Another Desperate Grasp At Relevance

November 22, 2008 by Laura | Trackback URI

On the international stage, has Jimmy Carter actually had even one success? Well, other than empowering Iran to be the pain in the neck it is today, but that was hardly intentional. Looks like people are catching on: Zimbabwe to “Elders”: Get lost

Zimbabwe has refused entry to Jimmy Carter and Kofi Annan for a humanitarian mission intended on estimating the amount of intervention needed to stave off a famine in the breadbasket of Africa. Along with human-rights actvist Graca Machel, the so-called “Elders” assembled by Nelson Mandela failed in their opening mission to solve world hunger and “foster peace”

Reagan Speaks Out Against Socialized Medicine

- Calvin Sans Hobbes -
  Desiring God asks What Can We Gain from Calvin Today? and answers the question with plenty of video goodness.
- Don't they have Second Life in Sweden? -
  You can pick your gender - heck, even your species - in Second Life, and more power to you. But not in real life. This is ridiculous. There is going to be a heavy price to pay for the lunacy of how these people are raising their child, and unfortunately, the child is going to pay it if David Reimer's experience is any guide. If the parents want a fantasy world where you can set every parameter as you like, I suggest they try virtual reality instead.
- RWN: The Rightosphere Temperature Check For June: Sanford, Atheists, Health Care, Oh My! -
  Here are the poll results: The Rightosphere Temperature Check For June: Sanford, Atheists, Health Care, Oh My! - Right Wing News (Conservative News and Views). And yes, I'd vote for an atheist for President if he or she were conservative. Carter, Clinton and Obama proclaim themselves to be Christians, and how again did that help me? Would you vote for an atheist if he were an otherwise acceptable candidate?
- Quote of the Day -
  Good advice for Jon and Kate:
  
  Falling out of love is not a good enough reason to quit. No longer being able to communicate well is not a good enough reason to quit. Feeling trapped and held back from what YOU think is the most fun and fulfilling life for YOU is not a good enough reason to quit. That’s what God says to those who call Jesus their Lord.

  Nothing to add to Henry's post but - HA!

Preserving Democracy

Like an aging monument, democracy itself is crumbling.

An ever increasing government threatens both freedom and a financial collapse.
- Judges are acting more like kings themselves than interpreters of the law.
- Redisticting, voter fraud, campaign finance controls, and an uninformed electorate threaten the integrity of elections.
- The values that made America the greatest country in the world are being supplanted.
- Government's attempts to make people's lives better often have the opposite effect.
What is causing this decay? What can we do?

Preserving Democracy was written to answer these questions.
