Nazism- Could It Happen Again?

   After a lovely political chat over a cup of tea and cookies with a friend, we came down to an interesting topic- Nazi Germany, and it's connections with America today.
  No, I'm not a radical right-wing extremist. However, bear with me for a second as I list the similarities between the two:
Germany's traits:
-Religious oppression
-Censorship of books in schools
-Government interference in schools
-Youth training by the government
-Extreme regulation by "Big Brother"
-Assassination of anti-Nazi citizens

Now, in comparison, America today's traits:
-Religious oppression
Is it not considered oppressive to ban school children from telling each other "Merry Christmas" in schools, because it is religiously "incorrect"? To refuse to allow children support their beliefs from a young age is just contributing to the lack of religion, moral values, and standing in society today.
-Censorship of books in schools
"Fahrenheit 451", "Huckleberry Finn", "To Kill a Mockingbird"? How has the government been able to remove influential classic literature from our public school systems?
-Government interference in schools:
As if censoring the books weren't enough, they had to remove the Pledge of Allegiance and prayer from schools as well? What about the politics they teach, that the government will take care of you- no matter what you end up doing, be you a nurse or living off well-fare? Not to mention their twisted view on America's history and founding principles.
-Youth training by the government
What with all the "programs" put out by the White House, there is no way for many of America's youth to escape the constant bombardment of propaganda being put out- how, thanks to the government, there is no need to worry about getting a job, or earning a living. Don't worry, the rich will pay for it.
-Extreme regulation by "Big Brother"
One only needs to look outside at the cities to see how regulation by the government is affecting citizen's every day lives. They control prices of goods, how most foods are processed, marketing, etc. 
-Assassination of Anti-Nazi citizens:
While we are currently in no danger of being assassinated due to disagreeing with the officials running our 'free' country (though our right to free speech may be in danger soon), Obama is able to have anyone he wants assassinated- even in the US. 
  How are people ignoring these warning signs? While I doubt there will be another genocide of a certain religion, what about the other affects of Nazism? The fact that the gov has put out armored, x-rayed vans that can see every part of your house, exactly where you are and what you're doing, and who you're with is rather unnerving- what happened to privacy? While neighbors aren't yet ratting out their friends, what about the "neighborhood watch" who gunned down an innocent kid walking down the street the other day?
 How do we maintain our simple liberties- freedom of speech, religion, bearing firearms- if the government is taking it away? It's like "Animal Farm" by George Orwell- they are taking our amendment rights, and slowly narrowing them! When our freedom of speech is gone, how will we be able to learn what's really going on in the government? When the government controls all the sources of information, what will we do instead? Will we just be brainwashed?
  Just some interesting things to think about...
  Where is our nation going?

Promise I'll get back to the humor in the next post ;-)

So This is Kind of Random

   Hello, everyone! I've not had much time to blog, what with settling in the pony, school, karate, 4-H, social life, etc. I'm planning on posting some pictures in the future of Logan(that would be the pony), the dog in his cone, and other random things. Until then, Auf Wiedersehen!

Of *Course* I Want to Reelect Obama!

   Note the heavy sarcasm in title.  

  Well, another election is coming up, and Republican campaigns are in full swing! Who will it be? Ron Paul? Newt Gingrich? Or will it be...
   President Barack Obama?
  Some gasps from the audience would be fitting right about now.
  You would think that, after being sold out to China, being threatened by the Middle East, borderline recession, people would have wised up a bit and would realize that, if we do not take this man out of office, America is going to be even worse off. However, here's a clip from some of the supporters, 4 years ago:

  

(In this video, the questioners are asking people what they like about Obama's policies- but they're actually McCains)

  I suppose with this level of thinking, I'm overestimating American citizens again.

    If American's voters are pretending to understand what they're talking about, when they honestly have no clue, how are we going to get America out of this mess? Then again, maybe they just want a president who's intellect makes them look superior... Watch this clip:

                                       

(57 states, eh? See what happens when the teleprompter goes missing?)

   To be honest, I think this is turning more into a race election than anything- that's what it was 4 years ago. People are so afraid of being called "racist", they vote out of fear of being labeled- even though they don't know what either candidate stands for! I am a white conservative teen, but I would vote for any candidate, male or female, black, white, Hispanic, whatever, provided they have sturdy, sound policies that they stand by. In the 2008 election, McCain did not once make any mention to Pres. Obama's race- our president did. In the presidents words:

"They're going to try to say that I'm a risky guy. They're going to try to say, well, you know, he's got a funny name, and he doesn't look like all the presidents on the dollar bills and the $5 bills."

    I have not once heard anyone from the Right Wing say anything regarding his race, except for saying, in their own words, that he is pulling the race card. If we are to get rid of racism in America, stop bringing it up. According to Morgan Freeman:

    

(See? Logical thinking is not unattainable!)

   Since Obama's election, the new statistics are:

-88 million out of work, and not looking for jobs (working age)

-30% unemployment for over 52 weeks

-Worker health insurance prices have raised by 23%

-Home values have declined by 13%

-Average price of gasoline has risen by 90%

-Americans living in poverty has risen to over 6,000,000

-National debt has reached 44% higher than before he was elected

-Said debt is being increased by 4 billion dollars a day, since Obama has been elected.

This years election will certainly be interesting.

Finally!

  Well, after almost a year of searching, I found her- my dream horse! She is a 5 year old Trakehner mare, registered as Limited Edition with the Trakehner assn. She's had about 30 days on her, is 16.2, and a dark bay (darker than in the pics). She is only $1,500, and she comes home Tuesday! Her sire is Kobra Von C, who happens to be the half-brother of Moorlands Totilas, making her from the Gribaldi line. Without further ado, here she is (pics from her inspection)!

 

 

   Sorry the quality of the pics is heinous,  the scanner is not the best! But you can get a pretty good idea of her basic conformation, and she's even more gorgeous now (these are several years old). You can all expect to be bombarded with pictures this Tuesday evening!

I can't wait!
