abortion ?
May 4, 2008
Well, in order to fully decide if you support abortion, you need to know what exactly it is? Wikipedia’s definition seems to dumb the process down for the average American- “An abortion is the removal or expulsion of an embryo or fetus from the uterus, resulting in or caused by its death. “
The topic of abortion is met with a ton of controversy- Morals or Freedom. Is it okay to murder a being? Should women be in control of their body? Abortion is one of the issues that cannot really have a compromise. At first, I was against the concept for the most part. However, I believed that victims of rape should have the decision to terminate their pregnancies. If there was CONSENT, women should not have that decision. They need to face the consequences of their actions. In life, one cannot run away from his or her problems. YOU CAN’T KILL THEM EITHER. While looking through an image to begin this post, I came across pictures of fetuses and embryos that were dead because of an abortion. I WAS SICKENED. I could not believe that THAT was an abortion. It is murder. I am not so sure anymore if rape victims should have that right. I mean, there are adoption agencies. To cope with the pain of the rape, the governement can provide counselling.
After all, isn’t murder frowned upon by God?

The Wright Effect- is he ruining Obama?
May 4, 2008
Two wrongs don’t make a right, but for Barack Obama a second chance to deal with the radical ranting of his preacher may put his suddenly
Just a few months ago, Barack Obama was on the top of the Democatic Standing. Hilary Clinton was firing campaign managers like Donald Trump on the Apprentice. But then, a man named Jeremiah Wright had risen, creating a calamity for Obama His fierce words and anti-american spirit are only doing Obama harm and thus, benefitting Clinton. Like a fierce animal seeing his prey vulnerable, she attacks, over and over again.
At first, Barack Obama contested that he can no more disavow his Reverend like his white grandmother. A few vitrolic sermons later, Obama distanced himself from Rev. Wright and made it clear that he disapproved what Wright said. After all, what was he supposed to do? Just stand by the man who was un-American. Oh, that would surely gain him the Democrat nominee. However, at the end of the day, the damage has been done. && it has certainly hurt the Illinois senator.
The question is: is it over for Barack?

save darfur- it’s time to do something for someone else.

why we need to end the conflict in darfur
after the holocaust, the world made a promise that never again will we let such an atrocity occur. well, it did. on our watch. rwanda as well as hundreds of other genocides did. we cannot be bystanders to this. hundreds of thousands have died since the start of the darfur massacre. millions have been displaced because their homes have been burnt down. countless women and children have been raped. we are basically murderers for allowing this to happen. as priviledged people, we have the power to change the situation in Sudan. America claims to be a nation that helps other countries. Look at Iraq. We supposedly went to Iraq to establish a more strong government for the country’s citzens. But, it has forced me to believe that we are actually selfish in the way we try to be selfless. Many believe the only reason why we decided to help Iraq is to reap the benefits of the hard labor- in other words OIL! Why is it that the UN can’t seem to live up to its original mission? Why are they cutting food aid to refugees in half? We need to take a stand.
&& its possible to save them if together we work<3

flds – my thoughts
April 26, 2008
So, recently, there has been a lot of buzz, controversy, and sickening details into this Texas sect that many consider a cult. One of the problems is the polygamy issue. Why do these men feel the need to marry more than one wife. It is disgusting and unfair to the women. This can result in a pandemic of sexually transmitted diseases. What is even worse and makes you want to cry is that many of these wives are teenagers, children, young women, that have barely been broken into society. As soon as they hit puberty, they are forced to marry old men! These girls miss out on their childhood. They are meant to be baby-making machines. && the only way for them to be accepted is to “please their husbands and cater to their needs and wants.” How is this in any way just? It makes me sick in my stomach to watch the invasion into the cults. I just get this sick feeling. The worst part is, the people are shut behind gates. Like animals at a zoo, they go through their daily lives, not quite knowing what lies outside their gated community. No freedom. Can you imagine that?
This religion, sought out acceptance from God. Everything they have done, they have done in the name of God. But really, is this what God wanted? I highly doubt that.

gay marriage
April 21, 2008
Gay Marriage. It is a controversial topic, no doubt. A great deal of the population is totally against and disgusted by the thought of two members of the same gender joining together in matrimony, while another large portion support the idea of a civil union. A civil union is, in simpleton terms, a signed commitment that the two persons will be living together. Though it is considered to have the same rights as a marriage, others argue that it’s the principal behind it. They want equal rights. And how do the Presidential candidates feel about this?Obama, the Senator of Illinois, has supported equal rights for gay men, but has opposed gay marriage. Hilary Clinton, Senator of New York, has voted against the amendment that would allow gay marriage if passed. She also supports a civil union. And McCain? Well, he’s been flip flopping on this issue like John Kerry was back in 2004. He keeps switching his position back and forth on whether or not gay people should have the same rights as straight men and women. How do I feel about this? it’s a tough topic, but i fully support them for now. Straight, but not narrow.
