Comment on Installed my first Window Sash Replacement Kit by booksbrown

I’m faced with the decision to change my homes windows this year also. I was also looking at the MW option. Now that you have yours for a few months, how do you like it? Did it help, and to what degree, with the winter weather this year? The window looks nice and seems to have given your house a new look as well. Many thanks, Charles

Thanks for checking into it. Honestly, I’m pretty aggravated by this election. I don’t like Obama at all. I think the Democrats are all posers who just want to be in the limelight so they’ll say anything. Nor do I like John McCain or Sarah Palin. I’m not so sure that she really said that going to Iraq was God’s will, but the fact that she was praying to discern whether or not it was is weird enough. It seems to me that war is never God’s ‘will’ so why would you even pray for that? And, yeah, the pro-life line is interesting. On the one hand, you’re pro-life because you want to save unborn babies, but you’re pro-death because you want war and capital punishment. And, I’m not so sure that making abortion illegal is going to do any good. We need to get to the root of the problem, which, in my opinion, is the disintegration of the family. Part of that is the fact that mothers are spreading their lives around all over the place. I think moms should be home with their kids rather then running for VP. If we had more focus on keeping families entact and educating our children properly (I homeschool so I won’t start in on public education here), we might not even know what the word ‘abortion’ means. I’m reading this book called, ‘The Ethics of What We Eat’ that is making me disgusted by the agricultural policies of this country. Again, I don’t think Obama or McCain are going to change that one. I like Ron Paul. I think he could bring about some REAL change. I’m strongly contemplating just writing him in. Have you ever read Wendell Berry? I think you’d like him. Thanks again for commenting.

Comment on Bush, McCain and Palin’s Holy War by Cranford Joseph Coulter

An Assemblies of God historian who is an AGer herself watched the tape and concurred that Palin was saying that this is a holy war. Since all war is sin, it by definition is not good or holy, or defensible as so. A preemptive war that uses torture, selective, personal targeting of individuals, by an administration that says it is not bound by international law or by American law or any standards of human decency cannot be characterized in any context as a task from God.
Regarding abortion, John McCain said in 2000 and 2002 that he was opposed to repealing Roe v. Wade because it would lead to many women seeking illegal, unsafe abortions. Sounds like the NARAL argument to me.
Torture was mentioned at the RNC only to remind us that McCain was tortured in Viet Nam. He even confessed that it broke him, so that he gave a statement that he was a war criminal. Now he supports the US government’s use of the same Chinese torture methods. So, what is he saying? If torture can be relied upon to get good information, then John McCain is a war criminal.
On pro-life, the proof of the pudding is in the eating. Clinton’s policies (which are the same as Obama’s) reduced abortions. If we have universal prenatal care, immunizations and childhood health coverage, infant deaths and other long term, costly health problems will be reduced. These are programs the Republicans have vehemently opposed. If our goal is really to protect and nurture life, the only choice in our one party/two party system is Obama and the Democrats.
How many innocent Iraqi and Palestinian children have been killed by this administration? How many Columbian children have been killed by the secret war that Bush has conducted there?

Hi, Cranford! Interesting post. Just for a different take on things, you should check out ‘www.bonovox.squarespace.com’ for his thoughts. Check out the comments on his post about Sara Palin. I’d love to know what you think. Another interesting one to check out is ‘www.paradosis.blogspot.com’. Thanks for you insights!

Hey, Cranford! Love the blog. And I love ‘Come and See Icons’. At any rate, I agree with a lot of your sentiments and will be adding a link to your blog on mine. I’ll be back. . .
