Thom Hartmann The Conspiracy Theorist.

Today on my drive into work I was listening to Thom Hartmann on Air America. Now I like Thom Hartmann and while he is ultra liberal, I do like alot of his ideas and no one can say that he doesn't know the facts in any argument. That being said, today I believe he crossed the line. Its one thing to accuse the Bush administration of wrong doing and call for investigations into illegal practices. Its another thing entirely to virtually accuse Dick Cheney of assassinating American citizens. Supposed targets reached as high as U.S. senators Patrick Leahy and Tom Daschle. Don't accusations like this veer off into down right slandering. If what he says is true then fine, but you'd better have evidence, hardcore evidence before you make murderous accusations against the former Vice President of the United States. I always knew Thom Hartmann was a leftist but this goes beyond politics. The spin's getting out of control.

Leave my healthcare to me.

Tonight I watched Bill Clinton's interview on Larry King Live. I'm not the political genius I wish I was so unsuprisingly he said things I hadn't thought about before and things I didn't previously know. One of those things was that In England ( and perhaps other places ) there is not an absolute one payer healthcare system. There is in the regard that everyone is covered under a universal health care program; but, If you can afford your own insurance you are allowed to do so. Now this could agree to. I don't believe it's the governments job to provide people with healthcare but if they choose to do so then those who aren't depending on the government should come first. It may sound devicive but tough. If I've worked hard to provide myself with a certain lifestyle and can afford the level of healthcare I desire, why should I have to wait in line behind someone who depends on the government to provide care for them.

Where's my party?

I'm a religious conservative with mostly liberal economic views. My question is simple; where's my party. The problem with political parties is that it's all or nothing. As politicians go you'd probably be hardpressed to find democrats at a prolife rally or a republican arguing for universal health care. I guess I have to consider myself an independent on these grounds and who's looking out for me, because It's not Obama and friends and its not Mitchell and Baner either. The unavoidable truth is that I and others that think like me have no voice and unless someone with Ideas that aren't instilled in them along party lines takes a stand against his/her own party every now and again we never will.........I won't hold my breath.

Shut up Rush.

Is it just me or are there any other conservative thinkers that believe Rush Limbaugh is doing more harm than good. Sure, he appeals to the Republican core but he's not doing much good in the way of winning over the middle. Democrats have done a great job proclaiming Rush the head of the Republican party and if it continues we can hang up any chance at the White House in 2012.

Savior of what????

I thought I'd kick my first post off with something I've been thinking about lately. With President Obama hailed by the left as the savior of America, just what is he saving. The stock markets taking a nose dive, capitalism is soon to be on the History channel and with the reversal of the embryonic stemcell research ban so is any remnant of morality. Is he truly saving America or just finishin' her off?
