Bush to the right the right, right right right!

When the 2004 election with the incumbant president ended with another "victory" for Bush, it was more along the lines of another victory for the Religious Right. This gave Bush another 4 years open the door for religion in the walls of the United States government. I really think it is a shame that the citizens of america have just rolled over and allowed the NeoCon Christians to take over the government. The 2008 election will mostly end this, but then it might just be causing the country to be going in a fast pendalum swing between neoconservatives and liberals. it might even cause more of a divide in America between Right and Left, and BLue and Red States

As i have mentioned before, i am afraid that the religious right will have a take over again. This terrifies me! Looking at the polls though however, it does not seem very confident that this will happen!! yay! America has finally woken up! and is finally realizing that GOD can not be President! That means God can not be the factors that a President will use to determine policy. I find it so interesting how Bush always claims to be so Christian, yet, the things that have happened during his "reign" are very diabolical!

I think its time to say Bye Bye to the Devil!

A debate at home

So i was Watching the news the other night with my family and my boyfriend. I believe it was on CBS and it was a report about the protestors who are trying to get rid of the "DONT ASK, DONT TELL" policy in the United States Military. It showed Speeches of former military commanders, and how over 12,000 people have been kicked out because oftheir sexuality.

This started a debate. Me and My sister strongly agreed with what ws being said and to get rid of that policy. however, my mom and boyfriend did not. My boyfriend happens to be a Sargent in the Army, and he has a gay brother. He is not against homosexuals at all, he just says it would be easier in the Army if you do not allow homosexuals, because the other guys/girls would not be comfortable with it and it is alot more easier to say no to one, then to change 30,000. I just think this issue is becoming more than it should be. I dont see why gays cant be in the army. They should have an equal right to serve their country, to get money for education, and health benifits.

Now I cant decide what part of the class this cartoon might fit with? Actually i think all! People wont allow gay marraige cause of their religious views , and the media is making it more possible for the country to see protests against and for this. Why is gay marriage such a controvesy? Why is Abortion such a controversy? First off, gay marriage is two peoples personal feelings for eachother. Them deciding to spend the rest of their life together, just like any other man and woman couple do. Why is it ok for the government to regulate who gets to legally declare love? I am a straight girl, in a relationship, in which i fully tend to get married one day. And i know i would be mad if there were laws telling me i couldnt marry the person i love because its against religious views. Also, if it is my body, why is it ok to allow lawmakers to propose laws based on THEIR religion? I think these are perfect examples of why religion needs to not be in government issues and lawmaking.

The Lesser Evil

As the 2008 elections come closer, as a Democrat, i am kind of scared that the Religious Right will continue again and have a candidate they support to be the Republican 2008 candidate. After looking at some research and reports, i think the lesser of all the republican evils will be Rudy Guilianni. Rudy Guilianni is actually pretty moderate, and is not really that bad of a candidate. However, as to the left depicts, the Religious Right will NOT let him become the candidate. They will try their hardest to not allow him to get the votes. After all, him supporting abortion, he must be working for the Devil! Oh no, wait, he doesn't really work for Bush!

A little more scandal

SO I couldn't resist to post this picture to go with all of the insight i left earlier about the Catholic Church Sex Scandal. I think this cartoon says it all almost though. Ive read how the American government has helped to cover it up, and how the Vatican is trying to bend over backwards to go with the US right now. The scandals however, will not be forgiven just like that, and having Uncle Sam actually in the confessional is an interesting idea.

Prayer in school

I have been reading a bit of articles related to Prayer in school. and I dont see why they would want to re introduce prayer to school. Why are people fighting so hard to get prayer back into school? prayer in school only targets Christians and leaves all other religions or athiests as outcasts. That is not suitable environment for a school.
