Did I mention?

This blog contains commentary on my life at college and at home. I have been recently including my pursuit for a better resident life here at my own school. This will be an ongoing theme among many posts intertwined with various other issues.

Election comments

As this country prepares and braces for another four years of George W. Bush as our President, we must look to not the defeat of Kerry but the election of 2008 and more importantly to keep an eye on Bush. As we know, a lot can be done in 4 years. Imagine another four years of the same, if not worse decisions and plans.

We can not allow Bush to make the same mistakes and guide this country into the very wrong direction it is in. Issues such as the draft, I do not see being put into place for now. Of course we do have a “back-door” draft occurring now, forcing our soldiers into staying a year or longer, forcing them not to retire and stay the course in Iraq. I ask you, how wrong is that? Soldiers who have served there time, there 8 or so years are not allowed to go home to there families because Bush wants to play with his military? It’s like us when we played with toy soldiers but on a much larger scale.

Focusing more on today, we are going to have to dig in and endure these next four years. No one is saying they will be an easy four years, but it has to be done. Some have honestly suggested the urge to attend college in Canada because of this election result, but I do believe that is a bit drastic. Some feel less patriotic.. We must stay behind our country through to good and bad times. We must maintain a strong position against the war on terror and see this economy gain strength in the next four years. Remember what this country represents to all those who are not lucky enough to live in this country. Recall to yourselves when you feel down about this country that people die each and everyday for doing things we do daily.

May God see us through the rest of the war and may God bless America.
