The truth sets you free...from a job!

Juan Williams recently recently made a remark about feeling "nervous" while seeing people with Muslim attire on a plane. He was promptly fired by NPR for his comments which were "bigotrous" by there standards, and NPR stated immedeately his views did no coincide with there own. Juan Williams was fired for saying something that any American with a care for their life, or their family and friends feels. If I was aboard a plane with a person of Islamic Faith, I would be nervous. People say that it is wrong to think this, but it is human nature. If it is politically incorrect to say so, than it is politically incorrect to use my first amendment right, but at least I will not be fired for it like Juan was.

Why I am a Conservative dot dot dot

The reason I am a conservative is because my parents raised me that way, although I would have been one even if I was raised a liberal. I say that, because I think it is very easy to be liberal, till it starts to affet you. AN example of that is politicians talking of using green power and such, but than they refuse to have windmills put up near their homes because it is "unsightly". I am all for helping people if they need it, but first thye need to try and help themselves. My parents are conservative becaue their grandparents are die-hard conservatives, more so than the averge right-wing-nut-job; so to my family I would be the "liberal" one.

Is Communism in the United States? Blog Post Five

1. Should we have a national Department of Education? Explain.
2. Address the weaknesses in the argument in the article you read
3. Do you think the Race to the Top Fund is a good idea or is it the Federal Government overstepping its grounds? Explain.
4. In your opinion, should education be nationally or locally directed? Explain.


1. THere should not be a nation departmnent of education, because if there is a single all powerful group that controls what is being taught by the schools; they have no way of knowing what each school needs to learn.

2. The article seemed to do alot of ranting about nothing in my oppionion, it was extremely vague about Bush's policies that supposedly promoted Communism in the United States.

3. I think that it is a good idea to promote competition in the states, simply because if there is a reqard offered than the "Race" may be taken seriously. Also, any money won can be used for the school systems for said State.

4 Education should be locally directed, because the locals know what is the most importnt thing that needs to be worked on, the national government has no idea what is going on in schools over 100 miles away.
