Election 2012 and Post -Election

So I just realized that I have not posted on this blog since June.  I have been a bit preoccupied with work, school, and Iran.  

This photo combo shows President Obama in Chapel Hill, N.C. on April 24, and Republican presidential candidate, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney on April 18, in Charlotte, N.C.

I have decided that I am going to blog about this lovely thing called the Election of 2012.  Contenders Romney vs. Obama.  This election is extremely crucial because we will get an idea of how Americans feel about dear President Obama.  Also we will see how Romney is going to do in the election as well.  I think that both of the candidates have a lot of schmoozing to do to the American public.  They have to do a lot of schmoozing because the American people are upset and they are sick of the way things are going with the country (I talk as if I am an outsider).  I know that I am one unhappy American to some degree and I will let you know why in a minute.  Romney has to be able to persuade women, minorities, and to some degree religious minorities to vote for him.  Obama really just needs to let the people know that he is going to fulfill his promises if he is elected.  

A part of me is pessimistic and believes that Obama will win, maybe not easily.  So you now see my bias and that is okay.  All I got to say that if Obama wins I hope that he will cooperate a little more with the opposing party and they do the same.  Romney, now if he gets elected I believe that he will have the ability to work with the Democrats.  I say this because people forget that he is a bit more liberal the most Republicans.  For instance, the healthcare bill that got passed for the nation actually used ideas from the one that he help make in Massachusetts.  He worked with the Democrats in his state and I believe that he could do it if he were to win.

Okay so now onto the other part of this post, Post-election.

So there are key issues that Obama or Romney are going to have to deal with. 

Lovely Iran

  This is important because Iran is getting pretty brave with this whole mining the strait and what not.  If they do mine the strait (which is international waters) that is considered an act of war, no matter what reason they do it for.  That means that the UN is going to have to do something about it or a coalition of countries are going to need to do something about it. 

  

Lovely Israel 

Now Israel, I think that they are going to attack Iran, but I still hope negotiations will work.  However, the thought of Iran with nukes or nuclear power is still risky.

The Economy

Yes that issue does still exist and it will for awhile.  The economy needs to pick up.  I am down for bringing jobs back to America, but remember things will be a bit more pricier because the objects are made in America.  So you better buy them or the jobs will go back to another country where there is cheap labor.

Issue of Polarization between the Conservatives an the Liberals

This is a big one because are wonderful Congress and the President need to work together.  Both sides need to understand that you are not going to get all that you want and the opposition is not going to let you get everything you want.  Think about life, you will never get everything you want, that is reality.  However, it is not just their fault for the lack of compromise.  It is the American public because they are divided so Congress is divided.  The American public needs to also learn that they are not going to get everything they want, a reality that needs to be recognized.  Politicians in Congress are so worried about getting re-elected that they do not want to compromise on the big issues and this is hurting America. Stop making politics a career, if you do not get re-elected then at least you will remember that you did your job and your constituents will see that the decision was a good or bad one in the future.

Compromise and a better economy is going to be key to sustaining this country.  Our dear Founding Fathers knew that factions were going to be a problem and it is a very big problem now.

I had a little fun with pics, there are a lot of battles. 

 

Nanny State: People Predicted this Would Happen

http://www.ijreview.com/2012/06/7550-18-crazy-examples-america-is-turning-into-a-nanny-state/

America the Nanny State Welcomes You.  We get to tell you what to eat, how to dress, how to spend your money, and get to control your personal life.  That is how America is turning out to be and I am not surprised at all.  Political Scientists have predicted that this would happen.  This all began with The Great Depression when states and the American people really needed the help of the federal government.  However, the states are getting a bit out of control with the the whole lets control what every American does in their lives.  The government makes its seem like they do not have bigger problems then telling someone to not feed the homeless and have a special team come into people's homes to get expired milk.  

Why does the government not focus on improving the school systems rather than worrying about what a kid brings to school for lunch, in which that is the parents right to pack whatever the heck they want into their child's lunch. You are so worried about Americans having Bible Studies in their own homes that you forget to tell teachers and leaders to stress moral values to bring down the crime rates.  

Minnesota is worried about muddy vehicles when they should continue to stress the extreme importance of not driving while intoxicated and drive the correct way.  

Finally, the government is so worried about what the heck we say on the internet because it protects us.  I understand that you want to keep us safe, but we have the right to say what we want and when we want as long as it does not incite violence or is hate speech.  

Word to the government, which you are likely viewing this.  Read up on the Constitution and look at the ways that you are violating it.  The 14 Amendment made the Bill of Rights applicable in any state and you clearly violate them on a daily basis. Read the Founding Fathers books, letters and articles to understand how they wanted America to be.  Many may think they are already in ashes and this is modern America, however they valued our liberty and happiness more than anything.  They fought a revolution so that we can say what we want and go as high as we want to in this country and my government is not going to prevent me from going as high as I want to g.  I think that government is necessary and I am thankful that the government has helped me to get through my life and what not, but there is such a thing as too much government interference.

I thank the Founding Fathers for giving me the freedom to say what I want and do what I want as long as I do not hurt others.  I feel that government is necessary.  On the other hand, I am American and I will fight to protect my liberty and be able to keep my individuality.  

THE FIVE THINGS AMERICA IS BUILT ON

1. INDIVIDUALISM
2. CIVIC DUTY: LOOK AT STATISTICS WE DONATE MORE MONEY AS INDIVIDUALS
3. POPULAR SOVEREIGNTY
4. LIBERTY 
5. EQUALITY OF OPPORTUNITY:  

America!!!!

Americans do not understand why I Founding Fathers fought for liberty in this country. They do not understand what they did to fight centralized government (the monarchy). They do not understand that we have always wanted to keep our liberty. Do they understand that when you demand on the government to give you economic equality that you are asking the government to take away your rights?

Do Americans understand that some people start business because they believe that it will give them a better life to be happy? Do Americans understand that if it were not for Capitalism that we would have fallen a long time ago? Do Americans understand that the countries that are part of the European Union is failing economically because of Socialism?

I do not think that Americans know what the hell they are protesting. This country has not survived because of the need to put everyone on food stamps. This country has lasted long because of the ability to develop economically and make your own way. America gives everybody an equal starting point. It gives you the choice to be a success or fail. You fail because of you actions not because of what others have. In this country we are taught to work hard for what we want. We are not taught to sit on our butts and expect government to give us things.

WE ARE NOT THE EUROPEAN UNION, WE ARE AMERICANS!!! WE HAVE AN EQUAL STARTING GROUND IN SOCIETY , SO THAT WE CAN HAVE LIBERTY, PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS, AND LIFE!!!

SOME AMERICANS WHINE AND COMPLAIN ABOUT WALL STREET. LET TELL YOU SOMETHING WALL STREET GIVES THE DAMN JOBS THAT YOU HAVE!!! SO DONT THINK THEY ARE BEING GREEDY. THEY WORK FOR THEIR MONEY LIKE YOU WORK FOR YOURS. TRY LIVING IN THEIR SHOES IT IS NOT A WALK IN THE PARK!!!

I Feel Like...

I feel like I am criticize on a daily basis
I feel like the only gift that God gave me is my intelligence
I feel like I can never give an employer what she or he wants
I sometimes feel like people think that I am way to compromising
I sometimes feel like I am the only one trying to find my way back to some well-established morals and virtues
I sometimes feel like I am always under attack, that there is no one in this world that can agree with me
I feel like I would make a good judge or even a Supreme Court judge because when I watch cases I try to look at it from an unbiased standpoint
Unfortunately that would qualify me for jury duty, hopefully that no one that is in charge of jury duty reads this
I feel like our dear government can come to a compromise, but they are too worried about their political careers
I feel like Mike Hukabee (i think he said it) that career politicians are bad, too busy worrying about their career
I feel like America has driven away from the core values of the Constitution and need to come back to it fast before the nation is ruined
I feel like some Americans do not understand that America is unique and that we should not try to be like any other nation, but have our own identity

This was an exercise to help me get to sleep. I do not expect pity remarks especially from the top I feel likes. These are some of things that are on my mind. Also another thing that is on my mind and growing bigger in my mind is that stupid election, just kidding the election isn't stupid haha

America's Disappearing Constitution

Have you ever looked back into American history and ask yourself what is the difference between then and now? Well I have and I think that America is very different from what it used to be and what it is now. In the book A Conflict of Visions written by Thomas Sowell, he talks about the difference between the Constrained and Unconstrained visions. He begins with a definition of each of the visions. The Unconstrained Vision focuses on the results of decisions that have been made and the Constrained Vision focuses on the processes rather then the results.

During the French Revolution they were focused on the results of the revolution. They wanted to have everyone at the same and equal status of each other. In the end, there was much blood spilled because they were too focused on the results. The ends justify the means, that is what it sounds like to me. On the other hand, the American Revolution focused on the processes rather then the results. They made sure that everyone got equal rights, but how they used their rights depends on themselves. However, now we Americans are focusing too much on the results not the processes. We are beginning to desire to have everyone end the same, but that is not how the American Dream works or American Exceptionalism. What the American Dream is getting offered the same rights and opportunities and it is up to the individual to decide how they want to use it and if they use it. And if they do not have the money or are limited in opportunities to find alternatives. It is our responsibility to get to where we want to be not the governments. We should not blame other people that use the opportunities and it end up rich or living good.

Another way that America has changed since the beginning is that we depend on the government too much and play the blaming game. We blame the government, the institutions, and our families for the way that we are and how we act. This is another part of the unconstrained view, we focus too much on how we want to end up rather then on the process. Also we are not taking responsibility for our actions. The Unconstrained View does not allow the individual to take responsibility for their actions instead they blame it on the environment or the people surrounding the situation.

However, back in the day basically any man worked for himself and in the end it helped the society. Man is far from achieving perfection because of the limitations and that is another part of the Constrained View. Everyone had responsibilities to take care of their families, make sure they spent their money correctly, make sure that they went to work on time, make sure to go to college, make sure to get your job in the honest way. What happened to that? Well what happened is that people are driving away from the Constitution and wanting to become a Welfare State. They know if that happens then they do not need to take responsibility for their actions, they can just blame institutions and the government. People are going away from the Constitution because it requires too much responsibility.

The government and the people of America need to take responsibility for their lack of following the Constitution. Requiring the state to care for them when we are suppose to work for what we want. The government needs to be reeled in and the people need to begin to work for what they want. Both sides need to take responsibility for their actions and get it together.

The Constitution is relevant today, whether you like to believe it or not. IT is completely relevant. It made a tad vague for reason so that when the times changed it could apply to the present situations. The people need to realize that PROGRESS IS NOT ALWAYS GOOD, need to realize that the TRADITIONAL IS NOT ALWAYS BAD.


Wake up America!! The more you ask from the government, the more of your RIGHTS they shall take!! If we do not fight to go back to the Constitution then sometime the government and the people will fight each other in a civil war again. People are either going to be fighting to get rid of the Constitution in favor of a Welfare State like the European Union or fight for the PRESERVATION OF THE THE CONSTITUTION!!


I vote in favor of the Constitution
