| 17 year olds and primaries Let me start by saying no. I am 17, I know lots of other 17 year olds and I don't want to see a single one of them voting; what a mess that would be. The legislature wants to pass a bill allowing these ignorant teens to vote in primaries if they are going to be 18 by the time of the general election. In theory this is almost a good idea, but in practice the only thing that this would accomplish is allowing the media to have more votes. Face it, young America is nowhere near as politically involved as they should be, even older, voting Americans don't always fully understand what it is exactly they are voting on. These people are media pawns, they turn on CBS, NBC, etc. and they go ahead and run with whatever these media superpowers tell them is correct. Until these kids can form their own ideas and validate them by means of tangible evidence as to why they feel a certain way giving them a say a little while earlier is really rather ridiculous.

| I think today I would like to start with the not so controversial Rev. Wright. Sen. Barack Obama's pastor says blacks should not sing "God Bless America" but "God damn America." now really, where is the controversy here? Can someone find it please? It is plain and simple, written out conveniently for you to see that he is a very hateful man. How is it a presidential hopeful such as Barack Obama is still surviving as a viable candidate after his pastors deplorable remarks about almost everyone? This is a subject that I find to be especially odd when the ACLU found the time to turn Christmas into a controversy. Imagine that, a religious practice that in America is usually portrayed through a jolly fat man in a red suit is more offensive to people than a man who is preaching everyday about how horrible everyone is except for his own people. If nothing else this man is most certainly extraordinarily racist. Believe it or not it gets even better. This man had the audacity to call the attacks of 9/11 Karma.
"We bombed Hiroshima, we bombed Nagasaki, and we nuked far more than
the thousands in New York and the Pentagon, and we never batted an
eye," Rev. Wright said in a sermon on Sept. 16, 2001.
"We have supported state terrorism against the Palestinians and
black South Africans, and now we are indignant because the stuff we
have done overseas is now brought right back to our own front yards.
America's chickens are coming home to roost," he told his congregation.
Oh yes, he went there. Now if you read this ever at all you know how much i detest those who are conspiracy theorists and the "America had it coming" crowd. Lets start with Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the code of Bushido was a religion and code of war which the Japanese fought and lived by during WW2. Broken down into plain and simple pieces this code meant do as the emporer says he is the reincarnation of god and under no circumstances are you to be captured during war for it is far more honorable to die. The Japanese fighters would kill you or die trying, as with radical Islamic terrorists talking was not an option. What is this never batted and eye rubbish, it is not as though someone in the war department woke up one morning and pushed a big red button after throwing a few darts at a map and decided that on that day they were to be blown up.
As for the Palestinians and other middle eastern nations I would like to take this chance to thank Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton for their ever so helpful appeasement policies that destroyed relations between the US and Middle East. Especially Jimmy Carter, why we even still give him press time is beyond me. That will be another post another day though.
I would never wish upon anyone the kind of pain that comes with losing a loved one to a tragedy such as 9/11 but wow I wish this man could begin to comprehend or even had the decency to respect those who can comprehend or did go through the kind of pain that came with 9/11.

| Illegals in AmericaNow before anyone even starts with telling me im racist, when I say illegal i don't really care at all where your from or what color you are, I don't like you.
See heres how it is, why is it some people feel as though they don't have to follow our border laws and have this crazy idea that they can come here illegally and then get handouts? who made this up? I don't care who you are, what you did, where you came from, if you want to live in America you can come over here legally just like the rest of us.
I've heard some people argue thats its just too hard to come here legally, but isnt that the point, so that the bad people get weeded out. You know if the american dream is so great why dont you feel you need to work for it the same way our ancestors did. It is in fact completely possible. My family can do it, in fact they did. My great-great-grandmother was sent back to Italy because she was sick. My great-grandfather died leaving his wife and 8 children to fend for themselves. Y ou wanna know what they did; they worked. The kids all got jobs, moving from house to house, continuing to be respectable. The boys all served in Korea/ww2. Two went on to become a doctor and a lawyer. They all opened a brass mill together that is still open today. All that is without government handouts like welfare that people get today, and you have the audacity to say its too hard?
Anchor babies are no good either. The constitution needs to be amended so that only babies born of people here legally can have citizenship, because now mama stays and has 6 more kids and begins collecting a check for each of them.
Welfares only use should be to people who want to but are physically unable to work and earn money. It should never be given to illegals. And we certainly should not provide financial aide to illegals when citizens are struggling.
And then theres the they do work americans wont do argument. Well seriously Americans wont do those jobs because the pay is less than minimum wage. If you paid an American citizen what they deserve for the job, they will do it, its just that there is so much cheap labor running around and taking jobs from citizens.

| Boy am I ever gonna catch hell for this one.Racism, walk with me a minute please.
Racism ever towards anyone is always wrong we are all equal and that is my standpoint, the media however pushes equality aside for stories.
Why is it the only people ever portrayed as being racist are white? Is it not possible for africans to be racist as well.
I think over the last year or so some of the most racist things ive heard have all come out of african american mouths. Rev. Wright Al sharpton jesse jackson. now im not saying white people arent racist but seriously so are the black people. c'mon admit it please, none of us are perfect but we are all equal and that means we are all capable of racism towards each other. I think im going to stop here, leave me some opinions and il get back to you.

| I think im just going to go ahead and flip flop all over the board today. I am experiancing a plethe Barack, oh how i detest thee. So let me get this straight; this man hates america, and the only new idea he can present is....... CHANGE!!!!!!!
YAAAAAY
Problem, no matter who gets elected there will be change, so I'm going to tear down this hero and say , get a better platform. I've yet to speak with anyone who can tell me what Mr. O is gonna do other than "change".
The man hates this country, do we really want a president that hates his country. Sounds a little off par to me. He wont say the pledge or wear a flag lapel. and under god appear to not be in his vocabulary. Something just doesnt strike me right about this guy.
Hilliary Clinton, my favorite commy. OK so lets be real here for a minute, push aside all political associations, listen to her for a minute, then yell komrad with me. Hill is a communist, she likes socialism which would be a pretty word for communism
Now let me divulge a bit into why communism doesnt work. Though the utopian idea of a completely equal society is amazing. It will never work, not until people are perfect. You loose initiative in such a society and without everyone having that drive no one will work the way they should and society will crumble. If your doctor gets paid the same as your garbage man he will more than likely become jaded and not work and seeing as we are communist he could stay home or completely slack off and still get the same paycheck while people lay in his hospital sick, sound good? Dont think so.
hmmm, i think thats all for now. Some angry comments I can argue with would be nice. I welcome your discussion.
Just as a note, i dont like MCain either but before i really get into ragging on him I need to get more into his politics.
