Hey Obama… What Do We Do Now?

Really, there’s not much to say as of now, because Obama isn’t president yet. However, here’s just a simply worded opinion on the current decisions the president-elect has made, will made, and probably most importantly, what we must be most concerned about.

At the moment, we technically have two presidents: President Bush and President-elect Obama. Has Obama done much? With his daily economic conferences has come four straight days of increases in the DOW Jones. Coincidence, possibly, but confidence in the markets is probably the best reasoning.

In terms of his cabinet, the rumors have been spreading like wildfire. Will Hillary Clinton become Secretary of State? It is one heck of a bold move if he chooses to appoint her. However, the most important question has been whom he will appoint as his economic advisors. Right now, the biggest move he’s made has been in choosing Larry Somers as the new head of the National Economic Council, formed under President Clinton.

Still, it can be argued that the challenges the president-elect is facing is much more difficult than any other from past presidents from at least thirty years ago. The recession the United States has entered really does come second to the Great Depression. If we don’t bring confidence back to the markets, it will be 1929 all over again.

“I’m very optimistic about the future with Obama as president,” says Tyler Diamond of Lynbrook High School, “Although there are many big problems that face the United States, Obama has started out in the right direction by naming many good people as advisors and members of cabinet. I expect other countries to start respecting the United States again as they have in the past, and I am hopeful Obama’s initiatives will improve the economy.”

The one major concern for the president-elect is, for lack of better words, a “revolution of racism.” The chances of an assassination of Obama are, without a doubt, much higher than any other president. That’s what happens when the confinements of history are broken. It was Lincoln and slavery, then Kennedy and the Cold War, not to mention a Civil Rights movement.

Of course, the economy is not the only problem we’re facing. Global warming and recently even terrorism is back on the rise, and our global status seems to have withered with Bush’s presidency. Obama faces serious problems at hand in the Oval Office, and has even said he does not expect the economic crisis to suddenly cease by his first stem. We must wait until January 20^th before we make any major predictions. History seems to be taking a turn for the worst, but for now, patience seems to be the best answer.

I Love Gays, Lesbians, and Bisexuals… No Homo.

Sponsored by: http://ssk001.wordpress.com/, and the letters F, Q, and H

I’m sure this must be a sensitive topic for some of you. In which case, I laugh and pity you.

Oh, and before any of you pinheads make some stupid assumptions because I support gay rights, I’m not gay. Not bi, transvestite, cross dresser, or pregnant man. I’m straight as can be.

So now let me ask…what’s wrong with gays? Men or lesbians. Anyone? Hmmmm???

Besides the fact they’re:
Faggots (really mature)
Queers (it means weird, not LGBT)
Homos (I’m just shaking my head now)
Weird (Are you necessarily one to talk?)
Freaks of Nature (Lord knows Freddie Mercury was a creature of the night)
etc…

The list could go on for years. Gays have replaced the African Americans of the previous century as the one to place all discrimination, prejudice, and hatred on. Just because they like their own sex. Maybe that’s a little extreme, but still, someone probably said it was too extreme when the idea was that blacks were the focal point for racism, at the same time they were being segregated.

It’s not as if LGBTs are monsters out to take over the world, as much as Pat Robertson would love to believe that.

There shouldn’t be any argument against gays. THEY’RE GAY, for god’s sake! On what freakin’ grounds can you make the argument? That they get AIDS easily? That they, um, LIKE THEIR OWN SEX??? Was Magic gay? Was Eazy-E  (the guy who made fun of gays) gay? It’s not as if AIDS-infected gays will lead to the downfall of the human population.

There is one argument I know of I can’t stand: they’re not mentally challenged. I cringe when I hear some airhead say that. So their wiring is different from us. Big deal. It’s not as if they have Down’s syndrome or Tourette’s or some other terrible mental disorder. The concept is so bigoted, it really makes me pity human society as a whole. Especially the United States. Most especially after Prop 8 in California.

On a broader aspect, this country was founded on the ideal that anyone in this country could achieve “life, liberty and the pursuit of Happiness”, and that the country should:

“make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.”

So the word “gay” isn’t mentioned in the First Amendment… that’s what the Ninth Amendment is for:

“the enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.”

I think same sex marriage should fit in there.

The end of the rant goes like this. Gays and Lesbians want the same rights a straight person does. That’s it. They don’t want to suck on your blood, or eat and brainwash your children, though not necessarily in that order.

If anyone from Cali (Go Compton), is reading this, or hell, any nation that doesn’t allow same sex marriage, you don’t have to like what LGBTs necessarily do, but at least be a little American, and let them have their freedom.
