Hillary Clinton: Administration MVP


In response to a collegue at Chase's Chasm regarding Sec. Clinton.

I may be a very conservative person a lean very far to the right, but I helped Hillary Clinton campaign during the presidency with more class than the other candidate and I am proud to say that I helped. She may have lost the primary, but Hillary Clinton is a very extraordinary individual and deserves the respect of everyone for things that she has accomplished. Yes, how soon people do forget this.

During the time in which she tried to ‘fix’ healthcare, she was just the First Lady of the U.S. In 1993, the Clinton administration presented a healthcare reform package that Hillary had much to do with. She did not try to fix anything about healthcare. Hillary was trying to get the topic to be discussed among the government officials based off a promise that her husband made about healthcare during his campaign for president in 1992. She was not trying to fix anything, but more living up to a promise that her husband stated to the public which is more than you can say about the current president or first lady.

It is cold to say that she lets things such as violence in the Congo slides right off her back without any affect. When I first met her, she spoke to me about stories she had remembered being told by different people. She spoke with such passion about wanting to help these people and how privileged she was to meet and know the stories of every individual willing to tell it to her. She was not speaking to a mass amount of people; only to me which made me see her true character. When it comes to comments on the Congo, it is more than fair to say that she believes in every word she says. I will agree with you, though, that most politicians could not care less about a majority of what they say does affect them.

I think that her comments that this is one of the greatest atrocities currently are misinterpreted. Yes, the Holocaust and the lives lost in WWII were bad, but we are in a different time right now. Issues that are going on in the Congo should not be happening in the world today. There are more world powers than just the United States and it is huge shame that we should be the only ones astonished by the violence to the people of that region.

The people leading our country are some of the most well versed people about our history than a majority of people in the U.S. which is why they lead and not us. While some should not lead, they all try to do their best with what they know. I am not sure that any sort of commodity is reason for the sympathy of the Congo. I do not really believe that people remember how powerful and smart Hillary is. She is the most valuable part of our current administration. How soon we forget that.

Still Waiting On That 'Change' We Were Promised





Is there any way that our government would be able to get anything positive done for our country? Democrats say that it’s time for ‘change’ and that they will get stuff done from now, with the message of ‘hope’, while controlling the house, senate and the presidency. Nothing could get in the way of them succeeding on several levels, but the democrats have managed to prove me wrong and nothing is getting done. This ‘change’ was the same thing that the Republicans managed to do the past four years under President Bush. Bush was more productive than our government has been today.

What has the ‘change’ master Obama done since the start? Well, he managed to close Guantanamo Bay down, which was a very horrible decision on his part. Something that he has managed to keep out from the citizens and the rest of the world is that other prisons still exist that are the same as Guantanamo. I sincerely ‘hope’ that the prison does not close. Change? I don’t think so.

Our elected officials are spending too much time arguing what should be done instead of actually getting it done. For instance, right now we need to figure out some sort of universal health care for the U.S. This is not realistic for us to consider. The Obama administration does not know or understand the middle and lower classes. Universal health care is not possible and is a waste of time if the democrats cannot even convince the members of their own party on the idea. Change? Nope… not yet.

Out of all of this, I could say with confidence that there has been a HUGE change in the amount of money our government has spent. The $1 Trillion government spending is a big ‘change’ from the administration before this. Give them credit; the dems have changed the amount of suffering my kids will now have to suffer with their government when they reach my age.

The main point is that the government needs to look at reality on what can really be done to help our country. Leave those journalists in North Korea and let the Middle East deal with their own problems. Just give each middle eastern country a nuke and let them settle their differences. Our problems need to be fixed now or our future looks weak as a country. The democrats need to bring this ‘change’ that we heard so much of.

The only thing on ‘change’ that I am thinking about right now is that we need to ‘change’ our administration again. Let’s all ‘hope’ for the best with this really dazed and confused administration and democrat party.

That's Right...... Global Warming is Fake




Oil and Gas Don't Pollute? .... No, they don't.



Our past, present, and future U.S. senators did not get into their seats by agreeing with anything they were told. They are smart people and have the intellect to make their own opinions based off of what is best. I hardly believe that oil companies telling our senators that oil and gas do not pollute would be reason enough for them to spread it to their citizens.

The real world is a hard thing to grasp and a hard place to live in. The real world is all about profit and money. You cannot get anywhere in life without it. On the contrary, you may get somewhere ‘after’ life if you dedicate yourself to life without luxury and only good. But…….. a life without money is down near impossible in the society that we live and have grown accustomed to. Maybe in another life or time this would have been possible. Oil companies are in the real world and provide the necessities that their employees and people around the world ask for to do greater things.

Global Warming is the biggest joke with the most money behind it. There has not been a bigger joke since then, except for, maybe, the swine flu. Global warming is just another media created frenzy that grabs the attention of paranoid people that will grasp onto anything and fight to ‘reverse’ and ‘fight’ for the issue that is controlled by media. Of course, the ozone is depleting, the ice caps are disappearing, and the earth is getting hotter. Take a look back in history, maybe thousands of years back in history, and see that the earth used to be in worse conditions than now. This ‘global warming’ trend is just a continuation in of the earth’s climate. Things are bound to change and we cannot stop it. I am not saying that we are not helping push toward this change, but we are not the definite cause.
