Change You can Decieve in
Tonight I've heard some of the dullest repetition in my life. And it has nothing to do with poetry memorization. Rather change. I think pocket change is more exiting than the kind of change Barack Obama talks about. He's supposed to be a good speaker. But now listen to the holy chant of the messiah's minions. 'That's not change- it's more of the same". Tonight after listening to VP nominee Joe Biden, I've decided to post on this idea of 'change'.
First off, what is change? Change is a verb, adjective and noun. Dictionary. com calls it:
So what is this change? Something I find interesting is change means whatever Obama finds it to be most convenient. Considering it's Obama's 1 consistent platform it changes a lot. Something interesting to note is that at first it was mere 'change'. Whatever that meant. Then Obama was out to change the system and bring a new kind of politics to Washington. This was used against Sen. Clinton- this was the new kind of politician. Now Barack Obama has won the primary and it's a different kind of change. The crowd at the convention were all given signs (Which they did some fancy choreographing with) that said :"McCain- more of the same". Now it is used in the general election, touting McCain as a '3rd term of President Bush'. As if that's bad. Tonight Biden proceeded to name several areas where Obama would bring change and McCain would fail. None of them were valid. (more on those issues another time.) Evidently change isn't what it used to be anymore. I wonder why?
Barack Obama on a tenet that's always changing. That's what change is.
But does this miracle cure to all of our countries problems work? Apparently the messiah isn't the miracle worker he appears to be. He follows the same democratic ideas the party has been touting for years. Raising taxes, creating more government programs and being morally despicable when it comes to issues like abortion doesn't bring anything new to democratic politics. He just does it at an unprecedented extreme level.
As to the different- than-the-current-president type of change, I don't regard it much. Of course a democratic candidate will be different that President Bush. This strategy just uses the hatred for the president from the party. It doesn't say anything. Bugs Bunny could run for president and this kind of change would be present. It doesn't mean anything. It just says 'anything is better than what we have now' and the claim that the current president has done nothing good is absurd.
Even considering the fact that Obama doesn't give anything different from other democrats beside his extremism, some could still say that Democrats are the progressive party, so change is their motto for a reason. I beg to differ even on that. Progressive implies advance, something democrats clearly can't do. But it appears that they just like change when it's changing to their ideals. Change itself isn't good, even for democrats. Take the hasty adjournment of congress by speaker Pelosi. In case you didn't hear- the vote was up that would decide whether to allow states to decide for their selves whether to drill for oil. Since democrats like their restrictions the way they are Speaker Pelosi rushed to adjournment, turned off the mics and the lights and declared a vacation. In vain republicans tried to rejoin, but Pelosi wanted things to stay the way they are. After all, change that might allow for a healthier economy isn't the kind the Democrats want. So the progressive party wants change some o the time.
All in all the party has no foundation, no one principle they can tout about. What would their principles be? Globalism? Infanticide? Communism? No, they prefer to pass it all of as the nebulous change. I say you can 'keep the change' Barack Obama. I'd like to keep mine.
First off, what is change? Change is a verb, adjective and noun. Dictionary. com calls it:
To make the form, nature, content, future course, etc., of (something) different from what it is or from what it would be if left alone: to change one's name; to change one's opinion; to change the course of history.
Why don't people get the simple fact that change isn't necessarily good? One could change for good or for bad, it can be irrelevant. Why is change so good? I've heard too many simple minded Americans say they'll vote for Obama because change is good. That's one reason why pocket change excites me more than Obama change. You are guaranteed something good- money (which Obama evidently doesn't think people should have much of). If one supports this change policy for change's sake, you have no idea what you're getting.So what is this change?

Funny....
Fox news just aired a report on some gangmembers/ imbeciles. Apperantly they posted a video on YouTube waving around weapons challenging the police to "Come get us". They did.

Sooo... What should I post on next? I have a few dwelling thoughts and a few drafts running and
I was wondering what you wanted to hear about more, since I'm too lazy to do all of them right away and some may not be done for a while. So what do you want to hear of first?
so what do you think?

AAAAuUUUUUUUUUUGHHHHHHHJHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Phew uh AAAAAAUAUUUggggggghhhhhhhhh! YIKES .ummm.......yeah. I know this is Kind of Random, but I'm feeling a little like Mrs. Weimeyer, and I needed to scream. The long and short of it is...I Qualified......
Yeah, it is about as random a joke my mom could make, as I didn't realize it until after a minute she told me. Sorry If I'm not coherent...I can't even think straight, let alone blog. basically she thought she'd play a joke at dinner and we started thinking of movi lines from the alamo (2004). I have no idea why. It's incredably unlike her. We named some lines, when she said "I liked some of those Davy crockett lines." What????? He has some of the worst! We listed some of his, when she prodded further, asking "What was that line, 'you can go to hell...'?" If you'd heard it, it'd be near impossible not to know. We had joked about it in relation to nats, since they are in Texas. I recited "you can all go to hell, I'm going to texas" which he had actually said in tennesee, not AT the Alamo. My mom said, "wait, wasn't it something else, say it again..." My dad prodded for my repeat of the line, also...Then just the first part. My mom added "and we are..you qualified." There was a moment of stunned silence. Jonah stopped eating.....Madiline stopped struggling with her Enchilada. They all looked at Mom. Except for Jonah, who then took another bite of guacamole. After much questioning, I found out that it was no joke, someone unfortunately couldn't come, and I was next in line. I was greatly dissapointed earlier, to not be able to see those of you who qualified at nats. It'd be great if all Touche could go, but then we'd need more slots. Though If I could chose I'd say many more did much better than me, I just happened to be in the right catagory. I had put NCFCA out of my mind, but it hadn't had enough of me. I am indeed, though last to qualify, going to Texas.
