3 things I can't get to sleep unless I tell you:

Okay, I wanted to go to bed on time but there were just some things that I had to say. I haven't blogged in a while but after watching the movie Julia and Julie, I remembered how important this was to me.

So those three things: tomorrow's election in Massachusetts is one of the most important elections for freedom in a long time, I hate when people play politics instead doing what is right for America and Americans as a whole, and socialism ALWAYS fails and Haiti is a great example of why it does.

First, everyone who enjoys their God given freedoms and liberties has a stake in tomorrow's (today's if you are reading this on Tuesday) election in Massachusetts. State Senator Brown needs to defeat State Attorney General Coakley if freedom has a chance to survive in America. I don't care if Obama is president for the next 6 years, we need opposition if our freedom is to survive. We need the Senate to be able to filibuster bills that harm that freedom and harm the Constitution in the way that the Health Care Bill or Cap and Trade does. I could go into long book-like tangent about those two things but they are just bad. Bad for the economy, bad for your pocket books (taxes and higher costs), bad for freedom, and of course bad for the Constitution. If Brown is elected, then the Senate can stop those things from coming to pass. Having ALL the power in one party is too dangerous. Just look at what the Republicans did under Bush (they spent way too much, among other things- i.e. Patriot Act, Iraq War, and so on).

Speaking of Bush, it has been a farce if you believed that Obama was going to "Change" the way things are done in Washington. Obama is doing the EXACT SAME THING as Bush just more of it. He is spending more, he is more secretive (no CSPAN like he PROMISED but closed door meetings for the healthcare bill), he is increasing the debt and deficit more, getting us into more wars (more troops to Afgan.) It was a lie that he was/is for change. The only thing he changed was a mascot and the speed at which the government was doing things. I mention this because the thing I hate about some Republicans that bash Obama so much like Hannity and others, yet they did not really speak out when Bush was attacking our freedoms, our Constitution, and killing the debt/deficit. Great reads out there from Judge Andrew Napolitano on this subject, as well as any economics by Dr. Walter Williams and Dr. Thomas Sowell. Get over it- many Republicans are socialists as are Democrats (check how many in both parties are members of the CFR- a globalism think tank). Bush and Obama are the same- just a different mascot. They are socialists. They believe the government can solve our problems. Bush with "compassionate conservatism" (nothing related to conservatism), and Obama with Cap and Trade, Obamacare, and the plethora of government bailouts/stimuli. Its all the same. Who cares what party does it. It is wrong in both cases. Socialism fails. (The only thing I will concede to Bush is that he did do a better job at protecting innocent life than Obama-check out his response to Rick Warren on the issue of abortion and then see what Obama did day 3 of his administration and see if he was consistent with his word)

Finally, speaking of socialism failing, of which there are countless, countless examples in many countries besides our own that have proven this, the country of Haiti is a great example of how socialism has failed. First let me say, I believe that the people of Haiti need help and I don't blame them. My heart breaks for them, especially those little children, and I am going to talk about that, so follow me here. The United States has given BILLIONS of dollars to Haiti and they are still so poor. By the way, GM and Chrysler only wished they could profit billions. The problem is those billions came in the way of socialism. Our government giving to their government, either directly or through one of the many globalism organizations. The money never goes to the people it only goes to the corrupt government. It is a waste of our hard earned tax dollars. Cut taxes and I will give my money to Samarians Purse or Compassion International and I know that money makes it to the people. Socialism is a failure and the policy in Haiti proves it. We should and need to help those people but our government can't do it. It has to be done privately or corruption will continue like it always does in socialism. Just ask all the Senators and Unions who got bribes for their states/people to support the government's socialized health care plan.

Now, I can go to sleep.

Understand one thing though. I am not an advocate of disrespecting authority. I believe in upholding it. The problem in our country is that most people think that Bush and Obama or the Congress and Supreme Court are the authority in our country. They would be wrong (outside of God of course), the CONSTITUTION is the "supreme law of the land", not those jokers in Washington. Read the Constitution and you will see that I am right.

Global Warming

Take a position on Global Warming. Is Al Gore's position on Global Warming, that man's CO2 emissions the cause. Or is the view that the earth is natural warming, that CO2 levels naturally rise, the cause. You need three points with support. It doesn't matter which side you take as long as you support it. No first person. You also need to respond at least once to someone else's blog. You will have to do a little research for this, remember support! Also, make sure that you leave your name and class period for both posts. 

Debates part 2

Answer the following question about the debate:

Both McCain and Obama spoke about new government programs. McCain wants to use $300 billion to buy up mortgages from people whose homes might be foreclosed. Obama has proposed the federal government providing health insurance to people who can't afford insurance, these are people not already covered under Medicaid and Medicare. How could BOTH programs be considered unconstitutional?

Common Sense Solutions

The first debate of this very interesting political election occurred Friday night. The topics of discussion were on the economy and foreign policy. Both McCain and Obama have a plan to tackle the economic problems like the bank bailout and energy crisis, and both have opinions on dealing with terrorism.

This is the question that needs to be answered: who has the better plan to tackle the economic and foreign policy issues, and why? Secondly, what is being stated by either candidate that is not in accords with the Constitution (i.e. what in either of their plans violates the Constitution)

Remember NO first person, and use things that was said in the debate. You may have to go and rewatch parts of the debate. Give me good things to read!

Patriots!

What does it mean to be a patriot? Who is your favorite patriot and why?

George Washington was a great patriot. Not enough people study his life anymore. He risked all to save our country from the abuses of England. He SERVED his country everytime she called for him, which was for most of his life. During the eight years of war he was only home once. He also was a very godly man, praying often for his country and the soldiers that fought for her liberty. He was a very courageous man. If the British would have caught him they would have tried him as a traitor, a sure death. He fought against overwhelming odds against the greatest nation in the world at the time and WON! One of his greatest victories came at the lowest point of the Continental Army, getting his rag-tag army across the Delaware at Christmas in the freezing cold, and defeating the Hessians at Trenton. He brought the country together at the Constitutional Convention. He led the country during the first years when everything could have fallen apart. Then he gave one of the greatest speeches in the history of speeches in his farewell address. Many of the issues he spoke about, the country has not heeded and America has been the worse for it (party factions, entangling alliances, not relying on God). Study George Washington he WAS the Father of Our Country! He also loved his wife! What more could one say- a lot because this was a great man, a hero, the First Patriot!

Character or a Character?

What are you looking for in the next President? Many people want someone who will do something for them: fix health care, give them a job, provide a college education, write them a check, build more schools and roads for them, secure a future for them, etc....
But, is that really what Americans should be looking for in a President? The original Americans did not have a single one of those ideals in their minds. They looked for honesty, bravery, leadership, statemanship, patriotism, and the list could go on. When you look at the two candidates are they reflecting these characteristics? Maybe I am old-fashioned, but I want a President who tells me what he is not going to do for me rather than promise me the world. We have a 10 trillion dollar debt, and in this election less would actually be more. We need a President who is going to abide by the Constitution, and keep the Federal Government limited as the Founding Fathers intended. Yet, often when I hear the candidates speak, I hear and see more of how they are going to violate the Constitution. I want a President who is going to strengthen our economy by keeping taxes low, allowing oil companies to drill, and keeping Congress in check. We don't need them to work together, that is what happened with the Republican Congress and President. They worked too good together and spending increase by 10%, and our debt increased to a double-digit-trillion-dollar, mega-monster problem. I would take a second coming of Calvin Coolidge, the really great president of the 20th Century. He understood that the government should get out of the way and allow American to enjoy the fruit of its labor. By the way he also cut spending and taxes (in that order), but actually INCREASED the revenues of the government while paying down the national debt. So, what would the perfect candidate look like to you? Give me three characteristics and why.

Jesus the Baby Killer?!

I have not tried to persuade anyone on EXACTLY who to vote for with the previous blogs. However, I believe there is an area that makes deciding who to vote for very easy. Let me give you the quick background. The other night I was watching a cable news program, and I saw one of Barack Obama's pundits being interviewed. He said the amazing words that Obama's abortion views are in accordance with the Bible and that Jesus would be the most liberal abortion supporter today. Basically, he said that Jesus would give his whole-hearted support for babies being killed, including the babies killed on the operating table after botched abortions. What?! This guy is a professor at a major university, and he is teaching people that Jesus would be a pro-death (pro-choice) supporter. Has Barak Obama or Dr. Lamont ever, EVER read the BIBLE? Because I have, and nowhere have I ever read such blasphemy! (I hope you understand that I am yelling at the top of my lungs in my mind as I write this).

Read the Bible Mr. Obama and Mr. Lamont. Read it, because Jesus said suffer the little children to come unto me. Jesus was a Jew by the way not a Christian. Christians are Jews and Gentiles who follow Jesus. Jesus was a Jew and Jewish law (read the Old Testament) said that if a man killed the baby in a woman's womb that man would be KILLED!

If you vote for Obama because of eloquent speech and you call yourself a Christian, of whatever denomination, you are blind. Obama believes in abortion at any stage, including if a woman delivers a botched abortion (i.e. the baby lives) and she still wants that baby dead. The baby is alive on the operating table, and they still want to kill him/her. Obama believes in killing babies who have gone full term and are partially delievered by having an incinsion cut in the back of their skulls and then have their brain sucked out or crushed.

Wake up America. Though economics, drilling oil to help our economy, keeping the government from destroying our health care system, and protection from terrorists are important issues, it's more important to protect life. That IS what Jesus would want.

You might say "But I am not a Christian." Well, do you believe in the Declaration of Independence? Because it is a "right to life" document. It says that all men have the certain rights and among those rights are the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. You can't have the last two if you don't have the first right. We need a President who believes in preserving this above anything else. We need judges in federal courts on all levels who want to protect life, not discard it as simply organic material. American people need to stop thinking of themselves and think of those most helpless. Bottom line: it just makes common sense to protect life and that is what Jesus would want. Dr. Lamont is an idiot, and that's just common sense!
