It is illegal to be a conservative

It is pretty frustrating that liberals talk about tolerance and acceptance, but they can never practice what they preach. I do hope that some will "see the light" and learn proper discussion techniques to articulate their responses... rather than the "What about, what about, what about arguments" ...It is clear that there is a double standard in regards to how we deal with liberals and conservatives in regards to the law.



Ann Coulter has a great article that addresses it here Shooting Elephants in A Barrel remember she is one of my Right Wing divas.

House Comparison

Interesting House comparison... this was forwarded from a friend... I would be interested to see the sources of the information....


HOUSE # 1:

A 20-room mansion (not including 8 bathrooms) heated by natural gas.
Add on a pool (and a pool house) and a separate guest house all
heated by gas. In ONE MONTH ALONE this mansion consumes more energy
than the average American household in an ENTIRE YEAR. The average
bill for electricity and natural gas runs over $2,400.00 per month.
In natural gas alone (which last time we checked was a fossil fuel),
this property consumes more than 20 times the national average for an
American home. This house is not in a northern or Midwestern "snow
belt," either. It's in the South.

HOUSE # 2:

Designed by an architecture professor at a leading national
university, this house incorporates every "green" feature current
home construction can provide. The house contains only 4,000 square
feet (4 bedrooms) and is nestled on arid high prairie in the American
southwest. A central closet in the house holds geothermal heat pumps
drawing ground water through pipes sunk 300 feet into the ground. The
water (usually 67 degrees F.) heats the house in winter and cools it
in summer. The system uses no fossil fuels such as oil or natural
gas, and it consumes 25% of the electricity required for a
conventional heating/cooling system. Rainwater from the roof is
collected and funneled into a 25,000 gallon underground cistern.
Wastewater from showers, sinks and toilets goes into underground
purifying tanks and then into the cistern. The collected water then
irrigates the land surrounding the house. Flowers and shrubs native
to the area blend the property into the surrounding rural landscape.

HOUSE #1 (20 room energy guzzling mansion) is outside of
Nashville,Tennessee. It is the abode of that renowned
environmentalist (and filmmaker) Al Gore.

HOUSE #2 (model eco-friendly house) is on a ranch near Crawford,
Texas. Also known as "the Texas White House," it is the private
residence of the President of the United States, George W. Bush.

Ann Coulter is my Diva....


I am calling this Reid's Rhetoric still working on what that means. I have been watching the postings and participating on excellent chat board, that is fronted by one of my favorite right wing divas Ann Coulter. If you are unaware of her work, you should check it out. ANN COUTLER'S WEBSITE. Weak minded need not to apply, she is very direct and does not mince words. If you are looking to work on your current events knowledge. Then I suggest that you even check out the chat link, and the message boards. While there is a strong conservative feel, and you have to sort through some of the blather, there are many viewpoint that are represented. There are some excellent civil debates and the moderators do an excellent job of keeping it all organized and "clean"... Even if you do not participate in the boards you will find her articles of current events interesting, and she has a position that is not the same liberal spin that you hear everyday in Main Stream Media. (MSM) ... In fact, I fond her right on the money most of the time!
