… ok… OK….

You cannot even call the inactivity on this blog a lapse since there is no track record. That and the folks that I have tapped to write for us have dropped the ball. Pete has a GREAT article in the development stages. Course it has been for 3 weeks now.

EVERY one is talking about oil prices and generally the cost of getting by. Ok so it is expensive. Every thing else will catch up at some point. Yes we need to drill for more oil and find more efficient ways of using it. We also need to find alternative forms of energy and, when they are economically feasible, they should come to the market and then the free market will decide if they are worthy. With one candidate advocating the policies that got us to this point(not encouraging local energy exploration) and the other flip, flopping on the same issue (McCain now would like to open the outer continental shelf to drilling but still opposes drilling in ANWR) the choice is getting clearer in the POTUS race. I REALLY wish Rush Limbaugh would run but he has said many times he does not want the pay cut. Sean Hanity I am not sure would run and Newt has turned into a tree hugger. ‘Our list of allies grows thin’

The supreme’s (SCOTUS) has confirmed an individual’s right to own a fire arm to protect them selves and their families. That is a good thing though the margin was a little closer that I would have liked. It is like the left in this country has decided that we peons deserve only the rights they say we can have. We should eat what they tell us, believe what they tell us, possess what they tell us we can possess. When the reality is, the Bill of Rights is a list of rights the Government has no right to limit or take away. Justice Joseph Story(Appointed to the supreme court in 1811 at the age of 32) said – Consider the right to keep and bear arms “the palladium of the liberties of the republic,” which enables the citizenry to deter tyranny.

Lets see what else happened since my last post… Rush Limbaugh has signed a contract through 2012 for $400Mill everyone is jealous and many want to shut him up just for his beliefs and his audience base. The FCC looks at the fairness doctrine again. So now we are looking at officials that are not elected, curtailing our freedom of speech. Just like the bureaucrats at the EPA can tell you what you can and cannot do with your private property. NICE....
