So, the age-old question. What is Sensico, republican or democrat? Well, okay, I know I’m not fooling some of you but I went on PoliticalCompass.org and took the test to see my results. Trust me, I already know, you know I’m liberal leaning but I thought it’ll be fun and I was bored. So, these are my results,
So, there you have it, and for further explanation, here’s some other graphs. Have fun, go take the test. I think it actually pegged me pretty well. On a social scale, I’m not too far from the center but lean libertarian. On an economic scale, I’m not close to being a leftwing extremist (far left loon) and my views on certain economic issues reflect why I don’t make it to the half way point of being left (though, I’m pretty close). So take the test and feel free to share your results. But, I completely understand if you don’t want to share that you’re in the same quadrant as George Bush
I know I’m a lone democrat on this one but I’m happy to see him go. His scandals was bringing his poll numbers down and would have most likely lost a seat the dems should have been able to keep. The worst part was that most of his scandals involved financial issues. I have no reason to think he was in the “right” on any of those scandals and I’m sure I’m not the only one that thinks that. Anyways, this only made him look like a sleazy inside politician of the worst kind. The fact that top ranking democrats would defend him or save his ass only reflected on the dems in the end.
Though, I will give him credit for his achievements and in the end he is doing what’s right for the democratic party.
Ahhh, the Tea Party movement. One of the most respected movements of our decade. A movement of angry, mostly white, people that want to get rid of socialist politicians, Obamacare, taxation, yell at sick people in townhall meetings and they also hold up very intelligent cute signs. Well the leader of the Tea Party movement who started, TeaParty.org, Dale Robertson, has a little controversy of his own. Picture of him surfaced holding an N-word sign.
What self-respecting racist uses an “A” instead of an “E” in the N-word?? Oh well, maybe he’ll learn to spell it more offensively better next time. Don’t know how controversial this sign would be within the ranks of the Tea Party movement. I mean, most of them would be inclined to own a similar if not worse sign anyways.
So apparently Brit Hume is very concerned with Tiger’s soul. He thinks in order for Tiger to get through this and come back then he needs to convert to Christianity. As, somehow Buddhism is less adequate and less forgiving.
Oh, so I understand the Christian faith now. F-up and you get forgiven over and over again. But, if that was the case then why haven’t Jenny taken back Mark Sanford after his Argentinian romance, or why did republicans bash Bill for cheating on Hillary and those are only a few cases. Where republicans not Christians then? The fact that divorce rates are going up in a Christian nation probably doesn’t mean much to Hume either.
You’re not surprised…are you? Well to those who do not know, flight 253 went from Amsterdam to Metro Detroit on Christmas. Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab tried to set off an explosive device but a nearby seater pounced on him and thus prevented a deadly situation.
How was Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab able to get on the plane with a common explosive device that authorities said is easily detectable? That’s a good question to ask over in Amsterdam and Nigeria. If he passed screening at Nigeria’s airport then most likely he would have not had to go through extra screening at the Amsterdam airport. Unfortunately it was reported on CNN that other passengers thought security at Amsterdam airport was lax that day. Even if it wasn’t Nigeria is not known for having good security at their airport.
How is Pres. Obama responsible for this situation that took place overseas in another country’s airport? That’s a question to ask republicans since they’re claiming that to be the case.
First, Rep. Peter King came out and compared Pres. Obama’s response to that of Bush flying over Katrina. Really? Sorry to tell Rep. King that knowing the facts before giving an impulsive speech with little substance is Obama’s style. But, suuuure, Rep. King wants Obama to make a speech before he knows all the facts…of course he would, cause it’s the way Pres. Bush did it! He also suggested that Pres. Obama dropped the word “terrorist” therefore, that’s why Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab was able to get on the plane to commit a terror attack. I guess full-body scanners, metal detectors and x-rays can’t do their job unless the word “terrorist” is written on the bomb.
Then, Sen. Jim DeMint thought this was the perfect time to be the best republican he can be and bash Unions. He thinks unionization is the problem with airport security. Did he ever think that if unionization was somehow worsening airport security, that this would have never happened? Ya know, seeing as how the security breach happened in Nigeria and Amsterdam. Notice how he also threw in Gitmo as well. Would un-unionizing US airports make since anyways? I’m not the biggest fan of unions from a political standpoint, but without unions there would be high employee turnover, low wages, less skilled workers…no one would you want that at an airport. Anyways, here’s Sen. DeMint going off-topic, not being relevant, and politicizing the terror attempt.
Rep. Hoekstra (R-MI) thinks it’s “fair” to blame this issue on Pres. Obama.
It would be great if Pres. Obama can be “all-knowing” and watch over and be at all the embassies we have all over the world. Unfortunately, he can’t and I would suspect he’s not up at night monitoring the hundreds of people on the No-Fly and Watch list and screening each one individually all on his own. Hoekstra is obviously trying to use this as a political issue because from where I’m sitting, this is clearly not his fault. If anything let the investigation actually happen as to why Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab wasn’t put on the No-Fly list. Either way, the investigation would not show that Pres. Obama was responsible or could have done anything differently.
Also, if this whole thing is Pres. Obama’s fault…then should he get full credit for the ZERO lives that were lost? And by republican standards…should Pres. Bush be responsible for the 3000+ lives lost on 9/11? The answers to both those questions should be no.
Well the year is almost at an end. That’s not entirely bad because 2009 sucked in many ways and 2010 is sure to bring something good…or bad if you’re an incumbent politician. Anyways, here’s the top 5 posts of 2009.
Who can forget the Obama Education Speech controversy. right-wingers, as always, stirring up fake controversy and scaring suburban moms all over the country into thinking Obama wants to indoctrinate their kids. Here was one mom that was literally crying because Obama wanted to tell kids to stay in school. The controversy itself caused some schools to not even air the harmless speech and in the end everyone including school principals looked stupid after the speech took place.
Should probably get the award for letting us find out he cheated by giving us the weirdest excuses. His initial excuse was that he was hiking in the Appalachian. Unfortunately, that was a horrible excuse since at the time there’s naked hiking that goes on, on the Appalachian. He eventually got caught and gave a tearful cheaters admission.
Who can forget the Oakland subways shooting where a police officer was accused of wrongfully shooting Oscar Grant. The video was shocking and later the cop did face consequences.
Video of Beck crying on cue was amusing…therefore I posted the video. It was actually for a photo shoot for Time Magazine, but one can’t help but wonder…how does Glenn Beck cry on cue on live television. Who the hell really cries everyday because they love America. We all love America, but do you cry everytime you think about your love of country? I don’t.
Well, pictures of the Obamas, ESPECIALLY Sasha and Malia Obama gets a lot of visitors. They are the most popular kids in America right now. Also, who doesn’t love to see Michelle Obama looking fabulous. Check out the pictures.
So, there you have it, and for further explanation, here’s some other graphs.
