dot what???
As the AP story says: "All he wanted were the facts. But Dick Cheney ended up generating confusion_ and lots of it." We must look at the small details in determining truth. In our VP's situation, the difference between "com" and "org" is like driving to a quiet local library verses driving into fire-storm barrage of bullets aimed at your head.
The situation, as you've probably heard and read, came about Tuesday night the the midst of the nasty VP debate. In a discussion (burning accusation) regarding Halliburton, Cheney and tax loopholes, Cheney in 30 seconds could not explain all the details, but invited the public to check their facts at a non-partisan webpage that does the fact checking for you.
Sounds like a logical idea. However, Mr. Cheney leads people to factcheck.com instead of factcheck.org.
The dot.com site is a billionaire funded anti-Bush site. The dot.org site provides facts.
Unfortunately for Bush supporters, the anti-Bush site was on fire with hits Tuesday night at the urging of his very own running mate. The small details do count.
When we are examining truth in all chapters of life, the small stuff counts.
My wife and I came across this man when we were on our honeymoon in 1997. He was standing at an "scenic overlook" in the Smoky Mountains near Gatlinburg, TN. We was giving away cookbooks that had religious material added to it. I believe it was a mix of Buddhism and New Age philosophy, and some other stuff. When he found out I was a Christian, he immediately attempted to make connections. "My brother is Baptist." And, "The Bible is a good book." I imagine he confused people all day with spiritual talk. But I asked him a few direct questions that separated my beliefs from his. Although he would like to promote all "people of higher faith" as heaven-bound individuals, he refused to accept the Acts 4:12 truth that no other name besides Jesus can make way for an everlasting life with God.
The guy sounded spiritual. But when you examined the details, he was a buffet of religion standing in a state park.
Whether you're surfing political news or searching for real hope and truth, make sure you look at the details--it'll make a difference.
