Peaceful Hate

The view from my computer is quintessentially perfect. I am sitting in my favorite recliner next to the big bay windows of our log house, gazing into the lush green fields of alfalfa surrounded with bold lavish trees. I slip into a calm state of relaxation. Political news becomes increasingly frustrating, and I tend to forget the reason I am so motivated with voicing my opinion. I love this country. It is days like this I calmly neglect the hectic schedule of college.

The view is timeless from my chair, but the feeling of comfortability doesn't last long. I am addicted to the internet; I search the news constantly for interesting articles. While searching, I find an article different from those I frequent. "Police: Body found is 12-year-old Colorado girl"; my heart sinks into a tense mixture of sadness and hate. The homicide of this girl has a similar story in every city across the country. The sick sadistic creatures covering this earth are treated with too much kindness in our institutions. The young girl found in the irrigation ditch, experienced cold cruel torture before she died. The inmates with similar conviction stories, watch television and play games while laughing with fellow inmates. Is this Justice? No, this isn't justice; however it is the system we have in place. As much as I don't agree with the outcome, I'll support the process. Moreover, I find comfort in the my religious views.

I feel our capital punishment laws are in need of complete revision. I don't see a point in keeping people alive with multiple life sentences. It is problematic for the prisons and inmates facing small time; it is problematic for our tax dollars. This sounds cruel, but wasn't it an inhuman act that got them convicted? What are your thoughts on the matter?

Global Government?

I see a very unnerving message among the liberals, and I am not in favor with the idea. Global Government is not the answer the majority is looking for. When does the madness stop? I feel as if I am in a cracked out version of Alice in Wonderland, even though it is ALREADY CRAZY. Imagine the cracked out version.

Obama in a recent message to the President of Mexico, stated we are not defined by our boarders. Who is Obama representing? We are and always will be AMERICANS; we are defined by our boarders. Don't get me wrong, I am very much in agreement with working with the Mexican government in sending back all their ILLEGAL aliens. They would not accept illegal aliens from us; They will understand our message. We should have a strong alliance with the countries we boarder. However, we should NOT have OPEN boarders.

Do you believe we should have a one world government? I don't! This idea chills me to the core. Can you imagine an ever reaching government arm? I realize many of you think I am pulling this Global Government idea out of thin air, but look through the American news and count the times they consider all the problems, ideas, and currency as GLOBAL problems, ideas, and currency. This is subconscious RAPE; when did we leave the AMERICAN problems, ideas and currency? Don't believe me; Google "global obama".

No Child Left Behind Left Teachers Behind

Rhode Island fired 90 teachers involved with the schools having the states lowest test scores. The is a perfect example of the damage No Child Left Behind has on our education systems. Educators are molding the curriculum around the tests and the students are suffering. Our society is so worried about offending children, they form a horrific idea like No Child Left Behind.

Obviously their is the exception to the rule. Teachers will be ineffective and we need to release those ineffective educators. However, our teachers are not the problem in our education program. Lowering the expectations of our education system to allow all children to pass is the problem. Children need to learn now, that life is not fair and they will not win at everything. Leave the children behind that don't meet the standard. If they are not grasping the concept, allow them the opportunity to try again.

This program is showing our children, they have to accomplish everything on the first pass. If they don't, the rules will be bent and exceptions will be made. Society is handing out trophies to all children instead of those who deserve the recognition. This program is raping America of our ambition and competitive edge.

I don't have children, so let me know what you think. Am I right? Am I way off the mark?
