Where Do Teens Stand Politically?

admin — Mon, 03 Aug 2009 14:17:49 +0000

Teen Ink, an online magazine written for teens by teens, publishes weekly polls on their site. Past polls have included “Which Social Networking Site Do You Use?” and “If You Could Have a Superpower What Would It Be?”, but the one I found interesting was “Where Do You Stand Politically?”

We tend to think that teens are generally worried about how to get rid of acne, who they are hanging out with after school, or what music is on their iPods. Today’s teens, however, are becoming more politically active. While most tend to have their parents belief system, teens are starting to have their own voice as well.

The poll had the following results:

Moderate – 28%
Liberal – 25%
Very Liberal – 17%
Conservative – 17%
Very Conservative – 10%

What would be interesting is to ask these same teens how they stand politically in twenty years when they have had a chance to get a job and start raising a family.

Laptop Stickers

Is your laptop a boring grey color? Mine is! Did you know that you can actually buy laptop skins to liven up that boring laptop and support your political view at the same time? I have see one with an American Flag, dollar signs, hand shakes, etc., but I still haven’t seen one that supports a political candidate. This should be the new wave to political advertising.

Are you a true Conservative?

As I have often said, the two party system does not seem to be working too well. Why? The American people just don’t fit into two categories any more. I propose a new four party system that will better balance Congress, however Presidential Elections would simply fall apart. Could any one win with just 25% of the vote? Here are the parties:

Socialism Party – this is basically the party that Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama are advocating anyway. Why not make it official. The government would run everyone’s life and individual freedoms would be few and far between.

Democrat Party – for those Dems that are not quite on the Socialist bandwagon. They still are Pro-choice, Pro-gun control and for a big government.

Republican Party – These are for the Republicans that have basically given up on conservative values. They tend to be Pro-choice and Pro-gun control. They also tend toward a big government, but would like to see national security as a top issue including increased or stable military spending.

Conservative Party – SMALL government, state’s rights, pro-life, 2nd amendment rights, lower taxes. All the issues that conservatives SHOULD be voting for. And, by the way, John McCain is NO conservative!

Sheehan to Run for Seat?

admin — Mon, 09 Jul 2007 12:21:37 +0000

Cindy Sheehan, war protester, has decided that if Nancy Pelosi doesn’t start impeachment hearings on President Bush by July 23rd, she is going to run for Pelosi’s Senate seat in 2008. Sounds a little like blackmail, right? Sheehan, whose son was killed in the war, would run as a independent. She does not live in the district (she lives outside Sacramento), and she won’t even need to procure herself a real estate broker, since California does not require residency in the district you are running for.

Sheehan not only hates President Bush (and all Republicans), she is now turning on the Democrats as well. She believes that they have “caved in” to the President and are not doing the job she wants them to do. It will certainly be interesting to see what happens on July 23rd.

Vacationing

Do you pick your Vacation Rentals by what looks appealing to your family? I have heard that some people are now picking their vacation spots by if it is located in a Red or Blue State. When I traveled to Washington State a few years ago, I bought a children’s book by Dick Cheney’s wife, Lynne, which I thought looked very interesting (When Washington Crossed the Delaware). My daughter had just been studying the subject in school and I thought it might interest her. I didn’t buy the book because Cheney’s wife wrote it. I bought it because it was well done and had great pictures.

The cashier gave me a strange look and said “Are you from out of state?” I replied yes. Then she said “We don’t get many people purchasing this book here.” She went on to add that she thought the book was wonderful. Too bad that there were many who missed out on a great children’s book because of what others might think if they bought a book by Lynne Cheney!

Research

admin — Sat, 14 Apr 2007 15:38:08 +0000

I need to do some market research and see what percentage of the American public would be willing to vote for a good candidate from a third party. The problem is that we may need to have two new parties. America seems a little divided on certain issues and you definitely want to vote for someone who you feel will represent you.

I need to work on my political platforms for My Own Political Party. Do you think people would join a party with a nickname of MOPP?

Take the Political Test!

Do you want to really know how your political views stack up? Then you need to take the Political Test. It has some great questions and polls. Try to be honest about your answers. My results are as follows:

Social Moderate (56% permissive)
Economic Conservative (65% permissive)

Which makes me a: Centrist (leaning toward Libertarian).

After you see your results, make sure that you click on the buttons on the graph at the right. You will see where famous people fall and where the political parties fall as well!

Let me know how you did!

Promises, Promises

admin — Tue, 06 Feb 2007 15:45:13 +0000

The Democrats, on promises of fiscal responsibility and ethics reform, took control of the House in January. Now it is February so I guess all bets are off. Nancy Pelosi, new Speaker of the House, is asking for “routine access to military aircraft for domestic flights.” This practice is not new. After 9/11, Speaker Hastert was provided a military jet for trips back to his home state of Illinois. Since the Speaker is the second in line to become President, increased security is warranted.

Here is the kicker. According to the Washington Times “… sources, who include those in Congress and in the administration, said the Democrat is seeking regular military flights not only for herself and her staff, but also for relatives and for other members of the California delegation. A knowledgeable source called the request “carte blanche for an aircraft any time.”

Doesn’t sound like fiscal responsibility to me. And aren’t the Democrats the ones looking out for the environment as well? Extra military jet flights will improve the environment dramtically don’t you think?
