Well, it has been a while since I have last made a post. Since I am now in high school, I'm taking a journalism class and wrote a piece for the editorial section about President Obama winning the Nobel Peace Prize, which is complete madness. During President Ronald Reagan's tenure, the U.S. was in the middle of the Cold War and the Soviet Union's possession of nuclear arms was a major threat to Western civilization. President Reagan was able to successfully reduce the amount of nuclear arms in the world, end the Cold War, and re-unite Germany without using military force. The late President was never given the prize.
During part of Vice President Joe Biden's tenure in the Senate, he served as chairman of the Senate Committee on Foreign Relation, the very purpose of the committee is to negotiate with foreign powers and avoid military use. Now, why hasn't the VP been recognized for his work?
Also, if you will remember in August, President Bill Clinton was sent to North Korea to negotiate with Kim Jong-il and secure the return of the two American journalists who were held hostage.
Now, the last President to receive the Nobel Peace Prize was Jimmy Carter, and it seems that every U.S. President that least deserves the Prize is awarded it. If Barack Obama gets the prize for what he will do ,then, as Gov. Mike Huckabee, R-Arkansas, says "where is my Nobel Prize for what I might do?"
My Political Positions
- Abortion- I am VERY Pro-Life.
- Gay Marriage- I strongly oppose gay marriage, domestic partnerships, and all other equivalancies.
- Gun Rights- I believe in the importance of the Second Amendment. It is our protection from tyranny.
- Eminent Domain- As long as this principle is in effect, Americans own nothing.
- Foreign Policy- I have a hawkish point-of-view and am VERY Pro-Isreal.
- Economic Policy- I support removing Congress's ability to borrow money on credit except in the case of war. I also am a proponent of Laissez-faire capitalism. I support corporate America and Wall Street.
