Political Rampage #2
Here we go again fellas. Another chance to ramble on about our government's flaws. I'm excited, how about you? :D
Okay, so this time I'm going to talk about the "war" in Iraq. Actually the war against world terrorism, mostly focused in the middle eastern countries(Iraq especially), the war in Iraq has been a long and drug out plan to retake the countries of Iraq and Iran from the rule of terrorist cells. I read an article somewhere that spoke of Congress' main objectives in the war. I believe there were 9 main objectives, but there could have been as many as 13...no matter. There was a set number of goals our government had laid out to be accomplished and after so many years, there hasn't been any results. I'm not sure who is at fault for our lack of progress, but I know for a fact that it is not our military leaders, it is, however, those whom they take orders from. Our military is one of the most highly trained in the world, and is armed with the most advanced weapons known to mankind. The guns are fine, the soldiers are trained...it must be the guys telling them what and when to open fire. Our leaders are not the brightest people in the art of warfare, because we could have had this war over and done with years ago. Now, however, we have a new leader who will step in fairly quickly and will most likely fuck everything up. We went there for a reason, we had a set number of reasons and goals to accomplish. Did we get the job done(all goals achieved)? Not yet...so why the hell should we pull out?! When you get in bed, you don't get out until the job is done, eh pops?
I've got an opinion on what will happen if we get out of Dodge. I think that once we get out, the governments we fought for to regain control will not yet be stable enough to support themselves from future attacks, and they will be overtaken, and now we will have another foe on our hands. Plus, who's to say that once we get all the terrorists and whatnot out of the land, that they won't just come back to reclaim what they say is rightfully theirs, eh? I think it's nothing but more trouble if we get out. I say stay in and get it done. Don't fuck it up either.

Colleague Critic: Numero Uno
Well said my friend. Hypocrisy is a problem no matter where it is, and here is where it's worst. Even in our everyday lives we meet people who are ignorant and are hypocrites because their actions do not follow their words, and if you can imagine what sort of problem this will cause if we have hypocrites running our country, holy shit, man. Game over. We're screwed.
First off, I'd like to point out a couple flaws I have seen in people's ideology in voting for Sen. Obama. For one, few people I've asked mentioned that they would like to see a black man as president, so they voted for him(I'm assuming since they said they would). Another couple reasons some say they voted for Obama is because he seems like a nice guy, he knows what he's talking about(which is absurd to say; maybe everything he says is total BS, who knows?), he's younger; the list goes on. Basically, everything that I've heard outside of factuall evidence backing their decision, is so dumb, it's amazing. Why in the hell would you vote for a man to run our country because of his race or age, or better yet, because he speaks better?! The point of our elections is to place the better man in position. Obviously, our forefathers did not foresee the American public as being so politically retarded that we vote like children in a candy store, "Ooh, that one looks nice, I'll take it. :D"
Many of the poeple I asked who they were voting for, or who they did vote for, they were hypocrits, and I honestly wanted to bitch slap each and every one of them. Whether or not my arguements were correct, I strongly suggested that they base their decision on the possible futures between the two. My arguement against Obama was about the second economic stimulus package. I said hell no to it, becuase more money given to me now means more money I have to pay back. TINSTAAFL. If you know what this phrase means then I applaud you. If you don't know the phrase in its abbreviated form, here it is. "There is no such thing as a free lunch." Live by it.
