Want to be the nation’s hero?
Figure out a way that we can solve the high gasoline prices that have 9 in 10 Americans saying have caused them financial hardship.
E85 ethanol might be one solution.
Hydrogen could be another once fueling stations are built.
Whatever we do, we need to do it quickly.
The airlines are already near financial ruin. Our automobile manufacturers are suffering. Our credit is crunched — and many cannot afford to fill up their cars without borrowing from their credit card.
Our economy is heading toward a 70s-style malaise with high energy prices and stagnant incomes.
What do you think will end up being the solution to our nation’s energy problems?
Could the answer be more domestic drilling, bio fuels such as E85 ethanol and bio diesel, hydrogen, hybrids and plug-ins, or some combination of the above?
Which will be the longest term solution to America’s energy crisis?
If you were elected president, what would you do once you were settled into office?

Could Obama Be Right In Suggesting Focus On Universal Christian Values?

Kevin Tracy writes that conservatives should listen to Barack Obama’s suggestion that instead of trying to change hearts and minds via evangelical church rules, maybe Christians should focus on common goals that would make America a better place.
… Barack Obama is essentially saying that he recognizes that this nation was built with a Christian foundation, which is significant progress for liberals we on the right should be applauding. Barack Obama further says that we should thus fight for universal Christian values. But since there is no universal Christian values book, he’s saying we should fight for the ones everybody agrees on, including the Christian Left… that doesn’t leave much besides that “Love Thy Neighbor” stuff.
In other words, if this is a Christian country, as Obama seems to be admitting to, we shouldn’t be isolating any Christians who may not agree with the likes of James Dobson by only writing Christian legislation from a very VERY narrow non-Catholic conservative perspective.
I agree 100% with that.
Having watched our society split into two polar opposite camps that seemingly will never be able to unify as one, I have to also say that I agree with Kevin Tracy that the time has come to figure out what we have in common so that we can figure out common sense solutions to our nation’s problems — instead of always fighting with each other and with the other side. Much of Congress’ inability to do anything — both the GOP and the Democrats have failed to do anything during the 2000s — stems from our leaders’ inability to look at the greater picture. Much of this myopia comes from the constant battles and hate that has been a feature of Washington politics for far too long.
Let’s focus on common goals so that we can get the things that we agree upon resolved. Once we figure out how to get on the same page, maybe Washington will be able to get things done.

Hyper Doppler Radar on MegaStorm Center 17 has you covered — unlike the other guys at that other station who want you to die in a tornado!
If you’re not watching our channel, you could be struck by 10,000 volts of lightning at any second! We don’t want that to happen, unlike that other television station. Those evil doers!
If you’re not watching Hyper Doppler on MegaStorm Center 17, you’re letting the bad guys win.
I love all of these Doppler radar commercials for various television stations use the fear factor to make sure people are watching their television channels during severe weather.

Video: Super duper Doppler radar will keep you alive — unlike that other channel!
Video: If you don’t care about dying, watch that other Fort Wayne station’s weather
Video: Any second now you could be struck dead by severe weather in Fort Wayne
Video: The only station that has a Doppler radar — except for those other stations that have Doppler radar, except ours is better
Video: Watching the wrong Doppler radar could mean instant death!
