President Obama Goes To India

I ask myself, now why would the president pick now to go to India? Perhaps its the weather? 93.2 degrees fahrenheit 34 degrees celsius, average rainfall 3 inches in Delhi?

No, there are a lot of places with 93 degree temperatures this time of year.

How bout a chance to meet the people of India. At 333 people per square kilometer versus the United States at 31 per square kilometer he could shake 10 times the number of hands within the same geographic space.

No, he could go to Macau China and shake 18,534 hands in the same square kilometer.

Perhaps it is to solve the current Social Security System problem. In India the average life expectancy is 63 years. If that were the case in America, the Social Security Administration would actually have a surplus by now.

Maybe it is to learn how the people of India manage to live on $458 dollars per capita (per population member). Think of the additional tax monies that could be funneled to Washington when the average American barely manages to survive on $41751 per capita.

India also sports Call Centers, Software Development and Pharmaceutical Research. At an average of $458 dollars per person per capita, we could hire the expertise of 100 Indian workers to every one American worker and leverage our work output to 50 to 100times our current GDP. All of this can be done remotely from the United States using one American worker for every 100 Indian workers. This effectively keeps every American worker employed, employs 100 Indian workers, and drives our GDP to 50 times its current level.

In India we may learn how to eat green. They are the no. 1 producers of tea, banannas, chickpeas, lentils, mangoes, beans, cauliflower, green peas, and millet. They are the number 2 producer of rice, wheat, sugar cane, and wood. Finally they are the number 3 producer of cereals, cotton, potatoes and oranges. All this time I thought they drank tea, wove sisel rope, and rode Indian elephants through the streets. I thought they burnt down all the firewood.

They are the number one producers of oxen, but do they eat them? No. according to one article it takes 10 pounds of grain to produce one pound of meat. The Indians would starve. They consider the cow sacred. Perhaps this is Obamas way of making America become vegetarian.

What about mineral resources you say? Well India does have coal, iron, bauxite, uranium, brown coal, zinc, and lead. Perhaps they could build all the coal plants, steel producing plants and nuclear power plants and we could sell them carbon credits to offset their obscene pollution of the planet. No, that does not sound like a green plan to me. Moving the carbon footprint from one side of the planet to another doesn't make sense either.

What could it be? What could it be? Oh, I've got it. A chance to see the "taj mahal", or Ghandi's footsteps forever memorialized in stone, or the "Humayun Tomb". No, it has to be bigger than that. How bout the Jama Masjid mosque. It is the largest mosque in India and has the capacity to hold 25000 people or more in the courtyard. Perhaps it is a chance to show how the mosque could be incorporated into the setting in New York around the site of 9/11.

Seriously, why do we need our President Obama to make a trip to India at this time and spend the millions of dollars in resources to protect him in an area where he feels vulnerable. Did he get the message of jobs, small government, lower taxes, reduced healthcare costs, and energy independence. Show me the commonsense.

Is Glenn Beck Poisoned or Blessed?

Hi Glenn,

I watched the “being poisoned” episode tonight on television. We do dvr you everyday. Perhaps we all need to be lifted up occasionally.

1) You do a great job of informing those people who want to listen and some who listen to figure out just what you are up to.
2) You encourage all of us to think and do research before we vote for any candidate.
3) You plant seeds as when you challenged seniors to home school grandkids. (I believe the bible also talks about planting seeds.)
4) You make us realize that our kids do not have the same terrible memories we grew up with (Bonhoffer).
5) You make us think about peaceful ways to overcome tyranny as Ghandi did( Jesus Christ also set this example in the bible).
6) You make us believe that God really had a hand in forming this nation, when even my generation grew up thinking church and state was separated at creation.
7) You give me a channel and outlet for commonsense that I thought was lost.
8) You make me think it might really be possible to help kids learn genuine critical thinking skills, rather than succumbing to propaganda and indoctrination.
9) You make me think God reveals his purpose to some of us. You have been blessed. Take strength from that knowledge.

We need to change two other clichés in the American family. I grew up discussing 1) religion and 2) politics within my family and with the neighbors, and yet everyone tries to tell me that this is not acceptable in todays generations. I remember my Grandfather and his acquaintances discussing politics and the price of corn and beef at the local feedstore. I remember my Dad getting into hot debates at the truckstop. Is everyone afraid to debate their views now? Perhaps our government doesn’t want us to develop critical thinking skills.

That would mean simple political ideas like “Hope and Change” might be questioned. Perhaps future generations might ask, what kind of hope or what kind of change? I remember history having been repeated from the Carter administration. Here is another Presidential candidate that came from nowhere, offered “change” and a “break from career politicians”. Guess what. That generation voted for a sorry bill of goods as well. We got high price gqs, lines at the gas pump, and shortages, 21% interest on mortgages, and credit cards broke the 12% ceiling that had been leveled on them at the time. Thank God Carter was a 1 term president.

Dino Rossi Too Nice?

Email to Dino Rossi,

I am an independent. Your website does not mention four critical issues.

1) Do you believe all Congressional bills should have to meet the requirements of the United States constitution?
2) Do you believe in 2 term, term limits?
3) Do you believe all Senator and House members should by law be required to read and understand the bill?
4) Do you believe representatives of the people should be required to listen to the will of the people in town hall meetings?

Next:

You are too nice. Your videos do not show the excitement and the emotion that the American people are feeling who have lost jobs, lost opportunity, watched government leaders blow money we don’t have, watched billion dollar fiascos turn into trillion dollar deals as if billions were a drop in the bucket, and watched the drive to be number one be subverted by people who think we all need to cut back.

This is the time for a dynamic leader to take charge. A man or woman of principles who believes and follows the United States constitution and believes the United States is, and always will be, the shining place of opportunity in the world.

I want to see “we’re number one”, “we’re number one”.

I want to see you beat the drum of “abusive spending” by the current senator Patty Murray. Walking in “lockstep with her party no matter the consequences”. “Supporting legislation she knows is not good for the country” “The Healthcare Bill”. “Supporting legislation she knows is not good for Washington state” “Tarp and stimulus fund”. You have the opportunity to pick every wasteful spending bill she ever supported for 18 years and drum it into the Washington voters mind. You have the opportunity to stand on principles and tell us the voter what you will do for Washington state and the Country.

Please work on the dynamic part. You have the content. Does what you say really come from the heart? Every word I have written here comes from the heart.

I will not support Patty Murray, but I would like better reasons to support Dino Rossi.

Global Warming Fact or Fiction?

Whether global warming is caused by man may be debated by both sides, but the fact that the earth has been far warmer at the time of the dinosaurs and far colder during the glacial periods than it is today is a matter of scientific fact. The United States and the U.K. like to use computer models to forecast the future. The Russians like to use paleo history to forecast what warming trends or cooling trends may cause. Core samples of the earth at different warm or cold periods tell a lot about the life on our planet at that time. They also tell us about rising or lowering sea levels.

If you would like to determine whether global warming is man caused or not, please check out the resources below. By the time you have read them all, you will be convinced that we really don't know, and can't prove it one way or the other at this point.

Why not focus on energy and the benefits of unlimited renewable energy? Utilize fossil fuels, coal reserves, hydroelectric, and nuclear to keep us growing, but invest in more nuclear plants, solar technology, windmills and fuel cell technology to take us forward. According to BP experts and their latest report, the world has proven reserves of oil - 40 years, natural gas - 60 years, and coal - 130 years. At some point we will have to find other non polluting sources and make them available at affordable prices. Let's make it happen now.

The time is now to become energy independent and pollution free. Make energy our new Manhattan project, our new mission to the moon, our answer to 9/11, our answer to building jobs and stimulating the economy.
