President Obama V. Putin over International Involvement

http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/post-politics/wp/2015/09/28/at-u-n-monday-obama-and-putin-grapple-over-the-future-international-order/

Summary of Article

This article is about Obama and Putin both critizing one another for involvement in conflicts that hace occurred like Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, and the Ukraine.  Obama is criticizing Putin for supporting the Syrian president and for supporting rebels in the Ukraine.  In addition, he also has criticized him for Annexing Crimea to be part of Russia.  On the other hand, Putin is critizing Obama for his involvement in the Middle East issues like supporting the rebels against President Assad and indirectly issues with Iran, Afghanistan, and Iraq.  

Opinion

President Obama and Putin are wrong for getting involved in Syria.  They should have let the rebels and the Syrian government duke it out themselves.  That is there problem and if they want to fight let them because it is an internal issue.  Yes there is a problem of refugees, but I guarantee that the war would have been finished if Russia did not supply the Syrian government and the US did not supply the rebels.  In addition, if refugees are causing an issue for those countries then they should be aided with monetary and supplies to help those refugees.  That should be the only involvement in the Syrian issue.  

All in all, I think it is time for countries to stop getting involved with the internal conflicts of other countries.  Russia should have stayed out of the conflict of Ukraine and Syria.  US should have stayed out of the conflict of Syria as well.  On the other hand, we know that the only reasons why countries get involved is because they have interests with those countries.  Putin supports Assad because they share intelligence with one another and they have economical agreements. Russia of course would not want rebels to win because then he will lose an alliance.  US supports the rebels because this will possibly build another alliance either through economical and/or intelligence support.  

It is impossible for anyone to completely stay out of the problems of other countries, but we should try harder.  In addition, if they are going to get involved then it should not be with weapon supplying.  That just creates more issues like death, war, tyranny, and poverty.

Update on Obama’s Immigration Executive Order

http://www.nytimes.com/2015/05/27/us/fifth-circuit-court-of-appeals-rules-on-obama-immigration-plan.html?_r=0


Hello, it has been awhile, but school is finally over so I will be able to devote more time to blogging.  Today I am blogging about a recent article that came out in regards to the standing injunction of executing Obama’s executive order.  The Court of Appeals has ruled to support the states with preventing the executive order for immigration from being enforced.  The states are arguing that there will be an economic burden for giving illegals proper paperwork to stay in the country for the time being and to give them licenses.  Economic burden does have legal grounds for states.  Furthermore, the President is circumventing standing laws, which make it illegal to come into the United States.
We all have our opinions and I will express mine whether people like it or not.  First, I do not think that illegals should be given a free pass to stay in this country.  They are hurting those that have come into this country the right way and our getting their citizenship.  They have worked long and hard to be able to go to a citizenship ceremony and proudly say they are Americans.  The problem is that illegals think well if we just come then we can use our children or other means to become residents or citizens.  Which is wrong to do so.
Secondly, I have studied Mexico and South American countries, I have seen and learned that life is not great in those countries. The question is how can we change those countries?  It all begins with the people from within changing their country. Yes, it is not going to be an easy task, but change can happen.  The problem is that people are too scared of their government to fight against them so then they just pop into the next country expecting to deserve the same rights as the people who already live there. They take the easier route rather than fighting hard to change the course of history by taking out the tyrants.  There are countries who would gladly support a revolution against existing governments that they do not like.  Granted they will expect compensation for the weapons and some say when it comes to trading decisions.
 For example, the United States of America would not exist if they did not have the assistance of France.  The revolutionaries were losing and then France came to their aid with weapons and supplies.  Their help change the course of the revolution.  The colonists fought against Britain because they did not want to have a standing army to knock down the colonists if they were not obeying.  They could not bear arms and they could not freely express themselves.  Over 200 years we still have those rights and we would not have gotten those rights if they had not fought against the British.

All in all, I understand why people come to this country illegally because they want a better life and to send money to love ones in their home countries.  However, at the same time running away is not solving the problem.  One day their children may want to live in Mexico or wherever they came from, but the situation is not going to change.  Stop running away and begin changing the country.  It does not half to be a full out change it can start in increments.  Beginning with towns, to cities, to counties, to states, and finally the whole country.  It takes time to make a country better for the people, but it is worth it in the end.  Stick to the cause and continue fighting until it changes.

Angola Blood Diamonds

http://www.bbc.com/news/world-africa-32067602

Hello, it has been awhile since my last post.  So my blog post for today is about Blood Diamonds.  Information that I have read about comes from the above link from BBC News and opinions are from myself.  It has been reported that the United States is Angola's second trader and the first is China.  The United States obviously gets some oil and definitely diamonds.  Therefore, the United States government ignores the problem that is occurring in that country as well as international organizations.  There are over 90% of the people living in the slums in Angola.

While the majority of the country is poor the rich are enjoying their lives.  There is no middle class in Angola, only poor and rich. These people cannot even afford watermelons ($100) or chicken ($200) because it is too expensive.  The only thing that is reasonably priced is beer which is under a dollar.  The government figures that alcohol and offering free entertainment will keep them from revolting.  So far it is working, they will offer free things (exception of food) before a schedule protest and then it suddenly turns pro-government.  

These people should raise in mass to fight against there government. Somehow they should either gather weapons or seek help from the international community.  However, the government is killing and imprisoning the people who protest, but the only way things are going to change is if lives are sacrificed for the greater good.

Lastly, our dear government should think about doing something either by being vocal or cutting down trade.  If President Obama is all about helping other people and being vocal about injustice then he needs to be vocal against Angola.  On the other hand, trade is more important to the United States then being vocal against that type of government.  Something needs to be done.  

Airstrikes in Iraq

        Obama has authorized airstrikes against Islamic Militants to protect Americans and help the Kurds.  I am not surprised that the extreme Sunnis were back at it again fighting with Shiites and the Kurds.  The militant Sunnis have a problem with being put out of power even though they were the minority religious group and they have always had a problem with Christians and the Kurds.  Although Saddam Hussein did protect the Christians from harm (most of them), but he still had a lot of fun targeting Shiites and the Kurds.

    I understand that a majority of Americans wanted us to withdraw out of Iraq and it happened in 2011. However, there was a belief that Iraq could become the new Vietnam.  American troops left Vietnam in 1973 because it was not favorable for the people.  After we leave North Vietnam attacks South Vietnam,  South Vietnam is forced to surrender, uniting the country again except under Communism.

     Iraq is not a country divided like Vietnam.  No it is much worse where extremists will stop at nothing to push their beliefs onto others until they have control.  This would not have happened if Americans had stayed a little longer and had diplomats working with the different factions and groups in Iraq to have a working relationship.  However, we were not given enough time because Obama was facing re-election and he wanted to look good for the people so he had the troops leave.  I understand that the Iraqis wanted us to leave but the original agreement was actually for 2014 for full withdrawal, but he wanted to look good for the election.

     All in all, we should not have left so abruptly.  Furthermore, if Americans had been paying attention you would have seen that the Sunni Extremists were building in power. They had took over the government of some cities and forced the people in those cities to follow extremists laws when it comes to morality and strict Islamic code.  The extremists slowly started gaining, however after full troop withdrawal in 2011 they were able to gain massive power and weapons for exactly what they are doing right now.  

     Americans and Europe blamed former President Jalal Talabani and current Prime Minister Nour al-Maliki for the reason the extremists are attacking the people because they say he did not work hard enough to establish peace with the Sunnis. However, the extremists do not speak for a majority of the Sunnis.  Yes he is to blame for some of the problem, but so is the United States and the United Nations.

   

In conclusion, everyone is to blame President Obama, former President Talabani, Prime Minister Nour al-Maliki, and United Nations because they did not do more to eliminate the extremists.  The extremists do not speak for the majority of the Sunnis. The extremists want power to force people to submit to their belief system.  Now the solution is to eliminate the leaders of ISIS because there is no way that peace is going to work at this point.  Point in case: extremists from any group that are attacking innocent people should be killed and shown no mercy.

CNN and FOX Bias

This is going to be a short post to tell you that you should read articles by news agencies very carefully because one little sentence will indicate bias.  For instance, in the article "World Events Derail Obama's Agenda" by Cassie Spodak from CNN she states, "...otherwise push his proposals to build middle class opportunity-all rejected so far by Obama."  In which case, that is not true because the middle class is essential for this economy.  Who else besides the rich are going to support Republicans. Many of their supporters are also middle class too.  Democrats and Republicans needs the middle class because who else is going to be able to afford to buy things besides the rich?  Definitely, not the poor.   Democrats and Republicans need to work together.  That is where are bias is stated in the post the rest of the article is actually on what is causing Obama's Agenda to go out of control.

Always be weary of the media especially since the media is not free to oppose Obama in which I will go over that in more detail on another post.

Poor Little House of Representative Moran Complaining About his Paycheck

http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2014/04/04/cry-me-river-retiring-moran-says-congress-is-underpaid/



       Hello, I know that there is a lot of important things happening like issues with the Russians, Iran, and some other things.  I have not been blogging about those issues because it is the same thing over and over again.  Russians and the U.S. have always been on a tightrope, they are always going to find something to argue about like Syria, Iran, and now Siberia.  The point is that they should both not be meddling in other peoples business in which both countries have still yet to learn.

      Anyways, this conversation is going to be about a dear little representative who has panties in a bunch over the salary he makes in Congress.  Dear little Jim Moran a Democratic Representative from Virginia is complaining about his salary.  Well I think 174,000 dollars is enough for you to live off of because normally they have other practices they all had other occupations before this.  

      In addition, being a Congressman was not suppose to be a career it was suppose to be a temporary thing.  However, today politicians staff in office for long periods of time and they dictate what goes on every year.  Congressmen and women should have term limits to prevent the government from gaining so much power.  Term limits need to be established so that people still have a voice about other real problems.  Instead of debating abortion and death penalty you should be focused on bringing jobs back to Americans.  

     I guarantee that if we had term limits half of the crap that has been passed would not have been passed. Like the healthcare law because the majority of the people opposed then they would have listened and vetoed.  Furthermore, Obama would be impeached by now because of the countless violations he has committed against the constitution in regards to what he can do within his presidential powers.

    Lastly, if there were term limits then we would not have the same debates over the same issues that are not necessary.  Instead we would have debates on how to solve the real problems that are occuring at the moment that are affecting everybody.    

Executive Orders: President Obama, Jimmy Carter, and Ronald Reagan

Hello, to whomever views this blog.  It has been awhile, but today I am writing about Executive Orders.  Executive Orders are used to implement a change immediately to a law or to stop implementing a law.  Presidents have become more adept to use executive orders especially when the Congress is not approving of the goals they want to accomplish.  Executive Orders can be good and bad for Americans. Orders can be good if they are used to acutally help the people and they can be bad if they are used to eliminate the rights of the people or intentionally surpass the governments checks and balances.

Lately, President Obama has come under scrutiny for the issuing of executive orders because they are being used to surpass the checks and balances of the government and to show Congress that he can o what he wants when he wants too.  This is bad because the President is slowly able to take power from the other branches of government who can serve as a check on the executive branch. Furthermore, this could alienate the people because constitutional rights could become limited.

The point I am trying to make is be watchful of President Obama as he uses to further his political goals in which he sometimes hides as a way of helping the people.  These executive orders make him less answerable to the people, the state governments, other branches of the national government, and the media.  

Do not be surprised if he becomes more tyrannical during the last years of his term.  

I Don't Think Bill Pascrell Has Got His Facts Straight

Here is the link:  http://foxnewsinsider.com/2013/10/04/cut-crap-hannity-takes-democrat-bill-pascrell-over-obamacare-perks-congress     

 Bill Pascrell Democrat of New Jersey claims that all Americans signed up for Obamacare and that a majority of Americans support Obamacare.  Where the hell did he get his facts?  We were forced to sign up because they completely disregarded the Americans point of view.  Americans did not agree with this bill and that is why Democrats lost their seats in the House and Senate.  They chose to lose their seats by not listening to the American people.  
     They get a 72%  subsidy which is unfair to the American people because it is our tax dollars being used for them.  I am happy that it was reported that the some Democrats and Republicans opted out of the subsidy.
     Furthermore, Bill Pascrell thinks that Republicans are waving the white flag for the poor and the unions.  However, that is not the case they just listen to what the people want.  In some ways he is right because the government would not have gotten this big if it was not for Republicans giving up.  Now the people are suffering, this government shutdown is proof of it.  The 1995 shutdown was proof of the Democrats having control of Congress for more than 40 years.  They spent too much money and now they are suffering. 
     In conclusion, Bill Pascrell was not telling the truth, he has no right to speak for the American people.  The American people did not want this because they do not believe that the feds can handle the workload.  They cannot, they are slow.  States should have been given the power and the money to initialize healthcare for those that cannot be covered and they are quicker at providing service and it will be cheaper.  Arizona is a perfect example of AHCCCS working.  The Native American Health Care service is a perfect indicator of how the feds are going to run the program and that is slow. I have a friend that says she has to wait a long time to get service.  

The Most Tyrannical Government Elected

I really hope Americans are beginning to wake up!!!!  I feel like yelling at the American population to wake up and realize that this government does not have our best interests at heart.  

First they passed that stupid Healthcare act in which over 50 percent of the population opposed.  Then Obama goes on a rampage with executive orders.  Thankfully, those expire when he leaves office.  In addition, he was really hoping to send over patriot drones over Syria and other lethal weapons to subdue the government. In which, the people do not want at all.  Finally, stupid John Kerry goes on and signs the UN Arms Treaty in which the Senate will revoke. I know that the Senate will revoke this treaty because even Democrats do not want other international representatives dictating the U.S.  Furthermore, they will lose their Senate seats if they support the treaty.  Some had to learn the hard way during the mid-term elections in 2010 when they supported the Healthcare Reform Act.  

Obama and his administration clearly have forgotten that they do not have the support of the people from when they entered into office in 2008.  John Kerry is really overstepping and so is Obama.  When are the people going to realize that this government is extremely tyrannical? 

Yes there are those that are going to ask themselves well what about former President Bush like with the Patriot Act.  Well Obama and Congress favored continuance of that law. So think about who has got the interests of the American people at heart.  One thing I know for sure it is not the federal government. 

Obama Stop Ignoring the People

This is going to brief because I am tired and I want to go to bed.

Obama and his fellow colleagues are once again making a decision to ignore the American people and go for intervention into Syria.

He claims that it is not going to be like the Iraq War, but I highly doubt that and we will be there for a long time.  I really do think the U.S. needs to take military option off of the table.  Furthermore, a majority of Americans do not want this like the Affordable Health Care Act.  We were warned about presidents becoming tyrannical and Obama is becoming more like that every day.  Issuing executive orders with a high disregard for the people and passing laws that Americans see as unfavorable.

Obama do what you want, but know in the future you will become known as one of the worst Presidents in history if you keep doing what you are doing.

Stop ignoring the people. This election you should have realized that you need to listen to the people and you almost lost this election.

No Military Invasion of Syria

Everyone knows that Obama is now adding military option against Syria if the conflict does not resolve or President Assad does not step down.  

President Obama is not thinking about this and he is acting very similar to President Bush.  Many of you will think that this is not similar to President Bush invading Iraq, but it is. 

I do not think that we have the right to intervene into the Civil War of another nation.  Anyways, if we help these rebels (militarily( who is to say they will not turn on us once like many of Shiite Muslims in Iraq.  However, not all of them have turned on us, but definitely the radical side of them that has a similar outlook to the rulers of Iran.  President Obama and Democrats in the end did not support the invasion of Iraq and criticize Bush for the war.  However, they all think that it is okay to invade Syria.

The situation in Syria is worse then the one in Iraq in 2003.  The reasons why:

1. It is a Civil War between a group of people (rebels) and the government.  The rebels are tired of the government they view as tyrannical.  They say they want more rights, but who knows it could be like Egypt in the future where it actually gets more strict, but under Sunni rule.
2. Yes, the conflict may be causing mass amounts of refugees, but in what war has there been no refugees?  Yes, countries like Lebanon, Jordan, Turkey, and other countries are having problems with refugees, but that is nothing new when it comes to war.  Those people are the ones that deserve to have food and aid.  On the other hand, the rebels are violent and once again we do not know if they will turn on us once they have won the war.
3. Russia and China have valuable reasons for other countries not to invade into the Syrian conflict and they could pose big problems to the U.S. if we decide to invade.  Furthermore, Russian troops (minimal) are already on ground in Syria, helping President Assad gain control over Syria again. If we invade to help the rebels we will be fighting a proxy war with the Russian military.  That will make relations with the Russians even worse.  I guess we could use Syria as a means of getting back in China for causing that conflict with Japan, but still not wise to invade.

Once again are dear President and Congress is going to refuse to listen to the American people.  He refused to listen on the Healthcare Bill and now he is not going to listen to the American people again.  We should stay out of it all together and not make the decision to join a side.  Right now no one knows who is the lesser of two evils. In the end, it looks like Obama wants to support rebels who eat soldiers hearts to send a message.  

The Election Goes to Obama, Now Back to Reality

So I am happy that the election is finally over and buisness will resume soon.  So he won the Electoral Vote and barely lost the popular vote.  I bet that this win is a good and bad thing for him.  Good that he won the reelection, but now he has to start listening to the people and working with the House Republicans and encouraging Senator Reid to work with the House.  He now knows that he has to work a little harder for Americans to see him as favorable.  

One thing is that he has to stop playing the blame game, the blame game needs to stop.  He needs to stop blaming Bush and Republicans because everyone is to blame for the way things are, including himself.  Example, the budget was not passed because Reid refused to put it on the floor for discussion and vote.  Boehner and Obama worked together to try to work out some kind of agreement and they did, but Reid refused to cooperate.  

Another issue is Iran, we have to decide to do something about them because the after January you can expect Israel to attack.  If Israel attacks and Iran upholds its promise to attack American bases an interests, we are going to be in a war, whether we like it or not.  He has to find some way to deal with them and stop the automatic cuts on defense which is going to harm the economy and hurt our ability to brace ourselves for war. 

Japan and China, he better get some diplomatic talks going, so those two do not get into it.  

However, the main issue is that we need to start uniting this country.  We need to get both sides to work together.  Otherwise, this country will be in the crap hole because we could not compromise.  I apologize for attacking Harry Reid so much, but if you want to know he has been very uncooperative. At least to some degree Obama is willing to work across the aisle in a limited fashion.

Wall Street

I am really disappointed with Americans, I believe that we are moving in a direction that is far from the Constitution. Maybe it is time for a new one that lets the Socialist win, so they can see how it will fail. The majority of the people are just falling the stuff they see on TV, they do not reasearch anything. Well, maybe some do. The do not bother to look deeper into the issues and see both sides.

I am happy that the American Government was formed the way it was because it prevents idiots that let the media influence them from gaining control. IF they did have the ability to gain control it would be tyranny of the majority. It would kind of be like Iran. One week they enforce a law and than they stop enforcing it the next week. If America ran like that we would be in chaos.

Majority of the people protesting, I guarantee, have not taken an economics class and does not know how it works. They do not understand that corportations are the ones that give them the jobs and not the government. IF they regulated the businesses more and taxed them hire then there would be less jobs.

Clearly, it has been proven that Capitalism works, we have been running a capitalistic system since the country was born. It has shown that corporations hire more people then anything else. The government sucks at paying its employees except their are great benefits. The government has no right to take ownership of a company, that is violating their rights to private property.

Americans need to understand that corporations are private businesses and the government can only tax them. Now if taxes increase than less jobs will be around because they do not have the money to pay for more people. If corporations get increased regulation than more people will lose their jobs.

The solution is to deregulate and not increase taxes, more jobs will be created.

You know the president ask the rich, how much money do you need to live? However, maybe we should decrease your pay to 100,000 every year. You ask this question, but according to the Constitution we have the right to private property, pursue happiness, and liberty. We have the freedom to make as much money as we want and prevent the government from taking away property. We have the right to have success or failure. The Constitution allows Equal Opportunity, but in order to go where you want to go you need to work for what you want in life. IF you do not work for what you want than you do not deserve it. That is how America operates and how it will continue to work.

I work hard every single day to get good grades to get a degree. Eventually, get a high paying job. I work for what I want and others in America should do the same.

If you do not want to work for what you want than stay on government assistance or get the hell out of the country. Go to a country where it is mandatory that businesses shut down for an hour. Go to a country where they pay you since the day that you were born, go there. If you do not like America than leave!!!

You say that you want corporations to come back to America, but you want tax them. Well, if you tax them more they are not going to come back to America. They need incentives to come back to America and taxing them is not going to be one of them.

Crazy Republicans

http://gothamist.com/2011/09/15/james_carville_to_president_obama_t.php

This guy had the nerve to say that he does not want any crazy Republicans running the country. I guess he is really scared that Republicans might actually win the race. Who is to say that some of Obama's ideas were not crazy. I clearly understand where this guy stands. He is a close-minded individual that will never be able to see a middle ground. James Carville will always be negative towards the other party. At least I may be a Republican, but I want to see the benefits of both sides and that bad parts of ideas.

He is like some of those Republicans and Democrats that do not want to compromise so that they could help the American people. He is clearly a portrait of the narrow-minded individuals in office that are hurting our nation. Put aside the thoughts of your campaign to be re-elected and start thinking about the citizens. If people do not re-elect you, you need to let them know that what you did was for the best interest of America. We need to start having term limits on the Representatives and the Senators.


By the way Republicans will fire right back at you James Carville for ignorantly attacking the Republicans the way you did. You obviously have no sense in what you said and how politically incorrect you were you idiot. I have some arguments that I would love to present to a narrow-minded guy like you. At least I can see in the middle of things.

Finally Someone that Speaks the Truth

http://www.buffalonews.com/editorial-page/article513761.ece


I am so happy to be able to finally read an article that speaks the truth. The President and the Congress are both to blame for the reason why there is still a high unemployment percent. They made a big deal about the debt ceiling while Wall Street is suffering. This article talks about how employers and Wall Street are not able to expand because they have no confidence in the government resolving the issues. Obama has not reassured us that everything is going to be fine. If the government has no hope than the people are not going to have a hope. As a result, of no hope, no one is going to spend. Also no one is going to hire new people.

I have been trying to find a job since I graduated from high school and I have only had two temporary jobs. That is better than some, but I need a stable income and I cannot get that if no one is hiring.

The President and Congress are the ones to blame for their being no jobs not Wall Street. Whether we like to admit it or not those people on Wall Street work hard for their money as we all should do. This country was built on hard work, earning your way to make a living. However, during the times we have become more dependent on the government to resolve the issues and take over our responsibilities.

We should try to work for our money and I want to work for money. Right now I am living off of my mom and I hate it so much. I want to go to school and work at the same time, but the only thing I am doing is going to school. No one will hire me and I am stuck. If the government gets their out of their butts than we can solve these issues, and get rid of the party lines and work together.


The government should ease the restrictions on business and get those unions to stop taking advantage of city governments and corporate. So they can do their jobs to get more workers, I am not asking to get rid of unions, but they need to reel them in.


The President and the Congress need to realize that they are going to have to compromise. IF you want to increase taxes on the corporations and rich than you are going to have to lesson the regulations on them a bit.

Please lets get over the party lines and compromise because you are hurting Americans on both sides, we are tired of suffering!!!

I feel like America is on a repeat pattern minus the Cold War

I was very much attempted to put a picture of Jimmy Carter and Obama right next to each other. The reason why is because they are carrying the very same policies in regards to taxes, rich, and the oil companies.

They are similar in taxes because Jimmy Carter had the taxes increased on the rich and than inflation happened. Obama wants to do a nice big increase on the wealthiest in America and cover up loop holes to make them equal to paying the taxes. However, they do pay plenty in taxes and if he wants to see the economy get out of the crap whole than he is going to have to do a small increase. However, does Obama know how much us the middle-class get in tax loopholes to and many get their money back after taxes have been filed.

If he wants to increase the taxes than he needs to do it gradually. Otherwise, inflation goes up and that really affects the middle-class. The middle-class helps run the economy because they are the ones that spend and work. The middle-class are the main consumers and if you have increase inflation than the consumers stop spending. Now we do not want that to happen.

Obama wants to deal with the oil companies and be a little ruthless towards them. However, if you are going to increase how much they need to pay than they are going to cut jobs and increase the price on gas. In which we do know that the wealthiest and high middle class are the ones that can afford electric power cars and not the poor. Once again the consumers (middle-class) is going to be affected.

By the way the people that are going to be most affected by the increase in taxes and dealing with the oil companies is the poor. If you increase taxes than the poor get affected by either cut hours, loss of jobs, or increase in prices.

I think that the best option for the United States is to deal with the problem of medicare and social security. In which they cut into the budge more than the military. Social Security and Medicare take up 2/3 of the budget. Want to know why that happened? It happened after the government first enacted the reforms of Franklin D. Roosevelt, they began to take the money collected and use it on other government issues. So really they need to deal with that, it is the reason why the United States has such a big debt.

Gradual increase in taxes on the rich will help with the situation too. Increase taxes and than get to a maximum point and than gradually decrease the taxes than do it all over, which is Euler curve.

Get Over It

http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2011/07/16/ap/politics/main20080115.shtml

China has some nerve being upset at Obama for having the Dalai Lama coming to meet with him. Seriously, get over it. Obama clearly does not support the Tibetans trying to separate from you. If he did than he would have said that they recognize them as a country and would have sent troops to help them fight. You know that North Korea is in good relations with China and I have not seen us whining against those good relations. The Dalai Lama clearly did not come over to the United States to discuss how to save his people from China. He came to the US to celebrate a Buddhist holiday in which he has the right to.

Another thing is that the Dalai Lama should be allowed to and is expressing his sympathy for the Tibetans. China has treated them very cruelly over the decades as they have for many people that have opposed them. It is not wrong to express some kind of sympathy for them. They burn themselves up to support their cause.


However, I do agree with the Tibetans that China does need to get out of Tibet because they are illegally occupying the place. Their revolution will eventually happen, but it will only happen when China gets weaker or another country helps their cause. See China gave them false hope that they would leave and than they lied. I do not think that there has been a government that is completely honest to their people.


I am not surprised that China lied to them, but they know that they have no right to be there.

Pakistan

http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2011/may/10/bin-laden-fight-hostile-pakistan

I am kind of disappointed with the US at the moment. I think that we should have probably consulted Pakistan before we raided his hideout. How would we feel if another country suspected a terrorist hiding out in the US and conducted a raid without our approval. Right now the government is not thinking at all or they were not thinking at all. I understand that they found proof that he was there and I am all up for getting the guy. However, the US is just not doing the right thing. They are lying to the Pakistan government and not communicating to them.

The US needs to start thinking about the relationships that we have with other countries. Especially Pakistan, we had great relationships with them until we started letting the drones in and now we conduct a raid without them approving. If someone did that to us we would be angry and tell them that they had no right.

WHO ARE WE TO JUST WALTZ INTO ANOTHER COUNTRY? Just because we are the US does not mean that we have that right, there is a reason why so many may hate us. We do stupid things like that. We could have let Pakistan know that we would like to conduct a raid and then bargain with them. IF they want something from the US, we would do our best job to meet those needs so that we could have gotten Osama

I think that it is great that we got the guy. However, THE END RESULTS DOES NOT JUSTIFY THE MEANS!!! We have absolutely no right to do that because we would not like it at all

The worst part about this is that Obama issued that special forces were given the order to fire at Pakistan police or military if they met any opposition. That is so wrong, I would think that Pakistan has a right to fire because you just came into their country illegally. For a country that is suppose to be helping human rights, we sure are destroying them. Pakistan has the right to shoot if they please, Obama you cannot just walk into your country thinking that you have privileges.

I love the US, it is my country. However, we are wrong in how we got Osama, that is just the end of the story. Pakistan has every right to be upset with us.


PS I know that the US has been doing it for awhile. However, i think that I have the right to get a little upset and I know that it will happen again

Osama's death

Okay so I had to sit through two classes that talked about this mans death. One professor was like it was wrong for Christians to celebrate because that is what the Bible tells us. The other was not surprised that Christians acted that way or the US citizens acted that way. My opinion is that I am not surprised that we acted and cheered when we first heard the news. I was excited that justice has finally been served. This man finally got what he deserves.

Now some make the argument that he was a father and a husband too. On the other hand, he killed over 3, 000 Americans and countless others that were fathers, mothers, husbands, wives, daughters, and sons. He should not have killed those people and we cannot let a man run around and do that to people.


Europe was not going to do anything about Osama ten years ago when he attacked the US. The only people that was going to do something about it was the US, no one else was brave enough to do it except us. Madrid subways had gotten attacked, did they send troops to the middle east to find the leaders to fight them, no of course not. IF President W. Bush had not sent the troops in to find him then he would have attacked us more and would have attacked other countries. I am happy that Obama (sad to say I need to give him credit) and military leaders, the military as a whole were able to organize to find him and take him at. Justice needed to be served and sad to say we would rejoice.


However I am not fully happy with him being dead because we still need to worry about terrorists. The war is not done just yet, there are still things that the military may need to finish up. Also the war on terror is not done because there are still going to be people attempting to harm the US. There was an article that was posted a few days ago that stated that the NYPD is practicing with bomb sniffing dogs in the subway and at Times Square because terrorists are going to try. Also federal agencies know that sleeper cells exist in the US and they are trying to make sure to prevent those sleeper cells from getting aid from the terrorist organizations in the middle east.


Terrorism is still a risk, it does not end with one man dead. As a Christian I think that justice has been served, I am not happy about the thought of death, but he killed thousands. I wish that he knew Jesus Christ!!!
