What Are We Thinking?

As a achromatic adult female in America, it was a twenty-four hours of years when an African American and a adult female became campaigners on the tickets of major parties. Now that the bang drive is over, what make we have got left?

I cannot understand why we are using a adolescent child's error as a agency of making her female parent expression irresponsible and even neglectful; this have nil to make with our political relation or the issues at hand.

What are we thinking when the lone issue on the tabular array is warfare and rumours of them. National security is critical in this state make not acquire me wrong, but is it our lone worry?

Healthcare is not even come-at-able for many. Disabled children, the aged and even malignant neoplastic disease patients and their households are suffering because medical measures have got driven many to bankruptcy. What are we thinking?

Education should also be on this list. How can the hereafter of engineering and scientific discoveries be the last thing on our heads when the hereafter of our state depends on it? What are the policies to be implemented to do instruction low-cost to all?

Energy dependance is another hot issue. What will we make when one or more than of the foreign states we depend on for oil make up one's minds to "hold it hostage"? Volition we travel to war? Why are we not developing today, programs that volition Pb us to energy dependance and also toward a healthier planet?

I cannot believe the blazing ideological favoritism that happens today. The Fundamental Law gives us many freedoms, one of which is religion. We may not believe in the same Supreme Being but what happened to treating each other with regard and self-respect that all human beingnesses deserve.
The "Pray away the Gay" twenty-four hours is violative and distressing in the worst way. The Fundamental Law states that we have got the right to prosecute happiness, it did not stipulate how or what, so what gives us the right to discriminating against another individual because of sexual orientation? We should judge other by what we see in them, their hearts, minds, and souls. When then make we concentrate on the things that watershed us rather than those that unite us?

The social welfare system assists many, but most of the people on it have got no accomplishments to talk of. Where are the policies to develop programmes that give grownups the tools they necessitate to acquire a occupation and buoy up the loading on the budget?

Jobs are being lost day-to-day because the economic system is being ruined, but because we "whine" so much we cannot see the economic system is doing fine. What? Whining? Good grief! When foreclosure is a world for many and looming for some, measures cannot be paid, people are being laid off, many companies' in peculiar little concerns are closing, instruction and healthcare are in the lavatory and we have got no economical program to repair these problems, everyone should be whining and crying foul. Children are among those homeless person and have got no nutrient in this great state of ours, how can a kid larn on an empty stomach. Crying out loud! This is worse than shameful.

This is why I inquire the question, what are we thinking?

Immigration is another issue which necessitates reform and compassion, not to those who come up with purposes of harming us of course, which was what, happened on 9/11.
Our state is still the topographic point of large dreamings and high hopes. Our flag inspires others to desire and accomplish more, and we are faced with the duty of dealing with this issue properly, and making certain everyone who sees or wishings to dwell here make so legally. We all have got the right to dwell where we can do good lives for our children, but, it must be done in the right manner for that end to be successful.

To our work force and women in uniform, you are protecting us at place and abroad, from dangers seen and unseen. I salutation your courage and forfeit for our country.
I have got seen veteran soldiers on the street, homeless, psychologically hard-pressed and damaged. Their households financially insecure and their attention disregarded. These work force and women should be given the peak award and attention because they put their lives down mundane for our freedoms. What programmes other than charitable giving are going to be implemented to do certain that our hard roes are healthy and mentally stable after war, to travel back to work and take attention of their families? What about the households of those who died, protecting what we throw dear?

The issues are being lost to fiddling matters. Two people are running for the Presidency, Toilet McCain and Barack Obama. Sarah Palin have definitely done what she was picked to make and that was to energize the Republican base. She is a female politician and she knew what she was getting into.

No more than grammatical gender and race cards. History have already been made, now WHAT?

When President Shrub nominated a female campaigner for the Supreme Court place she was ripped to shreds, not because she was a adult female but because of her cognition and her record. Remember that?

Please, instead of being told what to believe and being treated like whining stupid commoners, travel out and ballot on the issues, not the ticket with the most glamour, but for the solutions to the existent issues that blight us daily.

These are the things we should believe about, not folly that return our heads to a fantastical world, but our day-to-day reality.

Let us as Americans, take our state where we desire it to be, not where it have been, or failed to be.
