Thank you very much for the compliment, I really appreciate it. Good luck with your new website. I did block the URL, however, because of the nature of the website. 95% of the time, BitTorrents are used for illegal purposes, and that percentage is even higher for games. In any event, good luck, and let's hope everything stays legal.

Well thank you very much, hopefully it will get more interesting over time..

Thank you very much. You'd like to keep up with my site, meaning, my blog posts? If this is so, then feel free to subscribe to the RSS feed. If that's not what you meant, let me know. Thanks :)

Thank you :)

Fimbo you're a complete moron. If you just listened to what Kevin has been saying for well over a year now, then you'd see that the left are the real racists.

By the way, if you're going to link drop on Kevin's blogs, at least use a CREDIBLE source.

Great post, Doug. Have you added this to FR?

I feel the work has been productive by Collins and Snowe, but the picture is so much larger- especially beyond this bill. I don't care if a senator is republican or democrat, it is an utter embarrassment to ME, an American citizen, that we are being fooled so badly with this, any many other, bills. Not voting on spending is fundamentally undemocratic, and I want every bit of it to cease. I would most certainly like to see programs being cut, and some "on the edge" programs, such as faith based programs, are definitely in jeopardy. However, as history has shown, people flock to faith based organizations for help and guidance in times of economic stress- is cutting these programs going to do harm? I believe there is a high likelihood of that, so I hope those options are weight carefully. I agree with you about the first programs to be cut, and many of them will be from the GWBush era. However, judging on Obama's all-out push for this pork laden spending bill, I am worried that many spending programs- or programs with unnecessary spending infused into them- will not be cut. Thanks for the comment!

Overall, I believe that we agree that we need to be very careful with our resources and pass legislation to increase awareness and energy efficiency. I also believe that our fossil fuels are rapidly declining, and I am not satisfied with other current technologies. With that said, I still do not believe in man made global warming, but the steps that those fearing man made global warming want to put into place will ultimately help the earth- so I am not &quot;against&quot; protecting Mother Nature. I just disagree with the fear factor about it all, and the absence of proof is a major hurdle. Now, one subject that Obama has utterly failed on, which you mentioned about, is the stimulus. Obama has employed scare tactics.. &quot;pass it now or we may never recover!&quot;, etc. The good about the stimulus is covered up by inexcusable wasteful spending. Have you checked this thing out? $350,000,000 for birth control? Cash for ILLEGALS? Health insurance for already insured children? What the heck is going on? This is not an economic stimulus bill, it is a spending bill. Sure, that klutz Barney Frank said you must spend to fix the economy, and yes that is true, but one thing he forgets is you must spend in ways which will stimulate the economy. I like the idea of earnings caps on those executives whose companies are bailed out, but I will never ever agree on the government capping the earnings of CEOs. I believe that regulations should be in place to put pressure on corporations against wasteful spending- high CEO payouts is wasteful. However, limiting the income of a CEO is not what I view American, and the government has no place doing that. It should be achieved in a better way. As far as your accomplishments of GWB question, here is a nice listing of some of them: <a href="http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1066122/..." target="_blank">http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1066122/...Now, I believe a better question would be, do you really think GBW had no accomplishments at all? Sure, the media painted him as a failure, but did you see beyond that? I mean, no terrorists attacks is a good thing... right?

Have you considered the chance your missing something that's not so &quot;complex&quot; in my postings? Secondly, your little spoof about &quot;anyone can get a study to prove anything&quot; was a nice attempt to discredit any response, but the fact is major figures in the field have denounced this man made global warming fad. From the founder of the Weather Channel to leaders of various countries, thousands of scientists, and more have all said it's a big hoax. Believe what you want, for I will not bad mouth you for your efforts- protecting the earth is very noble. I just don't agree with the fear tactics and lies with the whole thing. I do, however, strongly believe we need to implement practices to better protect nature. Thirdly, you seem to fail to realize that one does not have to be an &quot;expert&quot; in the field to speak about it? I'm sure all you liberals would love for conservatives to not speak up- as far too many have been doing- but that's not how I go about things. I 'know what I know', and you better damn well bet I am knowledgeably speaking of global warming. I don't even know why I am debating this with you, our nation has far greater problems than the earth's temperatures slightly rising. I agree that Obama is human and will make mistakes, but did you apply this same mentality to George W. Bush? Don't get me wrong, I am certainly no fan of W- he did a lot of hard to our country, certainly was not a model republican, and was most definitely was a political sellout (think free market system). Credit is seriously over applied to Obama, and seriously under applied to Bush. So far, Obama hasn't done anything notable. Granted, it is still way early on, but the backtracking and &quot;slow down on the change thing&quot; is getting old. Expect for his poll numbers to fall even more over the next months. I love how the American people pushed Obama up on such a peditstool- one any politician would have trouble managing. However, in this case, there has been absolutely zero reason to put faith in this man, besides words and a cult following. Empty suit, so far. I do wish him the best, though. Our country needs it, and that's something I hope we both can agree on.
