So, there was some legislation recently passed.. And this is a random assortment of thoughts that come to mind whenever I think about it.

I’m not even going to start pretending like I know what I’m talking about, because honestly I could care less about what happens in DC. I hate politics, they’re a waste of time and they’re doing it wrong. It’s a bunch of idiots doing what a bigger bunch of idiots elected them to do, screw us all over.
If you couldn’t tell, I’m a pretty conservative individual; I think we need to spend more time on laws that can actually help, rather than tell me what I need in a health care system. I would much rather have large markets of jobs to pick from than a health care system that is aimed to hurt the people supplying those jobs the most. It’s not just the health care bill I disagree with; what ever happened to Obama’s terrifying Stimulus Package? Has anybody seen any new jobs popping up that weren’t there before? Because I sure as heck haven’t.
I believe in Capitalism. It was once brought to my attention that as a Christian I should embrace Communism, for it is very much like the lifestyle that was campaigned by the early church, donate everything you have to the church, that they can give it to those who need it more, and in turn help you as well. That is all very nice, but it says to do that of your own free will, and to the church, which is less likely to be corrupted than a corrupted government. And so I stand by my country, and the government that represents it so long as they don’t forget their place.
Communism or Socialism might look good on paper, but they can’t seriously be pulled off as a working form of government in this imperfect world, or at least in America, I know France has something like that going on, but really, they’re France, we’re better than them.
. I believe abortion is murder, (what else could it possibly be you are ending a human life???) I believe that things were indeed better in “the good old days,” the ones from before I was born even. What ever happened to the Cold War? Remember? When we spent billions of dollars purging the communists and radicals from our country, defending ourselves against foreign communists. Remember the decades spent fighting the Vietnamese in a war that really could have been avoided (If only we’d known that at the time, but it was ‘60’s nobody really knew anything). Securing freedom in South Korea, and in a less glorious moment abandoning our allies in the Bay of Pigs? Communism was the bad guy, one of the best characteristics of communism is its in-your-face big brother all-up-in-your-business feel. And I’m starting to feel it.
We’ve spent most of our countries time on earth standing for everything against communism, socialism, fascism, every ism. And yet here we are looking more Socialist than France. And it’s all thanks to President Obama and his democratic majority.
I believe that we should have a zero tolerance on illegal immigration before it ruins us completely. I believe that there is WAY too much garbage on the internet and it is WAY to easy to get to it. I believe that the private sector should be allowed to run its course without government intervention, (and I even understand a few of the government bail-outs we’ve had to deal with. If the government had let those automakers and insurance companies fall we would have lost even more jobs, but so far they have done nothing as far as replacing that which has already been lost. If feels like they’re trying to keep us dependant on them.. I wonder why?)
Awhile back, while listening to *GASP* conservative talk radio, I heard a perfectly logical explanation for this. It may not be the right reason, but it fits so well. The democratic majority in congress is saving the majority of that big scary stimulus package for election time, to save themselves at the last second rather than using it now when we need it most. I heard this back sometime last fall, and it’s still true. I think that that is enough reason to clean out the entire Senate and House of Representatives. Not just the democrats, but anybody that hasn’t put the stimulus package to good use yet. If it is already out of the government’s pocket, no matter how much I disagree with it, it should still be used towards the betterment of our country. And yet it is just sits there.
If I was given even just a million or billion of that stimulus package to stimulate the economy, it feels, at this point, that I could do more than the entire government has done so far, and that’s what is awesome about Capitalism. The government can’t, no matter how much it would like to think it can, do everything. They can pass all the laws they want and throw all the money they can at a problem, but in the end private businesses are the best way to maintain our economy. What do you think has made America so great throughout the years? Our fast food?
And most of all, I feel that Barack Obama and Nancy Pelosi should never have been allowed to run for a government office. Not that I don’t dislike republicans, I’m not very fond of Sarah Palin either, but Sarah Palin hasn’t tried to tell me exactly what kind of health care is best for me through legislation I adamantly disagree with.


Can anybody tell me what was so bad with the health care we had before? I don't remember having any problems with it..

  1. It's probably because you didn't have any problems with it that you didn't think it needed to be fixed.

    BTW, can you please direct this passion, this ambition, this fabulous WORD CHOICE to your argumentative papers? Can you please transfer whatever magic has been appearing on your blog to your ENGL 111 written assignments? Of course, you're going to have to back up these rantings with some hard, cold evidence, but for someone who "hates politics" you sure have a lot to say.

    AND, I would LOVE to see a paper about the Christian/Communism/Capitalism issue.
