Yesterday, I was surprised in seeing this bus outside of work, so I took some pictures and determined to do some research. This is what I found out.
Operation Free is a group of mostly veterans that is for clean energy and green jobs so that it will hurt our enemy of Iran. Their reasoning and sales pitch, though your heart goes out to them, is based upon false evidence and misdirected conscience. Let me explain.
Starting with the greatest issue at hand, our nations defense, most of us would agree that depriving our enemies of resources would be a good thing. Iran, that long standing future nuclear threat's biggest resource is oil. Common sense would tell you that if we could stop buying oil from them, they would have less money, and less power because of it. But, there is a problem.
Here is their presentation board. It was already turned off when I took the picture, but you will see a counter for the amount of additional money Iran has made since the American Power Act on their website. The American Power Act is a bill written to lessen our dependence or fossil fuels. You can read the bill in my resources.
The problem is the direction Operation Free wants to take us. The assumption behind the bill is that global warming isn't the proven hoax and political tool that it has been found to be. http://www.hyscience.com/archives/2009/11/video_al_gore_s.php
A move in this direction will lessen job numbers and not increase them. http://american.com/archive/2010/january/the-green-con-job
And ultimately socialism is at the end of the road. http://article.nationalreview.com/417683/global-warming-as-a-political-tool/jonah-goldberg
So what should we do? We have vast oil resources here at home and are not using them. With the situation with BP in the gulf now is a good time to research and find out the truth behind this issue. I am not going to try to persuade you to get behind drilling for oil, for it is not the only possibility, but that Operation Free's direction is obviously not the direction we should go. Do the research. http://www.anwr.org/ANWR-Basics/Top-ten-reasons-to-support-ANWR-development.php
What saddens me the most is that soldiers are being used as a political tool for the global warming religion, when their cause is actually a good one. To weaken our enemy for our own protection. The progressive moment is the movement using this religion for it's good, which will ultimately destroy the country that these soldier's fought and sacrificed for Do the research and find out what you believe on this issue, so that you can reason with anyone apart of Operation Free if you run into them.
More jobs? Lie. Less pollution? Lie. Greater security? True, but lacking jobs, and leading to socialism.

As for God hiding his face, I agree. If you haven't heard this, you need to.

Faith, as the Bible puts it in Hebrews, is evidence of things not seen. Evidence. If you cannot give evidence supporting your religion, ideas, dreams, or visions, then according to the God of reason, it is false.
Also, though 84 years old compared to my 26, you have, I assume, forgotten that in order to communicate, there are a few fundamentals you must abide by. After reading and rereading your comment, which was necessary due to it's charismatic appeal to your professed superiority, I must make the obvious comparison to Obama. It is impossible for a thinking person to even consider what you wrote as anything more than a person, though perhaps charismatic and articulate, completely lacking any reasonable purpose for writing besides to proclaim that you're ahead of your time and we should listen to you because of it. Where is the evidence to support this?
As a matter of fact, the only evidence you give that you were right was that " I’m way ahead of this time." You also repeatedly proclaim that people "see evil as good and good as evil" paraphrased, but never tell what you believe to be good.
It is possible that what you were trying to communicate just wasn't as clear as you would have desired, so please clarify. I will give you the benefit of the doubt until you prove, with sufficient evidence, what it is you are trying to say. If my writing seems harsh, it is because of what some of your writing implies. I want to know for sure your beliefs before I choose how to respond.
Mysteriously, after studying my Constitution, whose background is the higher law of nature, I imagined that I’d heard voices from the past speaking to me. I had a bigger than life calling; that is, the feeling that my cause was bigger than my own self-interest. Maybe it was my imagination, maybe not. At any rate, it came from within; it didn’t come from an external source. Now, at age 84, all of my dreams have come true.
Along the way, I passed milestones that connected me with world events, and as well, the movements of the heavens. It’s far out of the mainstream thinking, but not the thinking of the ancients, not the thinking of the cutting edge of quantum physics.
I posted “Mind, Space, Time here. I received no comments, because, I’m way ahead of this time. We’re coming to it, but first, as usual, we’ve got to learn our lessons the hard way. It is better to look within for the answers. Evil becomes good, and the external becomes evil, like being told it is good to kill people who don’t agree with you, in the name of religion, or for the love of mankind, or whatever—kill your enemy in the name of good. It’s mindless.
