Lately I have been finding lots of slightly disturbing things that the Obama administration has been doing that is seemingly Communist. For example, in the beginning of the school year, President Barrack Obama gave a speech to the school children of America basically telling them to do good in school, but not as the President of the United States, more so your father and I almost got the feeling of it being a sort of do it for your country type thing. Another thing, bailouts. I am aware that bailouts are necessary to keep a company alive and well that is enormous, but at the same time it makes the US Government an investor, giving the government more control over the company. Although America most likely won’t use this, it is still possible. Also third thing, health care. The health care bill gives cheaper or sometimes free (or at least as I understand it) health care to many. This is great, as health care is a necessity to everybody, but when a government starts giving minimal cost healthcare, mortage reductions, and all other kinds related it gets sort of controlling in the sense that the government is not doing only it’s job..In current times, the War in Iraq is (in my personal opinion) pointless. The troops should be moved to Afghanistan and begin getting rid of the Islamic Extremists and the Heroine Exports.
In the Enlightenment, John Locke proclaimed that all people had natural rights, which are the rights to Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness. He said that these rights were unalienable. I’m wondering why the people of countries like North Korea, Iran, and China have not had a revolution. All of these countries have majorities that want rights like Freedom of the Press, Freedom of Religion (except maybe in Iran), and many more rights. These countries are all different with completely their own separate culture but, it is natural for all people to want their rights. From what I have seen with the Iranian Elections it seems that a vast majority favor a free government that follows a strict consent of the governed rule. There were a great amount of protests and even a few people died in these protests. I, as a Iranian myself would love to one day go to Iran but I cannot for fear of being captured or being unable to return to America, due to my religion and relatives.
