I'm running out of blog names that are longer than necessary

My original intention for this blog was going to be talking about some facts I uncovered while researching my paper comparing and contrasting between Rome and the USA. I heard, but could not find a proper source to verify, that in recent legislation the congressmen at Washington had voted to increase their salaries. Something that we the American taxpayers probably don't need. While I couldn't find any facts to back this up, I did find something that ground my gears much harder.
A group of politicians, mainly progressive democrats, have recently formed a group of people, statistically 47% of American taxpayers, who will no longer be forced to pay the federal income tax.
Not only is that promoting big government, but also blatantly and wrongfully building a supportive base voting block for Democrats in the future, while
ensuring the dependency of those people on the government, and putting that 47% of people on the 53% rest of us. I don't know about the next guy, but I'm pretty sure I like my taxes as low as they go. But at the same time, I like fulfilling my civil duty of paying taxes to the government that is supposed to build me roads, fund my public schools, deliver my mail, and now all of a sudden provide me the same healthcare I had before at a lower cost to me, and to everyone, and be in charge of making my.. cars..?
Now wait, back up. I'm pretty sure that the bill of rights only covers my right to life, liberty and my pursuit of happiness, which seems pretty straightforward to me. Why then do todays politician have so much trouble understanding something so basic? America was founded on the "right" to be happy, but it never guaranteed it. It gave me the "right" to life, yet it steals it from the unborn daily. It ensures my "liberty," yet now thinks it must tell me what kind of health care plan I need, car I drive, 'carbon footprints' I leave, etc. And not only that, but now they think it is every persons "right" to have this health care? Even non citizens??
The purpose of the government is to serve its citizens, keep them happy, healthy, and prosperous, none of which can be applied to america today.
Why do we keep electing these people?

Ignorance is bliss. (And it seems like we're in paradise)

I was listening to the radio yesterday and I heard a very interesting factoid.
It would appear that our president Barack Hussein Obama attended a White Sox game earlier this week, either the 5th or the 6th, to throw the opening pitch for the Sox. I know his background as an American is fishy at best, but I was horrified to hear that our commander in chief can't even throw a baseball! I don't know about you, but I'm pretty sure baseball is America's past-time. Movies like The Sandlot and Major League confirm this. So, how can anyone who grew up in America not know how to throw a ball? It doesn't matter how well you can throw, or how far or how hard, but unless you are a super-nerd or missing a limb, you can probably throw a baseball. Girls included.
On top of this, he goes on to discuss his favorite team, the White Sox, and how south side Chicago baseball is the true baseball. When asked to name his favorite sock, instead of answering a simple question, he goes on a pointless ramble, barley even mentioning the Sox, and discussing how he instead grew up an Oakland A's fan until he moved to Chicago. Because he lived in Hawaii.
It was also brought to my attention that although he says he grew up near "Cominsky" Park, it is actually pronounced "Comiskey" Park. Common mistake I'm sure. I grew up near a Little Caesnar's pizza and a Clarnks gas station.
I live 20 minutes away from Peoria but I know the Chief's play at O'Brien Field, The Cardinals have Busch Stadium, and the Cubs play at Wriggly. I'm not a big baseball fan, and I don't necessarily like any of those teams, but I at least know that much. (And how to throw a ball.)

Now back to my main point. Why would the president feel the need to lie about something so minuscule as baseball? Why not just say he's an A's fan and name his favorite? Or say he doesn't know how to play baseball and never had a favorite team because of this? Is it because the rumors that he isn't an American are true? I don't know, but I do know that he's a phony, I just don't know how much of him is.
What else is he lying about? In my opinion, probably everything, but that doesn't matter.

I am a product of my upbringing. I accept no blame for my actions.

My most apparent flaw after writing the first of our papers for this semester is organization and clarity. I tend to write off on a tangent of my original point, and end up with paragraphs that don't seem to add much to the paper. They make sense to me because I know what I'm talking about, or believe in what I'm saying, but to someone outside of that it seems garbled. It really demotivates me when I have to take out something I believed fit because other people believe that it does not, but they do have the numbers advantage, and a fresh vantage point.
My writing is the true definition of trial and error. Literally. Trial by fire. I don’t know how many drafts I made for my paper before I finally found one that was acceptable to the masses. And even then it seemed it wasn’t acceptable to all the masses. Every group I passed the paper through found a paragraph they didn’t like and sections that didn’t make sense to them. Another problem was facts they didn’t believe. It’s hard to know what to site when I already know the facts behind what I’m saying, and instinctively assume that if I know it, everyone should know it. This brought me to my biggest realization about my writing; when I write, it is always written for someone with the pre-existing thoughts and beliefs that contour to my own. So for my next paper I’m going to attempt to write more objectively, which I know isn’t going to happen, but I hope that at least taking this mindset into the first stage of writing might solve my problem.
I am nothing without my objections.
