Environmentalism is a religion which leaves out common sense.
Paul WigginsJun 7, 2010, 8:42 pm
Hello Bob & Nedddie. Yes vague statements with no follow up does lead to as they would say drive by shots. My statement was a icebreaker to start discussion. Taking care of the environment certainly requires common sense. When common sense is not used unintended consequences are sure to follow. Palin's argument implies good intentions led to bad unintended results.

An example of environmentalists going wild. About the late 90's the hills in Laguna Beach California which I lived close to had gnatcatchers which were protected. The environmentalist would not allow control burns which reduce the risk of severe brush fires. Due to this restriction when the hills finally caught on fire it was a tremendous disaster. Not only did the environmentalist not protect the Gnatcatchers with there good intentions but that they were all wiped out. Many homes were lost in the fire and a secondary disaster hit during the next rains. Large mud slides from the burnt hills destroyed more homes and took lives. All good intentions but short on common sense.

I question why so many jumped on convicting Israel before getting all the facts. Also question why the media just reported the side against Israel. Shouldn't the media report the news instead of slanting it. Put all the information out there and let the people make up there own minds.

There is no "only when" in free speech. No matter how despicable one's speech might be you must protect there right to say it. It's a 2 edged sword. Freedom is not easy.

Just for the same reason I can't say I will kill you. My rights do not give me the rights to take away another's right such as life. Do you think that if the constitution was used more consistently without regard to favoritism it would work better?
Paul WigginsApr 27, 2010, 12:51 am
I'm with you on it would be way better.It's not the easy road but anything worthwhile never is.

Can anyone answer what will happen if you don't buy insurance and you refuse to pay the fine? How will it be enforced?
Paul WigginsApr 10, 2010, 1:31 am
It is not the intention to put anyone in jail. Why can't he say no one at anytime will be put in jail for refusing to have health insurance?

Barney Frank had over site. He insisted the banks continue lending risk loans. Sallie Mae is fine. Trust me. We do not need more regulation. We need untainted leadership.
Paul WigginsDec 22, 2009, 6:52 pm
Yes, but you may not have room for the description. When new or additional regulations are enacted after an industry or sector is deregulated, this is referred to as reregulation. The term can also refer to the process of reversing deregulation in regions where deregulation turns out to be impractical or unmanageable.

Leaving a better world for the kids by burdening them down with the cost of Cap and Trade? Taking there money before they have it and doling it to other countries? You'll leave a better world for other countries at our kids expense.

Al Gore will not debate the issue. The debate is over per his statement. Whats he afraid of? Polar Bears are thriving, temperature is not rising. Al, please explain.

How will they be extinct? They survived the Midevil warming period were there was no ice. Greenland was actually green. The earth will be greener due to more co2. More food.

John, I looked at the Economist. The one issue I see is it's "The main reason for anonymity, however, is a belief that what is written is more important than who writes it." I feel who writes it is important. Does it subscribe to fare and balanced thought? It looks compelling. Hope it doesn't disappoint.

Have you guys been watching the History Channel special on our troops fighting and dying against the Japanese who attacked us? Respecting there sacrifice to keep our country free gives me the answer.
Paul WigginsNov 20, 2009, 11:05 pm
Paul, I'm sad to hear that.
Paul WigginsNov 21, 2009, 1:52 am
John, did I say I hated the Japanese people of today? The President needs to remember he represents all the American people and many feel our country needs to bow or apologize to no one. Bowing is a Japanese tradition of greeting. Our culture takes bowing as more of a submissive stance. I think less apologizing for America and more concern about what the people think than others would be needed.

Palin is not one of the swells. She's more comfortable with the folks. The same reason the average American is held with disdain. You saw it at the Town Hall meetings were many of our Congressman showed there disdain on being questioned by the uncouth.
Paul WigginsNov 11, 2009, 9:13 pm
Sue that would be very nice but as you know there are those who will always want us all dead.
Paul WigginsNov 11, 2009, 9:20 pm
I want to thank all our Veterans on there day who we ultimately owe the peace we enjoy at home today.
Paul WigginsNov 11, 2009, 11:51 pm
I would say need if necessary rather than want them dead. Our freedoms come with great sacrifice and your wish is well said.

AARP plans to be big in supplemental insurance. Would this be a conflict?
Paul WigginsNov 8, 2009, 9:55 pm
Dick Morris site. * The AARP got a financial windfall in return for its support of the healthcare bill. Over the past decade, the AARP has morphed from an advocacy group to an insurance company (through its subsidiary company). It is one of the main suppliers of Medi-gap insurance, a high-cost, privately purchased coverage that picks up where Medicare leaves off. But President Bush-43 passed the Medicare Advantage program, which offered a subsidized, lower-cost alternative to Medi-gap. Under Medicare Advantage, the elderly get all the extra coverage they need plus coordinated, well-managed care, usually by the same physician. So more than 10 million seniors went with Medicare Advantage, cutting into AARP Medi-gap revenues.
Presto! Obama solved their problem. He eliminates subsidies for Medicare Advantage. The elderly will have to pay more for coverage under Medigap, but the AARP -- which supposedly represents them -- will make more money. (If this galls you, join the American Senior...

How can the GOP get any weaker? If you notice at the Tea Parties it was a conservative theme, not a Republican theme. Our country is based on a 2 party disenting system. I'm disappointed in Newt following the losing downward spiral McCain has led us on.

Mr. Gorbachev, open this gate. Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall! A speech that changed the world.

Niccola, put down the Red Pin.
Paul WigginsOct 21, 2009, 12:22 am
How did your Pin get Red. Your really not here for discussion. Your response shows your just in it for the childish back and "fourth".

The tip of the ball hit the ground. The meat of the ball higher up hit the foot which changed it's direction.(physics) With that in mind re-look at the video.
Paul WigginsOct 14, 2009, 9:43 pm
Benson, your right. I have no interest in either team. It was interesting to take a analytical view of the call. If it takes repeated reviews of the tape with no consensus on the outcome you have to go with the ref's call on the field.
Paul WigginsOct 6, 2009, 11:56 pm
Interesting right after Axelrod met with Murdock Shep Smith comes out with Obama's talking points. Will we be seeing further left movement on Fox?

Don't forget the hundred of thousands of Pop Warner, High School and College players.Thankfully I was a kicker in High School.

I need a little help.
Deceptive how? How does she use God to cover what deception? She is a hypocrite on what which somehow equals anti christ? Quitter, let's discuss. Totally dependant on staff? Must be in competition with Obama. Everything the GOP does is deceptive such as? She's a liar, such as.
The only factual statement I see is that you don't like her which I support your right to say so.
I would think Palin being not well informed pales to our Senate and Congress signing bills before they read them. Then they try to sell it at town hall meetings when the people know the bill better than they do. I question why Palin is being singled out with such a broad swath of false representation by our leaders?
I think Palin upstaged the party.
Paul WigginsSep 30, 2009, 9:10 pm
Kimmi, hundreds of people read this blog that do not post. I do appreciate you helping the conservative cause.
I heard Dennis Miller say tonight that the reason he loves Palin is that she drives the right people nuts.
