Poll
Was the Copenhagen Global Warming Summit Walk-Out a Win for the U.S.?


Economic growth will be slowed in favor of achieving economic equality.

Unions will be allowed to abolish secret ballots.

Serious attempts will be made to shut down the most effective opposition to the left -- talk radio.

The defense budget will be severely decreased.

Judges will be chosen based on their commitment to empathize with the downtrodden (Obamas own stated criterion for choosing judges), not based on their commitment to judging according to neutral rules that are blind to the individuals status in life.

Same-sex marriage will become national law as the Defense of Marriage Act is repealed and liberal judges rule that defining marriage as man-woman is unconstitutional.

Coal, nuclear energy, and new drilling will be discouraged and dependency on foreign oil will therefore rise while rationing of energy is instituted.

Companies will seek to do more and more business abroad as they become taxed more than in any other Western country.

Israel will be pressured to make peace.

America will leave Iraq whether or not Iraq is ready for us to do so, thereby increasing Islamic terror there and elsewhere.

Parents will have fewer years to instill their values in their children, as earlier and earlier education becomes the norm.

Judeo-Christian values, the founding values of America, will continue to recede in influence as America becomes more and more a secular-left country like those of Western European.

And when all this -- and much more -- transforms America, no one American will be able to argue they didnt know. Barack Obama promised it.

French Connection (Appalachian music)
Hey ! Dennis :)

The music your sound guy/procure used when you mentioned the note from France was more appropriate than you think as the French of had an impact on Celtic, blue Grass and other forms of music for a few hundred years.

Keep up the great work, Scott-Lou.KY.(Bill Monroe Land :)

Americans vote for the smart guy
The republican party has become the party of scared afraid white people. They are scared of religious diversity and the multiplicity of belief in the global world, they are afraid of Muslims and people who do not look and act just like them, they are afraid of the challenge that science and technology promotes and the change brought by creativity and invention, they are afraid of silly gay people and they are afraid of their own government.

President Bush wanted to be the president of the united states and succeeded, but he was not willing to do the hard work that the job required. Bush the decider left the crucial decisions that have failed this county up to individuals who demonstrated confidence and force of will because he was quite frankly not very interested in the details and the difficult task of intellectual rigor and analysis. Regardless of your view of the stated foreign policy the Bush administration allowed an astonishing amount of incompetence and political crony ism to flourish in his government.

The people of America saw something very much different in Obama and that is his confidence and competence. We voted for the smartest man in the room for a change because the problems we all face are very troubling. America is tired of the same partisan bs that conservative talk seems unable to give up.
