why doesn’t the american government support solar power?

Posted on May 20, 2012 by admin| 11 Comments

If all the homes in america got solar panels and we started strongly supporting wind energy, our energy dependence in the middle east would be significantly reduced and I’m sure it would cost about the same as the war in Iraq has cost so far, if not less. Why aren’t we doing it?
To: kfaulk211, it is not “relatively” expensive. The cost of the war in Iraq will end up being at least 750 billion dollars (there are only 300 million americans, so that’s about 1/4 or that in homes: a guess of at most 75 million homes comes out to about $10,000 (per home) which could have gone to installing solar panels into every home in America. You also mention that solar power is not efficient but that is only if you use ONLY solar power, it works perfectly fine if used in conjunction with other sources of energy. As for energy being produced by private companies, I don’t see why the gov’t couldn’t have a private company produce these products and offer them to the American people.

What goes through your mind when someone doesn’t understand that?

Posted on May 14, 2012 by admin| 7 Comments

when someone doesn’t understand that the war in Iraq costs us 12.5 billion dollars per month and …..when someone doesn’t know what a billion dollars is in terms of million dollar units?

***By ending the war in Iraq, Obama would save us 12.5 billion dollars per month. That is over 12 thousand million dollar units per month . ***

***Ending the war in Iraq would easily pay for universal health care, and a free education for all students with good enough grades to get into college, plus the savings would put people back to work working on our bridges and highways and building wind generators, and solar panels to reduce our dependency on foreign oil. ……….. That is how Obama would pay for his proposals to help all Americans. enough said?

Should we take pride in our war with Iraq?

Posted on May 4, 2012 by admin| 25 Comments

It is good Saddam is no longer in power. That aside, we went into Iraq because of lies. Would staying there as long as possible be misdirected pride? We must clean up the mess that we were tricked into, but a real man knows when something is worth standing up for and when he should remain silent. Our fine men and women of the Armed Forces should be proud that they served. What I’m trying to ask is whether we, America, might wind up in an un-winnable situation that we could avoid, but might be led by false pride into getting more of our brave soldiers wounded and killed for little reason? Do we have the men, money, and willpower to continue operations that were initiated by lies and have led us to fighting multiple social movements (insurgencies) in the freaking Middle East? What are your thoughts?

Why don’t libbies, when they do their anti-war protests?

Posted on May 2, 2012 by admin| 10 Comments

do anything productive? I mean, they could protest the war, by mowing old people’s lawns, or shoveling snow for older people. Wouldn’t this be a better protest and a better use of their free time and energy?
PS I do those for my older neighbors for free, so please don’t ask me, “why don’t you do it?”
I am 18, and what does, “having to enlist” have anything to do with this? I mean, with that logic, if you think there is an over-population problem, then you should kill yourself. Do see how stupid that is?
DKlyde, wow, that is all i have to say, nice rant

Why do people believe in a pre-trib Rapture?

Posted on April 15, 2012 by admin| 5 Comments

Is the Pre- Trib rapture the doctrine of devils? After my bible studies I find it hard to believe. Revelation chapter 13:7 states ” it was granted to him to make war with the saints and overcome them. ” Well if the saints are gone how is the anti-christ going to make war with them? Also what makes us more special than Jesus or the prophets who were slain? I think Jesus answers this question in Matthew 24:29-31 ” Immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give it’s light. the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken. Then the sign of the son of man will appear in heaven, and they will see him coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. And he will send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they will gather together His elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.” So how is it then people believe they are not going to be here when Jesus says they will?

Is Baghdad the Next Hiroshima?

Posted on February 7, 2012 by admin| 7 Comments

What Ullman, Powell and other Bushites see now is their vision for high-tech war, “rapid dominance,” or “shock and awe” , the ability to impose complete and total destruction.” When it came to Iraq, Ullman liked the idea of cruise missiles — lots of them, right away. CBS News reported that Ullman’s ideas are the basis for the Pentagon’s war plan. The U.S. will smash Baghdad with up to 800 cruise missiles in the first two days of the war. That’s about one every four minutes, day and night, for 48 hours.
“The missiles will hit far more than just military targets. They will destroy everything that makes life in Baghdad livable. “We want them to quit. We want them not to fight,” Ullman told CBS reporter David Martin. So “you take the city down. You get rid of their power, water. In 2,3,4,5 days they are physically, emotionally and psychologically exhausted.”
Ullman was sure it would work as well in 2003 as it did in 1945: “You have this simultaneous effect, rather like the nuclear weapons at Hiroshima, not taking days or weeks but in minutes.”

What makes you think we are losing this war in Iraq?

Posted on January 30, 2012 by admin| 14 Comments

Yes we have tragically lost 2,500 men and women, we have suffered the indignations of a small group of soldiers mis treating prisoners and possibly civilians, but overall how can some of these people call for retreat and claim we are losing? We have built more schools, more clinics and more mosques then ever, we have restored the power, water, and waste treatment systems in 90% of the country. We have secured more then 75% of the country. We have trained more then 80,000 secruity personnel to take over their own country and have like 45,000 more in training (need is 200,000 I understand). We have helped them hold two elections that had phenomenal turn out even under the fear of violence. How can you say we are losing?

PS. Not too mention its all be done in a time frame faster then anything like it ever.
