McCain or Obama... OR NEITHER!!!

When I first started thinking about this Presidential election, I supported both Ron Paul and John McCain. I saw them both as good options, as I agreed with most of their positions. And the issues they disagreed on were not ones that I cared about. But as I learned more, I slowly began to oppose the War in Iraq. Initially, I supported it for two main reasons:

1. I thought it was a war against terrorism.

2. I believed the people who said it would be a relatively quick and easy war.

It turns out that both of these are false. As a result, I began enthusiastically supporting Ron Paul for President.

But McCain won. After Ron Paul suspended his campaign, I thought I might still support McCain. Choosing Sarah Palin definitely pushed me in his direction. Yet learning about the issues that matter to Ron Paul has made me care about things that I didn’t used to. And I’ve learned more about McCain that certainly pushes me away from him.


Recently, I’ve started to move towards voting for a third party candidate. Ralph Nader is the most well-known option, but I don’t like him much. Would a third party be better than the two major ones? Yes. And here’s why…



1. Both McCain and Obama support the Iraq War.

That’s a fact. You can look up their voting records. These are also facts:

The Iraq War has nothing to do with the terrorist attacks of 9/11/2001.

It has no Declaration of War, as required by the Constitution.

We can’t afford it. Anyone who cares about the economy should care about this point. Billions (trillions?) of dollars do make a difference.

There’s an excellent alternative: H.R. 3076 — September 11 Marque and Reprisal Act of 2001, introduced by Ron Paul. If we’d chosen this route, Osama bin Laden would likely be captured and dead by now.


2. Neither McCain nor Obama would get rid of the Federal Reserve.

Here’s why you should oppose the Fed:

It’s a central bank.

It caused the Great Depression.

It caused the housing bubble by artificially lowering interest rates in 2003.

It’s devaluing the dollar. Inflation and higher prices are merely a symptom of this.

And finally, just in case I might’ve thought Obama was a good option (and for a short time, I did):


3. Obama supports abortion.


Given the following facts, to allow abortion makes no sense:

Life begins at conception.

Historically interesting: Norma McCorvey endorsed Ron Paul on January 22, 2008, stating: ”I support Ron Paul for president because we share the same goal, that of overturning Roe v. Wade. He has never wavered on the issue of being pro-life and has a voting record to prove it. He understands the importance of civil liberties for all, including the unborn.”


So I hope I’ve established that neither McCain nor Obama is a good option. Ron Paul agrees with me, repeatedly refusing to endorse McCain. Instead, he indorses Chuck Baldwinn. He’s a 10-term Republican congressman, but he does what’s best for the country, even if it’s not what the party says.

I had no idea which third party candidate to vote for, until I discovered (via Twitter, no less) that Ron Paul had endorsed Chuck Baldwin. I’m supporting Chuck Baldwin, the Constitution Party candidate.

Baldwin opposes in the War in Iraq, instead supporting the likes of H.R. 3076. Good.

He believes in SERIOUSLY PROTECTING THAT BORDER TO MEXICO. He understands that our country is being taken over by immigrants (illegal immigrants, at that). Pretty darn good.

Baldwin opposes the Federal Reserve, instead realizing that only the market can set interest rates to optimal levels. Also good.

Baldwin opposes abortion, instead supporting Ron Paul’s Sanctity of Life legislation, H.R. 2597. Great!

Due to support by Ron Paul, Baldwin is currently my top (and only) choice.
These votes WILL be counted, and are officially tallied.

I’m not pretending that Baldwin has a chance of winning. But I wouldn’t feel right voting for a president I wouldn’t be happy with. There’s not much difference between McCain and Obama. So why not make a statement about the issues that matter to us by voting for Chuck Baldwin?

50 Cent almost too stupid to speak

IF I WERE HIS MOTHER, I WOULD HAVE HIM TAKEN OUTSIDE AND SHOT.
Just caught an interview with rapper 50 Cent, as he is known to his fans (his real name is Miles Scaife-Dingethorpe).
A fascinating young man, though unfortunately almost too stupid to speak.

"The music business is really the business of selling music," he argued, "so I do what I do."

Music? The oaf wouldn't know the difference between a tune, meaningful lyrics, and a bash in the crock with a salami. I would like to dig up Ludwig van, or one of those boys, and introduce them. "This is how we do music now, Ludo. You spent a year studying with Haydn in Vienna; this guy spent two years in jail for armed robbery and dealing crack. Not only can he not read music, he cannot read at all; indeed, he can barely even speak. And yet he thrives."


"Vas?"



Language warning: he doesn't know any language. While he has mastered basic phrases and threats, his speech is of little communicative significance and incoherent under most circumstances.
...

He made more than 50 million last year. Well, he wouldn't be doing so well if I were in charge. I would have him taken outside and shot.

It's not just 50 cent, by the way. It's all rappers. They all suck. None of their songs are about anything original or meaningful, and this whole country is brainwashed by the tunes that professionals create because they actually trigger some sort of thing in your brain that makes you like the song. Ew ew ew.

Listen to something different. Listen to music.

He has attitude, i.e., a grumpy face. The crucifixes are to ward off bats.

Aberzombie and Bitch

What's with these stores??? Hollister, A&F, etc...
They're honestly all owned by the same money-hungry company. I guess some people don't really live where all the paper-thin advertisements (ahem, graphic t-shirts) are worn by every freaking kid aged 9-17, but I do. Seriously, when we have those days at school where everyone is supposed to wear a certain color, let's just say it's blue, everyone would all look the same. Not the same because they're all wearing shades of blue, but the same because on every one of their shirts is 'A&F' or 'Fitch' or 'Abercrombie.' Every single person you see when you walk down the halls is wearing that!!! And the worst part is, people wearing that crap feel that by flaunting 'The Moose,' they are 'cool.' But Abercrombie isn't really fashion- it's just jeans-and-a-tshirt, 'fit in!!! because everyone else will be wearing THE EXACT SAME THING AS YOU!!!!' wannabe so-called style. Welcome to the days where people can no longer ask you where you got that cute outfit, because
a.) The outfit isn't that cute, and
b.) The store where you bought it is already plastered a hundred million times on what you're wearing.
Plus, my nearest mall only contains stores that are most likely to earn them money. In other words- Abercrombie and Fitch, abercrombie, Hollister, Aero, A&E. Not a single Urban Outfitters, Delia's, WetSeal, Forever21, Garage, or Papaya. So the people in my area don't really get the chance to see all the cool and unique clothing out there. If they want to walk through the mall for a few minutes, they won't get any of that impulsive 'Oh my god, I love those hot pink skinny jeans/funky blouse/awesome blazer, etc- people will be begging to know where I got that' moments; instead, they get naked models shoving Abercrombie in their face.

That's another thing- have any of you noticed that Abercrombie/Hollister models NEVER wear anything??? Aren't they supposed to be promoting that store's clothes??

Okay, my large-ish rant is done.
It felt good to get that out.

A Disturbed Obsession

Okay, so I just have to tell the zero people reading my blog about the greatest band to walk this planet. Their name is Disturbed. Sometime soon you'll probably read a blog about my sincere and vile hate towards all pop and rap and 'modern' music. But Disturbed can totally keep it going through all the crap you hear on the radio and keep a sound that's original and amazing. Their lyrics are everything you can ask for in Rock (even though their genre is totally undecided, it's classified as Rock on iTunes, but I think it's more of a hard rock/alternative metal)- they punch out awesome war ballads, make love seem like a twisting turmoil of suicidal and totally emo yet somewhat poeticy pain, and, best of all, they totally shun Bush. I don't really know what shun means, i just like it and say it a lot.



But seriously, these guys rock. You NEED to check them out. They are the textbook definition of Headbangingly Cool.




Plus, David Draiman's really sexy. (the big guy in the middle)

It's Friday!!

Did that happy title fool you into thinking there was something fascinating and awesome and spectacular and worth reading about in this blog? HAHA. HA. My week was boring, school sucks, the hot guys never look at me, I've got a new zit, and I just about failed a math quiz. I'm feeling quite emo, to tell you the truth. I'm thinking of dying my hair black or at least brownish. BUT that would look yucky with my pale skin.
lala.
Ah. Boredom.
But on a lighter note, I actually wrote a blog!!! For the first time in like 3 months!!! I know for certain that absolutely NOBODY is actually reading this anyway, but who cares. Blogging is something I can do to pass the time. And I can also daydream about becoming world-famous one day from my awesome posts.

Well, I guess that if you read this, I wasted like a whole minute of your life.
That makes me feel special.

Songs of the Month

Hey, it's Stacey, the most music-obsessed person on this planet. If you're sitting there going "Pshaw, she can't possibly listen to more music than me," well, I do. Unless, of course, you're somesort of big-shot Hollywood song producer. Then we can get together and talk about my future famousness. Either way, those earphone thingies are always doing their job, slowly eroding my inner-ear.

So the top five songs that have been playing through those suckers are...

*DRUMROLL*

1.) Ten Thousand Fists-- Disturbed

2.) Getting Away With Murder-- Papa Roach

3.) Drown-- Three Days Grace

4.) Pork and Beans-- Weezer

5.) Face Down-- Red Jumsuit Apparatus

Prepare to be Disgusted- They're Encouraging Kids to Die

One of my friends pointed out an online global warming kids game that you won't believe. In fact, I didn't. But after checking in to it I'm afraid it is all too real. Don't be surprised if this game leads to some children committing suicide. Strong words but once you see it you'll understand.

This game is clearly aimed at kids and is called the "Greenhouse Calculator." It is subtitled "Find out when you should die". The instructions get right to the point by asking "How big of a greenhouse pig are you?" and then "When you are done click on (a skull and crossbones) to find out what age you should die at so you don't use more than your fair share of Earth's resources!" My own age came out as a freaking 4.3 years old.
Even if you are somewhat green, your results will always come back at 30 or less. So, this smart-ass site's implication is we need to die now to save the planet. A simply evil concept to teach kids.

If your self-esteem is fully intact, visit this link:
http://www.abc.net.au/science/planetslayer/greenhouse_calc.htm

If you are worried that you'll believe you're worthless to this planet and deserve to die, seek help.

This game is truly disgusting. Kids are already getting brainwashed in school and on TV that they're harming the planet simply by living. To flat out tell a child that for the good of the planet they shouldn't live past 5 should be criminal.

Just Freaking Swim!!!

Okay, so for the last two hours I have been endlessly attempting this screwed-up Japanses IQ test thingy. You have to get these demented little green-haired midgets across a river in a raft. Aparrently it's given to job applicants in Japan, so I wasn't planning on solving it. However, when I started playing, the annoying little dudes kept killing eachother, and I, the *cough, cough* most peace-loving and goody-two-shoes person on this remarkable planet, got pissed. 120 minutes later, I let them all cross the stinking river alive.
It's annoying. It's addicting. It's evil.
...
Try it.

Hey you! Welcome to my blog!! Brand new, hot off the Domain Train. So yeah, there's really not much here today, but keep coming back, and I promise you there is WAAAAY more to come!!

Mmhmm, I'm a blonde. Keep that in mind when you read my blogs. It's my only excuse for the sheer stupidity (of some) of them.

Quote of the day:
"When I die, I want to go peacefully like my Grandfather did, in his sleep -- not screaming, like the passengers in his car."

And on that happy note- bye!
