The Reason For The Season

"Tis' the season". But, what is the season exactly? For millions of people, it is the celebration of Christmas, the time of year when we remember the night that God gave his only Son to us so that we may all obtain salvation.

Sometimes that message can be lost amongst the lights and gift giving that consumes the month of December. Now don't get me wrong, I love the lights and festivities. It gives me that great warm fuzzy feeling.

This December, however, has been full of sadness as I have just lost my Grandmother. On December 11th, 2007, the Lord called my grandma home and we are left here on earth mourn her passing. It's a strange feeling of both sadness and joy as we remember just how much we will miss her, while we rejoice that she is now in Heaven and that we will see her again, even though it will not be here on Earth.

Love is the reason for the season. "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, so that those whosoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have ever lasting life." Let us never forget this. Because of God's love, we have a chance for salvation and peace.

We give gifts because we love to see our friends and family happy. Because we love them. As long as we keep this important fact about Christmas alive, no manner of evil, corporate shallowness, or political correctness can ruin Christmas

Liberals: Simple people, with simple problems and simple solutions

What do you see when you look at the ground? Chances are you are thinking, "pavement" or "concrete", which is fine. It is a simple view of what it is. Not everything has to be complicated. No need to consider that it is a product of thousands of years of innovation or even to consider the engineering feats needed to make it.

But there are some things that are not simple. Liberals however would like to state that it is simple. Everything is simple and therefore everything has a simple answer if only we "evil conservatives" would get out of their way.

Global warming is simple according to them. They say that we are speeding up global warming because we use too much oil. Because we use aerosol cans. Never mind that all the experts state that there are over 600 individual factors contributing to global warming.

It's like you can't turn on the tv or watch a movie without some sort of green propaganda showing the water levels rising so much that it wipes out humanity in seconds. Sure it makes for a great action sequence, but the committee in charge of Global warming research at the UN of all places says that according to their "models", that the water level is expected to rise about 3 feet in the NEXT 100 YEARS!!! That's roughly one foot every 33 years, That's incredibly SMALL!

Here's a premise that is not so simple, so liberals, you may want to turn on John Stuart now and leave this to the adults. Think about this. During the Clinton administration, old buddies from Enron had a meeting with the Clintons and good old "Saint" Gore to discuss the business benefits of the Kyoto protocol. Business benefits?? What ever could those be?

Tell me, what is more profitable than an energy source that everyone has pretty much no choice but to buy? Give up? A forced outsourcing of our energy needs to lesser nations. Cheaper nations. Step one, make it illegal to drill for oil locally citing environmental reasons. (ANWAR and the Gulf of Mexico) Step two, enforce Kyoto protocol to make only lesser nations who do not fall under Kyoto principles the only nations that can produce oil. You get it cheap, and then sell it at 100 bucks a barrel because the area is foreign and politically unstable. Sound familiar? Wait, it gets better.
Now, create an advertising platform where your target audience can feel like good people for helping the environment by buying your over priced "green" products like eco friendly lightbulbs and hybrid cars. Then make certain cheap items illegal. Here in San Francisco, they have outlawed plastic bags. I went grocery shopping today and it was a living hell. A few of the bags ripped causing the contents to spill out onto the floor and they were so bulky that they would not fit in the trunk of a taxi that had over half it's space filled with a NATURAL GAS TANK!

Ok, so for the liberals. Here it is plain and simple. Green is a SCAM! There are whole new industries starting up that are making money off laws you promote. Did you know that there is now an entire industry devoted to regulating "carbon credits"? Did you know that before Enron went under, that it was the biggest supporter of "green" technology and that GE and BP helped set it up to make them more money? Yes folks, it's all about the green.
