As the General Election nears the 90 day countdown, that’s about 3 months for you Democrats, John “Come back Kid” McCain is closing the gap on Barack “Citizen of the World” Obama in the polls.

An awful lot of the “right” talk today has been about Obama’s energy plan or lack thereof. My boy Newt Gingrich had me in stitches tonight on O’Reilly. Gingrich clearly showed no control when on his third or forth mention of Obama’s latest energy policy broke out in laughter. How do you defend, with a straight face, Obama’s latest comment? He instructed us to fill our tires with proper air pressure and get our engines tuned up? Really? That’s the best you got?! Good grief. I can’t believe this race is even this close.

And Obama says, ” Hey, we should be debating about the issues.” I say, “well… let’s debate.” Like Ludacris says, “Let’s do it.” While we’re at it let’s paint the White House black, right? Both won’t happen.

Two rules, though, if there was a debate: No teleprompters and no ear pieces. We want to hear the Junior Senator speak for himself. Just once, I’m begging.

All McCain needs to do is keep hammering his positions. Obama’s true colors are leaking through.

The arrogance of this Junior Senator is becoming the brunt of jokes in the late night talk show scene. Obama was overheard asking a Staples employee if “this chair would look good in an ‘oval’ office,” made a Letterman list; ’signs Obama is becoming too arrogant, or something.’

But speaking of McCain’s positions. They really haven’t made the forefront of this campaign as much as one might expect. Well, John McCain’s remarks today about a Lexington Project got me all fired up. Here’s a little taste.

Thank you all very much. It’s good to be here in Las Vegas, and I appreciate your inviting me to speak about America’s energy problems. Some might think Vegas an unlikely setting for a discourse touching on energy conservation. And in the interest of brevity, I’ll just skip the part about air conditioning and neon lighting.

That was his intro…

All the details from his Lexington Project is here!!

this was his conclusion…

In recent days I have set before the American people an energy plan, the Lexington Project — named for the town where Americans asserted their independence once before. And let it begin today with this commitment: In a world of hostile and unstable suppliers of oil, this nation will achieve strategic independence by 2025.

This pledge is addressed to all concerned — to those abroad whose power flows from an accident of geology, and to you, my fellow Americans, whose strength proceeds from unity of purpose. Together, we will break the power of OPEC over the United States. And never again will we leave our vital interests at the mercy of any foreign power.

Some will say this goal is unattainable within that relatively short span of years — it’s too hard and we need more time. Let me remind them that in the space of half that time — about eight years — this nation conceived and carried out a plan to take three Americans to the Moon and bring them safely home. In less than a third of that time, the gathered energies of my father’s generation built the industrial might that overcame Nazi Germany and imperial Japan. That is the scale of our achievement when we set our minds to a task. That is what this country can do when we see a danger, and declare a purpose, and find the will to act.

As president, I will turn all the apparatus of government in the direction of energy independence for our country — authorizing new production, building nuclear plants, perfecting clean coal, improving our electricity grid, and supporting all the new technologies that one day will put the age of fossil fuels behind us. Much will be asked of industry as well, as automakers and others adapt to this great turn toward new sources of power. And a great deal will depend on each one of us, as we learn to make smarter use of energy, and also to draw on the best ideas of both parties, and work together for the common good.

This Project is not a plan calibrated to please every interest group or to meet every objection. That is how we arrived to our present predicament. That is how energy policy in Washington became a long list of subjects avoided, options ruled out, and possibilities foreclosed. Nor can I promise you that the long-term success of this Project will bring instant relief. In the mission of energy security, some tasks are the work of decades and some the work of years. And they will take all the will and resolve of which we are capable. But I can promise you this. Unless we begin this mission now, nothing will change at all, except for the worse. And when we succeed in the hard reform ahead, your children will live in a more prosperous country, in a more peaceful world.

This is a test of foresight, of political courage, and of the unselfish concern that one generation owes to the next. It is a test of our nation’s ability to deal with serious matters in a serious way. It is even a test of America’s character, of our capacity to respond to pressure and to overcome adversity. Americans don’t hide from history or acquiesce in playing its victims. We make history, and we make the future better than the past. In my life I have seen the character of Americans tested, and tested in the most extreme circumstances, and I never doubt that Americans can do hard things and do them right. That is what is asked of us right now, once again, and together we will see the mission through. Thank you.

Okay party people, I would encourage you all to read the details of the Lexington Project, if you haven’t already. Read all of McCain’s remarks from today. They’re absolutely brilliant and in typical “Maverick” style.

And keep an eye out for the book, “The Obama Nation,” by what’s-his-nuts. I keep forgetting the author. But it’ll give you more insight about this “Citizen of the World.”

Are oil prices being manipulated? When oil is in such demand, isn’t it odd that our leaders cannot seem to get on the same page and do the obvious? Is oil the “New World” currency?

I encourage you all to watch “The Energy Non-Crisis,” with former Pastor Lindsey Williams. Here’s a tid-bit:

“We are being controlled in every area of our lives; even the tooth brush you will use tonight to brush your teeth with.”

Here are the facts:
There is as much crude oil in the north slope of Alaska as there is in Saudi Arabia.

The Governor of Alaska stated on March 18, 2005, “There is potentially enough crude oil on the north slope of Alaska to supply the entire United States of America for 200 years.”

Peak oil is a misnomer. It is an idea that was perpatrated by the powers that be for the purpose of deceiving the American public.

Russia has just drilled some “super deep wells” to the depth of 40,230 feet. Super deep wells which they call “Kola SG3″. They have found massive amounts of oil.

The world is no where near running out of crude oil.

Gasoline could be less than $1.50 a gallon within less than one year if only our President and Vice President and administrators in Washington would only be honest with the American people.

There is enough natural gas on the north slope of Alaska to supply the entire United States of America for over 200 years if ever other natural gas well in America were cut of tomorrow morning.

At the projected rate of increased consumption every 24 hours at Prudhoe Bay, Alaska on the north slope where the large oil field is they pump back into the ground ONE BILLION cubic feet of natural gas that comes up with the oil. You did hear correctly.

They are using forty-eight (48), 747-type jet aircraft engines in order to pump that one billion cubic feet of natural gas back into the ground.

To hear more facts and see this video go to.

Although it’s a long video, about 75 minutes, you will be glad you saw it. I guarantee-you will be blown away!

Kentucky Pursues ‘In God We Trust’ License Plate

Kentucky Gov. Steve Beshear, a Democrat, is seeking legislation authorizing “In God We Trust” license plates at no additional cost.

Joe Prather, Beshear’s transportation secretary, sent a letter Monday asking the state House and Senate transportation committees to pass legislation to create the plates.

Similar legislation passed the House this year, but failed in the Senate.

” ‘In God We Trust’ is essentially our national motto,” Beshear told The Courier-Journal. “And that national motto belongs to every American and indeed every Kentuckian. In my opinion, nobody should have to pay extra to have that national motto reflected on their license plate.”

Several states, including Indiana, South Carolina and North Carolina, offer “In God We Trust” license plates.—CitizenLink.org

See Virginia, there really is a decent Democrat.

…one small unnoticeable piece at a time.

They’ve sickened and killed our pets, they’ve poisoned our children with lead based paints, they’ve illegally subsidized corporations to lower cost and undercut American manufacturers while devastating our economy. And now we are watching them drill for oil in the Gulf of Mexico.

As congress hesitates to allow the U.S. to drill in its own coastal waters in the Gulf, the Chinese are taking advantage.

And people, they don’t care about consequences and they aren’t even equipped to handle an ecological disaster should there be a spill.

Reports have been made of the Chinese using tactics of slant drilling off the Cuban coast into the Florida Straits. They are tapping into U.S. oil reserves estimated between 5 to 10 billion barrels. This is like digging into the vault of a bank from a neighboring backyard.

This oil stash compares to the 4 to 10 billion barrels in An-war where tree huggers, more specifically caribou lovers, are holding a proverbial gun to congress’ head. Experts say drilling in An-war would not harm or endanger the caribou. Permission to drill failed by only two senatorial votes.

In Michael Reagan’s article titled, Put The Blame Where It Belongs he says,

We’re in the mess in which we find ourselves because of a small handful of people… three individuals two who are located in New York City. If you want to drill in Alaska or the Gulf of Mexico or in the continental U.S. — where billions of gallons of petroleum are just waiting to be tapped — or build refineries, these three people stand in your way; John Flicker of the National Audubon Society, Frances Beinecke of the Natural Resources Defense Council, and Trip Van Noppen of the organization Earthjustice.

Reports have also stated that there is more oil in Alaska than there is in Saudi Arabia. But the caribou are endangered. This is wacky, people. We’ll slaughter millions of unborn babies because of convenience but won’t dare inconvenience the caribou to save our nations oil dependencies.

We need to wake up; stopping hitting the snooze button. And by all means, quit worrying about the latest “buzz” in Hollywood, or the hottest fashion trend. And being politically correct is disabling our abilities to discern right from wrong.

Bottom line: Buy American on every level. We’re supporting foreign government subsidized companies that don’t give a damn about the war on terror. Don’t buy another piece of Chinese made junk with their name on it. Send a message to these corporate greed-driven CEO’s.

Read Michael Reagan’s full article for contact information to those three knuckleheads and let them know how you feel. Keep on eye on what your congress representatives are voting on by going to http://www.govtrack.us/.

And support your local farmers markets. We’re paying higher produce prices because a lot of what you put in your belly comes from Mexico. This puts a strain on demand for fuel, driving costs even higher.

And pray for our authorities. You may not like them but they are there and part of a bigger picture we cannot see. Romans 13:1 says, Everyone must submit himself to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God.

I’m of the view that when writing a blog, people should know who you are and what you’re about. So, I’ll briefly introduce myself. If personal introductions aren’t your style, move on to the next post.

Read the rest…

Welcome to the F3 Coalition. Faith, family and freedom have become more than a campaign slogan to us. In fact, they’ve become the very building blocks of a new political platform and movement that we hope will reshape conservative logic and lead our country in a new direction. While the campaign to elect Governor Mike Huckabee has come to an end (for a season at least), the fight for the hearts and minds of the American electorate continues. The F3 Coalition is a combination of leadership from Huck’s Army and national meetup groups as well as committed value-voting bloggers and readers.

The Huckabee for President campaign has inspired many great Americans all over the country to become involved in politics for the very first time, and the F3 Coalition will provide a continued medium to grow that involvement and hopefully attract the involvement of others.

We invite you to be a part of our organization as we grow and mature and hope you’ll share your feedback and ideas with us while we strive to become as effective as possible.

Be sure to visit our forums at http://forum.f3coalition.org and meetup with other concerned citizens eager to promote Faith, Family, and Freedom.
