Congresshas to choose whether or not to focus on the war or to focus on health care. Obama's new plan involves sending more troops to Afghan. People disagree with his plan because they feel that the U.S. is basically doing everything. They believe that the U.S. itself won't be able to win the war; they need the support from other countries and from Afghanistan itself. Afghanistan is working on raising its security, and allied forces have stated that they are willing to provide troops to support the U.S. forces. In order to pay for the war, they want to pass a bill to set up a war tax. Everyone will pay this tax except for the troops and their families. Congress wants to focus on the war and leave healthcare for next year. This could be for two reasons. One they really want to end the war, which is good. The other is that republicans might see this as an opportunity to stall health care reform, decreasing its momentum. The truth is that I believe that they should focus on ending the war first. The war has gone on for too long, and too many lives have been lost. I also believe that the U.S. will need help, but I wouldn't say it's not other countries' responsibility to help us. The U.S. had some fault in getting involved in a war unprepared, other countries don't have to get involved if they don't want to.

This Video Contains Strong Language...but it's funny.










This is a video by the "young turks." The host comment's on O' Reilly's statement. After seeing the website, even before that, i could tell that young turks is a democratic show. From previous experience i'm assuming that republican's watch O'Reilly. Why? Well it's because republicans, or at least that's what is said, watch fox news and republicans run it. Now, I'm guessing democrats also watch it. Might be that they want to know the other side's arguements, which is good. Others are just looking for them to mess up and exploit it. Like the i posted before this one. I'm not using for a political purpose, i'm using it because it's funny to see someone who is a proffessional get mad and just snap. Yes it happens to everyone but it's more rare to catch well known people doing it during a show.





Another Young Turks video. I'm assuming that his show was seen by Republicans because it's stated that he was agaisnt Immigration. A lot of people hated him, which i'm assuming are mostly Democrats. Youn Turks are democratic, from what i've seen, so I'm assuming that they are making it seem as though almost everyone hates Lou Dobbs. I'm sure there is a large population that believes Dobbs is right.

As soon as I opened the Media Research Center page I recieved an offer to sign up and support the fight against "liberal media bias." Ironic because the want to end liberal bias, when they are being biased themselves. Both sites are meant to stop bias in the madiea. Media research center apparently focuses on the liberal media, while FAIR supposedly foucses on all media. The Media Research Center wrote an article celebrating the 20th anniversary of the berlin wall's fall. Throughout the article they quoted Reporters,News Anchors, and others for statements supporting communism. they began by stating that some journalists were influenced by the "evils" of communism. That is bias. They don't want to be bias, but they are. I understand, it's difficult to write an article without having their beliefs affect it. Still, they shouldn't state that they want to end liberal bias, and all they are doing is being bias against them. FAIR believes that main-stream media needs to be reformed. It is bias. It has a Democratic influence.

The H1 N1 epidemic had a lot of people terrified. On of the recommended actions was to wash your hands frequently with hand sanitizer. The Image shows that person is so terrified that they won't touch loved ones. The hand sanitizer is to show he "wants" to be with her and touch her (not inappropriately people), just that he has to be cautious.

Kim is compared to the "balloon Boy" scandal. They are saying that Kim is bluffing about having nukes. He just wants the attention. Just like the family in balloon boy, they were doing it for publicity.

Democrats feel that the republican's are more dangerous than a person who could be a terrorist; hence the I love suicide bombers shirt. they depict what a stereotypical republican looks like, white collar, NRA member, and religious. also people are blaming muslims a lot that when they might actually do something, people are too afraid to blame them.

this cartoon is likely made by a republican. Obama was suppose to fix or "heal" the economy. this cartoon states that he is actually letting it die and then he will leave it on it's own. he will say that it is fixed, but really it's even worse than before.
