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. 

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. 

 

Parents and the Government Part of the Problem with Education in America

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/06/18/us-mayors-back-parents-_n_1604975.html?ncid=edlinkusaolp00000003

The summary of this article is that the parents are taking back the schools.  Mayors and city councils are supporting laws and passing laws that make it possible for parents to override the school boards in their school districts. The parents now have the ability to fire teachers and do what they want with the schools like make them a private institution.   My problem with this education system is that some parents are to blame for the way things are going as well as the government. These mayors have the nerve to support these new laws, but they are not going to there state government or to the federal government to handle these problems.  They are the ones that need to take responsibility for the mess that the schools are in and the parents need to take more responsibility for not making their kids increasingly responsible for their grades (talking mainly high school with this comment).  The parents are responsible to encourage and help their children get good grades and to focus on their education.  They should punish for bad grades (not talking beating the crap out of them or anything like that).  People are so quick to blame teachers, but in reality it is a combination of all three. I am not trying to make an argument that all teachers are good teachers, there are a few that are terrible teachers.  

However, I think that everyone is responsible for the school systems failing.  The federal government does not focus enough on education.  They should focus on education because then you are going to have a surplus of workers for  minimal wage or for specialized areas in the future.  We need to encourage students to go to school and to do better than what is expected of them.  They need to be taught by parents, teachers, and the government that school is important, they need to be encouraged.  On the other hand, this is not a perfect world so there is always going to be people that are going to drop out, government officials that do not care, and teachers that are bad teachers.  

The government needs to focus on math and science programs so that we can get Americans into the fields.  However, that may not happen because employers can pay foreigners less than they can with Americans.  Americans can still fight for a better educational system, but please stop putting all the blame on teachers, school boards,and the administration because it is not solely there fault.  The parents need to make there children learn what responsibility and take responsibility if they have bad grades and if they think the teacher purposely gave them bad grades then they need to go to the school administration or the school board.  For example, when I was in school I felt like my PreCalculus teacher was not teaching me correctly and I went to the school administration to take me out of the class and to make a formal complaint. In the end, he was gone sometime within the year.  

Finally we are not going to have any real changes done unless we elect those that may have gone to a public school or put their kids in the public school system.  Everyone in Washington  Brother HL-2240 Laser Printer

Gay Marriage

The dear politicians today think that gay marriage is a key issue during this election.  So lets talk about it.  I think that my fellow Christians need to recognize that in this day in age homosexuals are more open about their sexuality because there is greater acceptance.  There are churches and synagogues that appeal directly to homosexuals.  I think that as a whole Christians are going to have to get over the fact that there are going to be homosexuals and they are going to want to have the same privileges of getting married or have the same the rights as a married couple (civil union).  Even my own grandparents and my grandpa is a pastor suggested that civil unions and benefits should be given to them.  My sect of Christianity has been more open than other sects. 

Personally, I do not feel all to happy about gay marriage and I PERSONALLY do not support it. However, I am not going to get all stressed out if it passes nor join the protests against it because it is not my place to tell someone who they can get married to.  They could go do what they want and be who they want to be, so let them.  God tell us to love everyone for who they are and in the New Testament having faith in God is very important and if you have faith in Him you will go to heaven. If homosexuals would go to hell for being gay than I would go to hell for swearing or drinking too much on nights that I go out.  

So my personal belief is that gay marriage is wrong, but who am I to tell someone who should they should marry. 

Also gay marriage is not something for the federal government to decide, maybe it is the states decision to decide.  Who knows the Supreme Court decided in the social issue of abortion and porn so eventually they will make a decision on gay marriage.  The federal government taking on social issues is a totally different issue. 

Broadcast Media and Federal Government

Media is a wonderful thing. For instance, if it was not for technology I would not be writing a blog and this is a form of media. However, there are times that media really can damage people's images or even a nation's image. Also it can cause a nation to divide because of the information they give to the people.

Broadcast Media is beginning to damage America because of the information they give. They give information that will make Americans react and they want the news to be interesting. The media likes to present the Congress' differences and what they disagree upon. However, they do not show what they agree on or if they do it is only a minute broadcast. For instance, right now the media is focused on the Jobs Bill and on how much Republicans and Democrats do not agree. On the other hand, while the Jobs Bill is going on they did not show the Republicans and Democrats worked together to get THREE new trade agreements passed and President Obama signed off on it.

The media likes to present the drama of Congress and not what they agree on. Instead they prefer to get a rise out of Americans. I understand that it is their way of making news, but they are dividing the nation. They are constantly hounding at Congress. They hound Congress so much that politicians seem like they are campaigning in non-election years. If a Republican agrees with the Democrats he suddenly gets shunned and vice versa. If they agree with the opposite political party, that means trying to work together and agree with the other side.

Politicians are dividing up the United States along with the media because they refuse to make compromises. They refuse to agree with one another because they know the media will look down upon them and try to make them look bad to their Constituents.

America we need to start agreeing and stop depending on the media. If you do not have time listen to CNN and FOX News to see the different sides. Stop letting the media divide this nation even further down the line. As a nation we need to begin compromising. Otherwise, this nation will fall apart and we will be in a Civil War. Th federal government needs to compromise with one another and stop blaming each other because it is everyone's fault.

Media is not a bad thing, but it is hurting our nation. The downfall of broadcast media is that it tends to favor one side or the other and then it further divides the people. We have to learn how to compromise or else we will all end up to be losers.

Not Every Act that Congress Passes is Applicable to Each State

I was sitting in my politics class and I have sort of a revelation. I understand that the federal government passes acts to benefit us. However, some acts do not help other states. For instance, No Child Left Behind. This act may have helped kids that were falling behind in some states, but it hurt the other states. Some states have bigger problems than education. For instance, some states have immigration issues. They have their resources being used up by people that do not pay for those resources. Other states may have issues with unemployment. There are states that are in terrible economic conditions. Take Michigan for example they haven't and still do not have the best economy. Many people have moved from Michigan to Arizona because they think they can get jobs here.

I think that the federal government needs to begin looking at the smaller picture. Another way to help states more effectively is to give them block grants to help fix some of their problems.
