Non partisan prayer noted

Ted Cruz prays with Rev. Rob Schenck (from Faith and Action) and Rev. Frazier White (a Democrat and Obama supporter)

David Brody, CBN News Chief Political Correspondent reports an entertaining piece of non partisanship in Washington. A surprise to many as others talk about “civil war levels of political debate.”

Brody writes on the photo with this story: “No, [Ted Cruz] is not praying that Barack Obama will overturn Obamacare and no, he’s not praying that he will occupy the presidency one day. Instead, he’s alongside Rev. Rob Schenck (from Faith and Action) and Rev. Frazier White (a Democrat and Obama supporter) praying for Saeed Abedini, who has been in an Iranian prison for one year. He is being persecuted for his faith to Jesus Christ.”

Who says Ted Cruz isn’t bipartisan?

Defending property rights

By David Arnett, Publisher

Analysis: At times government and media listen. Well some of it, at times, maybe. In this case, city staff and the City Council offered an ordinance to restrict private property rights in the core of downtown Tulsa. It is a bad plan from a good thought – to preserve older buildings other people own because they are visually old/historic, some would then deny owner’s freedom.

The concept offered by the Tulsa Planning Department with some council support, restricts a property owner from turning downtown land into a surface parking lot. Board of Adjustment approval would henceforth be required. Surface parking lots in the area would be allowed only as an accessory use of the property and would have to be on the same property as the principal use. Under the proposal, downtown owners would have to show a building is unsafe or that there is a construction permit and zoning approval to replace the demolished structure with a new building.

What science of global warming?

By David Arnett, Tulsa Today

Al Gore (2007) Nobel Peace Prize Lecture

Analysis: The Supreme Court has determined that any accepted belief strong enough to change behavior is a religion. If that be true the global warming (blame civilization) crowd certainly go to church. Further, their leaders are sanctified and enriched even when defeated by popular vote. See Al Gore for more.

The environmental movement like the communist movement allows no criticism. They demonize all who dare question as they have done to U.S. Senator Jim Inhofe for his book, The Greatest Hoax: How the Global Warming Conspiracy Threatens Your Future. They say Inhofe is no scientist even though he quotes scientists.

Frack that zombie!

By David Arnett, Publisher

Editorial: It is far better than that other F-word. Frack, from the root fracture and, in the oil and gas industry “fracking,” is used here and often by this writer to convey a breaking apart to find value. It has become one of my favorite words especially when reading reports by Leftists.

An odd thing about being a Conservative Writer is the number of Leftists one has to deal with daily. Of course writers of every perspective should read those who disagree and on the “happy communist” web site, Huffington Post, recently comes another report of an obvious attack on America’s prosperity and energy independence.

Assad begins media campaign as Kerry dances

By David Arnett, Publisher

Bashar Assad of Syria

Analysis: Syria’s President Bashar Assad spoke with Charlie Rose over the weekend – his first television interview since President Obama asked Congress to approve a military strike against Syria. The interview was promoted on CBS This Morning.

In fast moving if not dueling press manipulations, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry’s apparently “off-hand” remark was accepted as serious (which it did seem to be at the time) by Russia’s foreign minister. Did Kerry bluff and get called or did he joke about death and destruction with no regard – whatever is best for the administration must be what he meant.
