Presidential Elections 1

2012 Presidential Elections:

So many people might not know this about me but I am a pretty conservative democrat. I had a difficult time choosing parties when I was younger because I do appreciate many of the Republican ideals and ways of handling certain issues; however I do identify more with the Democratic Party. So as I have been keeping tabs with all the candidates and the current president, I have been really pissed off about all this religion- talk in almost all of the Republicans speeches. Granted there are other issues at hand but this is one issue I want to talk about today.

  First off to be very clear on where I stand, I believe that there must be a clear division of Church and State.  The government should remain impartial to any religious affiliation as the country has never declared a national religion, since freedom of religion was one of the major reasons many left Great Britain in the first place. What ticks me off is that many candidates have been attacking the current President about his lack of religion (mind you the lack of a Christian religion is what gets them annoyed) even going as far as saying that the President has a “War on Religion” (http://www.rickperry.org/news/foxnews-com-rick-perry-barack-obama-and-the-war-on-christianity/).  Now I am not a die-hard fan of any President even President Obama, however when has Obama ever done anything wrong to “religion”. Now before any of you start attacking me about the President’s view on  Gay Marriage, please read the following:

Legalization of Marriage between two people of the same sex is a power entirely up to the State. No matter how much the President might hypothetically be in favor of Same-Sex Marriage, the State can be the only one to enforce said policy. That is why only a few states have legalized Same-Sex Marriage. Also, to all those who say that the Bible says marriage is between a man and woman, fine that’s great and all but that is concerning a religious ceremony. NO WHERE, does legalizing same-sex marriage mean that they will be recognized as married in any religion, its only for the state recognition, so that they too can benefit from being legally bonded and share the benefits married couples have ( insurance coverage, tax breaks, and next-of-kin in medical and financial situations).

Back to the original topic at hand, there should really be more focus on what actually matters, instead of  speaking about religions as a way to get votes, there need to be talks on what economic reforms, health, and domestic and foreign policies they would support and how those policies would affect the American Public. So please do not be worked up about the blunt use of religion as a means to get voters, please go out there and research on whatever prospective candidate you would like to vote. These posts are in no way supposed to make you want to choose any candidate that I bring up, but as a means to inform any readers I might have and to prompt you to please make your own educated vote in the upcoming elections.

So much glamour, not enough money...

Beautiful silver mirror and brush set!
So I have been a very naughty girl, I have left you all alone for such a long time but have no fear I am back for good. I apologize for my absence but sometimes life, or better yet the lack of a life hinders my blog post. So although I should be doing about a million things besides blogging, I can't help spread my love and lust of all the things I wish I had but being the broke university student I am, alas I can only gaze longingly at these beautiful pictures...But as to not to spoil you, you only get a taste for now, more to come soon.

Anyway, I found this really cool site that analyzes your personality through your musical taste. Isn't that Awesome!  I've put the link up, let me know if your results were as accurate as mine, I was starting to wonder if they were reading my mind or something...I almost reached for the aluminum foil. Ha


Have fun!

Determined to help Japan

As some of you may or may not know, Japan was hit last week with the ultimate trio of destruction. With not only being rock by one of the worst earthquakes in history, this energy caused a surge of water from the ocean (remember Japan is an island nation) forming a tsunami that totaled the northeast cost of Japan, demolishing ocean towns and cities in it's path. This tsunami not only wiped out the homes of thousands but caused major damage to one of their major Nuclear power plants. With thousands of people without homes, food, clean water and the threat of radiation poisoning any amount that anybody could donate would help save the lives of the thousands of people in need. Please let us join to help our fellow man, and give to help a nation who has been so terribly hurt. Please remember that when donating online to give to reputable charities. Posted are two charities that are my personal favorite but feel free to give to what ever organization you want. 

Thanks again everybody
