Reading Zelda's blog, Sleeping Ugly, directed me to her political site. It reminded me that I should pay attention to what's in the news. We all know that each media outlet has it's own biases. So, I'm going to post links for the ones that grabbed my attention.
*Note: I split up the posts and each article has it's very own. I see this as making it easier to see which news article you want, and commenting on it specifically if you should wish. I am also going to change the time on this so it appears above the news articles. The budget post will take quite some time for me to get an informed opinion. I feel that before I pass judgement I should know what each program is for and why he thinks it should be axed. I don't agree with very much of what Bush does, but it's only fair. If I expect you to give me respect it must be returned. Even to someone who does not seem, to me, to merit it. Also, let's all remember that the President passes no laws on his own. He cannot invade a country for more than 14(I think) days all by his lonesome. Our system is one of checks and balances. It is the truth when I say that no president can possibly pass any law that he promised in his campaign sheet. Congress introduces and writes bills to be passed into law. In that sense the president can only veto or sign it. Congress can then pass it anyway. Lets all get a very real sense of what the president actually can do by his little ole self before we start accusing him of not keeping promises. Hell, you should have known that before the elections. This lesson is basic Civics. I learned it in 7th grade. Pssst, You do KNOW we don't actually vote our president into office right?, The electoral college does. If you want to know more about that go to CSPAN. They had a special on it before the elections, I'm sure there's some information about it on the page.*
That's it for now. I haven't read all the links I posted. Kids are wanting attention. Research must wait until bedtime. Anything said here is my opinion. I have not had time to research properly. When I do, it will be either a new post or updates to this one. These are what caught my eye. I will endeavor to post anything on the Yahoo News Site that catches my attention. and give my opinion. You are welcome to post your own opinion in the comments section. However there are rules. I respect your opinion, therefore I expect you to respect mine. Hatred and you're wrong will not persuade me to change my opinion. Anything nasty or threatening will be forwarded the the 'crew' at the hatemail site you see at the top of my page. If you wish to voice your opinion and attmept to change my mind, feel free. I always welcome a differing point of view. Always give reasons and facts to back up you opinion, unless you wish it to be taken as only your opinion with no supporting facts. That is what I have done here. My opinion with no supporting facts, yet. I have said so. I expect you to do the same.
Thanx. |
