What Romney said wasn't a total surprise to me. I assumed he thought like that, the same with
most conservatives. I have been seeing a
lot of comments on this issue from conservatives saying they agree with what Romney
said. They think that those people, that
Romney refers to as the 47%, are leaching off the government instead of trying
to better their lives by themselves.
They think the poor liberals don't want to work hard, they just want
everything to be handed to them.

Party Platform Blunders
Video: The Young Turks on Democrats readmitting reference to
God and Jerusalem identification as Israel's capital to their platform with a
voice vote.
I am less concerned with the fumbling around and am more interested in what it revealed. We can Learn two things from this video:

The Distribution of Wealth
Conservative perspective: I work hard to receive the money I
have. It is then taken away from
me and given to someone who is lazy and chooses not to work. The person receiving the financial
support has no reason to go get a job now and be a productive member of society
because that person gets paid to do nothing. Those individuals who are unemployed and poor should work
harder to find jobs and make their own money, not leech that money from the
people being productive.

The Ultimate Goals for the Progress of Humanity
I feel like I got detached from the purpose of my blog in my
last post, being sucked into the gravitational pull of an ill-articulated
attempt at political warfare, and for that I apologize. This blog is supposed to be my platform
from which I can dive into and attempt to understand the various views of
progress. This means I must try
and understand all beliefs equally, even claims that I personally perceive to
be ludicrous.

Are They The 5 Best Sentences You'll Ever Read?
When we try to simplify things we can end up with ideas or
claims that at first look may appear correct and so easy to understand, however
they are often making too many assumptions and are lacking in other necessary variables. So I am going to quickly show how these statements
can be wrong, and prove that these are far from that best 5 sentences you'll
ever read.

The Gun Debate - Intro
I
have been studying and dwelling on the issue of gun control for a while. I come from a family that enjoys their guns,
and that does not want anything to do with guns. That is to say that my family is split. I have been able to hear both sides of the
argument. Still, I have to look beyond
my family's feelings towards guns to discover what I believe to be the solution
to gun violence.

Chik-Fil-A: Government Banning
Governments should not have the authority to ban a business
based on their expressed religious and personal beliefs. It is against the laws of our country, and
what America stands for, to discriminate against someone and their business
solely on their beliefs, and that is exactly what is being done to Chik-Fil-A. Boston
mayor
Thomas
Menino has expressed Chik-Fil-A is not welcomed there. When the government bans something you like
for no reason except that they disagree with it on personal and
religious standards, you feel a just amount of anger. You feel what it is like to be
persecuted. You feel what it is like to
have a tyrannical authority take away your rights and freedoms.
