The U.S.is, in many ways one of the most understanding countries in the world. It has eliminated about 70% of Racists, Sexists, Anti-Semites from existence (most of them are people who watch Glenn Beck's Show). It has come so far since the 60's and 70's due to all of the Movements from Women, African-Americans, and Jews.
But with some things, were not quite where some other countries are.
And one of those things is Water Boarding.
If you are Unfamiliar with Water Boarding, then let me explain:
a Republican would probably explain it like this: there's a Muslim (and that means a terrorist) and he is a bad person (all Muslims are) and so in order to get him to answer questions, we simulate drowning, which doesn't actually hurt the person at all.
Are there lies? yes, many. But are there any lies about the actual water boarding, no. However, this is what really happens:
There's a guy who is a terrorist or, more likely, some guy who drives a Taxi into a camp. And this guy, guilty or innocent, is taken into a room, where they tie his arms to the back of a board and they take an entire jug of water and force it down their nose and mouth, making it seem like their drowning. No, it doesn't hurt the person at all, but if you were sinking to the bottom of a pool, that's what it would feel like. And if you tried to close your mouth, they would open it back up, physically. And the same thing for your nose. And while you feel like your about to die, you half to answer questions about terrorism.
So can't you think that it is just simple, because it is not.
My overall opinion is that water boarding sucks and should be illegal.

WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!
Sitting on the couch, watching the news. Sounds like a Status update for Facebook, but it's not. What I am watching is Oklahoma Senator Tom Coburn talking about Health Care Reform. This is exactly what he said, I didn't edit this out:
Reporter: What's being done to help the woman at the town hall meeting?
Coburn: Well, everything we can, but, y'know she has a case filed with her and that's all confidential, so we can't speak the details of it, uuh, but we've had several people call us, and say that they're willing to help her, since! So, and so y'know the question is-
Reporter: Do you do that with the Millions of Uninsured people in this country-
Coburn: Yeah!
Reporter: Who are on the same boat?
Coburn: No! They're not on the same boat! Don't exaggerate Most people-
Reporter: There are millions of people who are uninsured in this country.
Coburn: Your gonna ask me a question, let me answer, or are you gonna argue.
Reporter: I'm just asking.
Coburn: What I'm saying is there are millions of people who are uninsured, but they're not people who've lost their husband's ability to be a bread winner, and then not have a safety net that is taken care of. There's not many. And the question is, is are we efficient in how we help people who really depend on us.
Reporter: So of the 47 million people in this country, her case is an exception?
Coburn: Absolutely. Absolutely. Let's talk about the 47 million you all continue to refer to. 11 million of 'em are illegal immigrants; 16 million are legible of "S chip" or "Medicate Today", they go anywhere, there gonna get covered 'cause there eligible; we have 11 million who are making over 75,000 dollars a year who choose not to buy insurance.
So we actually have about nine million Americans who really need our help.
Reporter: So it's exaggerating.
Coburn: Absolutely it's exaggeratin'. But it does mean the problem with the cost of health care. Because the thing that keeps the from getting Health Care is cost.
Wow. That's almost as bad as the amount of racism it takes to call Obama a racist.
So there are just 38 million, no, not thousand, not ten thousand, not even hundred thousand. 38 Million Americans without health insurance that we should just pay no attention to.
38 Million Americans, more than 1/9 of the country we can just plow over. Sure, 8/9's of the country we will pay attention to, but 1/9 of the country can just die.
Let's break down the people who should just die, shall we?
11 Million illegal immigrants, which isn't even true, according to a republican study, there are 8 million illegal immigrants who are uninsured. And since it is a republican study, there are probably only about 5 million illegal immigrants. And even so, illegal immigrants have just as much of a right to be healthy as people who have been living here all of their lives. And when he said that 11 million were illegal immigrants, he didn't even go on to explain why they shouldn't get coverage, he just said "11 million are illegal immigrants" as if they deserve to die.
16 Million Americans who legible, but for some reason don't have health insurance. What? That almost makes less sense than the last one. So they have no health insurance but are covered by health insurance?
11 million who choose not to get health insurance, and are rich. So they are making way more money than most of the 16 million and probably all of the illegal immigrants. And they choose not to get health insurance. Personally, I don't understand it and I'm sure that there are not 11 million people who do.
He is pulling numbers out of... I don't even know where.

Senator Edward Kennedy: Dead at 77
The Lion of the Senate, brother of the legendary president John F. Kennedy, Democratic Senator from Massachusetts, Senator Edward "Ted" Kennedy has died from a brain tumor at the age of 77.
When he had started his political career, his brother, John was serving his legendary time in the White House. Partly because of his brother's popularity, and partly because of his great ideas, he was elected into the Senate.There he served 46 years.
Throughout is entire career, he fought and fought for things like Health Care reform. A few posts ago, I talked about Health Care reform in "Health Care for E.T.?", in that, I praised Universal Health Care which Sen. Kennedy did.
Senator Kennedy said in his article for Newsweek Magazine that the thought of someone not being able to afford full treatment for cancer was what kept him on the Senate floor.
Unfortunately, he was never able to vote on Universal Health Care, but I am positive that he would have voted Yea on it.
Although his successor will almost definitely be a Democrat, who will hopefully vote Yea on Universal Health Care.
In 1980, Ted Kennedy ran for president against the incumbent Jimmy Carter.
He ran against Carter because he didn't feel he was moving far enough on things life Health Care. And there, he was probably right.
In the 1980 Democratic Convention, though, he didn't win.
In the 2008 election, he surprised the world by endorsing Barack Obama instead of Hillary Clinton.
In fact, he was one of the few people who said that Obama was going to defeat Hillary Cilnton.

Kim Jong's Ill
Kim Jong Il, current dictator of North Korea, and who is right now suffering from Pancreatic cancer, is a man with many, many problems.
First of all, it's not huge in population, it has about 22 million people, meaning that it has about five million more people than the largest city in it's current rival, South Korea.
There was once just one Korea, but then, there was the Korean War.
They say that around the time when the Korean war started, the new and green Cold War suddenly turned up a notch, and went up to a bloody, explosive war that is the Cold War.
The Korean war started with a sudden invasion of what is now South Korea from North Korea.
North Korea wanted it's own government, the people in North Korea decided that the idea of communism was a better idea than the Korean Democracy.
And the U.S. sided with South Korea, which means that now, North Korea hates us.
But, if that were today, the North Korean people would almost definitely go with South Korea.
Right now, in North Korea, people cannot go over the border to South Korea, or they would be killed.
In fact, the people in North Korea cannot leave any country that is not an ally of North Korea, the only countries that aren't enemies of North Korea are Russia, China, or maybe Cuba.
Two of those four countries listed there are the only two countries that people in the U.S.A. can not go to.
Kim Jong Il is pretty much the dictator of dictators of this generation. (Yes, I know. Even bigger than Obama) He has cut off his country from the rest of the world, North Korea now has way more enemies than they have allies, and he lets his country live in poverty while he spends the countries money on himself, the military, (there, mostly nuclear missiles), and tourist attraction (when he does let people into his country, he puts on huge celebration, in order to possibly get more residents).
About two years ago, the New York Philharmonic Orchestra played a concert in North Korea, where they were greeted by a warm audience.
That may have been more than just a concert, that may have been one of the best opportunities in the history of the U.S.-North Korean rivalry for making up.
It could very strongly benefit for our making up.
In the end, Kim Jong Il needs to be de-throned.

Health Care for E.T.?
Health Care reform is something that has been on the news so often, that people, including me, are getting sick of it.
But once you think about it, it is a pretty interesting subject.
Especially Universal health care.
If it really is that bad, how can it help millions, and millions of people.
The people that the Republicans ignore, that they watched die in New Orleans during Katrina, and did nothing about. And while the Democrats said that we had to do save these people's lives, and if we had Al Gore as a president (that's right, although I was only two when that happened, I'm still mad about it.) thousands of people would still be walking this earth, but since we had George Bush, those thousands died. And the city is still recovering from it.
If Sarah Palin had to choose between a Billionaire who had a business opportunity for them, and one thousand people who were on their death beds (not making a cent), she would choose the Billionaire with no questions asked.
But ever since the Obama campaign (the only reasonable campaign in that election as far as I am concerned), Obama was proposing the idea of Universal Health Care.
It is a myth (and one that the conservative media came up with) that the U.S. has the best health care system in the world. Which is evident by the life expectancy rate, in 1945, the U.S. was No. 1, in life expectancy; now, it's No. 21.
Another myth is that Universal Health Care would be too expensive. The fact is that their could be 200 billion dollars chipped off of our Ten-Trillion Dollar debt if we went with Universal Health Care. That's 2% of the debt, and right now, anything that we can chip off of the debt is good.
If it were the Health Insurance company's choice, they would keep the 200 billion, and the Chairman and CEO's of them would give it to themselves as bonuses.
It makes me angry that the Health Care industry cares more about making money than they do about actual health care. that's obviously the purpose of pre-existing conditions, to make money. If you have cancer, and you are lying on your death bed, and you had changed your health insurance about three years ago, they would probably say that it was a pre-existing condition, and you would get nothing. Nothing at all.
It is another myth that if we did this, the government would completely run Health Care. Since the campaign, Barack Obama has said that if you like your doctor, you can keep him or her, but if you don't like the health care situation you are in, you have the option to change.
In the end, Universal Health Care is awesome, and Pre-existing conditions suck. So please, Congress, pass Universal Health Care.

Thank You: Yang Jiechi
I would just like to issue as statement saying thank you, Yang Jiechi, Chinese Foreign Minister, for bringing support to peace talks in Darfur. It is something that the U.S., Great Brittan, and pretty much every other country in the world (I'm sorry if your country supports peace talks in Darfur, I would like that and I would support that, but right now I would like to talk about Yang Jiechi and China's support) hasn't done, and since China, being perhaps the second most powerful country in the world, has supported it, (and if only we could convince the U.S. to support it) I think that Sudan can at least try to do it.
Jiechi also mentioned that he considers Darfur to be one of the foreign "Hotspot Issues" along side Iran's Nuclear programme, the many wars in the Middle East and (this one surprised me) Nuclear bomb crazed North Korea. Now, both being communist countries, and both having some of the biggest weapon forces in the world, they both half to be allies, and for China to throw North Korea under the bus like that surprised me. But this is good, if North Korea listens to their ally, that could be the end to a lot of Nuclear weapons.
But back to what the article was originally about, thank you once again, Yang Jiechi, for supporting peace talks in Darfur.

conservativetruth.org, the world's most racist website
So, I recently went to conservative truth.org,(I advise you not to go there, you don't want to add to their popularity) and they compared our president, Barack Hussein Obama (I like his middle name. It means good, small, or handsome one in Arabic) to Fidel Castro, who seems like God in next to the other person that they compared our president to, (who won by a landslide over that strange-looking Demon that is John McCain) Adolf Hitler. That's right, they compared the president of the United States to the Racist, Anti-Semitic, Sexist man who started World War II, therefore killing about 72 million people, and about 4% of the population worldwide. Wow, that takes a lot of courage, and the fact that no one (at least not that I've read) has pointed this out until now? Wow.
Glenn Beck said a few weeks ago on his show that Barack Obama hates White people. Therefore (sorry Stephen Colbert, I'm gonna use the same joke that you did) saying that Barack Obama hates his own mother.
We finally have a President who's not White, and they call him racist. There have been so many other presidents who have been racist. To name a few, Woodrow Wilson (who was in favor of the KKK), Andrew Jackson (who forced thousands and thousands of Native Americans oust of there homes, and if they weren't moving fast enough, there were guards who would shoot them) and George Bush (Jr. more than Sr., with the Iraq war and basic prejudice for people who live in the middle east).
Republicans did the same thing to Sotomayor. She said a reasonable statement saying that with cases involving Latina or Latino people, she could probably come up with better results than a white person. Which is probably true.
Meanwhile, Samuel Alito, another Supreme Court justice (Republican, but did you really need to know that?) Said that he, being a Italian-American could come up with better results with a case involving an Italian-American than anyone else on the Supreme Court.
That is exactly what Sotomayor said.
Is it just because she is a Democrat? Or is that racism by itself.

Election Fraud (?) in Iran
Iran, ever since the Bush administration, (God am I happy that those years are done) has been the only country the world that they hate that they haven't invaded.
Iran has been a country that ever since the years that the U.S. decided that all Muslims were terrorists, has been on the list of countries that the U.S. wants to eliminate.
And with the recent stuff with Iraq, that has fueled another hate of Arabs.
And since Ahmadinejad was in the Presidential position most of the time Iraq was invaded, the U.S. hates him.
Unfair? Yes.
But don't get me wrong, Ahmadinejad has many, many problems. Such as he is a Holocaust denier.
So with the Iranian Presidential Election on its way, where the Election was between Ahmadinejad and someone else, you can see why the U.S. was so thrilled and exited to get the results.
Who exactly was this "someone else"? Mir-Hossein Mousavi, the former Prime Minister.
Mousavi is considered a much more reform figure than Ahmadinejad, and was supposed to be a favorite amongst young voters. Young voters who, if they were basically unanimous, could decide the election.
When the Washington Post took a poll, it showed Ahmadinejad leading by a 2-1 margin. Two thirds of the country.
However, early voting spoke otherwise. It had a lead towards Mousavi.
So, at this point, it could go either way.
On my opinion, neither source has much use.
Nationwide polls are rare for Iranian people, so they may have felt as if the Government was going to come and get them if they didn't say that they were voting for Ahmadinejad.
And most people don't vote early, most people vote on election day.
On June 12, millions of Iranians lined up to vote for someone who was going to help lead their country for the next four years.
And when the results came in, millions of Iranians were surprised.
The election showed a strong victory for Ahmadinejad.
Mousavi demanded a recount.
In just a few days, thousands of people around the world were protesting, most of them showing picket signs that said "Where's My Vote?"On them.
Although Mousavi, and thousands of people worldwide demanded a recount, it wasn't granted to them. And Ahmadinejad was sworn in.
Was there election fraud involved, well, based on the polls, no. However, in statistics, it showed Ahmadinejad and Mousavi close on young voters, which wasn't expected, it was expected that Mousavi would completely destroy Ahmadinejad in that field.
Another thing that fueled protest was that Mousavi lost, by a great margin, in his home district. Which is very rare for a serious competitor in any serious election.
Another election fact that I was suspicious about was that Ali Khamenei, the Supreme Leader of Iran wasn't going to let Ahmadinejad loose, who he has favored all along.
And lastly the fact that there was no recount that was granted to Mousavi makes me think that the results of the recount would probably in Mousavi's favor.
