After studying the transcript and watching the debate itself this becomes more evident during analysis. As I studied each of the candidate’s responses, I did so as objectively as possible. Unlike many of the media outlets, I will claim there is a slight right leaning bias in my analysis. Simply because of human nature, it is difficult if not impossible to act with complete objectivity.

On Libya:
Vice President Biden, despite skirting the first question (which in itself was a question that insinuated the answer to the American people), finally answered Raddatz on the Libya fiasco. In his response, Vice President Biden threw the intelligence community under the bus. Unfortunately, any findings made by Congressional oversight committee, Federal Law Enforcement, or other entities will be classified. Therefore, we will not be able to determine the truth, if ever, until after November 6th. However looking at the information available, it appears the Vice President lied to the American people.

Congressman Ryan provided a good answer on Governor Romney’s initial response to the Libya tragedy. However, to be honest his responses to the withdrawal from Iraq, and proposed timeline for withdrawal from Afghanistan were more strategically oriented. In regards to Afghanistan, under no circumstances should any policy provide a withdrawal deadline while active combatants are engaging our forces (Notwithstanding surrender). Yet his comment about leaving a 30,000 member contingency force in Iraq did not settle well with some independent voters. I agree wholeheartedly with Congressman Ryan’s statement on Iraq, but will not elaborate due to its complex nature.

On the Islamic Republic of Iran:
Vice President Biden made on mistake, in my opinion an extremely serious one. The Vice President said

“But number two, the Iranians are — the Israelis and the United States, our military and intelligence communities are absolutely the same exact place in terms of how close — how close the Iranians are to getting a nuclear weapon. They are a good way away. There is no difference between our view and theirs”

Based on Benjamin Netanyahu’s address to the United Nations general assembly, it is safe to assume that the United States government and the Israeli government are absolutely not in exactly the same place of how close the Iranians are to a nuclear weapon. Nor it is feasible that they do not have a means to deliver a nuclear weapon to Western Europe or Israel. Furthermore, it is difficult to accept that we will know when the Iranians have a delivery system or are construction one. Futhermore, ICBMs are not the only means of delivering a nuclear devices. This is a foolish argument to provide to the American people. This argument does not address the world with a nuclear arms race in the Middle East. (Nor does it address the implications of a nuclear detonation in an allied nation).

In contrast Congressman Ryan made, although not the most articulate or eloquent case,it would be difficult with someone cackling at you none stop. Nonetheless, it was based on sound policy towards Iran. Moreover, it is based on a fundamental understanding of what exactly a nuclear armed Iran is to the world.

On the U.S. Economy:
Substantively, Congressman Ryan won this hands down. This should be no surprise to anyone. To even argue that the current economic policy has provided fruitful results is folly. Therefore I will not go into great detail on the substance of each side of the arguments.

However, when speaking on the stimulus bill, Vice President Biden scored a small victory. Calling out Congressman Ryan’s request for stimulus money for his constituents was a move we all saw coming. Unfortunately for Ryan this is a fact that is difficult to refute. During a debate, it is not the time to differentiate between a trustee and an instructed delegate. That, is what I think Congressman Ryan was attempted to argue, but was not afforded the opportunity.

On Social Security and Medicare:
Again Congressman Ryan won this despite, ridiculous arguments by the Vice President. It was particularly effective, and much to his credit, Congressman Ryan argued the reality that if Medicare and Social Security are not fixed now, it will be unsustainable later. Furthermore he reiterated that 716 billion dollars was taken from Medicare to fund Obamacare. Although, I feel it could have been better delivered, nonetheless the substance and truth was there. With all honesty, I fell that Congressman Ryan’s message resonated with senior citizens. They, as most Americans (I hope) understand the unsustainability of our entitlement programs.

On Taxes:
As expected class warfare was used to pit one segment of society against the other at least in theory. This will not work for independent voters. Throughout the debate, a very negative and combative attitude from the Vice President was established. Ryan again made some very substantive and true arguments to, as many in the left like to say “snake oil” that Vice President Biden was spewing.

I would love to write more on this debate, but to be perfectly honest after listening to it twice and reading it several times, I just cannot stomach how the Vice President of the United States was acting, and the rhetoric he was providing. I can only take so much. However I do standby my assumption that once the effects of the Vice Presidents demeanor and actions subsides, we will see an 8-12% victory for Congressman Ryan.

With the economy in such a disastrous state, it is understood that to the average voter, foreign affairs takes a back seat to the economy. However, the lack of any reasonable foreign policy, the Obama administration has left the United States in a very vulnerable state.

As anyone can understand, we lack no enemies in the United States and abroad. If it were not for the diligence of our military, law enforcement, and intelligence services our peaceful way of life, would know no peace. Yet, how long with this last if the current administration is allowed 4 more years of power?

First, and foremost the administration in their intelligence leaks over the years have damaged relations with allied intelligence service. This is particularly dangerous. Our intelligence services are limited in the amount of quality intelligence they can gather. The administrations apparent dismissal of the Israelis is notable in this respect. The Israelis are probably best at human intelligence gathering in the Middle-East. Will the Israelis and other allies continue to share intelligence under a second Obama administration? It would be foolish to think the same level of intelligence sharing would continue. Lacking sound intelligence equates directly to an increased chance of an attack on our homeland.

However, this is not the only problem created by the current administration. All of the drone attacks in the world cannot counter the effects of an appeasement base policy towards violent extremists. Appeasement only provides our adversaries renewed and bolstered aggressions against our nation and its people. Our enemies see an economically weakened nation and an even weaker President. This does not just include non-state sponsored terrorist organizations, but nations who seek nothing more than our destruction such as Iran captialize on this. In addition, nations such as Russia, China, Venezuela, and others see this as an opportunity to grab influence and power that we have lost.

Perhaps, one of the most disheartening elements is this administration’s view on the world. All but ignoring the intelligence provided to the prior to the Benghazi terrorist attack, what else has this administration ignored? We are nearing an Iranian nuclear era. Syrian chemical weapons are less and less secure. Egypt has all but embraced the calling for the destruction of Israel. Hezbollah moves freely in Lebanon. Iranian weaponry is moving freely via Iraq to Syria. Al-Qaida is moving its operations to Northern Africa. Because of the failed policies of Western Europe, N.A.T.O. is (not much has changed) on the brink of collapse (due to the financial disarray most European nations are in). In Afghanistan the Taliban are gaining more and more power. My fellow Americans, I hate to admit it, but our enemies are laughing at us, while our Allies sit with their head in their hands. This must change. The survival of our nation rests with this election. To quote Governor W. M. Romney: “…that unique blend of optimism, humility and the utter confidence that when the world needs someone to do the really big stuff, you need an American”.

Our nation is in great danger, as you all well know. However, I think it is imperative that we communicate; the economic quagmire this president has put us in is only the tip of the iceberg. There is a trend over the last twenty years against our nation, of both state sponsored and non-state sponsored terrorism. Not only do we as a nation,have to consider traditional military threats. We must also remember the threat that all of us realized on September 11, 2001. It gains more and more power each time this and any administration shows weakness and naivety. When our enemies see this it places the American people in jeopardy. Take the time to read over this list, it is merely a fraction of attacks or attempted attacks since 1993. Although many of these attacks were “home grown” terrorists, is it not feasible that given our current national security state… focused, trained, financed, dedicated, ideologically driven individuals can assault this nation when we are most vulnerable? Yes, but what do we have instead? Attack adds using Big Bird.

I could have gone into greater detail in the post, bolstered with research, and about 100 times more information… but due to limitations on time….and the fact I would probably bore everyone to tears…this will have to do.

Is the U.S. of A, not the single greatest country on God’s green earth? Despite some of the best efforts of hardcore leftist to turn the United States of America, into the United Socialist States of America (USSA), freedom still endures.

Here in Texas those who believe in limited government, fiscal responsibility, the importance of the individual and individual freedom, free market economy, the Constitution, and the American dream put our beliefs into our votes for Ted Cruz.

This week I have exercised my individual freedoms with great compassion. Let us take a look at my plans for the next week and see how it would make the left squirm.

I voted for a constitutional conservative, who beat an establishment moderate RINO republican. I ate at chick-fil-a twice. I’m going to exercise my 2nd amendment right and take my firearms to the range. I’m going to buy an “assault rifle” (that ridiculous terminology is for a post a later time), and some high capacity magazines just for the mere fact it is my right as an American citizen. I’m going to Las Vegas, because of course President Obama thinks there is better things we as Americans could spend our money on, like higher taxes. I’m going to write my U.S. representative. I’m going to donate to the Catholic Church (although I’m not catholic I do support their fight for freedom of religion). I’m participating in free speech as we speak. I’m going to eat at chick-fil-a again. I’m going to spend my money at small businesses who build their wealth from the ground up. I’m going to congratulate my friends who are “rich” for living the American dream.

I could go on and on, but you all understand the point I’m making. These and many other things are what the left hates with a passion. Therefore I take it upon myself to partake in them as often as I can. Many people have a defeatist attitude with the direction of our great nation. It is understandable. However we must remain optimistic, aggressive, and focused. These socialist nincompoops can be defeated. In the meantime, let us keep up the fight, as we did in Texas. Not just once President Obama is voted out of office (and other leftists from congress) but for years to come.

I’d like to also thank each and everyone of you for any and everything you do to further the conservative cause. It gives me hope in our society, that there is still a majority of Americans with an understanding of what our nation stands for. So to all my fellow Americans and conservatives, God bless the U.S.A.!

“There are a lot of wealthy, successful Americans who agree with me, because they want to give something back. They know they didn’t -look, if you’ve been successful, you didn’t get there on your own. You didn’t get there on your own. I’m always struck by people who think, well, it must be because I was just so smart. There are a lot of smart people out there. It must be because I worked harder than everybody else. Let me tell you something – there are a whole bunch of hardworking people out there.

If you were successful, somebody along the line gave you some help. There was a great teacher somewhere in your life. Somebody helped to create this unbelievable American system that we have that allowed you to thrive. Somebody invested in roads and bridges. If you’ve got a business. you didn’t build that. Somebody else made that happen…”

So we should examine this particular quote. First, Mr. President, there are a lot of wealthy successful Americans who do give back and not in the form of increased tax burdens. These wealthy Americans participate in the free market. They create wealth not only for themselves but those whom they employ. They create wealth. The government cannot create wealth directly or indirectly. The only possible way a government can assist in the creation of wealth, is by creating an environment that fosters success. This is accomplished is by limited regulations, taxations, and interferences amoung other things.

And yes, many successful people did not get there “on their own” as President Obama told us. However, the help they had was others participating in the free market. The successful individuals in our nation did so by buying goods and services from one another creating wealth, employment opportunities, and all the things associated with wealth. These successful individuals took risks in order to possibly obtain a greater financial reward. The successful business owner is not only intelligent, they are hardworking, goal oriented, business savvy, and creative.

Yes many successful companies, such as Staples, did have help from companies such as Bain Capital. There are small businesses that have had help from the local communities purchasing their goods or services. They had help with small business loans from private financial institutions. And yes there are some good teachers who teach free market economies, individual liberty, and instill a foundation of basic knowledge to take the risk of business ownership. However there are many teachers that prefer to teach their students about broken socialist systems, welfare states, and instill in their students a false narrative that has been proven over time the be in fact false.

How much longer will we allow President Obama to spew this vile and false rhetoric? I for one will continue to argue the principals that made this nation a military, cultural, economic, and unrivaled superpower. In other words, the exact opposite of what President Obama tells the nation on every given opportunity.

It is not that hard to legislate with some measure of conviction…  In June of 2005, I was in Al Anbar province Iraq fighting an insurgency with a Marine infantry unit.  Although I left the ranks of the Marine Corps in 2001, did not agree with the war itself, I decided it was my duty based on my principles and convictions to rejoin and go to war.  While in Iraq I served with some of the finest men this nation has to offer. Each man, consequences be damned, put his life on the line and did his duty.  So many men and women lost their lives because they believed in standing up for their principles to make this nation a better place.  So many men and  women are now permanently disabled because their convictions drove them to serve the betterment of the nation.  So many men and women live the nightmares of war day in and day out, because they believed in all that was great about the United States of America.  Many of our brothers and sisters were willing to face a horrific violent death for the prosperity America and her people.

Is it so hard to do the right thing and risk not being reelected or being shunned by a political party?  In the end we the people are not asking you to risk your life legislating.  No one can expect a perfect record for anyone elected into office.  Yet, I find more of the actions by politicians and political appointees lacking any form of conviction or
principles.  Are we the people asking too much for a balanced budget?  Is it asking too much to have representatives in the Senate and House that actually do what is best for the nation, not their party, is it such a difficult task?  Is it too much for us to expect some measure of urgency and duty to the nation?  Our men and women in uniform do it day in and day out.

I rarely speak of my time in Iraq.  But looking at the sacrifices so many have made through the centuries for our nation, I find it disgusting the state our nation is in and the general complacency among many elected officials.  They would rather talk about birth control, LBGT  rights, and everyone doing their fair share, having a fair shot, and all that other malarkey.  I wish there was more that I could do to help our nation that is in rapid decline.  I would run for office to make a difference, though I hardly feel as though I am the caliber, intellectually at least, to do so.  That is when I realized, my hope rests with all of you, my fellow Americans. We are the solution to what ails America.  Too much focus is placed on government as the solution and problem. We the American people that still have the right convictions and principles are still the majority.  If we can only  continue to unite in a single cause then maybe, just maybe, we have a shot at reforming Washington D.C. and putting more individuals that stand up for what is right, consequences be damned.

I know that most of my posts are lacking in factual information and mostly encompass a more philosopical perspective. I sincerely wish that I had more time to research and post more relevant subjects, but right now I have little time for that. As I have more time free up I hope to have a little better quality posts for you all to read.

http://cnsnews.com/news/article/sen-cornyn-tells-holder-resign

This may be nothing more than empty words.  However, it is refreshing to see my senator at least pushing for Attorney General Eric Holder’s resignation.  Reading the article, Holder’s responce was sickening.

“I don’t have any intention of resigning,” Holder said. “I heard the White House press officer say yesterday that the president has absolute confidence in me. I don’t have any reason to believe that that is not the case.”

Well Mr. Holder what about the American people?  Do we have any confidence in your abilities?  You work for us do remember?  Of coarse you do not, you in the end know what is best for us.

What would have happened to a business owner that refused to provide 100,000 subpoenaed documents in regards to their operations?  Yet that is exactly what Holder’s Department of Justice did.  I will be “shocked” when we learn that documents relating to fast and furious were destroyed in “error”.

I plan to vigorously encourage all republican Senators and Representatives to continue pressing the accountability of the Department of Justice under Eric Holder.  They must continue to bring the corruption in the Department of Justice under Eric Holder in the public light.

The far left in their typical fashion continues the argument of class warfare. The communist manifesto theorizes of an epic struggle between the proletariat and bourgeoisie, where the working class proletariat are in constant struggle with the ruling class- bourgeoisie. This theory of communism, socialism, and the like has been disproven throughout modern history. As we see currently this is made evident in our times by the governments of Western Europe. Yet, President Obama continues his rhetorical arguments for what is nothing more than socialism. President Obama, quite poorly argues on each opportunity that may arise, for his socialist prerogative. This same false rhetoric is repeated by leftist and even some moderate democrats time and time again.

Yet, if viewed objectively the argument for socialism is quite ridiculous. In particular, if it is compared to some of the United States founding principles. The basic argument for any socialist model of government is to redistribute wealth. It is understood that without wealth that has been previously created this objective cannot be accomplished. Once wealth has been or is continually being redistributed the amount of wealth to be distributed stagnates. Destroying wealth creators will destroy them and those whom reap the benefits of redistributive wealth. Once wealth is no longer created it likewise is no longer available to redistribute. When this occurs, despotism and despair is all that is left of socialist societies.

Philosophically, the goal of socialism is exactly what? Socialism is a mechanism to secure wealth for those whom are “deemed” disadvantaged and unable to leave the ranks of the “proletariat”, by theft from others. Socialism is best described by President Obama in a June 8, 2012 private fund raiser in Los Angeles, California.

“And so we came together to affirm and assert that we were going to restore that basic sense that in America, everybody gets a fair shot and everybody does their fair share and everybody plays by the same set of rules.”

(Translated into the truth, we will force everyone to be exactly the same in every aspect unless we deem you worthy to be included in our ruling or privileged classes, defeating the entire rational for socialism.)

Socialism may have been a logical application to serfdom but not in our wonderful form of government when properly applied. The American founders, knowingly or unknowingly, addressed this “inequality” problem socialism attempts to rectify. Socialism in the end merely secures wealth for individuals, as stated before, by theft. A constitutional republic ensures that an individual is secure in their property, liberty, and life. Not through means of redistribution though unwarranted acquisition via government or unlawfully by other individuals. Quite the contrary, our constitutional republic ensures the labor and wealth of the individual, which was amassed through legitimate means, is secured to the individual.

I tire of comments President Obama and other leftist spew out in regards to the conservative thinking. Comments such as this, again made in his private fund raiser, on the 8th of June. “It says if you were a child born into poverty; pull pull yourself up by your own bootstraps — even if you don’t have boots.” (No that’s not a typo)

I hate to sound arrogant but, I was born into borderline poverty. My parents, through hard work kept us above that “poverty line”. Faced with no ability to pay for a college education, I entered the U.S. Marines as a private making 900 dollars a month. 15 years later, after ten years in the Marines, and now I am living well. I am providing a better life than I had for my children. This was not due to a helping hand from the government (other than the chance to enlist). My wealth is the fruit of my own labor. The sense that I have of personal responsibility, work ethic, duty, and rugged individualism was directly responsible for my success. Not from the labor of someone else.

It would be wise of Mr. Romney to speak of this more. The overwhelming majority of Americans have a thirst for this. It has been lacking in our collective society for too many years. Not simply to speak of it, but to have it reflected in their actions. To aggressively attack the socialist movement, with sound arguments for a constitutional republic. Our arguments, viewed both subjectively and objectively, (which I hope the vast majority of Americans can still differentiate the two) can only be countered with vain emotional arguments, divisive conduct, and class warfare. I pray the nation’s people can see through the left’s baseless and logically devoid arguments.

Please be patient as I discuss some background to support my claim.

To understand the threat that has been created, we must look at our enemy Iran. To say they are anything less is foolish, unrealistic, and downright dangerous. The most notable and immediate threat of the Iranian arm is Hezbollah. Hezbollah is nothing more than a militant terroristic arm of the Iranian government. In the 2006 summer war between Hezbollah and Israel very, disturbing discoveries were made about the capabilities of Hezbollah. Additional discoveries of the capabilities Iranian military intelligence and electronic warfare capabilities were brought to light as well.

The Israeli Defense Forces during the conflict assumed they had jammed all combat zone communication capabilities for Hezbollah through the use of their electronic warfare systems. Military dominance over the cyber-warfare discipline was assumed by IDF. As time would prove later, this was not the case. The IDF was unable throughout the conflict to establish any electronic warfare measures, of relative success, in  regards to the negation of Hezbollah military communications networks. It appears that the Iranian government supplied much of their technological equipment and encrypting technology to Hezbollah. Any rational person can assume this was a field test of their capabilities in a possible armed conflict with Israel or the United States over their nuclear ambitions.

Prior to September 11, 2001, Hezbollah was responsible for the death of more Americans than Al Qaida. We must also factor in their assumed involvement with Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring  Freedom insurgency forces (al-Quds Forces). It is apparent Iran is making covert military action through Hezbollah and other means against the United States and Israel.

We must also consider the tragic case of Pakistani Dr. Shakeel Afridi. This poor man was imprisoned,  likely tortured, and will likely have an untimely death. This poor Dr. has had his life destroyed, because  information about the operation was released to the media. Similar is the information about the Saudi double operative that was leaked to the press. So many similar instances have occurred under the Obama  administration. Therefore we can only come to certain conclusions.

First, in regards to the actual effects the actions will have. Israel one of our only true friends has no reason to share intelligence, have any type of joint task force, or anything else related to their regional security or U.S. national security interests. If there is not trust between two nations, due to the sensitive nature of intelligence operations, then the relationship of intelligence sharing cannot exist. Moreover, British intelligence, Saudi Arabian intelligence, and other key allies in the intelligence community will not work with the United States. This is directly related to the dissemination of classified information to the media.

Second, it is evident that Iran through Hezbollah is engaged in covert warfare with Israel and the United States. As we all remember there was a plot to assassinate Saudi Arabian ambassador Adel Al –Jubeir in Washington D.C. was thwarted not too long ago. Yet we have an administration, who allows its members to release sensitive operational details about operations. This undermines our ability to properly secure this nation utilizing intelligence assets. Iran is on the move, via Hezbollah, and their intentions are not good. Now, we will not be able to secure information from our intelligence partners because of politically motivated acts.

Additionally there is now an immediate threat to the security of the nation of Israel. Iran, now knowing these cyber-attacks on their nuclear facilities was orchestrated by Israel and American intelligence services, will they not retaliate? Let us hope for the sake of the Israeli people, Iran only attempts similar cyber-attacks. Although I doubt that will be the case. Furthermore, those Iranians who facilitated this attack are more than likely going to be found, interrogated, and executed. Who knows what secrets they will tell Iranian intelligence services in the process.

Moreover, these acts show an obvious ignorance from the Obama administration in the realm of national security, diplomacy, future intelligence operations, and blatant disregard for the safety of the intelligence operatives and the American people in general. What was the goal for these transgressions? Simple, the Obama administration cannot run on any record what-so-ever. As we can see in a recent poll, more Americans place more trust in President Obama in combating terrorism that Mr. Mitt Romney. And trust Mr. Mitt Romney more with the economy. In order to facilitate more support, the Obama administration is releasing these leaks to give the appearance that President Obama is doing an excellent job with ounter-terrorism.

Now let us review what the administration has accompished in actuality. They have destroyed long standing mutual supportive foreign intelligence services. The damage they have done may take decades to repair. The administration has given Al-Qaida, Hezbollah, the Iranians, and every other anti-America nation a glimpse into our intelligence operations. This administration has created circumstances that heighten the likelihood of attacks being carried out against the homeland. They have destroyed the amount and accuracy of intelligence gathered. They have placed Israel in increased danger of further terrorist attacks and cyber-attacks. This list could go onand on.

It appears this administration does not understand the imminent threat Iran poses to us and our Israeli allies. Most media outlets will not be able to report on what I have written, because of obvious biases. That does not mean that we cannot communicate these things to our friends and family. When someone goes to gloat about President Obama’s record on national security and terrorism, just spout off some of what I have written and much of whatyou know.  Any reasonable person once hearing this, would concede that the administration’s actions were counterproductive to national security goals.

I wish there was more time to provide better information on this topic.  Hopefully it was enough to raise everyone’s awareness about the mess we are now in.  There is so much information made publically available on theses topics it is downright terrifying.

With that said, this is more of a venting session for my own personal reasons. None of the topics, ideas, or the like should be a surprise to any members of this sight.  As this is my first post, I thought it would be best just to vent a little frustration over the education of the up and coming generations of Americans.  In my peer’s defense, most do not follow SCOTUS and lower court case law, politics; international affairs, national security, and other related fields as much as I do.  So their ignorance to some of these topics should not be completely on their shoulders.

Although my end goal is to attend law school, which may or may not happen, currently I am studying criminal justice.  Here are some of the
observations I have made into our higher educational system.

Students were asked to respond to the following question from the professor: “Should individuals who are arrested, convicted, and sentenced for criminal acts be allowed their constitutional rights while incarcerated?”

The answers that these young Americans provided were disheartening to say the least.  The overwhelming majority of the students responded that indeed incarcerated individuals should have ALL, not partial or limited, constitutional rights while incarcerated.  Of those students, I was the only person to argue the opposite.  I argued that certain rights that should be guaranteed while incarcerated.  Such rights including but by no means are
limited to, freedom of religion, freedom of speech, due process, et
cetera.  Furthermore, it was explained even those rights (with the exception of religion) have limitations and restrictions imposed upon them.  Even more alarming is a question that I gave the entire class.  How in a secure correctional facility can incarcerated persons execute their 2^nd amendment right?  There were no answers.  Was this because they refused to admit that once an individual commits some crime against society or and individual they have a majority of their constitutional rights removed (once convicted and incarcerated)?  Or is it because these
poor kids did not have any understanding of what our inalienable rights are?  I fear it is the latter of the two.  The educational system is failing, by act or omission, to teach basic knowledge to our children. Basic knowledge of the constitution, bill of rights, declaration of independence, et cetera; should be mandatory courses throughout middle and high schools. That way once in University level studies nothing is a “shock” to them.

Moving along to sociology.  It is a miracle I was able to get a 99% in that class with my conservative views.  No.  Wait.  All of my arguments were based on fundamental logic.  Not so much of a miracle.

The question was asked of the students (Online Discussion Forum) “Should Universal Healthcare be provided to all peoples as a fundamental right?  Why or why not.”

Needless to say those reading this can assume what my answer question was.  On this topic I was able to achieve small victories.  Due to the long winded nature of my argument I will spare those of you the horrific time that would be lost reading my arguments.  (If anyone is a
glutton for punishment I can post it, just say so in a reply to this dairy.)  However, again a vast majority of students believed that healthcare is a fundamental human right by mere existence.  This again I found deeply troubling.  It could be argued, poorly, that the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness applies to universal healthcare.  That argument poised to me, based on logical fallacy, was easily defeated.  (As much as the argument that the commerce clause allows congress to force citizenry to purchase any good or service is baseless.  Let us hope the SCOTUS agrees with us.)

The most difficult class for me to understand my peer’s mentality was public administration.  Too many students held the idea that the government not the people is the solution to society’s problems.  Granted there are certain functions the government must do well for our survival of a nation.  However, not to the degree and scope as most of the students perceived as proper government functioning.

This was an ever so brief synopsis of my thoughts. In closing I would like to reiterate some common ideals that we without a doubt share.

It is up to us, the people, to educate our children and grandchildren in what is to be expected of our government.  We must teach then that the
freedoms cherished in this great nation are fragile and fleeting.  Yet, be that is it may, if we as a people are strong in our endeavors to preserve these rights from those who see fit to tear them asunder, our freedoms will endure the test of time.  To waiver from the course will only equate a
nation, like so many others throughout history, that will stagnate and decay.  Not by reason of another aggressive nation.  Not as the result of some cataclysm.  Sadly, the blessed nation we hold so dear will no longer be the beacon of freedom by our own idle hands, complacency, and utter failures as a free people.  This is the lesson our students must learn.  This is the lesson our children and grandchildren must learn.  This is the lesson we must never forget.

The power of the vote is unparalleled.  Begin to educate those who
will listen on conservative values.  We cannot count on anyone else.  Let our convictions be understood throughout the nation through the ballot box.

Until next time I write God bless
the United States!
