The Unmentionable

There are two things that we are not supposed to talk about in normal social situations, politics and religion. I personally like to push the boundaries and talk about both of them.
The whole blog has been dedicated to showing Jesus Christ, the real side of Christianity, not just religion. In this post I’m going to push the boundaries of politics.

This election could possibly be the most important election in our history. I know that has been said so many times in the last year, but we are at a crossroads. I believe whole heartedly is “hope” and “change” BUT I do not believe in Barack Obama or pretty much anything that comes out of his eloquently spoken mouth.

What I do believe in is the Americans peoples right to live and breath, safely. Has anyone noticed that sense 9/11 we have not been attacked once on our own soil?

I believe in the right for Americans to make as much money as they want, if they work for it honestly and ethically. Why does wealth have to be distributed? People work hard for their money, why should they have to pay for others to live? I understand that it’s our job as Christians to take care of others. But that’s exactly it, its our job as CHRISTIANS, it is not the governments job to take our money and redistribute it as they feel necessary. Barack has a plan called the world Poverty Act, where he would take 845 Billion for U.S. taxpayers and redistribute the money. I was reading about redistributing wealth today, and I came across this great example of how ridiculous this sounds. What if we decided that it is just crazy that Michael Phelps won 8 gold medals, and he is being very greedy with his gold medals, so we decided to take some of them away from him, and distribute them to “less fortunate” athletes. Or if we decided the New England Patriots had won too many super bowls, and they don’t need to win all those super bowls, so we need to give the super bowl trophy to another team. Makes no sense, right?

I do not think that we should have to pay for everyone’s healthcare. Once again, see above. Nationalized healthcare doesn’t work. Ask Canada. The guy who invented the healthcare system in Canada admits that it is in crisis. He now wants private sector to take back over, and he wants people to be able to exercise their freedom of choice.

I believe that every law-abiding citizen should have the right to carry a gun. It is a proven fact that in cities where the guns have been taken away, the crime rate is the highest. The criminals who steal the guns are not going to be affected by the gun ban, they will find a way to still get the guns, but the law abiding citizens who have the gun to protect themselves and their families will be in jeopardy.

I do not believe in dependency on foreign oil when we have the resources. I think that anwr is the greatest example of this. We have been brain washed in believing that the oil companies want to steal all of our money and destroy our environment. That is simply not true and nothing but political propaganda. In Anwr only 2000 acres are going to be used for the permanent infrastructure. There is virtually NO chance the environment will be harmed. I know that we have been told it will destroy the beautiful land. Take a look at the picture below, which is where they want to drill! I don’t see lush lands, and animals roaming around awaiting their death from the evil oil companies. I know that is has been said that there will be no relief for 10 years if we drill. When Bush just mentioned the word “drill” the price of oil dropped 25 dollars a barrel! Now for the profits of the oil companies. According to the tax foundation for 1977-2004 big oil made 643 Billion in profits BUT during the same span Federal and State Governments made 1.343 Trillion in tax revenues FROM big oil.

Anwr:






I’m not convinced that we are on the brink of global warming, and that is just not my opinion, that is the opinion of many scientists.

I believe the surge is working. Violence against U.S. troops is down 80 percent. Violence against Iraq civilians is down 70 percent. We have turned over more and more provinces to Iraqi control. Iraqi economy is being rebuilt. Guess what? If the surge is working, which it is, that means it is now possible to start withdrawing U.S. troops from Iraq. Isn’t that what everyone really wants?


I believe we need to get the illegal immigrants out of this country. We need to do what is right for this country. 20 million people have broken the laws of citizenship. They are breaking the law! Would the government turn and look the other way if you or I were breaking the laws? Illegal aliens represent about 4-5 percent of our workforce; our unemployment figure is just over 5 percent. What does that tell you? If we get the illegal immigrants out of here they will be replaced with citizens who need those jobs. Not to mention the violence on the border is out of control. There are many drug smugglers and criminals doing everything they can to get over the border, which includes holding our military at gunpoint just to get across. In a study done in 2005 55,322 illegal aliens were researched, and they found that they were arrested at least a total of 459,614 times. I have no problem with legal immigrates at all, but we need to keep our country safe.


Wow, this got long. Just my opinion of course.:)
