Potatoarecool's post!

So recently there have been a few changes in the world of politics that have changed my position on who to support.

1. His policy on reinstating the assault weapons ban of 1994 has "disappeared" from his list of issues on the obama biden website. I guess it isn't a full acknowledgment of his "change" from his true values, but still, we get to keep our AKs! btw, first he got rid of talking about the weapons ban in the agenda section of change.gov, but now the entire agenda is gone.

2. According to various websites, he has a good republican friend, Richard Lugar. This is awesome for 2 reasons, 1. Obama shows support for going "across the aisle", and 2. the guy's name is Dick Luger. Seriously.

3. Obama recently announced his space policy, which involves pledging an additional 2 billion dollars into the constellation (Mars) program, as well as the Ares/Orion Launch/Lander projects. This is important not only because of the Chinese and Russian space programs catching up with ours, but also because i <3 nasa.

4. Rupert Murdoch ordered foxnews to stop airing criticism against Obama. Without my main source of propaganda, I have no where to direct my irrational hate.

Anyways, these things have changed my opinion toward the secret muslim. Maybe he isn't gonna be that bad. Sure, he has no values and only does what the masses want, but maybe that is what America needs right now. Go Obama!

On a side note:
Barack Obama
Bar Ack
Ack Bar

Believe in Magic

Have any of you played Fable 2 yet? It's an awesome game, but aside from that it has a very interesting line that is said very early in the game. It is when Theresa (the almost grandmother-figure) solemnly says, "It is a grim day indeed, when even children are too world-weary to believe in magic," when the main character's sister says that magic isn't real. Even though, in Fable 2, magic is actually real this could be applied to the real world.


I think to everyone, magic isn't an actual thing that we can use. Or... at least we don't think that now that we're older. However, when we were younger magic was something that we could dream on, something that we could believe in, and something that could make the impossible possible and the unthinkable attainable. I remember that when I was younger, I actually believed in magic, I remembered my friends believing in Santa Clause, I remember even some of my friends believing in the easter bunny. Even though I think we probably realized that there was really no possible way for any of this to happen, we still believed. In a sense magic, when we were younger, was the embodiment of the hope that we had, and if this belief in magic by children leaves this world, the hope that comes with it will die as well. It is true. it would be a grim day indeed.

The Worst Type of Patriotism

To be honest, I never thought that I would have heard that phrase before. For someone to be the worse type of patriot. I always thought that patriots are people that love this country, and there can never be anything wrong with loving ones country... right?

Wrong. There is such a thing as being a bad patriot. Now I'm not saying that these people don't love their country, because to be honest, I think that almost everyone in this country loves America, it's ideals, it's freedoms, it's promises, and its hope. In this way, almost everyone in this country is a patriot (although there are always exceptions to any rule). Unfortunately some of these people, who I actually believe love their country very much, have extremely warped and convoluted ideas. These people believe that if you do not line exactly with their views, you are anti-American. In fact, this is extremely apparent in this year's election when even members of the House of Representatives have called for investigations on, "whether or not some of the people in Congress are anti-American" from Representative Michelle Bachman of Minnesota. This I believe, is wrong. All people who vote, who serve this country, who voice their opinions, on any part of the political spectrum truly love this country. But anyone who says that someone else does not love this country because of their political view is dead wrong. In fact, this is an issue that McCain, Palin, Obama, and Biden have all addressed, that we may have differing opinions on what we should do for this country, but we all love this country.
