Political stuff you probably didn't want to know

Obama Event: 2

2009-03-19T19:11:00.000-07:00

Sunlight before signing...

Obama said he would post all bills up on the internet for five days before signing for the American people to read and comment. (unless they were emergency status bills)

He didn't...

although it looks like at some point he may start doing this...

http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/promises/promise/234/allow-five-days-of-public-comment-before-signing-b/

personally I don't care if i can comment on legislation, I don't think obama or any of his staff members will really take into consideration what people say. I think it's really just a feel good tactic.

Obama Event:1

2009-03-11T13:56:00.000-07:00

January 23rd, 2009

Obama reversed the ban on federal funding for international groups that perform abortions or provide information on abortions.

So now part of the money that the government steals from you is used to help irresponsible people kill their kids!

can you say hooray?

http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=99830240

Regardless of your stance on abortion. This is an increase in spending which probably isin't a good idea with the national debt being what it is right now. Also, this is light socialism, stealing money from one group of people and giving to another.

Questions

2009-01-31T16:35:00.000-08:00

A. Scott / Xeirxes said...

"So I had a talk with a friend the other day about the motorcycle helmet laws in some states. My argument was basically, "It doesn't hurt anyone, so why should we enforce it?" His argument was, "It doesn't hurt anyone, but they say it costs taxpayers $100,000 every time someone gets in a motorcycle accident. It's better for the good of the group if we enforce a helmet law."

What is your stand on this?"

well my first question is how do we spend 100,000 dollars every time a motorcyclist dies in a crash? Did the great state of Nevada take like a 100,000 dollar bet with his old drinking Buddie that NO ONE would ever die in a motorcycle accident in Nevada?

I'm pretty sure it doesn't cost 100,000 dollars to scrape a dead guy off of asphalt. although I am not one to know such things.

anywho, if we (the taxpayers) had to pay 100,000 dollars every time I masturbated, although that would be ALOT of money it would be an invasion of my privacy and libertyto stop me. so yeah that's kinda a hard one (no I'm not talking about myself)

maybe we should take away the right/privledge to drive, then no one could get in an accsident and we would save the government alot of money.

I don't really have to much of an opinion on this but it seems that people should have the choice to think for themselves UNTILL it hurts other people...

so does not wearing a motorcycle helmet hurt other people??? It's debateible

sorry I couldin't fully awnser your question...

Thumbs up for Obama!

2009-01-29T22:47:00.000-08:00

He's actually sticking to what he said he would do...

close Guantanamo bay...

so he gets respect points from me...

although i don't agree with him on hardly anything...

I had a little trouble beleaving this was true but i looked it up and here is one of the many arcticles i found...

http://www.capitolhillblue.com/artman/publish/article_7779.shtml

it was said behind closed doors so the people who claimed he said it could be lying but it sounds like something he would say considering his actions in the white house over the past eight years...

anyways, good stuff!!!

Obama: Part III Economy

2008-07-02T06:00:00.000-07:00

So I want to start off by saying that this chapter in "the blueprint for change" has no real depth to it. Obama doesn't talk about monetary policy, The Federal Reserve or about abolishing income tax (he does talk about lowering it though). I think he must not really understand how the economy works or he is part of the Federal Reserve machine.

1. Obama wants to lower income taxes for working family's...
$500 off per person
Must be a two income family, like a mother and father who both have jobs.

This is nice, he understands that if the government steals less of your money you will have more to spend therefore helping the economy (pretty simple eh?). However he still endorses income tax (A.K.A. the government stealing your money) he just wants to lower it a little. We need to get rid of income tax; this would be a HUGE boost to our economy. If everybody has an extra $500 bucks to spend every year that helps. If every American is entitled to 100% of what they work for then you can start fixing our economy.

2. Obama wants to simplify filing taxes so it only takes 5 minutes a year. He wants to "ensure" that the IRS uses the information they already gets from banks and employers to give taxpayers the option of pre-filled tax forms to verify, sign and return."

Sounds cool the IRS doing your taxes for you!!! I’m sure that you'll have absolutely NO arguments with them as to how much money you made last year or how much you owe them...

Ever...

3. Obama wants to

"Use trade agreements to spread good labor and environmental standards around the world"

"Work with the leaders of Canada and Mexico to fix N.A.F.T.A"

"Pressure The World Trade Organization (WTO) to enforce trade agreements and stop countries from continuing unfair government subsidies to foreign exporters"

How bout we withdraw from WTO and start the real trading?
How bout we burn the North American "Free" Trade Agreement and let the people do the "free trade"?
How bout we stop our trade embargo against Cuba and let the people decide if they really are too "evil" to trade with?
How bout REAL free trade?

I disagree with obama on this issue of trade entirely.

4.
This next point is really stupid so I'm quoting the WHOLE thing just so people can't claim I twisted it

"Barack Obama will raise the minimum wage, index it to inflation and increase the Earned Income Tax Credit to make sure that full-time workers earn a living wage that allows the to raise their families and pay for basic needs."

Why not stop inflation?
...

Game over...

This is stupid...

Let’s say you decide to do this anyway.
Where are the employers gonna get the money to pay the new inflated wages?
Surely we aren't going to give all the newly printed money to businesses so they can pay the new wages. Then the government has no reason to print new money because they can't spend it.
What about other countries?
If our money is becoming worth less then it will still cost more money for all kinds of goods, like oil and certain produce that can't be grown here. Because other countries money will be worth more than ours.

I have to say I think this is a stupid idea…

Thanks for reading...

See you next Wednesday!

"I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around [the banks] will deprive the people of all property until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered. The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people, to whom it properly belongs."

Thomas Jefferson, Letter to the Secretary of the Treasury Albert Gallatin (1802)

Obama: Part II Health Care

2008-06-25T06:00:00.000-07:00

This is on the second chapter from the blueprint, Health care...

First thing,
Obama wants so much more government interferance with the health industry than there is today I'm convinced the only thing he can do is make it worse! any market we see government interferece the prices go up and that market stops revolving around the consumer...

as Ronald Regan once said
"Government can't solve the problem. Government IS the problem!"

I propose a free market healthcare industry. get the government out of it...

I could go in to all the depth of his plans but i'm not here to think for you and i'm to lazy to copy everything out of the blueprint.

so if you want you can go read it yourself...

http://www.barackobama.com/pdf/ObamaBlueprintForChange.pdf

pages 6-9

if you want to hear more about how to fix health care and whats wrong with it currently check this guy out... he's was a doctor for a long time and he's delivered like 40 million babies (oh wait 4,000 babies)

Govenment Control

2008-06-20T06:00:00.000-07:00

in Russia there isn't a "true" freedom of the press. I guess they aren't allowed to make fun of their leaders on television there...

http://www.iht.com/articles/2008/06/02/africa/russia.php

it's funny because we think of things like this being so far away from American government... untill we know about things like the "Sedition Act"

http://www.constitution.org/rf/sedition_1798.htm

obviously there is alot more to be read there but this is the most crazy thing. This is a description of what the offence is and what they can charge you with. The worst part is that John Adams signed this in as president!!! he was one of our founding fathers! thankfully this is no longer still in effect... so it's okay...

so look!

"SECTION II. Punishes seditious writings.
1. Definition of offence:
To write, print, utter or publish, or cause it to be done, or assist in it, any false, scandalous, and malicious writing against the government of the United States, or either House of Congress, or the President, with intent to defame, or bring either into contempt or disrepute, or to excite against either the hatred of the people of the United States, or to stir up sedition, or to excite unlawful combinations against the government, or to resist it, or to aid or encourage hostile designs of foreign nations.

2. Grade of offence:
A misdemeanour.

3. Punishment:
Fine not exceeding $2000, and imprisonment not exceeding two years. "

If you want to know more about this you can look it up on google or wikipedia, just search
"The Sedition Act of 1798"

Obama: Part I Ethics

2008-06-18T06:00:00.000-07:00

This is on the first chapter from the blueprint, Ethics.
This post is going to be a little boring because I basically agree with him on everything in here...

Starting off, he says that he wants to increase government transparency by setting up a public website database that will dialog all lobbying reports, ethics records and campain finance reports. He also wants to create loads of other websites to log government activity that are susspost to be super user friendly and easy to find and download stuff. I am in total agreement with this. It would be a total (good) change from the current bush policy where so many things are done in private.

I personaly would use this ALOT seeing that I already use government sites like house.gov and senate.gov quite a bit. From the way he talks about it i think he would also re-design whitehouse.gov along with some others. I would love to have more websites like this!

He also wants to get all the lobbyist out of the Washington... Who dosin't... I agree with this...

Last thing in this chapter of interest is somthing he calls "sunlight before signing" bascily it says that he will not sign any "non-emergeny" bill without giving the people five days to review it comment it and debate it. Good because it gives "the people" more voice. even though it slows down all of the bills I think it's worth it. although it dosin't give us any authorty it does give us a chance to say what we think. it might turn out to be really funny, like the comment boards on youtube where everyone just hates on eachother but eather way it's a good idea.

That concludes chapter one!

Obama Series

2008-06-15T06:00:00.000-07:00

Hey,

So this is a little announcement to let you all know that all of my blogs for the next couple weeks (or possibly months) will all be about Barack Obama. I will be going through his little book that was released on his website "The Blueprint for Change". I am ONLY going to talk about stuff out of the book. You will hear nothing about Rev. Jeremiah Wright or about anything Obama has said outside of this book...

One blog per chapter

Chapters are as fallows

1. Ethics

2. Health Care

3. Economy

4. Seniors

5. Education

6. Energy

7. Fiscal

8. Rural

9. Women
(why men don't get a chapter i have no idea)
10. Immigration

11. Poverty

12. Service

13. Civil Rights

14. Foreing Policy

15. Veterans

P.S.
intend to do the same thing with John Mccain but I diecided to start with Obama because he is easyer to sum-up because he isin't as much of a two faced politician like Mccain.

P.P.S.
I'm going to post once a week on wendsdays.

Tidbit about the Genral election...

2008-06-13T06:00:00.000-07:00

This is a little exserpt from ron pauls book
"Revolution: A Manifesto

"Every election season America is presented with a series of false choices. Should we launch
preemptive wars against this country or that one? Should every American neighborhood live under this social policy or that one? Should a third of our income be taken away by an income tax or a national sales tax? The shared assumptions behind these questions, on the other hand, are never cast in doubt, or even raised. And anyone who wants to ask different questions or who suggests that the questions as framed exclude attractive, humane alternatives, is ipso facto excluded from mainstream discussion.
And so every four years we are treated to the same tired, predictable routine: two candidates with few disagreements on fundamentals pretend that they represent dramatically different philosophies of government.
The supposedly conservative candidate tells us about "waste" in government, and ticks off $10 million in frivolous pork-barrel projects that outrage him—the inevitable bridge-to-nowhere project, or a study of the effects of celery consumption on arresting memory loss—in order to elicit laughter and applause from partisan audiences. All right, so that's 0.00045 percent of the federal budget dealt with; what does he propose to do with the other 99.99955 percent, in order to return our country to living within its means? Not a word. Those same three or four silly programs will be brought up all campaign long, and that's all we'll hear about where the candidate stands on spending. But conservatives are told that they must support these candidates, and so they do, hoping for the best. And nothing changes.
Even war doesn't really distinguish the two parties from each other. Hillary Clinton and John Kerry voted for the Iraq war. With the exceptions of Dennis Kucinich and Mike Gravel, even the Democrats who postured as antiwar candidates for the 2008 primary elections are not especially opposed to needless wars. They typically have a laundry list of other military interventions they would support, none of which make any sense, would make our country any safer, or would do a thing to return our country to fiscal sanity. But liberals are told that they must support these candidates, and so they do, hoping for the best. And nothing changes."

-Ron Paul

Voting Records... The Truth Is A Scary Thing...

2008-06-11T06:00:00.000-07:00

So I was interested in obama's voting record because I wanted to know if he voted for the patriot act. I found out quickly that he was not a senator at the time. I kept looking and found that he did vote to reauthorize the patriot act.

here are my sources:

So I was going to write A huge blog on this about why I don't support America's interventionist foreign policy. Then I found this video that said everything I wanted to say to a tee and he is WAY more qualified to say it than me...
This is Michael Scheuer former head of CIA's Osama Bin Laden Unit. Listen to what he has to say about our interventionist foreign policy and why both Obama and Mcain can't fix the problem

I think I like this (first draft) more than the Final Draft of the Preamble to the U.S. constitution

"We hold these truths to be sacred & undeniable; that all men are created equal & independent, that from that equal creation they derive rights inherent & inalienable, among which are the preservation of life, & liberty, & the pursuit of happiness; that to secure these ends, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed; that whenever any form of government shall become destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, & to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles & organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety & happiness"

-Thomas Jefferson First Draft Preamble to the U.S constitution

A Quote!!!

2008-06-01T06:00:00.000-07:00

Something I think we should all think about before we support concepts like Universal Health Care

"The Idea that government has services or goods that they can pass on (to the people) is a complete farce. Governments have nothing. All they can do is steal from one group and give it to another."

WASHINGTON (AP) — Further evidence that times are tough: It now costs more than a penny to make a penny. And the cost of a nickel is more than 7½ cents.
Surging prices for copper, zinc and nickel have some in Congress trying to bring back the steel-made pennies of World War II and maybe using steel for nickels, as well.
"Copper and nickel prices have tripled since 2003 and the price of zinc has quadrupled" said Rep. Luis Gutierrez, D-Illinois, whose subcommittee oversees the U.S. Mint.

The war in Iran...

2008-05-25T21:33:00.000-07:00

Alot of Americans are concerned about a possible war in Iran. This arcticle is written about the first day of war in Iran and how it would most likely play out.

By Douglas Herman

The war began as planned. The Israeli pilots took off well before dawn and streaked across Lebanon and northern Iraq, high above Kirkuk. Flying US-made F-15 and F-16s, the Israelis separated over the mountains of western Iran, the pilots gesturing a last minute show of confidence in their mission, maintaining radio silence.

Just before the sun rose over Tehran, moments before the Muslim call to prayer, the missiles struck their targets. While US Air Force AWACS planes circled overhead--listening, watching, recording--heavy US bombers followed minutes later. Bunker-busters and mini-nukes fell on dozens of targets while Iranian anti-aircraft missiles sped skyward.

The ironically named Bushehr nuclear power plant crumbled to dust. Russian technicians and foreign nationals scurried for safety. Most did not make it.

Targets in Saghand and Yazd, all of them carefully chosen many months before by Pentagon planners, were destroyed. The uranium enrichment facility in Natanz; a heavy water plant and radioisotope facility in Arak; the Ardekan Nuclear Fuel Unit; the Uranium Conversion Facility and Nuclear Technology Center in Isfahan; were struck simultaneously by USAF and Israeli bomber groups.

The Tehran Nuclear Research Center, the Tehran Molybdenum, Iodine and Xenon Radioisotope Production Facility, the Tehran Jabr Ibn Hayan Multipurpose Laboratories, the Kalaye Electric Company in the Tehran suburbs were destroyed.

Iranian fighter jets rose in scattered groups. At least those Iranian fighter planes that had not been destroyed on the ground by swift and systematic air strikes from US and Israeli missiles. A few Iranian fighters even launched missiles, downing the occasional attacker, but American top guns quickly prevailed in the ensuing dogfights.

The Iranian air force, like the Iranian navy, never really knew what hit them. Like the slumbering US sailors at Pearl Harbor, the pre-dawn, pre-emptive attack wiped out fully half the Iranian defense forces in a matter of hours.

By mid-morning, the second and third wave of US/Israeli raiders screamed over the secondary targets. The only problem now, the surprising effectiveness of the Iranian missile defenses. The element of surprise lost, US and Israeli warplanes began to fall from the skies in considerable numbers to anti-aircraft fire.

At 7:35 AM, Tehran time, the first Iranian anti-ship missile destroyed a Panamanian oil tanker, departing from Kuwait and bound for Houston. Launched from an Iranian fighter plane, the Exocet split the ship in half and set the ship ablaze in the Strait of Hormuz. A second and third tanker followed, black smoke billowing from the broken ships before they blew up and sank. By 8:15 AM, all ship traffic on the Persian Gulf had ceased.

US Navy ships, ordered earlier into the relative safety of the Indian Ocean, south of their base in Bahrain, launched counter strikes. Waves of US fighter planes circled the burning wrecks in the bottleneck of Hormuz but the Iranian fighters had fled.

At 9 AM, Eastern Standard Time, many hours into the war, CNN reported a squadron of suicide Iranian fighter jets attacking the US Navy fleet south of Bahrain. Embedded reporters aboard the ships--sending live feeds directly to a rapt audience of Americans just awakening--reported all of the Iranian jets destroyed, but not before the enemy planes launched dozens of Exocet and Sunburn anti-ship missiles. A US aircraft carrier, cruiser and two destroyers suffered direct hits. The cruiser blew up and sank, killing 600 men. The aircraft carrier sank an hour later.

By mid-morning, every military base in Iran was partially or wholly destroyed. Sirens blared and fires blazed from hundreds of fires. Explosions rocked Tehran and the electrical power failed. The Al Jazeerah news station in Tehran took a direct hit from a satellite bomb, leveling the entire block.

At 9:15 AM, Baghdad time, the first Iranian missile struck the Green Zone. For the next thirty minutes a torrent of missiles landed on GPS coordinates carefully selected by Shiite militiamen with cell phones positioned outside the Green Zone and other permanent US bases. Although US and Israeli bomber pilots had destroyed 90% of the Iranian missiles, enough Shahabs remained to fully destroy the Green Zone, the Baghdad airport, and a US Marine base. Thousands of unsuspecting US soldiers died in the early morning barrage. Not surprisingly, CNN and Fox withheld the great number of casualties from American viewers.

By 9:30 AM, gas stations on the US east coast began to raise their prices. Slowly at first and then altogether in a panic, the prices rose. $4 a gallon, and then $5 and then $6, the prices skyrocketed. Worried motorists, rushing from work, roared into the nearest gas station, radios blaring the latest reports of the pre-emptive attack on Iran. While fistfights broke out in gas stations everywhere, the third Middle Eastern war had begun.

In Washington DC, the spin began minutes after the first missile struck its intended target. The punitive strike--not really a war said the harried White House spokesman--would further democracy and peace in the Middle East. Media pundits mostly followed the party line. By ridding Iran of weapons of mass destruction, Donald Rumsfeld declared confidently on CNN, Iran might follow in the footsteps of Iraq, and enjoy the hard won fruits of freedom.

The president scheduled a speech at 2 PM. Gas prices rose another two dollars before then. China and Japan threatened to dump US dollars. Gold rose $120 an ounce. The dollar plummeted against the Euro.

CNN reported violent, anti-American protests in Paris, London, Rome, Berlin and Dublin. Fast food franchises throughout Europe, carrying American corporate logos, were firebombed.

A violent coup toppled the pro-American Pakistan president. On the New York Stock Exchange, prices fell in a frenzy of trading--except for the major petroleum producers. A single, Iranian Shahab missile struck Tel Aviv, destroying an entire city block. Israel vowed revenge, and threatened a nuclear strike on Tehran, before a hastily called UN General Assembly in New York City eased tensions.

An orange alert in New York City suddenly reddened to a full-scale terror alarm when a package detonated on a Manhattan subway. Mayor Bloomberg declared martial law. Governor Pataki ordered the New York National Guard fully mobilized, mobilizing what few national guardsmen remained in the state.

President Bush looked shaken at 2 PM. The scroll below the TV screen reported Persian Gulf nations halting production of oil until the conflict could be resolved peacefully. Venezuelan president, Hugo Chavez, announced a freeze in oil deliveries to the US would begin immediately. Tony Blair offered to mediate peace negotiations, between the US and Israel and Iran, but was resoundingly rejected.

By 6 PM, Eastern Standard Time, gas prices had stabilized at just below $10 a gallon. A Citgo station in Texas, near Fort Sam Houston Army base, was firebombed. No one claimed responsibility. Terrorism was not ruled out.

At sunset, the call to prayer--in Tehran, Baghdad, Islamabad, Ankara, Jerusalem, Jakarta, Riyadh--sounded uncannily like the buzzing of enraged bees.
