Reflections: What America needs

by Meghann

Created on: June 02, 2008

What happened to making educated decisions? The top 2 issues right now are, 1- the war in Iraq and 2- the economy. We are in a very tense position at the moment. We are at war and now people who have no idea what it's all about are wanting to pull our troops out and end this war. Don't you think that's what President Bush wants to do, too? Do you think he likes making American families sad, devastated, and insecure when their loved ones are being called to serve? He's not the anti-christ. Yes, there maybe plenty of things to make fun of because he's human. If we help positions of power we would be critisized too. But we didn't put our families, pride, or anything else on the line to cowboy up and run for president now did we? What happened to having respect for leaders? People also need to be smart enough to realize that this is not a highschool campaign. These Democrats can't promise pizza everyday in the cafeteria and actually make it happen. If one does make it to office and they want a universal healthcare plan how long, logically, do you think it's going to take to get that into effect? YEARS! If it even happens because they can't just make a law and voila! it's done! It has to go through a little thing called Congress which takes forever and Im surprised they don't tell us this part because as Senators they LIVE THESE BATTLES ALL THE TIME!

Let's take a look at what this nation would be like with a democratic leader shall we ...? We would pull all of our troops out of battle grounds and bring them home which means we would surrender to our enemies. This means that our enemies who HATE America will then see weakness and come over to our turf and blow us all up. That would probably be a good thing since about 3/4ths of Americans will pretty much be living in doctors' offices and emergency rooms because they're entitled to free healthcare and the only time they will leave their place in line is to go to the grocery store for food. Good thing they have foodstamps because they have no money seeing as how they can't work, right? WRONG! They are getting unemployment benefits! The government is handing out free money for being lazy and totally taking on the burden of financial hardships and personal responsibility because they don't want you to feel like a bad person! "Don't even consider making something of yourself because the world is ending anyway" says the democratic leader to little jimmy. "We will buy your food, give you a house, and send you to the doctor
