Nothing New From Washington

Politicians amuse me so much. Especially President Obama, anything that The President does is not going to shock me. It was announced today in Washington that the Obama Administration is dropping The Federal Marriage Act. The Act defines that a marriage is between a man and a woman.  The Obama administration is deeming it as unconstitutional because it bars the freedom of same sex marriage.

I find this a major problem because their not doing the legislative process like its supposed to. They say it is unconstitutional but their doing the same thing. They know if they leave to the legislative process, mainly Republicans, it won't be repealed. More than likely, it won't go through much process and that it will go to the President's desk to repeal the Act. In my opinion, this is not a good sign for what they are doing.

The problem is that if the states want to accept gay marriage, let them have it. The last time I checked, it was left up to the states to make these kind of decisions. With President Obama doing this, he is just going to legalize same sex marriage nationally. The churches that is also incorparated...Watch Out!! Because when it becomes legally nationally your church will have to teach a new doctrine and to accept gays into your church. Im not a homophobic, this is just pure facts.

Riots Spreading In The Middle East

Last week was a historic week for Egyptians. President Mubarak has stepped down from power to prevent another massive riot in Egypt. Last Thursday, President Mubarak announced that he would not step down until the September elections. The problem with that was the protesters would probably killed him. The next day, the protesters were shouting for joy for the end of the thirty year reign of their President.

Around the world, people were watching and inspired by the revolution Egypt had. News reports say that Iran is on the move for their own riots as well. Hundreds of riot police took the streets against the reporters. The riot police has shot tear gas against the thousands of rioters in Iran. Reports say that twenty to thirty thousand protesters were in the streets of different cities in Iran.

My opinion is that nothing is getting done over there and it's just making matters worse. The mainstream media just praises of what happened in Egypt, but were clueless of whats going to happen next in Egypt. The military is only there temporarily and the only well organized group is The Muslim Brotherhood. The Middle East is being influenced by this and thats a fact because we are seeing Iran doing the same thing. You give it a couple of months or a year and you will see Europe having massive riots. The main question is that are we seeing an American Revolution or a French Revolution?

Repealing Health Care

Ever since the health care has became law, rumors have been floating that repealing will be the best for America. Back in March 2010, when people were filing suits against the law, people from the left thought it was a Tea-Party Stunt. Just a couple of weeks ago a federal judge from Florida saw the bill as unconstitutional and must be repealed. Worries from the left now is that this is a spark that will lead to the Supreme Court.

This will probably all come down to Anthony Kennedy of The Supreme Court to decide if the the bill is unconstitutional. Anthony Kennedy's decision will be from a sophisticated analysis on one subject: The Individual Mandate. The Individual Mandate is the main recipe if the bill is law or not. About two weeks ago, The House(controlled by Republicans) won a successful vote of repealing the new health care law. Now we are just waiting for the results from the Senate.

My opinion on this is that it needs to be repealed. This is not the first time the government has made big bills come into law(Social Security,Medicare,New Deal). The problem I have is that when before it was made into law, Nancy Pelosi made a speech to the American People. She said that we need to pass the law first and then we will find out how great it is. The problem with that is, you go to an auto-dealer and he/she persuades you to buy the vehicle before you test it. Your on the road and you just realized that the engine is badly in shape and the dealer sold you a lemon. That is what our leaders did: They sold a lemon to the American public.

Stepping down from power

President Mubarak has been President for thirty years and thirty years is long enough. President Mubarak has outlasted Ronald Reagan, George Bush Sr., Bill Clinton, George Bush Jr., except Barack Obama. It has been announced today that the President of Egypt will stepping down from office in the coming fall, probably around September. President Mubarak had already told his cabinet last week to step down so he can bring in a new government for the people of Egypt. President Mubarak has also met with the President of the United States today and President Obama urged him not to run for another term.

My opinion is that people think this is the first time the citizens of Egypt has made a major riot. The last time Egypt got in a big riot was back in 1970s. It is true that this riot going on Egypt is the most astonishing in present day times. News reports have said that up to 250,000 people were in the streets rioting and that is massive. I have also been doing some research and that this riots going on in Egypt is but a de ja vu from what happened in Iran in the 1970s. Before I get into Iran is that what happens if the President steps down in September and were no longer their ally?

Iran was having the same trouble back in the 1970s over authoritarian rule of their President. Back then Iran was one of our biggest allies in the world and their were throwing riots to bring in a new government. After the rioting settled a new President and a new government was brought to the country of Iran which led to the Muslim State of Iran. Why I say this is that their is a group of Muslim organizations that is promiting this riots going on in Egypt. In the United States we are seeing Communist and Socialist organizations promoting Egypt and Tunisia as well. They see this as a perfect chance because Karl Marx once said: "Democracy is the road to Socialism."
