The thoughts of a retired Med Tech & Methodist pastor about politics, the environment, and threats to our freedom. I am an unashamed liberal.

I'm posting a few links to Newsmax. I read it every day to determine what kind of stories (many of them actually are true) are being told on Newsmax.

An example of a typical headline might be something like, "The Coming Obama Created Stock Market Crash."

Here are some literal titles and their links. Realize these are the same folk who brought you "Iraq: the Non Movie."

"U.S. Intel: Iran Plans Nuclear Strike on U.S."LINK

From MSNBC: "Shiller: Housing slump may exceed Depression."

I have been calling this a recession for over a year; and I do not believe depression is too strong a term at present. It may be fine for the very upper middle and upper class; but for most of us it, at the very least is DEPRESSING. We wanted a great president; and we got a Herbert Hoover wannabe.

McCain has already admittted he knows little about economics; and his responses so far are worse than feeble.  We MUST have Democrats in the White House and congress.
