Lots of people are angry because of what Barrack Obama said about small town America. Why? Because it was "Elitest." Now maybe I am just crazy but ina  war you would want an elite soldier if you were going to have surgery you would want an Elite docter. So why would you not want an Elite politician? Oh yeah they would be "above" the common man. That is bad right because no president should be above the common man. Wait a minute haven't we carved these guys heads into a mountain if that does not say elite then I do not know what does.

This is the stupidest BS I have heard in a long time. If you actually get close to running for president you are most definitley an elite because it costs a heck of alot to run. Rather then having two presidents who pretend to not be elites like Bush 1 and 2 (both went to Harvard) wouldn't you rather have a president that would honestly tell you   that they were from the upper social crust of society as they all are rather then pretending no to be? The other oint is that the Clintons and McCains are both reputable families that are definitley elite while interestingly enough Obama does not fit the criterea of an elite as he would have to come from six generations of wealth. He4 definitley does not. So why doesn't everyone stop complaining about a presidential candidate that acts elite and is and more about a presidential candidate that does not act elite and is elite?

I am starting this blog because people want to talk about this. The Texas police and social services have raided a Texas compound full of the fundamentalist mormons who split from the church after it banned polygamy. These people were abused and brainwashed which I am sure will lead to calls for more oversight into these types of groups. But then privacy comes in. Should these groups have the government looking over their shoulder constantly? Why did the Texas authorities not do anything before now knowing that this group split because it wanted to practice polygamy? This situation is a mess. I also wonder if this very unequal society of women serving men is a warning for our nation ever going back to something like that. How important ios equality in sexes?

On a previous post of mine someone said that people change their views ever so often which leads them to go from liberal to Conservative or Conservative to Liberal. I wanted to expound on that a little bit. I was quite liberal when I first developed a political ideology at 6 but by the time I was 10 I had become quite conservtive leading to me on the verge of supporting Bush in 2000. After the Iraq war started and I began to see how messed up conservative ideals are I became quite a bit more liberal which is where I am now. There is a chance I might at some point become quite conservative in the future statistically. 

This is just one example of how people's political ideology can change. Now the question is When did you develop your political ideology? How do you develop it? Why?

I was watching the Colbert Report when I found this video on illegal immigration. It is hilarious! All the people going to the Mexican border to defend America and doing nothing.

I took a break from blogging for a while mainly because I had alot of school work but I am coming back because of this. After reading all these blogs about how surprised all these white people are that blacks have a cynical, negative and conspiracy driven view of whites I wonder how ignorant white people are of both black culture and racial divisions which continue in this country. I do not agree with what Reverend Wright said but alot of what he said is a general view by black america. If people do not understand why they hold this view you are truly ignorant. All conspiracy theories come from somwhere. Discontent with the effects of 9/11 led to the conspiracy theories just as discontent with oppurtunities for black americans and continuing racism leads to this type of anger. Racism is still widespread in america according to recent surveys. Americans cannot act out their racism due to political correctness but it hovers just beneath the surface of our society. Maybe that is why so many blacks think they can't get jobs heck maybe their right part of the time. I do not know. I just find it silly that so many people are so surprised when a racialeconomic group that is so far down the economic ladder is so angry. What is even stupider is that people are blaming a man who is part of the group for listening to this guy. Oh well good old fashioned guilt by association we will never learn. Always letting others define us instead of being allowed to define ourselves.

What a bad month for Hillary! She did everything she could but is coming up short to Barack Obama. The Democrats seem fine with either of them but are having trouble making their decison. Obama is edging her out though and I think that Obama will win Texas while she takes Ohio. The Dems are massively coming out for Obama even switching from Clinton.

Meanwhile the Republicans settled on a candidate early albeit one they did not really like it seems. Republicans seem to hate him more than Democrats do which says something about his positions I think. McCain also keeps on fighting with the right wing talk show hosts which definitley could cause problems on tyhe road.

The election it goes as it appears to be going has  an extremely old candidate going up against a very young candidate. One brings expierience the other change. I do not know who will win but I will say that with people so mad at Bush change seems to be contagious in middle America.

On the Democartic side with the Iowa primary over and Obama continuing to rise it seems his message is soundly defeating Clinton with Edwards positioning himself to try to become the vice president. Obama's message of change is bringing in many new young voters. He is going to be a very formidable candidate if he wins the nomination. On the Republican side Huckabee wins Iowa but I do not think he is a viable national candidate. Even though he also brings a change message he appeals to a very narrow group. He would be a much better vice presidential candidate. McCain has userped much of Rudy Gulliani's hawkish support due to his success in Iraq and is the closest to a frontrunner the Republicans have. If he wins New Hampshire and Michigan he would be in a very good position to get the nomination. The Dems turned out almost twice as many people in Iowa as the Republicans which bodes poorely for the Republicans but maybe that is just Obama's likeability.

I am not sure if it is because of where this blog is for but there seems to be alot more hatred for people that share different views politically, socially, in any way. As a country we have spent years arguing over things and issues. Some issues will never be fully resolved. Some treat this difference of opinion as a reason to hate someone. I urge everyone not to nurn their bridges by resorting to personal attacks and character assasinatons becaise you disagree with people. We should be people first and not partisans. Though we blog online anonomously that is not an excuse to throw decentsy and courtesy good American values out the window. We argue on the political blogs to try to get others to se our point of view to solve problems. insulting and personal attacks are increasing neither ar useful nor effective. We should be presenting arguments and discussing facts. Insults accomplish nothing and make everyone angry. Even people that agree mostly politically cannot get along because we are unwilling to accept that we all have differences of opinion and probably always will. There is no emotion or rational reason for this hatred. We have to get along no matter how much our opinions differ.

I was wondering if all of you who wanted to throw all the illegals out of the country would be willing to vote for either of the leading Republicans Romney or Gulliani if they were nominated. I just want to take a poll not discuss the issue.
