WHAT!?!?!?!?!

Tonight is potentially one of the scariest moments i have witnessed in this country since 9/11. A man is going to take power over this country in Jan. that is going to play robin hood. he is going to tax us to hell and back, just as the democratic government has done since they have taken power. and now that it looks as if he will have 60% in both houses, who is to stop him from running us into the ground. Fanney mae was run under by his new economic advisor. was it really smart to elect this man?

Economy and the Next President

Well like I have said many times I do not understand the economy all that much. But I do understand that I do not being taxed for stupid things but that is another topic entirely. But for those of you just reading this because you just like surfing the web and just so happened to stumble on this blog I apologize. For those of you who are in my sociology class I hope that you get this stuff better than I do. But the economy has become a major part to this election this year, one of the biggest. Probably one of the biggest since the last time… when Reagan ran for president. Or even going way back to when Franklin Delano Roosevelt had run for president. But a big part of it is that the people need to boost this slowing economy. Too many things are failing. But I can tell you one thing is that people are tired of being overly taxed. I know my dad receives almost half of his paychecks and his bonus checks. Soon enough the American people will be getting less and less to pay into useless things that don’t help the economy. The people are scared to buy as is, more taxes will only hurt worse. They already have to worry buying gas and paying taxes if the president wants to establish some sort of faith in buying again he needs to cut a lot of taxes that are useless like inheritance taxes or prize taxes.

His Ball Is Tan :)

This is what happens when the US government leaves an area unstable. When it leaves and doesn’t look back when they say “you are free now make your own way”. This is where the nation runs into problems, Lebanon was engaged in a civil war the US decided to jump into the middle of it and then the people had won and the government had risen but eventually the people began to lose their thoughts in government and the terrorists or rebels or whatever you want to call them had fought out against them without any significant help and the battle ended with the terrorists or rebels gaining control of West Beirut. The one problem that I run into with this is that the US trains these people and then refuses to fight them when they engage in terrorist activities. its backwards thinking. The military needs to train them with the full knowledge that they could one day be fighting against them. These people engaged in terrorist activities just because one is trained to kill and take house doesn’t mean that they should use it whenever they so choose it should be a final option. But the military should have fought against these people. Like I said this is what happens when you leave a place unstable, the people or something will snap and eventually lead to bigger and more problems. We still have troops in Germany why would we not have troops in Lebanon after the civil war was over.

BURMA

The Chinese have experienced a natural disaster that has shaken the world over. This tornado has claimed 15,000 lives already and before the rubble is cleared I believe there will be many more lives lost, and many more mourning families. Just like the grandfather at the beginning of the article many families will soon realize that their young son or daughter will never return home again. Like many Asian cultures they believe in the superstition that this happened because they are being punished for some wrongs in their past. How much of that is true … I cannot honestly say but I do know this, these people are suffering greatly and despite the way that their government is, in terms of the oppression that some groups of people are going through, they need to react to save those who are savable before the death toll climbs. They do not, I’m sure, want a repeat if 1976 when they lost 240,000 people. Now is the time for this government to shine and show that these people can stand up to unfortunate events. But if they are by some chance being punished for something… is it coincidence that these bad things happen when the government is in too much control and does not democratically allow the people to rule themselves?

Discrimination Nation

This nation fights for equality on every issue of jobs and schools anything that they feel that they can fight about. The problems is, is that eventually the interview process is not going to matter. All people will have to do is send in the application and if the like what they are reading you get the job. Now there are some instances when it should not be legal to test the genealogy of one person versus the other but, like the author said, insurance should have that right. They cannot afford to just be blindly throwing money towards people without knowing the risk that they are going to take. It is bad for the economy. But as far as jobs go it depends the field of work that the person is going into. Attendance is key and if a person is more likely to be sick more often why should the business not have to know about it, again they would be throwing money at someone who might not be at work half the time. But if they are on a salary and granted those days off, they still get paid for doing nothing. But if it is a low income job that requires you to only come in when you are on the schedule than that should not be a factor in your hiring because you can always find someone to take your shifts.

Israel's Birthday

Happy Birthday to Israel! Unfortunately not tall the world feels the same. It has been sixty years since the UN has granted the nation into the world as a nation. But should we really be surprised when the rest of the world persecutes the nation of Israel? Answer: No. the Bible warns people about the creation of Israel as a nation again. And the Bible also talks about how its people (the Jewish people) will always be hated because of Jesus Christ. A lot of historical facts go into the fact that this place is hated by almost every surrounding Middle Eastern nation. But not only that sides need to be taken. The lines have been drawn and the US needs to choose wisely. But all that religious stuff aside, I think that in sixty short years the nation has resurrected a nearly dead language and fluently speaks it. Granted Hebrew is only meant for the educated and the higher up classes its still an amazing feat to bring back a language that has been dead for many years. and despite all of the anti-Semitism the nation still is a majority of a Jewish one. Once the nation establishes its dominance, the other nations will realize that the have shaken the wrong cage. Some of them already have they are just too strong willed to stop the fighting.
