In today’s world, partisanship has become a tool for partisanship, which is really a shame. Democrats are using it as a double edged sword against the Republicans. They claim Republicans should stop opposing their views and become a part of the prescribed change. While they accuse Republicans of being partisan in order to win back Congress, they sit behind closed doors and draft partisan bills. Republicans on the other hand use partisan behaviors to promote their beliefs since the majority isn’t interested in any of the minority party’s beliefs. In the end, both parties just need to wake up and realize that partisanship isn’t evil, it’s necesary and healthy.

I was a little angered at the almighty Jesus Obama this morning when I
decided to post my morning thoughts on the wall at Facebook. The update went:
Ah, I can start my day now that I’ve seen the almighty Jesus Obama on the news this morning. Looking for a big jump in my Microsoft stock with Windows 7 coming out, and a fall in my financials with Obama killing salaries meaning the smart people will leave those companies or go overseas.
What followed was a spirited, even if somewhat heated debate with a more liberal colleague. I made the mistake of watching the today show and seeing them mention Obama for most of an hour on a show that masqueraded as news. Steve Balmer was on touting Windows 7, but the news also mentioned Obama’s salary cap on bankers. This thought, along with the people on the street giving remarks about bankers not deserving the money was disheartening. I thought the whole purpose of capitalism is that you get rewarded for hard work. The thought process should be that if a person takes advantage of the system to get some money they don’t deserve, you don’t complain about them doing so, you find your way to take advantage of the system. In other words, you are responsible for your actions instead of complaining about others. Ethics may change as business finds better ways to make money but your values are there to guide you through. Either you complain and never have what it takes to take your piece of the pie, or you work with the system and take a whole pie for yourself.

Here is a editorial I wrote recently for school. It was meant to evoke emotion, which is why it is a bit over the top:
Recently there has been a disturbing trend as our newly elected leader shows his inexperience in foreign affairs. As a part of his policy of changing everything even if it isn’t needed, he has given up on our hard line approach to the world in exchange for a kindler gentler United States. . The question is does he make us weaker in the world by doing so, and does he even play into possible future calamities. Obama as a Christian should know the signs of the bible and the role he could possibly play in the apocalypse as a world leader pressing for peace in the Middle East through treaty.

Bob McDonnell, Republican candidate for Virginia Governor.
A funny thing is happening in Virginia as Obama continues his downward spiral to reality. The governor who’s only real accomplishment has been forcing Obama on us is about to be replaced…It’s election year. In short, eight years of Democratic rule have steered Virginia into a ditch. For those who don’t know the back story, Virginia is a traditional bible belt Republican stronghold. Eight years ago, however, a Democrat was elected governor; no doubt because his last name Warner is the same as the long serving Republican Senator of the same name. Then four years ago, current governor Tim Kaine upset the favored Republican Jerry Kilgore. The last eight years in Virginia have seen Warner start by breaking his promise to keep the Republican governor’s plan to phase out the car tax. Democrats took over with a surplus, and have spent the last 8 years spending money even though they had quickly turned the surplus into a deficit during Warner’s term. Governor Kaine continued the same wasteful government and then even attempted to create a bunch of new fees and taxes in order to pay for transportation that has been neglected during Democratic rule. Thank God for the Judicial branch and its power to decide things like private taxing authorities are unconstitutional. So now we sit here with traffic nearing Washington DC levels and a governor who hasn’t noticed that if you stop spending on social programs you can afford to fix roads.
