Reinstate the draft.... Hell No!!


Yesterday, at one of McCains Town Hall Meeting, in New Mexico, a audience member said that "I we don't reenact the draft, I don't think we will have anyone to chase Bin Laden to the gates of Hell". And McCain agreed with this statement. Seeing that catching Bin Laden is "supposedly" a top priority for McCain. This is McCain's subtle way of saying that, if he becomes President, there will be a draft.

A draft is no different that the government making you a slave! A draft means, the Govenment will take you from your home and force you to fight for them. and if you refuse to do whatever they tell you to do, you'll be facing severe fines and jail time. We are not the Governments property, that they can do what they like with us. In my opinion, voting for McCain, is the same as saying "I am a disposable piece of property".  

Political Rhetoric Gets Personal


Yesterday, I made a post that criticized Sen. Barack Obama's foreign policy (My post state my opinion that; even though Obama continually discusses stoping the war, his foreign policy consists of raising the amount of troops we have and enhancing our military presence throughout the world. And that this jingoism will, in the long run, be detrimental for America economically and politically). I don't expect everyone to agree with my political opinions, but, nastiness, on a personal level, is never the answer!

Unfortunatly, it is all to common to see mudslinging tactics in the form of Intimidation, (Normally seen in statements that resemble; "Your wrong! I <sound like I> know more, and I am smarter, than you <blah, blah>, keep your opinions to yourself and stop complaining about my candidate <because I want to have his babies>!" Yada, yada...You've heard it, and seen it.) and Mocking, of you and/or your opinions, (i.e. Background, Books you've read, you're spelling, etc.,etc..).
I see a lot of Intimdation and Mocking tactics from the Candidates and their parties, via their campaign websites, speeches and TV commercials. But, it can also been seen in fueds between both sides "Hardcore" supporters.
 
People may not realize, from my post the other day, that I bash McCain with the same consistancy and intensity as I do Obama.  People, also don't realize that, while I trully enjoy political debates, with people who have differing view points, I hate nasty remarks, that poke at me on a personal level, and that I will poke back in an even meaner fashon. 

Why do people get so nasty and childish when dealing with people who have different political opinions.
One thing, I found, that helped me get past all of the imature tactics in politics, was to make a list of all of the candidates (Including the one you love and the one you hate). On that list, write down several reasons why they should win and why they should loss. For the candidate you want to win, write down extra reasons why they should loss, and for the candidate you want to loss, write down extra reasons why they should win. This may not change your opinion on who should win an election, but, I feel that, it does help people, see the other side of an argument. Hopefully enough, of the other side, to due away with the petty personal attacks.          
    

Obama's Foreign Policy


For a man who is screaming for us to get out of Iraq. The foreign policies that he hopes to enact, if elected, seems to be full of ideas that will get us into more conflicts.
- Increase the number of American troops
- Strengthen ties with NATO
- Engage in "Peace Keeping" missions around the world (Liberia, Congo, Sudan and Wherever NATO feels like intervening)
For someone who is opposed to the war in Iraq on the grounds that the war has a "undetermined length, with undetermined costs and undetermined consequences". He seems very egger to place our troops into similar situations, in other parts of the world, to engage in "Peace Keeping" missions.

The Fed!!


With the screams of recession looming in our midst the Federal Reserve Bank has decided to cut interest rates in the attempts at stablizing our economy.
For those of you who don't know what the Federal Reserve is, They are the privatly run central bank of America, which, create our money and regulate the value there of.

But wait...
Our Constitution States that Congress has the vested powers;

To regulate Commerce with foreign Nations, and among the several States

as well as;

To coin Money, regulate the Value thereof, and of foreign Coin, and fix the Standard of Weights and Measures

I'm Confused...

Why have we taken a power, from Congress and the People, and given it to a Private organization?  
Why do we allow a private bank to make our money for us, and then sell it to us, for a profit?
Why is a private bank regulating our economy, limiting our free market?
Why is it, that, not even the President can sit in on a board meeting of the Federal Reserve while they determine Americas financial future?  
Why is the Federal Reserve allowed to ignore the demands of Congress?
Why are we allowing our Constitution to be trampled on?

These are just a few questions i think we should start asking ourselves.
