Religion has Killed More People than Anything Else?

"Religion has killed more people than anything else", has been tossed around as fact for decades now, but is it true?

Normally, this is pointed at Christians and Muslims, but even if one includes Pagans (Romans feeding Christians to lions and such), all totalled this doesn't even begin to compete with the up to 300 million killed by the Soviet Union (Atheist) or the countless millions killed by science (atomic bombs, poison gases, etc).

Just a thought for today.

"Comrade" Obama?

No need for me to ask what kind of "Change" might be coming, I think we can now see what Obama means by "Change". Can you say, "Comrade"?

Gov. Blunt Statement on Obama Campaign’s Abusive Use of Missouri Law Enforcement


JEFFERSON CITY - Gov. Matt Blunt today issued the following statement on news reports that have exposed plans by U.S. Senator Barack Obama to use Missouri law enforcement to threaten and intimidate his critics.


“St. Louis County Circuit Attorney Bob McCulloch, St. Louis City Circuit Attorney Jennifer Joyce, Jefferson County Sheriff Glenn Boyer, and Obama and the leader of his Missouri campaign Senator Claire McCaskill have attached the stench of police state tactics to the Obama-Biden campaign.


“What Senator Obama and his helpers are doing is scandalous beyond words, the party that claims to be the party of Thomas Jefferson is abusing the justice system and offices of public trust to silence political criticism with threats of prosecution and criminal punishment.


“This abuse of the law for intimidation insults the most sacred principles and ideals of Jefferson. I can think of nothing more offensive to Jefferson’s thinking than using the power of the state to deprive Americans of their civil rights. The only conceivable purpose of Messrs. McCulloch, Obama and the others is to frighten people away from expressing themselves, to chill free and open debate, to suppress support and donations to conservative organizations targeted by this anti-civil rights, to strangle criticism of Mr. Obama, to suppress ads about his support of higher taxes, and to choke out criticism on television, radio, the Internet, blogs, e-mail and daily conversation about the election.


“Barack Obama needs to grow up. Leftist blogs and others in the press constantly say false things about me and my family. Usually, we ignore false and scurrilous accusations because the purveyors have no credibility. When necessary, we refute them. Enlisting Missouri law enforcement to intimidate people and kill free debate is reminiscent of the Sedition Acts - not a free society.”

Emmy's

Well it seems that one guy summed the Democrat controlled Emmy's, "Love TV, fear the Internet". That makes sense, since the Internet is the people's voice, and TV is an attempt at controlled brainwashing of the public.

So yes fear the Internet!

History and Obama Part II

After my last post, something was picking at the back of my mind, and it came to me today. Obama wants to negotiate with terrorists (Iran).

History Time: Neville Chamberlain was the Prime Minister for Britain before Winston Churchill. Chamberlain signed the "Munich Agreement" on September 29, 1939 with Hitler. On September 30th he gave is infamous "Peace for Our Time" speech. By May 20th 1940, Germany was at the English Channel. Chamberlain had resigned 10 days earlier and luckily for Britain, and the world, Churchill took over.

Fast forward to today and we see a smooth talker that wants to negotiate with a country that wants to wipe Jews off the face of the planet.

Those Who Cannot Remember The Past, Are Condemned To Repeat It

While I am no fan of McCain, "Those who cannot remember the past, are condemned to repeat it". George Santayana in "Reason in Common Sense" (Vol 1 of his "The Life of Reason") came to mind last night, with Obama, a Democrat, claiming victory in the 2008 Democrat Primary.

Well it seems Obama, a Democrat, is the young person's canidate. As I've spoken with some younger folks that want to vote for him. So since they mostly fall in the 18-26 year old category, here's a some facts they may want to think about before voting for a Democrat this Fall.

Fact: On May 18, 1917, the Selective Service Act was passed and then used by President Woodrow Wilson, a Democrat, during World War I.

Fact: The first (in US history) peacetime draft was The Selective Training and Service Act of 1940, and used during World War ll by President Franklin D. Roosevelt, a Democrat.

Fact: In 1948 the draft was re-instated by President Harry Truman, a Democrat, and was expanded via the Universal Military Training and Service Act in 1951,for the War in Korea.

Fact: US involvement in the Vietnam War was from 1959 to 1975, but it was in 1965 when troops where set in mass under President Lyndon B. Johnson, a Democrat, after the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution was passed in August 1964 allowing him to use the draft.

Fact: In 1980 the Selective Service registration was started up again by President Jimmy Carter, a Democrat, and remains active till this very day.

I wonder if 18-26 year olds will want to vote for a Democrat after knowing these facts? Iraq may be an unpopular war, but so far no one has been drafted to go, maybe that's the change he keeps talking about?
