Race Card Once Again

Why can a week not go by without the race card being drawn? Why do people have respect for people who draw the race card? Because in my opinion, it points to an uneducated and ignorant mind who can't come up with a better argument.

I wanted to ignore this incident since I really have no respect for Jesse Jackson but alas I do have to point out, like everybody else, his idiotic quote:

“We even have blacks voting against the healthcare bill from Alabama,” Jackson said at a reception Wednesday night. “You can’t vote against healthcare and call yourself a black man.”

And being black has to do with healthcare why? And do blacks ever get tired of quotes like this because it really does make them look dependent and needy when in reality, they aren't. Or at least the blacks I know aren't. Maybe Jesse Jackson is.

Food Fight

I used to get in trouble all the time for throwing food, so I feel for these students. And I am not sure a food fight deserves jail time, though I wasn't there and if trays are being thrown that might be a different story. Either way, the next time this newspaper decides to report such a story, they should try and quote people with a little more intelligence. But in an effort not to be mean and make fun of these people, I will leave it at that and let you make your own conclusions. Feel free though to leave me a comment if you can figure out which two quotes I find the most ridiculous.

China and Physical Punishment

This article was crazy to me. I do not think I agree that unhealthy addictions to the internet deserve physical punishment. But then again this comes from an internet addict who is very obviously using the internet so she can blog . But on a more serious note, I don't even begin to understand how people feel its okay beating kids to death. Or how parents feel okay trying to get their kids to change their habits by using such measures. All I have to say is that I hope this law actually changes this practice in China and that it is not just words coming from someones mouth to make things seem okay.

J/k ...You Can Think About the Election

It's been a few years since the Republicans have had much of a victory to boast about. Sadly, I did not have much of a chance to get involved in the elections in Virginia or Loudoun County this year as I was too busy getting married. But it looks like they didn't need my help this year.

An Election Just Happened but I am Thinking about Guns Instead and So Should You

My sister, who is doing a research/argumentative paper against gun control found this and I thought it was funny enough to share.

My favorites are:

These phrases," right of the people peaceably to assemble," "right of the people to be secure in their homes," "enumeration's herein of certain rights shall not be construed to disparage others retained by the people," and "The powers not delegated herein are reserved to the states respectively, and to the people," all refer to individuals, but "the right of the people to keep and bear arms" refers to the state.

Guns are so complex that special training is necessary to use them properly, and so simple to use that they make murder easy.

Ordinary people in the presence of guns turn into slaughtering butchers but revert to normal when the weapon is removed.

Most people can't be trusted, so we should have laws against guns, which most people will abide by because they can be trusted.

The ACLU is good because it uncompromisingly defends certain parts of the Constitution, and the NRA is bad, because it defends other parts of the Constitution.

Private citizens don't need a gun for self-protection because the police are there to protect them even though the Supreme Court says the police are not responsible for their protection.

Patriotism or Selfishness

Facebook statuses that I read today :
"only in America can the Prez win the nobel preace prize and people @#$%. Seriously WT$"
"Congratulations to President Barack Obama! This award of the Nobel Peace Prize is well deserved and brings honor to all of America."
Someone wrote on my facebook:
"In any case, we should be happy that an American got the award."


NOOOOOOOOOOOO PEOPLE! WHAT ARE YOU THINKING??

First and foremost: Someone please tell me what he did that deserves a Nobel Peace Prize? Did Obama invent something that changed the course of human enteraction and history, did he save lives somewhere along the way, did he save a country from destruction??? What did he do? The world looks no more peaceful to me today then it did before he got into office, nor can I point to once specific event in his life or action of his that deserves this prize.

Secondly, should I be happy just because an American won? Should I be sad just because South America won the Olympics? NO NO NO NO NO!!! Or at least thats what I think. For me, pride in this country comes from what it is. This country is, or was, a country about freedoms, freedom of religion, freedom to run your family the way you believe you should, freedom to get a job and earn money, freedom to act the way you want, freedom from oppression. I find pride in this country when it gives, when it goes out of its way to help other countries, when it really has no obligation too. This pride extends to when its individual citizens do the same. I find pride in our military, which is filled with many men and woman who put their lives on hold to defend this great nation. I find pride when we, through families, churches, and good schools, take the time to develop descent and knowledgable men and woman; when we defend morals and standards that have long been lost in other parts of the world. I find pride in many things.

I do not find pride in winning the olympics. The olympics are enjoyable and great. And yes, ill admit, when it is in the U.S. and we put on a great opening show, I feel a tab bit of pride. But do I feel a deep rooted pratriosim from winning it? No. I am just as happy when other countries win it to (if they deserve it). Do I find pride in this country when one of our citizens wins an award for something? I do when they have something grand to show for it. When they have given a big part of their life to a good cause and to giving to others, and when they are reverent and humble about it. But my pride isn't in the fact that they won something. Its more that I recognize the freedom, safety, family values, morals, etc. that are all present somewhere in this country, that have led to another great human being.

I DO NOT find pride in this country when one of its citizens wins an award, just because he is an American. No. I would be much happier if some citizen from another country, who truely gave, who truely did not expect anything in turn, received the award. I do not find pride in American Citizens receiving awards when they have nothing to show for it, when they did nothing, when they received it simply because they were Obama and Gore. Our country will no longer be a great nation if we allow this type of pride and selfishness to take over our thoughts. Just as the Nobel Peace Prize is no longer a great prize.

Abortion Alert

Some people get sick of hearing about the Abortion issue, but if there is ever a time to step up our game, its now. Obama has no boundaries when it comes to promoting abortion. I think Gateway Pundit did a great job of summing up what has been going on on the abortion front. I urge all to read this article and study this issue. Another article on the subject is Lifenews.com.

Now, BAC president William K. Thierfelder tells The Washington Times he would rather see the school shut down than violate its moral precepts.

"I hope it would never get this far but if it came down to it we would close the college before we ever provided that," he said.

Isn't there some way they can dismiss all employees who complained. Obviously, those employees are not living up to their religious standards and if they are a private school they should be able to set the standards of employment. Perhaps not. I am not that knowledgeable on the subject. Maybe the employees will stop complaining if the school decides it will shut down, as they will then not only be out of insurance, but also be out of a job.

This is about more than abortion. THIS IS ABOUT RELIGIOUS FREEDOM. OUR RELIGIOUS FREEDOM!!! Since when has the government been allowed to turn us all in godless people. People who can't practice their religion the way they want, worship who they please, say what they believe is true. It makes me sick. Remember that scene in V for Vendetta where the guy gets killed for having the Kuran. Is our country ever going to come to that, except for in our case, with the Bible? I pray and hope that we will be able to change the course our country is going in, that we will be able to save our freedom, that people may be able to safely practice their religion and live their moral standards. And that after forcing doctors to perform abortions, and the promotion of universal health care, we may still have some good doctors left in this country.
