“Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely.” Lord (John Emerich Edward Dalberg) Acton

Illinois governor Rod Blagojevich has been in the headlines for what now seems like months! The other day he captured more headlines with the news he actually made an appointment to the seat he is accused of trying to selling to the highest bidder. The fact that his man who is under such a large cloud of suspicion is able to make such an appointment is completely unbelievable.

I do not care whether this man is the next Ab Lincoln, I do not care if he is not mentioned in any FBI file, it is not right. It proves how partisan our country has come to be. Under the circumstances in Illinois they should hold a special election, oh wait we can’t do that because the democrats may loss a seat. So many people made comments saying that no matter who was appointed they could not be accepted due to the situation surrounding the appointment. Then he goes and appointments another African-American individual and now these same people are saying that the appointee needs to be accepted!

A person should not receive these seats because of their last name, their race, or how much money they have. The people taking these seats should be there because of their qualifications and that the people feel that this individual can make a difference; this individual can really help our state.

~Ignorance comes from people who do not understand that everyone has an opinion and just because it isn’t yours doesn’t mean that it is wrong.~

I am a small town traditional girl who falls like most American’s to the center politically. I believe abortion is wrong, I could never nor would I ever make this choice. I was raised to believe that a baby is a baby from the beginning. I do not believe that any child is an “accident”. As the bible says: There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven: a time to be born and a time to die, a time to plant and a time to uproot. Ecclesiastes 3:1-2. However I do not believe that right should be taken away from the millions of American woman who feel that is the right choice for their situation.

I believe in equality on almost all major issues. I believe that no matter the person no matter the race, religion, disability, sexual orientation, and ext they have the right to equality in the work placing and in housing. When it comes to gay marriage I do not agree that it is okay, I believe in the definition of marriage and do not feel it should be changed. However I do feel that these couples are entitled to the same rights as traditional couples.

I feel that our country is headed in the wrong direction and this direction is in apart the cause of problematic situation we find ourselves in. The issue I feel is causing problems political correctness. Our country was founded because our ancestors wanted freedom to be themselves without conviction. When they landed here they wanted to be able to practice their religion freely, say what they want, have the freedom to say what the feel and believe. Over the years we have seemed to have lost track of this fundamental belief many people died to give us. I am sure those who fought to give us America are rolling over in their graves at what we have done to this country.
