The Classic Yuppie

I recently came across the Google project “Letters to the Next President” and I was rather shocked by the naivety that possesses our young people.  I will answer some key points in one such letter I found to “Sen. Obama and his voters”:

How can we sit by and watch our fellow Americans not get an education they deserve? Nowadays it’s hard for students to get into college. There are students working and have parents that want to help, but they still can’t afford college. Our senior year is expensive enough and we have to pay thousands of dollars to attend college the next year. The government should provide more money for grants, scholarships, and finacial aid.

Higher education in this country is not a right.  It’s a privilege.  The writer stipulates that college is difficult for you to get into.  I think that affirmative action has gone a long way in this country to ensure that doesn’t happen.  It’s called work your butt off in high school to study and get excellent grades.  Achieve your dream through action, not bitching about the next guy.  It is true that college tuitions are an exorbitant amount of money.  However, there are grants, scholarships, and student loans for this reason.  When I applied, I was actually awarded more grants and loan money that I actually needed.  I thought this was fair enough, since the cost of my books still needed to be covered.  I had no problem going to college with the tuition that was charged.

As for the schools that are not doing well they need more money to fix them up, so that the students that want to learn can get a better education.

This is a fantasy.  Our government is supposed to give a lump-sum bailout to colleges and universities that can’t take care of their own shop, but the liberals gawk at the same thing when it applied to Wallstreet.  I wasn’t in support of that either, so fair is fair.  Government-subsidized bailouts should be abolished.

The country is currently in a war with Iraq, and I truly believe it is pointless. We’ve been fighting this war for many years now, and it’s getting to the point where we don’t know what we are fighting for.

Tell that to the people who died on American Airlines flights 11 and 77, United flight 93.  You’re completely naive and your words show it.  When you can remember something so tragic and so eventful in this country’s history as this, then you deserve some credit for your thoughts.

There has to be another way we can solve this problem, especially when we have alot of our troops dying. We have 4,152 of our US soliders killed and 30,568 of them wounded. America is providing healthcare to the soliders and that’s fine.

Another way to solve this problem… hmm.  Sounds like a history lesson in order?  Have you reached the grade where they teach the Second World War?  What happened when PM Chamberlain tried to appease the fascists in Germany by given them Czechoslovakia… and the Weimar Republic… and Austria.  They finally invaded Poland in the summer of 1939 and had complete control of the country within a matter of weeks.  The fascists pushed into France and threatened the safety of Great Britain.  It was only when Great Britain started to falter that the United States stepped in.  We forced back the fascists, but in doing so we lost 416,800 men in uniform.  We entered the conflict because of another form of oversees terrorism by air - Pearl Harbor.  You didn’t see our sacrifice complained about like we have today, because it was understood the duty we needed to do.  Graduate a few classes up and learn more about American history before you open your mouth and insult the generations that have come before you, who sacrificed so much to keep your freedom intact.

Too many people are struggling, trying to get healthcare. It should be every American’s right to recieve it. For example, my cousin is a seventeen year old mother and it’s hard for her to get healthcare for her son. Since my uncle makes too much money, she can’t recieve health insurance for her son on her own. My uncle is not the one taking care of him and the hospital bills are adding up. The money get’s pulled out of his checks for them. For all the people who can’t afford healthcare, they should be able to get it. Providing healthcare to everyone will cost, but a little is better than nothing. We need to find a way to make it easier, so America can be a more healthier place.

Nothing in American law, including the Constitution or the Bill of Rights says you have the right to healthcare.  Let’s have the understood right now.  While the example you mentioned is indeed a sad story, let’s face facts:  a unwed minor who has no understanding of the world has gotten pregnant.  Who’s fault is that?  It certainly takes two to tango there, so where’s the father?  Why isn’t he being chased after to take care of this child he brought into the world?  This is a case of personal responsibility.  If you aren’t financially sound enough to bring a child into this world then you need to refrain from the very activities that create that situation.  It’s as simple as that.  State medicaid and social services are there to provide support for cases like these.  If those programs are not doing what their designed to do in your state, then you need to contact your legislators and explain to them the problems your facing and have some reforms done to the system.  Don’t say that it’s beyond your control or too difficult to too long of a wait to have change made.  If you want to talk about real change, then do something to bring it about.  People elect people all the time to office and think they’ll manage themselves.  You have to write your representatives and tell them what you want done.  If they don’t help you out, then stop re-electing them to office.  Anything less than that is just an excuse for laziness.

The money from Iraq could be used to help solve all three issues.  It’s time for a change, but we need everyone taking part in making that change.

As my father once said to me when I was very, very young and naive myself, “You don’t get on the bus and by the next stop have the answer to all the world’s problems solved.  It doesn’t work that way”.  You’re obviously a typical liberal that feels that throwing money at a problem solves it.  Guess what?  It doesn’t work that way.  Do you read the news?  Do you have any idea what’s going on at Wall Street?  The economic problems we face are a classic example of procrastination and “throwing money at the problem”.  If you venture fails, it’s ok… just throw money at the problem and it will be solved.  Sorry but that’s just naive thinking.

Desparity leads to action, action leads to solution, solution leads to achievement, achievement leads to complacency, complacency leads to denial, denial, leads to problems, problems lead to desparity.

WAKE UP AMERICA, BARACK OBAMA IS NOT YOUR ANSWER.  SELF RESTRAINT, PERSONAL ACCOUNTABILITY, AND FAITH IN YOURSELF IS.

My reasons for voting McCain/Palin:

1. Obama is a Marxist - Sen. Obama on several occasions has admitted to being a socialist and embracing the works of Karl Marx.  We cannot allow a man who is an open supporter of the father of Communism (Iron Curtain, anyone?) to become a man in charge of the most powerful army and nation in the world.  That’s just irresponsible.

2. Obama is a terrorist - Maybe not by his direct actions, but through his past affiliations with William Ayers, a domestic terrorist.  Senator Obama’s political career started with fundraisers and other events at the beckoning of Ayers.  Sen. Obama’s claim that he thought Ayers was “reformed” does not past muster.  You mean to tell me that you didn’t know about the current political orientation of someone you claim is a close political ally of yours?  You also claim to not know about the ‘damning of our nation’ by  your own minister, Jeramiah Wright.  Who’s lying to the American people now, Sen. Obama?  In late breaking news, Rashid Khalidi, a former PLO operative-turned-college professor, has also supported Sen. Obama’s bid for president.  Khalidi, former director of the PLO media agency WAFA from 1976 to 1982, while the PLO committed scores of anti-western attacks and was labeled as a terrorist organization from the State Department.  He has been quoted as calling Israel a ‘racist state’ and an ‘apartheid system in creation’.  His 1986 book Under Siege claimed that suicide bombings in the West Bank were a defense against Israeli aggression and in support of liberation in Lebanon.  Critics assailed the book as excusing Palestinian terrorism.  A man that has nothing to hide doesn’t state that he’s helping his local politician and then terminate interviews when pressed further.  He stands up for himself and his beliefs will fight to the end for what he believes is right.  When are we going to learn that this man - Sen. Obama - is nothing but a bigoted racist against Jews everywhere - the same Jewish Americans that support Democrats - and against the working class in this country.  It’s disgusting that he blatantly lies to the American people without anyone questioning his motives.  He, like anyone else in political office, is answerable to the American people.  It’s up to you to call him on it.

3. Obama is NOT a patriot - The man has never served one day in uniform and he wants to be the Chief Commander of the United States Army.  That’s repulsive.  Then again, he hasn’t been a senator much longer and he touts his political prowess.  I have a problem with people who claim to be authority figures, yet have never done a damned thing to earn my respect.  Respect is something you earn, not a patch you wear on your sleeve.  He refuses to wear the American Flag Pin on his suit jacket because he says he’s lost confidence in what it truly stands for.  If you want to become the next President of the United States and you have no confidence in the greatest symbol of your country, you have no business running for office.  How can you be ashamed of the greatest symbol of freedom this country has ever had.  She’s been walked on, flown upside down, worn as clothing, spit on, burnt, shot full of holes, run up Iwo Jima multiple and added to several time for all the stars it now bears.  AND YOU HAVE NO FAITH IN THIS SYMBOL?  You disgust me, Sen. Obama.  Might I remind you about the state you hail from.. the LAND OF LINCOLN:

President Lincoln fought for freedom and the rights of people enslaved by hatred, discrimination and people who felt that the land of the free was theirs for the pillaging.  President Lincoln was a Republican.  He felt that strict interpretation of the Constitution was the cornerstone of this country and was the platform of the people, by the people and for the people.  Obviously if the majority of Americans elected him to the White House, the agreed.  This is how the Republican party came to be known as the GOP - Grand Old Party.  It was the party of Lincoln.  The party who helped to fight the good fight and free the slaves from their oppression.  That is why they call Republican states Red States… we wave the bloody flag for of our forefathers who died to protect the liberty, sanctity and honor of this great nation of ours so that future generations of Americans will know the sacrifice and resilience of those who came before them.

You sir, Senator Obama, are no friend of this country.  To embrace Marxist beliefs goes against everything that those at Bunker Hill, Forts McHenry and Sumner, the Somme, Iwo Jima, Inchon, Cu-Chi, Afghanistan and Bagdad fought and died for.  How dare you say that this country is not the greatest nation in the world.  How dare your minister damn this country and it’s democracy.  How dare you not support our men and women in uniform who would rather die for this country then to embrace the socialist crap you guise as choices to the American people.  HOW DARE YOU!

4. Obama is not eligible for the position - Yes, you read that right, he is NOT eligible.  Lets review the qualifications to be POTUS as stated by the United States Constitution, Article 2, Section 1:

No person except a natural born citizen, or a citizen of the United States, at the time of the adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the office of President; neither shall any person be eligible to that office who shall not have attained to the age of thirty-five years, and been fourteen years a resident within the United States.

Now, what qualifies someone as a natural born citizen?  According to the 14th Amendment to the Constitution:

All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.

Now of course the Constitution was meant as a framework for the laws of our country, so we turn to Title 8 of the United States Code (U.S.C.) for the details:

I’m not saying that you’re not a US citizen, Sen. Obama, just not a natural-born citizen one under the United States Constitution.  Sorry, but that makes you ineligible.

We as Americans need to start thinking of ourselves as such and stop focusing on tags that we’re so fond of: gay, straight, black, white, male female.  WE ARE PEOPLE and as such we deserve to stand up and DEMAND HUMAN RIGHTS, not gay rights or equal rights amendments for blacks or women.  That is how the liberals are able to divide you and keep you from having any real rights or power.  Yes we have individuality, but we are all the same as Americans.  We demand HUMAN RIGHTS!  Stop trying to separate yourselves from one another.  The reason behind racism, sexism, and homophobic actions are because you make a case as to why you’re different.  I don’t care who or what you claim to be, YOU ARE A PERSON.  Treat yourself with the dignity and the pride you deserve.  Faith, kindness, love - it’s something that every man, woman and child of every faith and race can embrace.
