Current Event Week 1
http://www.cnn.com/2009/WORLD/americas/09/27/cuba.guantanamo.closure/index.html
U.S. Defence Secretary, Gates, says that closing the U.S. military prison at Guantanamo Bay, will take longer than they had planed. President Obama set an optimistic deadline for the closing of Guantanamo Bay of January 2010. As they extend the date, closing down the military prison remains a strong priority for the Obama administration.This current delay is blamed on legal complications, but every one remain optimistic about closing Guantanamo Bay. The delay does prove a blow to President Obama who signed an executive order during his first week in office setting the deadline. Republicans are still calling for the prison to remain open rather than transferring the detainees to U.S. soil. Since 2002, more than 550 prisoners have been transported to over 30 different countries.
I think that the closing of Guantanamo Bay is a good idea. In America, we grant everyone due proses and a fair trial, it doesn't make sense to treat our prisoners any differently. But I do understand why Republicans don't want these prisoners in U.S. prisons. I think they should just turn the military prison into a standard high security prison off of U.S. soil, but following U.S. law. But I'm sure there is some flaw within that.

Political Party
As far as political parties go, I really try to keep an open mind. But I usually find myself leaning liberal. I was raised I'm a house with values that strongly effect my political views. I was taught to always share and care for others, which is why I feel strongly about improving the health care system and other forms of political aid. I just doesn't make sense to me that some American families can live so excessively, leaving others unable to feed their children. To me it's very unchristian to let others suffer when you can help. I'm also anti-war. I just don't agree with that kind of human destruction for any reason what so ever.
I also agree with most liberal morals. Personally I'm pro-life, I would never have an abortion. But that is my decision. Politically I'm pro-choice. No one has the right to tell me what to do with my body. I also strongly support gay marriage. It doesn't hurt anyone if two men marry. I think too many people who oppose gay marriage are fulled by their personal religious beliefs, but live in a country with freedom of religion. The environment is also important to me. I think that we need to take care of what we are given.
I'm a bit of a pacifist. I think that I can do whats right for me and you can do whats right for you.
This is what I think, and I'm glad it's different than what you think!
