Everyone Needs to Calm Down about Ebola

Seriously people really need to calm it down with Ebola.  Especially, those who live in the United States, we generally do not get in contact with other people's fluids.  

Furthermore, those who are in contact with fluids need to protect themselves from becoming sick.  There are three cases one in Madrid and there were two in the United States. 

Everyone has to find some new thing to worry about. 

For those health care workers who were in the countries that have Ebola should be quarantined when return so as to not infect other health care workers who are treating them.

I feel bad for those who are infected, but at the same time people have to think logically about the situation. The media is not helping because they always have to be the most dramatic, they are going to keep talking about Ebola because they like to scare the people and make it seem worse then it is which it largely contained to one area of the world. 

China Believes that Protestors are Influenced by Britain and United States

http://www.nytimes.com/2014/10/11/world/asia/some-chinese-leaders-claim-us-and-britain-are-behind-hong-kong-protests-.html?_r=0

Hello, it has been awhile since I have posted. I have found an interesting article regarding the protesting in China.

As some of you may know China has been experience protesting in regards to democracy.  The people want democracy rather then communism.  I do not think that America and Britain is behind the protesting.  I think that the people are tired of being controlled by a government who restricts expression and speech that does not align with the values of communism. 

The Communist party controls the media and controls the internet.  The people have no ability to express their concerns to the government through speech or through the media. They are tired of being oppressed therefore they have resulted to protesting.  

Protesting is their only means to get the message heard and it expands media coverage worldwide. It is difficult to supress or imprison a large group of people who have gained the attention of the world.  Therefore this protects them from obtaining the maximum harm that a government could do like massive killing or massive imprisonment.  They could do all those things if it was a smaller group who could not influence media attention like they have done before. 

All in all, just because these people are protesting the government does not mean that countries are funding them.  They want more freedom.  

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.

Guns and EBT cards?

http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2014/05/09/democrat-lawmaker-blasts-bill-blocking-gun-purchases-with-ebt-cards/

A few days ago I read an article about Democrat Timothy Horrigan being upset about a Senate bill that would block the purchasing of guns, tobacco, alcohol, and lottery tickets with EBT cards.  

I will say this that I am for gun rights and what not, but I do not think that EBT cards should be used to purchase that.  These people who are receiving these benefits should use it for food and basic necessities.  The whole point of poor families receiving these benefits is so that they can survive and not starve to death.  

He says that it is violating their Second Amendment rights, but it is not. The reason it is not violating Second Amendment rights is that they can save up money to get the guns that they want.  Furthermore, yes we have the right to bear arms, but it does not mean that you should use the benefits to feed your children to purchase guns.  

In addition, you do not need guns, alcohol, lottery tickets and tobacco to survive therefore EBT cards should not be used.  Lastly, there are plenty of other weapon choices that are available like a knife. I kept a knife underneath my mattresses for a long time to protect myself just in case one of my moms ex-husbands returned to attempt to kill us.  

The basic argument is that why should my tax dollars be used to pay for someone else to buy weapons, alcohol, tobacco, lottery tickets when they need to use their benefits to feed their children?

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.    

Accidently Hit the Bronx on the Subway...made me think.

Today I was riding on the subway and attempting to go to a cafe in Brooklyn. Well, I went on the wrong way and began going into the Bronx.  After I corrected myself and decided not to go to the cafe and just go back to Midtown.

As I was sitting on the train, I realize there are thousands of people who ride the train and who are part of different social classes.  The people on the train to the Bronx did not look at me funny especially since I was the only white person on the train nor did they mock me.  I really appreciated the fact that they did not look at me or treat me any different.  

Furthermore, here in New York different social classes and races interact with one another on a daily basis.  Yes, like other cities and states there are the rich, poor, and middle classes.  However, they are forced to interact with each other and they cannot seclude themselves from each other.  I like it because it makes everyone more accepting of one another because you are going to run into them regardless of how much money you make or where you live.
