What I
Want
This week is
Spring Break, it is Friday morning which means it is almost over. I have seen pictures of friends and family
having wonderful vacations and doing what I would consider Spring Break
Activities. Me, I did what I do, stuff
for school. The only difference is I was
able to stay in my lounge clothes. I don’t
mind doing those things in my jammies at all.
However, one of my favorite parts of Spring Break is getting caught up on
politics.
If I could
have lived a different life I would have been a political consultant. I get flustered when I hear reporters or analyst
tell me what I need to know instead of giving me both sides of the story. I feel like both sides of the aisle are just
talking and not giving me a straight answer, therefore, I need to go out and
get the answers. This is super frustrating
to me because I know am an informed voter.
I know my stuff, not bragging just giving my opinion. However, most the county could name the
newest celebrity couple than name the President of Russia.
This is what
I want in the coming up election next year.
I hope that candidates are listening or reading, I know I am not the
only American that feels this way. I want a leader! I want someone that wants the best for the
country that my ancestors fought for in 1776.
I think since WWII there have been 2 US Presidents that I feel like made
a huge difference in our country and were leaders.
First, John F. Kennedy: He stood up to the USSR and wanted to do
anything to stop communism from reaching Cuba.
Was he able to succeed? No, but missiles
did not reach Cuba. The entire world watched
to see what was going to happening in October 1962.
Second, Ronald Reagan: January 20, 1981 he is sworn and the hostages
were released from Iran. The same day,
why? The Iranian leaders knew that he
would come after them. He also would
work with Tip O’Neill and the democrats to get things done. He also was tough on foreign policy and
helped bring about a huge change in the world when it came to Communism. We needed that.
This is what I want. I want a leader! I want someone that won’t work with others, I
want someone that puts American’s first,
and most importantly I want someone to be like Theodore Roosevelt that will
speak softly and carry a big stick I
want our enemies to fear us or at least the consequences of hurting us or our
allies.
Unfortunately this is not what
we have now and it will take years to repair it. If ISIS is the JV team then we are not even
the freshman team. We have decided to
leave Israel in the wind. This is not
good foreign policy at all. People from
both parties will tell you this. If you
think having talks with Iran and telling them to stop enriching uranium is
going to work you don’t know the facts.
The leaders of Iran don’t want to stop doing this and they will make it
very hard for inspectors to come in and see what is really going on.
This week I read that President
Obama wants to make it mandatory to vote.
While voting for me is the most important thing I can do for my country
I hope this doesn’t come to be. I don’t
need people voting if they don’t know what they are voting for. American’s need to be informed about who the candidates
are and what they stand for, what the issues are and what their long term
impact will be. America do your homework,
study things out, go to debates, watch them on TV, find out for yourself. If you rely on SLN, John Stewart, and Stephen
Colbert you aren’t getting the truth.
This would be like going to an NRA meeting to find out the problems with
gun control or going to an ACLU meeting to find out why race issues in American
aren’t working. These comedians while
very funny are not news anchors or journalist.
I really hope I get what I want in November 2016, I am not asking
for a miracle just someone that is best for our country. I want someone that will bring our country
together, that is willing to work on both sides of the isle, and most importantly
be tough on our enemies
