Finest Links in all of Christendom
Jo-Joe Politico starts with a post questioning whether we can afford to go green. It includes this unsettling fact, “According to a study from King Juan Carlos University in Madrid, Spain, for every "green" job created trying to generate energy from windmills and solar panels, 2.2 jobs were lost.” Then Joe has a post titled ‘Is This A Christian Nation.’ And along the same lines is a post about Jefferson’s religious views. Jefferson did not believe in miracles or in the divinity of Jesus but he was not a Deist either (though I think you could accurately say that he was within micrometers of being a Deist). Joe’s piece sets out where Jefferson stood with a number of quotes from his writings. This post about Jefferson seems to have arisen from a disagreement in the comments section. If Joe disagrees with you he won’t get nasty or personal: he gets all factual and logical. He is a teacher and his writing exudes harmony. He has the deep down calming effect of a man who knows clearly what he believes and knows what his purpose in life is. He’s a veritable Balm of Gilead for the net. He has also added some great music to his site.
Pundit and Pundette has a wide ranging post that starts with them attending an, “event [that] was teeming with large families and right wing extremism of all sorts.” The speaker believes, “"Live baby, good -- dead baby, bad." Something of a no-brainer.” They were at a commencement ceremony at a small Catholic college and the speaker was Jude Dougherty. Then the post moves to the demonstrations planned for Notre Dame and some discussion of the abortion issue. P & P also have a good post about the Uyghurs and our right to bare arms unrelated to the second amendment.
And So It Goes In Shreveport posts about conservative dissatisfaction with Charlie Crist. A money quote: “"Charlie Crist goes all wobbly in the knees every time he hears Barack Obama's voice.” (You had me puking at ‘knees’) Pat also has a post about Mitt Romney’s speech at the NRA convention. I called my father yesterday and in the middle of the conversation I was searching through Pat’s old posts for this one about Louisiana’s HonorAir program. It seems that when I reached my Dad he was on one of their buses in DC on the way to the WWII memorial. The program was set up to take the WWII vets to see the new WWII memorial in the capital. My father loved it. He even became tearful when talking about how kind they were to him and the other vets (my father has never been shy about crying, usually happy tears; my Mom used to tease him mercilessly about it but I think she actually loved him more because if it). My father fought in the Pacific and he inculcated in me great reverence for American exceptionalism. He’s a Stevenson Democrat but all through my childhood I can remember him saying with great conviction that only in America could someone like him expect to have so great a life. I am grateful to HonorAir for doing this for my Dad.
Jane Q. Republican has an accurate haiku about Nancy Pelosi. Then she has a post about some strange goings on at the White House. Quick summary is: Obama claimed health care industry spokesmen promised colossal savings but the spokesmen deny saying what the Prez said then a White House spokesgirl said the Prez ‘misspoke’ only to deny that there had been a misspeaking within the hour. Jane Q., of course makes it clearer than I did.

The Finest Links in All of Christendom
Hot Air.com has a clip with a miraculous story about a wounded soldier. I cannot recommend this highly enough. General David Petraeus is a major part of the story. Which got me to thinking that he would be a great presidential candidate. But one of the commenters wisely observed that the ugly, filthy dirt that the MSM would do the general might just be more than a decent man needs or wants in his life. Sad that it has come to this: the lefties win because they'll throw more lying filth than most people want to be near?. HA also linked a good analysis of the relations among Obama, Palestine, Rahm Emanuel and Israel written by Alan Dershowitz. Then HA has a link to a great story in a small town paper about Obama’s ever changing positions and prouncements. The Jawa Report has an analysis of the actions of Lt. Choi who just rebelled against don’t ask don’t tell in the military. Jawa also addresses Perez Hilton and here are just a couple of sentences: "Perez Hilton Has Convinced Me......that it's just wrong to try to hold a moderate position on homosexual issues.
"The continued vicious persecution of Miss USA contestant Carrie Prejean clearly demonstrates that most gay men are too mentally unstable and utterly self-absorbed to function in society."
Pat at So It Goes In Shreveport has some reflections on the cowboy spirit with a shirtless picture of Steve McQueen.
Jo-Joe Politico writes about presidential honesty. He did some fact checking for this.
Pundit and Pundette have a post about Barack Obama’s arrogance which you might find interesting if you haven’t been irretrievably convinced by Katie Couric that it’s just an extra special mode of wonderful. They also have a good piece about how Obama played and mislead the 9/11 and the USS Cole families. The most mind opening thing I saw there was a quote given from a Hot Air post about gay marriage. I am reprinting a big chunk of it since it nails the situation we are faced with: “Two or three generations is a very short time to push an idea from unthinkable to inevitable. Many Americans don’t like the way this particular change is being presented as mandatory, with all opposition dismissed as evil, insane, or ignorant. It’s bad enough to be told you must put forth an opinion about something you’d rather not think about. It’s even worse when you’re told that only one opinion is acceptable. Perez Hilton wasn’t asking Carrie Prejean a question - he was demanding submission. Thoughtless genuflection to “the right of gay persons in love to get married” is the jizya paid to the dominant culture, and you’re not allowed to squeak out so much as a tepid salute to traditional marriage until you’ve paid it“
At Insert clever s.logan here Suzanna posted about the American entrepreneurial spirit, But if you absolutely don’t want to read about the dildos that look like Obama and Romney, don’t go there.
